This is surprisingly okay. It's not fabulous at all. But, it fulfills a niche for me. That niche is: I am lazy AF and when I am hauling my sleep deprived carcass to work, but wish to exert...

I ran out of my Physician's Formula compact makeup and thought I'd try this. Pros: convenient packaging, average pricing, lots of shade choices. Cons: transfers onto everything. very drying,...

First off, this isn't my go-to foundation. I bought it because I like the L'Oréal True Match in the little glass bottle, and I wanted a compact foundation to carry around on the go. Plus, this was...

I picked this up, used it a couple of times. It seems very similar to the MAC Studio Tech foundation. I haven't used it in awhile but I'll pick it up again to compare to this. They're both...

Didn't like this at all. It was not super blendable as it claims on the package. Instead it just sat on my skin, obvious that i was wearing makeup. It enhanced the tiniest of dry patches (and...

I rather liked this. It isn't amazing, but it definitely is above average and the price when it goes on sale is great. It has a dry texture. When I think of a cream to powder I think of something a...

I bought this in the very lightest shade (porcelain) to match my super fair skin. It looked fine in the package, but went on incredibly white. I might have been willing to experiment with a darker...

I love powder/compact foundations, I just find them easier to apply. I picked this up at Big Lots in the color C2 for $4.50. I'm pale, but this stuff applies Kabuki white. It does oxidize a...

This is my holy grail of powders. I always need to put a setting powder because of my oily skin and I was fishy on trying this out because I'm more of a translucent powder user. I got the shade w4....

This isn't the best but not the worst. I understand the negative reviews but for me it personally works. I use this in place of liquids because it's easy and fast. Blending does take some time but...

To give you an idea of my skin- it's combination and I have a yellow/light tan complexion (Asian). This foundation blends easily to my skin and doesn't give me that super pink undertone or orange...

No no no. No. Just no. Bought this by accident instead of powder, thought I might be able to make it work. Oh God. I'm amazed if anyone can. I can match to w3 in the paler months, and while this...

Update (8/2014): Holy oxidation, Batman! For whatever reason, this foundation--which I still have a good amount left of, BTW--has decided to start oxidizing like mad. W4 went from a good match...

I normally wear the liquid version of this but w3 seems to be very popular and I can't locate a bottle. I figured this stuff would be great in a pinch. This stuff has a built in mirror and...

As with so many products, the key to success is in the application. I love this stuff, but it hasn't replaced my foundation. It HAS however replaced Benefit's boi-ing as my go to heavy duty...

I wanted something similar to Purestay or Airwear and so I decided to give this a try. I really want to like it because I like the idea of it. What I think the problem is is that when you smooth it...
