I actually like it

I know there are a lot of bad reviews on this but I really like this foundation. I have combination to dry skin and this works really well for me. It doesn't get oily too quickly when powdered and it doesn't accentuate my dry spots. The coverage is pretty sheer though. I have acne scarring and blemishes and I have to build the foundation with thin layers in order to cover them. However, it covers the redness of my skin really well. I'm very pale and if there's any type of redness on my face it is easily seen. With this foundation that is easily covered.

I love the application as well. I have applied this with my fingers and it looks really good. I have used a sponge and it looks good. I have used a brush and it looks good. Unless you don't blend and apply too much there's no way to make it look bad.

The texture is great too. It's very creamy and it feels great whenever I'm applying it. It's very light too. Sometimes I forget I'm wearing foundation when I wear this. Overall I was pleasantly surprised. I will definitely keep using this.

I only wish that it lasted longer. I use this on days that I know that I will only be out for a few hours. If I have to be out all day then I use a different foundation.

Amazing mascara!

This is my all time favorite mascara now. I have short lashes, but this mascara made them look soo long! I absolutely love it. I have a very busy weekly schedule so my mascara is usually on from about 6 am to 10 pm and it doesn't budge. I have other mascaras that I would wear all day and there would be black smudges under my lower lashes. This hasn't done that and I've been using it for at least 6 months now. It doesn't flake either. It's also very hard to get clumpy lashes with this mascara. I have applied it quite heavily to get a more dramatic look and it still looked great. I didn't get spider lashes, spiky lashes, clumped lashes, or mascara flakes. It looked great. It feels like you have nothing on your lashes. This is my mascara HG (holy grail). I will continue to repurchase as long as Cover Girl makes it.

Wasn't as good as I was expecting

I was really disappointed with this product. I used my lipstain once and then it dried up. I put the cap on right after I used it too. It also dried out my lips a lot which I was expecting but they became so dry they cracked and bled a little bit. I also wouldn't recommend this for people who may have some dry skin on their lips because this will emphasize how dry it is. This was a miss for me but if you have great lips that are never chapped or flaking then this will probably work great for you.

A great concealer for me

I really like concealer. I use this as a regular concealer as well as an under eye concealer. I think it works great for both. It brightens under the eyes and eliminates dark circles. It covers the redness on my cheeks and around my nose. It covers up acne scarring and blemishes.

The color I chose works really well for me. It matches perfectly on my skin and helps make my dark circles blend into the rest of my skin tone.

I know a lot of people don't like the packaging, but I like it. The sponge works really well for me. The only thing that I wish were different is that there was a way to detach the sponge and clean it without ruining the product.

The only other complaint that I have is that the product is really small. It does go a long way but there isn't much in there. When you first twist the bottom to start the product the first twist sends the product 1/4 of the way up.

Not for me...

I bought this powder because I read a lot of good reviews. Well I regret buying it. It just didn't work for me. I have combination skin. I get very oily on my nose and then on the outer parts of my face it gets really dry. Well this powder did not keep the oil at bay and it accentuated my dry spots. Even when I applied lightly to the outer parts of my face and increased the amount toward the center it did the same thing. I think it made me break out too. I had been using the same foundation and powder for years before i decided to try a new powder. My breakouts were under control until I switched my powder. So I think I'll go back to my old powder.

It's not for me

I decided to try this foundation because I'm very pale and it's difficult for me to find a good color match. I was so excited when I saw that the True match foundation line had 21 shades. I knew there had to be one for me in there. Well there was! I was extremely excited about that. Porcelain W1 is a perfect match for me skin tone. That I was very excited about. However, the coverage is terrible. I wear foundation to cover up acne scars and redness. It covered the redness a little bit but you could still see it. It did nothing for the dark acne scars that I have. I probably will not repurchase this because of the terrible coverage. If L'oreal came out with a more medium coverage version of it I would definitely try it again. So, to sum everything up this foundation had a great color selection but the coverage was terrible. If you have pretty good skin then this would be great for you. If you have any type of scarring or acne then this product will not help you at all.

I recently decided to give this another try. I put it on at around 10 in the morning. I used a powder on it because without one the skin looks quite shiny. Within an hour or two my face was shiny again. After a little bit longer my face felt like a total oil slick. I don't believe that I will reach for this foundation ever again.

The worst thing I have ever tried

I was really excited about trying this product. I have acne prone skin and I was told that this was a good foundation that wouldn't irritate or cause new blemishes. I didn't break out because of it which I liked. That was the only thing that I liked about it though. This foundation had the shortest wear time of any makeup that I have ever tried. I applied it at around 9 am while getting ready for class and by 10 am It was completely gone. It rubbed off on my clothes and stained them. It oxidized on my face and turned orange. The coverage was terrible. I had to use a ton just to get a sheer coverage. I also have some squint lines around my eyes and this product emphasized these. I will not ever purchase this product again.

They're ok

These are ok in my opinion. They're super pigmented which is great. They can be sheered out too if you apply to the center of your lips and then blend out. I don't like the taste at all. They taste a little like chemicals to me. They also smell very bad to me too. I'm very sensitive to scents when it comes to lip products so it may not be an issue for some people. The texture of these I'm not a huge fan of. They are very smooth if the color doesn't contain glitter but if they do they're a little gritty. After wearing these for a while they feel kind of greasy to me. I continue to use these because I love the colors of them.

It's just sitting in my makeup drawer

I bought this because I was a sucker for the texture and I love Emma stone... I shouldn't have wasted $13. It's soooo sparkly. I put it on in my room and it looked ok. It had ver light coverage and I could see a little shimmer in it. I took my mirror and went outside into the sunlight and I looked like a vampire from Twilight. It also made my pores stand out on my nose and cheeks. And if you have any type of dry patches on your skin do NOT even think about this foundation. This showed me patches on my face that I thought were perfectly moisturized before I applied it... I wanted to like this soo bad. But it's just not very good in my opinion.

Doesn't deserve one star in my opinion

I bought this for those days when I go to the pool and want to look presentable with the minimal makeup I have on. I tried it once and then I decided that I'm just not going to wear any mascara to the pool. It's thick and clumpy and it stains everywhere. If you get this on your lid it's staying there for several days. I also had an allergic reaction to it. I put it on one day and then my eyes started to itch and they turned red and they were watering and it lasted until this wore off. I definitely do NOT recommend this product.
