No.7
Prescriptives Virtual Skin Super-Natural Finish, $32.50
TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 9.2
Why it's great: "Being blessed/cursed with a fairly active T-zone, finding a foundation that will give me a matte finish (especially on my nose) without looking thick and cakey is always a goal. I've been using this product for at least five years, and still love it. It gives you coverage, even for those of us with larger pores, but doesn't look heavy. For the areas that need a little more coverage, you can layer a little more. Correct color matching is key. Make sure you get the Prescriptives person to help you choose, and even go outside to double-check the shade before buying. Once you have your shade, you are set." -- sthrelk, TotalBeauty.com member

MAC Studio Fix, $26
TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 9.2
Why it's great: "I love my Studio Fix. I actually don't enjoy SPF built into my makeup, so I really love that this doesn't have it. I have really sensitive skin, and I've never had any breakout problems with it. [There is] such a great selection of colors, and while it does seem to be a bit heavy at times, it's easy to use less or more depending on how much coverage you want. Great stuff!" -- ohsotragical, TotalBeauty.com member

Bobbi Brown Moisture Rich Foundation SPF 15, $42
TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 9.3
Why it's great: "I have very, very light skin and have finally found a foundation that comes in a color that matches my coloring perfectly, is sheer and leaves a dewy complexion without looking like a mask. It's also the first foundation I have found that is so light I don't want to scrub my face immediately after coming home from a long day at the office." -- keykey1031, TotalBeauty.com member
No.4
CoverGirl Advanced Radiance Restorative Cream Foundation, $10.99
TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 9.4
Why it's great: "The CoverGirl foundation with the Olay formula does indeed help reduce lines and reinvigorate skin. I have been using it for about six months and notice a lessening of dry/age lines under my eyes and around my mouth. I wouldn't have believed the ads on this but I do believe my mirror." -- kaseyj, TotalBeauty.com member
