    Streaky and Oxidized..

    I'm usually not one to leave a review but this had to be the exception. this went on quite smoothly and was easy to blend into my skin. It has very light coverage, which I, personally, don't have a problem with because my skin is pretty clear. I have oily skin and this stayed matte without a primer or powder....however I always ended up with a streak of foundation on my jawline that was never there when I first applied the makeup. Also, after 2-3 hours, this oxidized terribly on me. If it wasn't for the oxidation and the streaky-ness, this would be great... To bad the drugstore doesn't have a return policy on foundations.... — 1 month, 1 week ago

    Streaky!!!

    This foundation is horrible... It left my face looking like a orange zebra! At first it actually looked ok.. that was until till i looked at myself in the sun... It doesn't blend well at all and after it dried it turned an orange-brownish color... almost making my face look like it was dirty or dingy... not to mention it didn't keep my face looking matte at ALL! After about an hour my face was shining like a disco ball! I definitely won't be using this product EVER again! — 11 months, 3 weeks ago

    AWFUL

    I'll start with the one positive: it did a half decent job of keeping shine at bay. Now the negatives: didn't keep shine at bay for long enough (4hours max), coverage was rubbish and didn't hide blemishes, Colour is weird, I picked the lightest shade yet it was still too dark - I felt slightly orange. The texture is sticky and it doesn't blend in, I was nearly late for work as I spent so much time blending!! I suffer with bad skin and it felt like it clogged my pores and also emphasized dry skin.... think that's it. It's just a general cheap and nasty foundation, I'm now going to invest in decent make-up AFTER a consultation at a counter and spend that bit extra so my face looks better. — 1 year, 1 month ago

    Horrible!

    It gave me an unnatural finish and color. I have oily skin, and it didnt take long for my face to be oily. But you get what you pay for. — 1 year, 6 months ago

    Orange

    As in the color it turned my face. That alone is a reason to avoid this product. I will say though, it did keep my face reasonably matte. Considering that at the time I was waiting tables in a Mexican restaurant (where the grease abounds) it held up pretty well, especially for the price. Thats the only reason it gets five stars. However, I would still skip it, the fact that it oxidized so quickly is just isn't worth the bargain. — 2 years ago

    don't buy it!!

    I tried it when I was still new in the makeup world and I hated it. there aren't so much colors, takes time to dry and it last 2/3 hrs, if you use primer then 5/6, no more than that. its cheap, yeah, but it doesn't worth it. — 2 years, 2 months ago

    Not very good

    I recently bought this foundation and i really don't like it. It is very hard to blend and it has a very light coverage. It also didn't leave my face matte like it states it does. I definately wouldn't purchase this foundation again. — 3 years, 6 months ago

    So Dissapointed

    I'm an oil slick, so drugstore, makeup counter, you name it, I've tried it. Sadly, I spent money on this with high hopes. I know other people rave, but for me, I was oily within an hour. Befre you think I'm a teen, I'm forty five and about desperate. Nothing makes me matte for more than a little while and I'm dead tired of it. I'm still seeking my HG in makeup base. Stay Matte, was not it. — 3 years, 6 months ago

    Great for the price!

    I have fairly oily skin and was looking for a good foundation to get me through the summer. This foundation provides moderate coverage (it evens out my skin tone but any major blemishes will still need concealer) and doesn't seem to budge during the day. Best of all, I do find that it tends not to get as oily during the day as other (more expensive!) foundations that I've tried. Goes on a bit thick but can be blended easily with a damp sponge. — 3 years, 9 months ago
