Pretty Good Coverage

Its more of a concealer type foundation, doesnt actually feel very heavy but its rather thick so one layer is enough for medium coverage. Cant say how long it lasts because I never even kept it on. Washed it straight off after applying it, because the only problem I had was that it clings to dry skin. I dont actually have dry skin, but had a few spots where the skin was a little broken and this just highlighted the problem more than disguising it. BUT, I still think its a nice foundation as on clear skin it would look very natural and control T-Zone oil. But definently not for dryer areas of skin.

fantastic product

I have never used a foundation product on my face before so I was unsure whether it would look too 'heavy' especially for work, but I was so surprised, it was easy to apply, looked really natural,and gave great coverage, (even over the odd spot and blemish!) It lasts for most of the day, (but it is easy to reapply around the chin etc if needed to) The only drawback is that it leaves my skin looking very greasy and shiny which is disappointing, so I don't wear for work as I had planned to, but wear when I go out shopping etc. I am fair to medium skin and I ordered natural beige....perfect match, even when I am tanned! Anyway great product that I will be buying again and would definitely be recommending to friends!!

Has its uses ...

This make up is perfect for those times when you really don't want to have to put make up on, but kinda 'need' to, as it goes on so well and so quickly. I can do it in about half the time it usually takes me to put foundation on.
I have problem skin and this gives me great coverage, however it disappears after about 2-3 hours and can leave your skin feeling a little oily (which does sort of contradict the Cream-to-Powder part of this product description). I try to combat this by applying loose powder too.
I wouldn't wear this on a night out, or to work, but for going to the cinema, or to a friend's house, this is great. It's also handy to keep in your bag for those emergency touch-ups I sometimes need.

More like a conceler

Tried this- more like a conceler. Too dry for my skin if I use all over and makes me look fake. I have combination skin, and this isnt right for me, Brilliant as a conceler though because you only need it on a few areas you want to touchup e.g. under and around the eyes just before the rest of eye makeup.

Best Foundation Ever!

I have spent years trying to find a good foundation and i have finally found it. My skin is quite fair but the natural beige is perfect for my skin. Also if i have had a spray tan, i still apply the foundation and it looks great. It lasts for ages, i dont need to re-apply throught the day and it doesnt smudge! I would totally reccomend this product to Everyone!!!!! Well done Avon!

Didn't like at all :(

I do have problems finding a foundation to suit me but this is one of the worst i've tried. It highlighted my dry patches and the IVory shade looked very unnatural on my uber pale skin. I also found it quite difficult to blend. Like I say, I do have problems with foundation but I still wouldn't be recommending this to anyone.

Great Foundation

I'm very pleased with this foundation. I was a bit apprehensive as to how I'd get on applying it, but I needn't have been because it went on very well and evenly and it felt very good too.
It is a nice foundation to achieve even coverage and once finished making myself up it looked good too.
Would buy again

I have been using this for 8 years and would die if they discontinued it. I have used it since the days it came in a cream rectangular compact, may have been called something slightly different and shades had different names but it is the same product. I find the natural beige gives me a nice hint of colour and medium beige for when I am more tanned. It is perfect for everyday wear and evening. This is the only foundation I use, I like how it is a cream and dries like a powder. The compact is smart and handy size and it's very easy to apply. Takes a matter of minutes.

Recieved today, i was supposed to get the magix tinted from clearance, but they sent me this instead, must be out of it, minimised the look of my pores, looks seamless, feels really soft on skin, i didnt think it would be this good. im glad they where out of magix!

This is a really great foundation! Light and simple to use with the sponge provided. Nicely presented in the black case with mirror in the lid and compartment for the sponge under the makeup. I have just ordered 2 more so I don`t run out!!

Not a fan....

This provided good coverage but it completely dried out my skin and left a nasty rash - which wasn't very attractive and took weeks of intensive moisturising for it to calm down! I've never had problems with any other founation before. This is perhaps suited to someone with oily skin, but beware if not...

After hundreds of pounds spent on foundations I finally found the perfect foundation. This is excellent and I havent used any thing else for 3 years. It has great coverage and looks so natural, everyone always complement me on my skin and ask what I use. But I also always use a bit of loose powder on top of it.
