I have been through several foundations in my life. This one is definitely a keeper. The color, Honey, is a perfect match. It really does hide pores even though it is essentially light in texture. On ...Read more

This product is must buy for oily skin type with large pores. I recommend moisturising face before applying this foundation.

I bought this a few months ago. It almost matches my skin and I like the texture a lot but I'm not so happy about the coverage or the ways my skin feels. I will finish it but definately will not buy a...Read more

This stiff dried so fast, I felt like I was trying to spread cement on my face. Worst foundation I've ever bought. Not even as good as some drugstore brands. Agh.

I bought in France recently. It's like a mousse foundation and melted on my skin. It's very light so I feel like I don't wear makeup at all and it controls oil not so well. The disadvantage of thi...Read more

Let me qualify this by saying I no longer use this product. But it was my HG foundation in the 80's when my oily, acne-prone skin was at its most evil. I was compelled to write when I saw all the ne...Read more

It's very similar to Pore Minimizer Instant Perfector in its consistency: it's very powdery, even mousse-like. I find this consistency really light and pleasant. But as said, it's very similar to Pore...Read more

For me this is more of a primer than a foundation - it doesn't provide enough coverage for my blemish-prone skin. It is very sheer, but it does minimize pores (though not entirely, it would take a mir...Read more

This foundation does what it says it will but you have to apply it very quickly or you will have streaks all over your face. I used it when I was a teen and haven't used it since. I liked it, but it...Read more
