My Go-To Foundation; Why Don't You Go, Too?
A hard-to-believe but strange story: Years ago I was running late and actually forgot all of the makeup in my tote (I was going to do my face in the car as my husband drove). I refused to go anywhere without makeup, and thus we stopped at a nearby drugstore to pick up "essentials" which would see me through the day. The most difficult decision was foundation. I am fair; a color too light leaves me looking like a ghost. Just one shade darker gives me "the dreaded orange mask." At that time, Olay made cosmetics as well, so I snatched up their "Complete Day Radiance Powder Foundation." It was summer; we were in a hurry and I wanted to do my routine as quickly and easily as possible. I had never used a powder foundation, and this turned out to be one of the best foundations ever made. This "good thing" came to an end when Olay pulled the line. Replacing Olay's jewel (I was actually stopped in the street and asked the reason why I was glowing!) was quite a task. The next best thing? Lancome's "Dual Finish Versatile Powder Makeup." Fifteen years later, I have one in my vanity, another in my purse, and a third in my desk at school. This incredible innovation comes in thirty-two hues, with a range of undertones and intensities (one is certain to match your complexion seamlessly). The completely oil-free formula can be sponged on over clean skin, primer, and/or moisturizer for a flawless, natural look. Coverage is buildable yet weightless--"powder" seems a misnomer here! Dampen a sponge for the full effect and to completely erase any discolorations, blemishes, and even skin's tone perfectly. It is beyond long-wearing, especially over a good primer. Your skin will have a subtle radiance for long hours and take you from the office to a night on the town without the need for a touch-up (you may just want to take a look in the mirror to admire your faultless, impeccable skin). And your face will be soft to the touch. There is no build-up or flaking whatsoever. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that this never leaves the market! — 2 months, 3 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 13 of 13 people said helpful

Great coverage for speedy routine
This product is very similar to Maybelline Pure Stay foundation, except it costs way more. It has a great coverage that can hide redness, blemishes, and even moles. The finish is matte and flawless, a perfected look rather than a natural glowing look. It's convenient because you can use this over your moisturized skin, and presto, you're done! No concealer or bottled foundation necessary. It unnecessarily has a light fragrance, but the compact is very elegant to pull out in public, unlike the PureStay. — 5 years agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 17 of 18 people said helpful

powder perfection
before i switched my makeup routine in preference of a more natural "dewy" look (via tinted moisturizer), i used this powder to achieve a perfect matte look (in lieu of foundation). the coverage was great - not too heavy, just enough to even out my skin tone. long lasting, except on my t-zone. if i need to look extra special (e.g. more made up than usual!), i'll go back to this... — 5 years, 5 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 14 of 14 people said helpful
