Nice finish if used correctly
Review of Elizabeth Arden Colour Face Flawless Finish Sponge On Make-Up, Porcelain Beige by
oxoxallyoxox
Advantages: Suits fair (ish) skin, lasts for ages, compact with large mirror
Disadvantages: Can be dry putting on, can be patchy
This is a nice foundation and it is quite a reasonable price too. It does offer a flawless finish , however it doesnt last too long. I have some scars on my cheek from a particularly bad outbreak of spots I had about a year ago. The scars are red and very noticable. When I apply this foundation I cant see the scars but it only last about 4 hours so I have to carry it around with me which is fine because it comes in a nice little case with a large ... ...didnt have to reapply it all...
The foundation can be pretty dry putting it on - so its best to have a bit of moisturiser on your face so that it will just glide on otherwise it can look patchy on your face.
Another thing i found is if you dont use an exfoliating face wash this foundation tends to stick to any bits of dry skin you have on your face. But if exfoliate the finish looks nice and even. ...

Philosophy The Supernatural airbrushed canvas
Review of Philosophy The Supernatural Mineral Makeup by
Andreacass
Advantages: Beautiful Flawless Coverage, Airbrushed Skin, Application simple and really quick to use!
Disadvantages: Sponge can come off and then be messy, Price is quite high
After purchasing this in Natural i put a little on the back of my hand and straight away thought it looked too dark for me.
I was all set to return it when i decided to try it once more, so i went all out and spread it over my whole face.
It took a while for the powder to come up from the sponge at first but i think that's normal.. but after a few swipes the powder started coming out and boy was i suprised!!
This product is magnificent!!! It covered ... ...really airbrushed and perfect!
The sponge applicator makes it an absolute doddle to apply! and it only takes seconds! I usually only have 5-7 minutes to apply makeup before work and was always late! Now with this it is SO quick! Takes literally 2 minutes!
It gives my face a really nice glow and stays throughout my 8 hour shift in mostly humid conditions!
I used to have to reapply throughout work, when i wear this I don't need to apply ANY powder ...

Review of Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation
Review of Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation by
x-Kayweee-x
Advantages: creates a perfect airbrushed look
Disadvantages: can slide off unless a base foundation is applied
I love this foundation!! I usually use a liquid foundation underneath as i find this particular foundation can 'slide off' throughout the day, but i find that it gives you a perfect airbrushed look to your skin and a younger healthier looking glow. Another good thing about this product is that it lasts for a long time and doesn't break the bank. I only have to buy a new one every couple of months, and thats with me wearing it every single day, sometimes ... ...i want to impress. If i could find a foundation that had all these properties without the fact that it doesn't stay on, it would be perfect. Its not good if you are a particularly active person because of this but if not it gives a perfect matte finish and leaves your skin with a healthy subtle glow without looking oily or shiny at all. ...

Best foundation I've ever used
Review of Max Factor Facefinity Compact by
ruthstewart
Advantages: Covers really well and lasts all day
Disadvantages: Can be a bit crumbly half way through
I have been using foundation for 26 years and this is the best one I've found. Really quick and easy to apply, it covers blemishes really well and lasts all day. Sometimes my face would get a bit shiny but a quick rub over with the sponge again and it's as good as new. The only drawback is that when it is half used, the middle section breaks off and crumbles which can leave a bit of a mess in your bag/on your clothes. You need to scape the middle ...

nothing compares
Review of Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat (Radiant Touch) by
Jemma100
Advantages: brilliant brilliant briiliant
Disadvantages: price, but it does last a long time
If i had to leave the house with only one item of make on my face this would be it! in fact if i had to rescue one thing from a burning building ....maybe thats going a touch too far! but seriously this product is amazing. One of my friends put me on to it and iv never looked back. I have tried some of the cheaper imitation product on the market, such as the body shop one, and the Virgin Vie product with similar claims but really nothing compares. ... ...eyes and for me this really is a miracle I really do love it. The light reflecting particles in the creme reflect light (funnily enough!) and make the appearance of dark circles appear reduced. the pen action is easy to use and despenses just the right amount of product for each eye, perfect!
The biggest problem for me is the price, but i now have my boyfriend buying me one at christmas and one for my birthday in June, these last me all year so ...
