Mixed feelings

I have combination skin and this foundation emphasized those dry spots and made it look caky! It also has a very yellow undertone and didn't blend in to my skin as smooth as I'd like it too. I would recommend this for people with normal/oily skin as it could do wonders for them, it offers great coverage :)

LOVE IT BUT A BIT PRICEY

I love this foundation, I tried a sample I recieved at Sephora first before buying the full size. This will last a long time because you need so little product to cover your face, I love it. Its so smooth and creamy, this gives me medium coverage which is what I like. I use this for personal use and I do have a few other shades I use on clients. I have never had any complaints about this product. I have a philosopy, if I wouldn't use it myself, don't use it on a client. I recommend this to so many people so there is no doubt that I love it.

Great foundation, but pricey!

The feel and coverage of this foundation is very smooth and creamy. It is medium-full coverage (depending on how much you apply) and gives a dewy, but not too dewy finish. While you do still need to set with powder (especially if you have oily skin), I could probably get away without it. It blends very easily and looks incredibly natural as long as you don’t over-do it (which could cause it too look cakey). You only need a tiny bit of this (which is good since the tube is so pricey) and the coverage is very build-able. I’ve found that I always need less than I think I do! I’ve also found that this foundation gives such great coverage that I usually don’t need a separate concealer. My color, "beige ivory", is slightly more yellow than I'd like...I may try out Medium Ivory at some point.

Unfortunately, this foundation kind of melts off your face throughout the day. This is usually the case with more moisturizing and creamy foundations. I haven’t tried this with primer or setting spray yet, so using those may help in keeping it on until the end of the day.

I would definitely suggest this foundation if you have the money to splurge on it! If you don’t, however, I feel like there are comparable options out there that are less expensive. Its best for skin that is dry or combination…if you have really really oily skin you will probably find this to be too moisturizing for you. I haven’t decided yet if I would repurchase this when I run out, but its definitely a possibility!

Great coverage!

I really like the coverage of this product. I wore it on my wedding day on top of Benefit's That Gal face primer and it gave the perfect bridal glow! Great for everyday also.

OH HAI, where have you been all my winters?!

Ok, lately I have been on a rampage of changing my foundation. Trying to find the best for my skin in the winter. I normally have super oily skin but lately in my mid twenties I find myself having dry skin in the winter. This means my matte foundations are a no go this holiday season! This is a super creamy formula and goes on effortlessly. I can't believe I have never tried this before. I am in love with how it makes my skin look. Not matte, not overly dewy... just healthy and radiant. Pricey... but worth every penny.

A really great fully coverage foundation!

I just bought mine about two weeks ago and before I started using LMSCF I was using the Nars Sheer Glow which I LOVE!! I actually do really like this foundation, it has amazing coverage. It feels more like a gel/cream rather than a liquid foundation which can be a little more tiresome to blend if you use a MAC 187 brush like I do, but when it does blend it is really nice. I am actually really liking the coverage, but I am not sure if I will repurchase or try a different foundation.

great texture.

It feels great on my skin.. one of the awesome things about this product is that I don't have to use a lot to cover my face. It's feels like i'm not wearing anything. I'm sure it'll last for a while till i have to get a new one. :]
