I use this every day and it's the best foundation I've ever bought. It looks natural, covers flaws, lasts well and isn't heavy at all :) I'd definitely recommend this, and will continue to buy again and again! :)

I Love It So Much!

having used this foundation before, i decided to order it again a few days ago. i used it about a year ago, and it gave me brilliant coverage. i used the ivory shade and it was a PERFECT match to my skin. im still quite young, and have been using liquid foundations, but the problem with them is that they go on perfect, then dry out orange, sometimes with lines all over my face. with this foundation, i found that it gave me flawless look and covered me brilliant. i'm lucky enough to have hardly and spots and dont have oily skin, but i do have blemishes and freckles, which i hate. this foundation really does work! and anyone with oily skin should apply power over the foundation! best foundation ive ever used! i cant wait for it to arrive in the next couple of days NEVER DISCONTINUE THIS AVON!!!

Cream-to-powder foundation IVORY

Im normally a mineral foundation user.. but as i have ran out i decided to try something different.. being a fan of Avon's make-up i decided to order several of these from my representative.. i was quite hesitant as first as i know from the reviews that people thought this was quite dark coloured and oily..
But i have a pale complexion myself and had no problems with the IVORy shade.. was a perfect match to my skin tone.
I thought the presentation and foundation were 10/10 to be fair.. i actually have made this my new primary foundation!! having oily skin myself i found when this turns to powder it actually stopped my shine.
I did have to re apply though throughout the day.. thats why i have given this 4 stars.
OVERALL..Very satisfied customer.. have moved onto this product, do NOT DISCONTINUE AVON!! x

Love this product

I have used this product for many many years, through various changes of packages and I LOVE it. I have tried other brands but none match up to Avons, it gives fantastic coverage of blemishes and keeps my skin looking young and fresh, it dries to a matt finish and therefore I dont need face powder. I change colours during the seasons so that I can looked tanned in the summer, I will not sunbathe as it ages skin and there are other obvious health risks, this product meets all my foundation needs and I would not hesitate to reccommend it every time.

Best yet!

Over the years I have tried many of the Avon foundation/makeup products, but this one is by far the best yet. Easy and quick to apply, a good colour range too. It has a natural appearance, lasts the whole day through and one compact lasts for ages without drying out or changing consistency, therefore good value for money.

i often find liquid foundation feels to heavy for every day use and power foundation often drys out my skin, but since i started using this foundation over 9 month ago i havnt used anything else, it covers amazing no streaks or lines, it dosnt dry out my skin at all and dosnt feel heavy, i wear this every day now and would use anything else on my skins, its also value for money as last a good 2 month of every day using

I use this mainly when I have breakouts of Rosacrea to cover the spots and redness that breakout as you can build up layers and blend it easily.
It is quick and easy to use and sometimes use when I'm in a hurry and don't have time to use foundation and powder.

Very easy to apply - less is more and it gives a lovely warmth to my skin. My skin is fair so I use the nude colour and it is lovely.

This has good coverage - important to me, as I usually use foundation on its own. It also looks and feels good on my skin, although I haven't yet found the most suitable shade. I'll keep buying it when it's on offer, until I find the perfect shade for me.

Not good, well not good for me !

By ruthyx

This product has nice packaging, with a seperate compartment for the sponge. The coverage is quite good and is easy to apply.
BUT I personally would not buy it again. I developed (after only a couple of days use) very sore dry skin patches above my eyebrows, on my chin and above my lip which I never usually suffer from. I do sometimes suffer from spots and this foundation brought them out terriably, which my usual foundation does not.
Think this was just a reaction by MY skin, so although I cant use it again I do think it may be ok for others.

I have problem skin. Prone to blemish's and very oily. I found this foundation amazing. Its light on the face but with full coerage. It hides my inperfections including red spots and large pores. It makes my skin look natural and flawless. Great for day and night!!!
I would recommend this to anyone!

cream to powder foundation

I bought this in the shade ivory which was a good colour-match for me and loved the fact that the product was creamy, easy to blend, portable and quick to apply but as another reviewer pointed out, there's no powder finish whatsoever on oily skin and it did not cover any of my blemishes but I don't think it's a fault with the product, it's just not suited to my skin type. It would be great for someone who doesn't break out with spots and those with a dry/normal skin type.

Overall:
Pleasantly surprised!

I rarely wear foundation or powder but last halloween, needed something as a neutral base for facepainting and more elaborate make up. After much faffing about I found this on offer and picked it in 'nude' and after worrying about whether it would feel too heavy or clog my pores up found myself very pleasantly surprised by how smoothly and evenly it went on. Coverage was very good - my skin tends to dry/sensitive but I had no problems with it at all and no allergic reaction and it removed well too. As a base for facepaints etc it was outstanding and I'll be using it again this time around. Lovely product professionally packaged, it's put my faith back in foundation.

one of my favorite ever i must admit I do think its rather expensive at full price because the anew used to be same price but i dont like their larger box is bit big for a make up bag, but goes on very nice and does not come off quite as quick. I do now buy this as my daily make up and am very satisfied

This product is professionally packaged with everything you need to apply it. It goes on easily and lasts fantastically, giving a great natural look.
