Foundation Reviews

Peaches 'n cream-complected young people need not apply, but the rest of us need a little help evening out skin tone, hiding sun damage, and masking enlarged pores.  That's where a proper foundation comes in.  There are two main ways to use this product: mineral powder (praised for its non-comedogenic and natural sun blocking properties) and liquid formulations (best for creating a dewy glowing look).  Be sure to change your usual shade by season to best match your natural tone.  If you can't decide between two shades, go for the darker one to give your complexion warmth and mask flaws better.

ChickAdvisor members give props to powdered foundations from Bare Escentuals bareMinerals, MAC Studio Fix Powder plus Foundation, and Maybelline New York Mineral Power Loose Foundation.  High marks for liquid formulas belong to Maybelline New York Dream Liquid Mousse, Marcelle New-Age Anti-Wrinkle Makeup, and Make Up For Ever HD Invisible Cover Foundation.

Dermmineral Mineral Foundation

I love this foundation because mineral makeup should be natural but it isn't always. This one is. I like how they put l-lysine in it so us over 40 can wear a powder without it amplifying every fine line. They say l-lysine increases collagen and I love how soft if feels. I...

It's a good working product for the price that you are paying. It is a drugstore product but it still works well. My skin is very oily and is makes it look better than it usually does.
Pari Beauty Dual Perfection - Wet & Dry Foundation

Purchased a Pari Beauty dual perfection - wet & dry foundation as I wanted something lighter for the summer. I got this as I wanted to only use this powder as a all over dry foundation powder without having to use liquid. I apply it in the morning & it stay feel all day long...
Marcelle Oil Free Matte Finish Make-Up in Almond

This was my most recent foundation. I've had the worst time trying to find a foundation that matches my skin tone... I thought this one would match since it seemed like it did in the store (I did test it on my jawline!), but once I walked outside I realized it did not match...

I use this foundation like i would a moisturizer. It is soft and applies easily. The coverage is not my favorite but it is great for those not really feeling too much makeup days. I am not sure that I would buy this again for the price.
Mary Kay Crème-to-Powder Foundation in Ivory

5 reviews

The perfect coverage for a night out! Goes on creamy and dries to a powder finish but won't smear or rub off. I use a CC cream for everyday wear but this is my go to when I have a special occasion. Covers imperfections and you don't need to use a whole lot. Has a wonderful light...

Elizabeth Arden Intervene Makeup SPF 15 Foundation

Foundation... welcome to my personal grail quest! What I want is is coverage, natural looking, comfort of wear, oil-resistance (does it change colours or show shine easily), and it must have a good sunblock, non-comedeogenic and oil-free. Ring the bell, I have a winner! This...
Elizabeth Arden Flawless Finish Bare Perfection Makeup SPF 8

1 review

This is a foundation which is a good travel option... it has a SPF 8 (lower than what I normally want for day) but good for winter, or if you are taking one foundation with you for day/night. It does not make me look white in photos (usually from titanium dioxide pigments in...

This was a highlight on my foundation grail-quest. What I want is coverage, natural looking, comfortable/ long wear, oil-resistance (does it change colours or show shine easily), good sunblock, non-comedeogenic and oil-free. I absolutely LOVE this one: it has medium coverage -...

I would definitely not buy this product again. It left my face looking very dry and patchy after I put 2 layers on my face as it didn’t give me much coverage either.
Marcelle Hydra-C Perfect Fusion Makeup

1 review

This is a light coverage foundation that gives my skin a more even appearance without looking caked on. My skin looks fresh, almost dewy when I wear it, but not oily. I quite like it! I don't like heavy foundations unless I am doing on camera work so this is perfect for...
Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Powder Foundation

I am originally from Indonesia and it is a tropical country. The country has given me so many bad skin problems and one of them is clogged pores. I have never been so grateful in my entire life because now that I use the Neutrogena face minerals face powder I almost don’t have...

I have tried a variety of foundations but this on by far is my favorite. Feels like nothing on your skin but covers well. Great variety of shades and was able to find one that matches my skin perfectly. Does not cake on skin, isn't dry or oily. My favorite by far

I did not like this stuff much at all. The coverage was not good and not buildable. The price was also not the best escpeciall for what you get. Would not recommend at all.

Love the MAC foundation, really easy to apply, not greasy, keeps on my skin throughout the day. Provides matte coverage to smooth out my skin. Easy to remove at the end of the day.
Revlon PhotoReady Airbrush Mousse Foundation

I bought this foundation and I had high hopes for it. But I was very very disappointed. It's so thick and looks extremely cakey. Even with primer and setting spray it rubs off really easy and looks horrible! I definitely do not recommend. It will not last through the day or...
