This is my go-to foundation. I've tried almost every foundation on the market. Chanel, prescriptives, Estee Lauder, almay, clinique, shiseido, etc, etc. Something is always off (the stay power, coverage, breaking out, price). But this foundation has done it all. It last for more than 4 hours, it does not break down on my face, it does not break me out, it is not too expensive, it is perfect. The coverage is between medium and full (depending on if you layer it) and the finish is matte. For a drugstore foundation, it's really high quality. Although I wish it came with a pump, I got the hang of getting the foundation out. It's a really nice foundation and I recommend any woman should wear it. There's a formula for dry/normal and combination/oily so that's also very convenient.

I had high hopes for this foundation. I have combination skin, but my t-zone gets VERY oily. The lady at sephora told me it was oil free, etc. I was tuck between the HD foundation and the Mat Velvet. I chose this one because the finish looked flawless. It is probably the foundation at sephora that gives the most coverage. But it feels natural. It feels and looks SO good when I first put it on. I was in love with it. Fast forward couple hours, and my t-zone looks like a grease pit. I used blotting paper, but all my makeup seemed to have melted off. I paid about 42 dollars (plus tax) and I was just highly disappointed. I prefer my revlon colorstay over this.

I was a little skeptical about using this because I have combination skin that is breakout prone. But...let me tell you. This cleanser will change the way you think about cleansing. It's revolutionary in the fact that you use actual oil to cleanse your face but it really works! I first put the cleanser on without any lathering or water and i just rub it on my face to get rid of my foundation and whatever else I have on. And then, I add water which turns this cleanser into a milky substance and continue rubbing my face. Afterwrads, I pat my face dry and voila! My skin is clean without being overdried, no trace of makeup remains (i went over my face with toner to make sure) and I just feel happy. It's perfect.

I know that dermatologists say that you're supposed to wait about 8-10 weeks before you should make any judgement about a skincare product.....but I'm so excited! This moisturizer has really made a difference. It's lightweight and it balances out perfectly for my combination skin. My nose and forehead area(tzone) gets really oily but my cheeks are normal. Not dry, but not oily. I was skeptical to try a natural product since I always thought that natural things wouldn't work on your skin, but this is perfect. Its natural and it works! I think the price isn't bad compared to other moisturizers and really, it's worth every bit of your money. You don't need a lot either so it will last you a while :)

I am a makeup junkie. It's as simple as that. And, with my peculiar skin, I have tried A LOT of products; cleansers, toners, moisturizers, spot treatments, exfoliators masks, foundations, creams, serums to name a few. And As mentioned, I have used a ton of foundations and this one really seems to stick out. Before this, I was using the MAC studio tech and it just didn't look natural on my skin so I was on a quest to find a more natural looking foundation, and I found it! This foundation is true about everything they say. Non acnegenic, dermatologist tested, long lasting, oil free. I have combination/acne prone skin and this seems to be perfect for it. Its coverage is layerable so you can control how much coverage you want, but it seems to make my skin look even and glowing. It has 18 different shades you can choose from so there's no concern about color matching. Also, it really does last me a while. I put this on in the morning and when I'm back home in the evening, it's there. Didn't budge. No touchups needed. It's the perfect foundation and I recommend it to anyone who needs a holy grail foundation. The price is reasonable to. I payed $35.75 (tax included) and it seems like it will last me a while. Plus, with all the pros that comes along with it, I'd say, definitely worth it!

It's a good foundation brush. It blends my cream and liquid foundations perfectly and it's nowhere near as expensive as Clinique or MAC. It was worth the money. I'd be lost without this brush.

I love this stuff! It makes my skin look beautiful and it does an awesome job at keeping it healthy and hydrated. It removes ALL my make up and is OH SO GENTLE! My only problem is the price. I wish I could afford to buy it over and over again, but it's too pricey. It's a nice product but constantly buying it will leave a strain on my wallet. :(

I like this moisturizer. It does its job. Obviously, but it's good for my acne prone skin due to it being non-comodogenic. My dermatologist recommended it to me and I really like it. It keeps my skin hydrated without making it too greasy. My acne is kept at bay and there's no harsh chemicals or parabens. My only concern is that sometimes, it makes my skin greasy. I haven't figured out when or why, but for the most part I love this stuff. It's easy on the wallet and good for your skin.

Well I'll start off with this. I have horrible skin. I am very prone to breakouts, especially on my forehead and they don't go away for forever. Let me tell you, at one point, I went on a rampage looking for different products to make my skin more normal. From Kinerase to Philosophy to Dermalogica to Cosmedicine to clinique, I learned it's not always about the high brand products. I found Cetaphil, which my recommended for me, and I love it! It does everything that those cleansers did, at a cheaper price and keeps my oils away. But I think people have to remember it's an cleanser, not an acne regimen. What's important to remember though, is instead of blasting away acne with harsh products, make a consistent skin regimen and your skin will accommodate within 3-10 weeks. What this product does is it washes away all the surface oil and cleans my skin really well. When I wake up in the morning, my t-zones not in a grease pit! I love this! Definitely would recommend it to everyone. Especially with combination to oily skin. Also, the price is easy on your wallet!
