Great shade range, great for sensitive skin
I am paler than most and so I often struggle with finding a foundation that is actually my shade and not just 'the lightest shade this brand carries'. I have tried both luxury and drugstore brands for this: Fenty, Urban Decay, Covergirl, NYX, and so on. This foundation is the first I've found that not only is actually pale enough for my skin, but also has a shade that MATCHES MY UNDERTONES! A lot of paler foundations will have an ivory shade that just has really intense red or yellow undertones- this line features a foundation that is ivory-pale but also accounts for my cool undertones (my face is very blush pink in the light, but I don't burn easily- I bought shade C0.5 Fair Ivory) Upon looking deeper into the brand I realized that they also have very nice deep shades, so for my more melanated sisters...there's hope! Let's talk about skin, though. I have very sensitive, oily skin. A lot of makeup makes me break out, or absorb too hard into the skin and end up looking very cakey and dry, or even sometimes just straight up smear on the skin instead of creating a nice blurred/airbrushed look. I have very textured skin because of large pores, and sometimes my skin does not take foundation well even if I use a primer first to cover up the pores around my cheeks and nose. With this foundation, there was none of that. I washed my face and moisturized as usual, allowed about twenty to thirty minutes for my skin to absorb any product and dry, and applied the foundation right away with a damp beauty sponge- nothing crazy, nothing out of the ordinary. When I tell you that my skin looked FLAWLESS, I really mean it. I almost cried. And on top of that, it works very well with blush and setting powders if you really want a glowing look, so there's no worry about different products wiping the foundation off or making it look washed out. This product was up to the task in every way. I was able to wear it for the entire duration of my nine-hour shift and the worst thing to happen was that the creases under my eyes started looking a little rough (but really, when don't they look rough?). I highly recommend this to anyone who wants low-maintenance makeup that you can just slap on and GO. I also highly recommend this to anyone who isn't very experienced with makeup, and anyone who wants a good, reliable product without a crazy price.

A tried and true winner
Been using this makeup for several years, and hope they don't change it or discontinue it. Is very light on the skin, but gives a subtle evenness to the skin. Never causes irritation. Has some SPF protection. A very good product for a natural look.

Great coverage
It is light but covers evenly, it is not dry or oily. It is great quality and the color is a true match. I have been using the same product for years.

Medium Coverage, Dewy Natural Finish
Acts like moisturizer, primer and foundation all in one quick and easy application. A lifesaver on days when I'm running late. After smoothing on with the built-in sponge applicator you can use your fingers or a brush or sponge to blend. Because it has a dewy finish I like to set it with a very light dusting of translucent powder and a fluffy brush. I have used this for years, this is my third or forth bottle. I do have other foundations and a cc cream that I also use, depending on the occasion, but this is a wonderful everyday foundation. It does not settle into lines or make me look old like some foundations can do. I'm 66 so that is important to me, I want any foundation to make me look better, not worse. Pairs well with the matching Maybelline Magic Eraser cover cream.

Exactly what I wanted!
This is an excellent moisturizing makeup. Matched my skin tone. Keeps my face feeling soft. Lasts all day. Covers my blemishes. Heartily recommend.

Lightweight and buildable
It doesn't sink into my skin or crease, and it is very light. Blends well, but takes a bit of building for even light spots. But does a fantastic overall job.

Good product, horrible shipping
I've used this product for many years and it's great - but beware buying it from here. My product was shipped with the cap screwed on crooked, and arrived with product leaked all over it. Not only is the bottle not completely full anymore, but it was an absolute mess with foundation all over the place. I've had to go several rounds with hand soap and dish soap trying to clean the bottle enough to handle it without getting foundation all over my hands, but it's in all the grooves of the neck of the bottle and cap and just keeps spreading all over everything.

Encantada
¡Al fin encontré mi tono perfecto! La mayoría de las marcas de bases de maquillaje no manejan subtonos neutros, solo fríos o cálidos, por lo que tenía que comprar 2 bases (una fría y una cálida) para mezclarlas y a ver si daba a mi tono. Por eso estoy encantada con esta base, ya que se funde perfecto a mi tono de piel y no se nota para nada que estoy usando maquillaje. Mi piel es seca-mixta y siento que esta base me la humecta, además es muy ligera por lo que no se siente para nada. Se ve muy natural. Y para la temporada de invierno, solo me hace falta comprobar si el tono N1 también me hace match igual de bonito que este que uso ahora en verano.

Muy buen producto
Esta base me gustó mucho, se unifica al color natural de mi piel, la textura es muy ligera, parece que no cubre mucho pero cubre manchas, enrojecimientos e imperfecciones leves. No deja sensación grasosa en piel, a mi me encató y lo volveré mi base de ahora en adelante.

Excellent coverage and easy to use
Bought this first in the USA and it worked great. Difference is that in the USA it comes with a security seal on the cap but here it's missing. Work the same so assume it's genuine
