Worth trying

I tried and i do like it but i have super oily skin and live in So Cal.. It is good but i have used better. If your skin is not too oily i think it would be great. Great coverage and finish, but it just does not last through the day. I would wear it on a non work day though to help make my good stuff last longer

Surprised

I was expecting this to feel cakey and oily. But when I wore it, I was pleasantly surprised. The texture was very nice and it offered great coverage.

Really not much to like...

I thought it would be interesting to try out a mousse type foundation so I purchased this for only nine dollars. As it turns out, it wasn't even worth half that much. Upon opening the pot, I observed that it was way too orange for pretty much anyone. I decided to put it on anyways just for the heck of it, and regretted it. It made my oily spots break out and my dry spots noticeably flaky. When I t...read moreried to wash it off my hands, the water beaded up and it was hard to remove even with makeup remover. The only thing that was good about it was the packaging, which was very sturdy and fit easily into my makeup bag.

Dig it :)

I really like this stuff...it goes on light and has a good matte effect, and isn't heavy or greasy. I wish it stayed put longer, cuz I get shiny after several hours, but overall this is a good product.

A good drugstore option

This foundation has some pros and cons. The coverage is very build-able; you can use a little bit for a sheer look, or layer more on if you have more to cover, and it's not cakey-looking (yay!). It also wears well thru the day without getting shiny. A downside is that it can be drying so I would only recommend it to people with oily skin. I've also heard of its reputation to cause breakouts. I hav...read moreen't experienced this, but for those who haven't tried it, it would probably be a good idea to keep the receipt in case it does.

Mixed

I wasn't a huge fan of this, but didn't hate it either. It made my skin look very smooth and was easy to apply and blend, but none of their colors matched me. They're all too orange. I don't know if I should fault the products performance for their color selection, but I am. Also, the product fell out of the pan into the lid before I even used it. It doesn't seem hygienic the way it is packaged. I...read more probably would have used up the product, and maybe loved it if any of them matched but they all ended up in the trash. The time I did have it on though it seemed to get shiny quickly.

Part nightmare, part dream

I had been considering this "mousse" for awhile since I've always used liquid formulas. Being that I was also trying new stuff in other areas of my life, why not a new makeup? I had also read that "whipped" or mousse formulas are good for "older" skin as it is light and will smooth texture as well. Well, ladies with dry skin: BEWARE!!! Even with exfoliating and/or...read more using various types of moisturizer, this formula will exaggerate the TINIEST bit of dry skin! Like other members, I had a hard time picking the right shade. It looks a lot different on the color chart, in the jar, on the label, and in the store lighting. First I got a shade at least two shades too dark for me. Fortunately, the Rite Aid reluctantly took it back. Right shade second time, but this formula does not last long, "breaks up" or "cakes" before the day is over! Rubs off easily too. On the dream side, it covers my freckles, brown spots, and discoloration like a concealer, maybe better. BUT it settles into EVERY tiny line, every pore! Makes my skin look drier and older than it already is! A little goes a VERY long way, as I only use 1/4 of what I would use for a liquid, and it is still "too much" in that it tells the world, "I'm wearing makeup." I don't like to LOOK like I'm wearing makeup, just like I have great skin. I'm going to try to make it work with another moisturizer I haven't yet tried, since I don't feel like returning it again. If that doesn't work, I will use it as a concealer over spots, but not over my whole face! It looks light textured in the jar, but it feels thicker when I put it on! Since it comes in a tiny jar, I should be able to use it up. I gave it a 5 cause it works for some people, like any product. But this is NOT for dry skin or women over 30, I guess! Unless you have few flaws, and normal or slightly oily skin, I would not recommend trying this!

I Like The Concept...

I expected to enjoy the 'mousse' texture, but I ended up hating it instead. It felt weird on the skin and was difficult to blend. Did not look good on my face and felt unnatural.

mattifying intense full coverage

this product will make you look like a doll...it is super full coverage. i like to blend with my fingers and find it goes on more smoothly than liquid and stays up, but it is only good for the parts of my face that have marks (cheek/jaw area), when i use it everywhere it is too stark and i look too pale. it has silicone, i don't think that's known as super irritating, it does not bother me. the pa...read morelest color might be almost a touch too pale, which is unusual for me even though i always buy the lightest shade -- so super pale ladies, this might be something to try.

Best Foundation I've ever used

This is the best foundation I've ever purchased! I have oily skin around my T zone and this leaves my face looking matte all day long. It feels super light on the skin and you can build up for coverage. A must buy for everyone!!
