Don't buy it.

I sold mark and Avon products for a brief period of time, and tried out many, many of their products. I really wanted to like their products, especially their foundations, because they were inexpensive to purchase as an “Avon lady”, but I can't say that they're better than drugstore foundations. First of all, there's the inconvenience of having to order them, and not being able to see the foun...read moredation in real life and swatch it, which I personally find to be a major draw back—you can't just run to the store or mall and pick some up! But even putting that concern aside, I still can't justify repurchasing this product. THE PACKAGING: It looks cool, and it's VERY sturdy on the outside. However, it's incredibly bulky. The cap takes up over half of the packaging, which is a huge waste. I don't like the applicator, because using it directly on your skin potentially contaminates the liquid foundation, and could make it go bad faster than a pump applicator would, or a squeeze tube. The sponge doesn't seem to be of very good quality, and not attached very well. On top of that, the round spongey applicator doesn't do a very good job of actually applying product to your skin. After you dab some onto your face, I needed to use a foundation brush or a standard makeup sponge to actually spread the foundation evenly. THE COLORS: The colors all tend to run a bit orange. It was hard to match my skin color to the swatches in the catalogue—it seems like they ran a bit dark. THE WEAR: This foundation just has an average length of wear. I have very oily skin, and this foundation didn't do much to help control oil, so I ended up looking shiny after a few hours. THE COVERAGE: I would say this foundation has light-medium coverage. OVERALL: To be honest, I threw away this foundation before I'd even used a quarter of it. It just wasn't worth it.

Worst foundation ever

The applicator is horrible. It's definitely contaminating every time you apply it on your face and then put the applicator back in the jar. Yuk!

Flawless Coverage

I just got my order in yesterday, and I tried this foundation immediately. I don't need to put on much because I find that it covers my face very well. Though it has a sponge applicator, I like to spread the product with my fingers to ensure a smooth, even finish. I was afraid that the make-up would clog my pores or leave my skin shiny, but it felt only weightless and required minimal mattifying after several hours. I have no qualms with this product.

Terrible!!

I've never been a big foundation girl, so when I was reading the reviews I decided to try it. Within two days of receiving the product, the sponge applicator fell off and to access the sponge I was pulling it out with a safety pin. The coverage was also terrible; I was also using a tinted moisturizer in order to get the coverage I wanted.

Flimsy packaging

I ordered this light foundation because I remembered reading somewhere that it was incredibly easy to apply, but I think I only used it once before the applicator broke. The color of the makeup was nice and the coverage was light and natural, but I can't get past the poor packaging. The makeup is packaged with an applicator sponge built into the cap, and the flimsy sponge started detaching itself ...read moreand falling out of the cap almost instantaneously ... It's pretty much impossible to get the foundation out of the bottle now that the applicator is broken, so this definitely wasn't money well spent. I'd recommend that you save yourself the money and bother and just stick to old fashioned foam wedges and your standby foundation.

Nice texture, bad design

I like the texture of the face expert, but the design doesn't allow for much product to come out. Plus, it isn't very sanitary to keep using the same sponge.

Not so great.

I thought I found the perfect foundation for my skin. For my face some spots are dry and when the foundation dries on my face it creates patches of make up. Not worth buyin

Feels so light on the skin

This is def one of my favs! Other concealers feel so heavy. This is definitly the opposite! And it really helps with my imperfections. I love how it matches real well with my skin. You cant even tell I have make up on. Which is something I love. I mean isnt that what a good foundation should do? I would highly recommend this to other people!
