Great Foundation
I am not a foundation person to begin with, so when a foundation wows me, it wows me! I love this foundation. It doesn't make my face feel greasy. It lasts well and really does help my skin look more radiant. I also love the color choices and it blends well.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 5 people said helpful

What a surprise!
I have been using Clinique foundation, and have no real desire to sway from that; however, I had almost a full tube of my "Summer" Clinique foundation, and was not about to spend $23+ on a Fall/Winter foundation again. The reviews on this were so good that I had to give it a try! Sadly, I think that marlamambo went a little "overboard" with her review; it may be part of the "True Match" family, bu...read moret it is its own product. I ended up buying in Sand Beige which is SO close to what I get in my Clinique version. My skin tends to be Combo/Dry in the Fall/Winter and Combo/Oily in the Summer. This foundation provides just enough moisture and makes my skin look like SKIN; not a mask, but healthy. The pigments that create the luminosity are basically invisible; I couldn't even really see them. I expected there to be some mica in the makeup, but if there is, it is incredible subtle so no worries that you will look "glittery." Any makeup that provides "luminosity" is not going to be oil free completely; luminosity is just a fancy word for moisture, but this is non-comedogenic, so no breakouts. It didn't cause my skin to be greasy or have an oily appearance. I was surprised at how "runny" the formula seems to be; however, it did give me coverage. If you have acne, scars, multi-tonal skin, etc. you may want to use a heavier or thicker base. This was exactly what I was looking for!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 7 of 9 people said helpful

Lumi
This is a light to medium coverage foundation with a dewy finish. I would recommend this product for someone with drier skin as this will give a pretty, hydrated look as is forgiving on dry patches. If you're looking for a matte finish, this is not the make-up for you. It goes on smoothly, blends easily, and it doesn't feel like you're wearing anything. You can build it up to a medium coverage but...read more any more than that and it can start to look cakey. It's not long wearing at all though. I know I have oily skin and all, but even with a primer and a setting powder this foundation starts to fade away in about 5-6 hours. I think it wouldn't fade away so quickly when applied to dry skin though. Because it is a dewy finish, if you have oily skin you'll find yourself needing your oil blotters to make sure you don't go from looking dewy to oil slick-ish.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
