What you said: "I have been using this for about nine days now and I am regretting my purchase. The color is great and really blends into my skin. But as to the fine lines, I feel it does the exact opposite of what it is supposed to do. It seems to accentuate my lines and I have young-looking skin for my age." -- Bakersdozen, TotalBeauty.com member

I think the maybeline dream liquid mousse is great i was a bit surprised seeing it on here but it worked great for my skin made it look nice with good coverage.

Thank you! I really appreciate this list and will definately be avoiding these products. I currently am using Maybelline Fit Me and I really like it but the shade I bought is a teensy bit dark. I will either re-buy that in a lighter shade but I would rather buy a tinted moisturizer or try something new. I might try mixing it with a sunscreen?

I love Benefit products but, I found "some kind of gorgeous" to be so oily. And the staying power was non existent. =( Oh well...can't win them all

I agree with the Maybelline Mousse one being bad. It really is too thick and very blotchy. The coloring is very weird, too. I like the Cover Girl. Sure it's no high name super foundation, but it's a nice basic one.

majority of these items are drugstore's and wallet friendly so dont really expect a lot out of it ... go for higher ends if you wan better quality with the likes of NARS, MAC, Estee, MuFE etc .. but to be frank I reckon Neutrogena should be more of a tinted moisturiser than a foundation hence the coverage. Rimmel's are pretty okay for me .. but again dont expect excellent result. :)

Very helpful! I never wear foundation but I am going to start and I have no idea what product to start with. Thanks to this article, I will avoid the ones mentioned.
