I'm torn about how to review this foundation. It's amazing. Very longlasting and covers almost everything without feeling heavy -- almost like a stain to the skin, while still looking natual. I've never tried a foundation like this one before, and I have yet to find another one like it. However, within one week's use, I developed small under the skin bumps along my chin. I discontinued use, and the bumps went away. So sad! I wanted to like this product so much!! Just because their was a bad reaction with my skin, I feel it's a bit unfair to give it a bad review, because I do believe it's an amazing product. Also, I've heard that many people have skin reactions with MAC foundations, but if your skin can handle it, I'd go for this foundation. I may go back at one time and see if my skin can handle it.

After so much buzz about these products, I caved and bought a starter kit. I couldn't wait to get rid of it! Unless your skin is extremely sensitive and this is the only product you can use, I don't know why anyone with purposely buy this. The coverage is way too light, but when you build it up, if looks horribly drying and caked on. The brushes were a joke and shed everywhere. I didn't like the way it left my skin looking shiny (not oily, just weirdly shimmery) and it looked very overdone. I ended up giving the rest of the set to my sister, and even she didn't like it.

This is definitely one of my top 5 drugstore foundations. I loved the packaging and the pump. The forumation of the foundation however, had microscopic shimmer in it. I'm not sure what the point of that was, but it wasn't noticeable, unless you were in the sun. The coverage is moderate, making this a good everyday foundation. I repurchased once, but that was it. Very much a "meh" foundation, so I continued my search for something better. However, if you budget only allows for drugstore foundations, I would go for this one, as well as Revlon's ColorStay.

This is my go-to foundation when I'm taking photos. Because there's no SPF in the formula, there's zero chance of your face being whitecast when there's flash photography involved. So many things I love about this product, I don't know where to start! I love the amazing range of colors in this line -- it has to be one of the most diverse ranges I've ever seen in a foundation line. The packaging is functional and clean. The foundation has a satin finish, making your skin look natural when it's on. The coverage is moderate, but still buildable. The product does not break me out, which is a plus! I apply with a synthetic buffing brush, and the result is perfect. It's a bit on the pricey side, but I'm willing to splurge on the few products that I can't live without!

I'd had it with tinted moisturizers and was on the hunt for a face product to wear on those lazy days or just to run errands. This is a pretty great alternative to tinted moisturizers. If provides sheer coverage and makes your skin feel like it has nothing on. I apply this with a MAC 109 brush and buff it into my skin. The application is pretty much fullproof and the result gives you just "enough" coverage. Would highly recommend, especially those with combo/oily to oily skin.

I fell for the cute packaging of Benefit again! I loved the sooting camphor smell of this product and the fact that it did not irritate my skin any further, but it didn't abolutely nothing for blemishes. I would definitely not recommend this to anyone.

Returned this product after a week's use. It did abosolutely nothing for my skin. I'm thinking it might be better suited for younger, teenage acne issues.

Didn't work for my occasional spot. If was extremely gentle, and maybe that's why. Based on the great ingredients, I really wanted this product to work, but unfortunatlely it didn't.

I gave this product a good month of use before I gave up. At 25, I was dealing with increasing breakouts and looking for a miracle product. This product has some amazing ingredients, I but I didn't find that it helped to significantly reduce my acne. It smelled horrible, but was not drying when I applied to my face. Acne products are so fickle in the sense that what works for one person may not work for another. I heard amazing things about this proudct and was sad that it didn't work for me. If you're interested, I encourage you to get a sample first.

I've always dealt with the occasionaly spot here and there, but in my mid-twenties, it seemed to get worse. I turned to Kate Somerville products, expensive, but some of the best in the industry. This little bottle saved my life! It won't make a pimple disappear overnight, but it will dramatically reduce it's size and help shorten the healing time. Sulfur has been my saving grace ingredient to fight acne, and this product has one of the highest concentrations available. This product is best suited for those who get an occassional spot or two, and not for those with servere full-faced acne.
