I was excited to try this foundation as I like Physicians Formula products. I was very disappointed! The smell was horrible, like clay and when I first started brushing it in, it was streaky and orang...Read more

This is the only drugstore foundation out there that says it is gluten-free. It's very matte, which is great if you have oily skin. It works well on very pale skin if you have the "Fair" shade and ap...Read more

This foundation is awful, especially for older women. It comes out of the tube like a thick paste. Smells like clay. Doesn't really cover much of anythings and actually accentuates pores and wrinkl...Read more

Gritty, drying, not much coverage. Although not great, love the brush. Now I know what a foundation brush does.
