General Comments on this product:

liquid foundation, it gives a great coverage, but it doesn't look very natural on me. tis foundation is great to cover some upcoming breakouts for example, and also for redness in my face, but this also gves me breakouts, so I guess I'll stick to my BE foundation

Comments- This was something I really had to work hard to blend... and it was a pretty full cover foundation and I'm not usually into that. I was hoping a little goes along way... but since it's so thick it makes it harder to blend... if you get a color that matches your skin perfectly then it's great. I didn't have any breakouts.. but it's a little heavier on the skin than I would hope. Packaging got a 4 because it's a glass bottle and being as careless as I am it broke all over my make up bag so I had to throw out a lot of nice stuff that was just too yucky to try to clean off.

Comments: I've never worn much foundation before (my skin is pretty clear so I've relied on tinted moisturiser) but I bought this on a whim in W3 Nude Beige and it's a great match. It goes on matte and very smooth, though it is best for someone looking for full coverage because it does go on quite thick. I didn't get any breakouts with it, but I'm giving it a 4 because it's too matte and too much coverage for my young skin.

This is the best foundation I've ever used. It blends perfectly with my skin, has great coverage and keeps my face looking matte all day. It hasn't made me break out & looks flawless when used with the true match powder. I use a foundation brush to blend and a little goes a long way (for me, atleast)

I love this liquid foundation! I have to say this is one of the best foundations Ive ever used. I love how you can buy it at Walmart and stuff! I love this!!! I found it very easy to blend, and it stayed nice the whole day! I just wish it had a little more coverage.

Haha The Concealer I think sucks though! I got the one to match my foudation, and its way too light. My foundation was W8, and the concealer said W6-7-8 so I dont know how that worked.

This is actually my first foundation to use. I really wanted something that was light coverage, even a sheer coverage would work. This happened to work well for me, but I know there must be something better for me. It covered well, but didn't have any staying power. It was a matte/dewy finish on me. I give it 3 stars, only because it wasn't really bad, but I know there must be better.

Worst 9 bucks I ever spent. This is the perfect colour for me but it makes my skin SUPER oily and clogs my pores so bad that in the past month my cystic acne has flared up about 5 times whitch is terrible considering I used to get them only once or twice a year. This foundation also separated on my skin after about 2 hours and looked blotchy, something that I've noticed with other SPF foundations also...

I'm extremely fair. So much so that, most companies do not make colors light enough for my skin. I was excited when I saw that True Match got as close as it did. That was.. until I used it. It makes my skin look very spotted, no matter how many times I redid it. Not natural et al.

I've never had this problem with any other foundation.

As a member of the ultra pale community .. this foundation works well. I have a pinkish tint to my skin and the Natural Ivory (C2) is PERFECT for my skin tone. Covers fairly well, not a full coverage foundation for me. Has SPF17 and has NOT made my skin breakout.

I got this today, in my hunt for a foundation to match my newly self-tanned face and body. It's a close match, and let me just say I LOVE the smooth, silky matte finish. Blendability is great, I used a wedge sponge to apply. The coverage is medium to full, depending on how much you build it up. I love it in that it doesn't accentuate pores, fine lines or flakies. My blush also applied like a dream atop this foundation! I may or may not repurchase this, as I like to try new products. But it would definitely be a good buy.

I like this foundation because it perfectly matches my skin tone (W1 in the winter, W2 in the summer). However, while it covers well it's way too heavy for me to wear in the summer. It kind of separates from my skin after a few hours in the heat and takes on a weird gritty and oily texture. So gross. In the winter I have no problems with it at all.

I have oily acne prone skin. this went on smooth and matched well but my store didn't have the shade I needed so I mixed two. after an hour it makes my skin look really oily. really really oily all over. I looked a lil like plastic and it makes me look like I'm sweating. for me it's better if I use it during winter.

Would you buy this product again? Yes.

I've been using this foundation for years and haven't tried many others, but I still love it. After I build it up a bit it gives great coverage for me, and W1 is a perfect match for my ultra pale skin. It does not make me break out, thankfully, because I have very sensitive skin. However, it is that reason that I am too afraid to switch foundations, otherwise I would because I find that this product wipes off my face really easily. I wish I could find a good foundation very similar to this one that will stay PUT, but I am not eager to try any others because I am not fond of breakouts whatsoever. So I will probably be buying this over and over again forever and ever. ;P Ehh, no biggie I guess, I always have powder. All in all a pretty darn good foundation. Oh, and I kind of wish the bottle wasn't glass, because I get the dropsies often.

Would you buy this product again? Possibly. Only if I can't find something better by the time this bottle runs out.

General Comments: The bottle is glass, which can be obnoxious if you have butter fingers. Also, I feel that it is hard to control the amount of foundation that comes out at a time. I seem to get way more coming out then I need even if I'm super gentle about it.

Uncomfortable to wear in the summer. It tends becomes runny and makes my skin look oily, even hours afer applied.

There are a lot of annoying things about this product, however the colour matches my (deathly) pale skin better than any other full coverage foundation I have tried. That alone is enough to keep me using it, in the winter atleast.
