Aveda Dual Base Minus Oil

Pros: Great coverage and finish, cute packaging, no breakouts
Cons: A very limited color selection

I've tried a number of powder foundations since discovering MAC StudioFix a few years ago. I love their ease of application, one step for busy mornings, and how well they work for my oily skin. MAC StudioFix is probably the best known powder but I find...

Pros: Great coverage, long lasting, easy to apply, and ecologically friendly
Cons: Price, small color selection

I am a twenty-five year old mother of one who wakes up at the last possible moment to dress for work in the morning. My requirements for make-up are simple: something easy to apply that looks like I took forever! I've tried a variety of products, from c ...

Pros: Clean finish, not to heavy, great coverage for covering up scars & acne.
Cons: Oily skin tens to make the powder cake up in the compact.

I love the performance of this product. It goes on smooth, doesnt irritate sensative skin (which I have) and great for anyone trying to conceal scars, acne, or ance scars. (yes I have all of the above.) It will cover these up without having to cake on ...

Pros: Amazing shine control!
Cons: Comes in a clear plastic container. Stylish holder sold separately.

This is the best powder ever! It goes on very lightly, and does not look cakey on my face. It offers great shine control. But it also hides minor blemishes so well that I almost do not need to wear a liquid concealer underneath.

Pros: easy to apply, smooth, good coverage, the best ever.
Cons: does not last "that" long (but what products last for a long time?).

Cons: Expensive, does not come w/compact

I have tried lost of brands of foundation and this one is the BEST! It is a powder form and comes with a sponge applicator. It goes on evenly and is easy to apply. It is virtually weightless once applied. Although there are few color selections, I...

Pros: Protects from sun damage.
Cons: Too thick, too pasty, too heavy. Creates a fake-looking mask on one's face.

I was coerced into buying the Aveda Inner Light Dual Foundation SPF 12 two days before my sister's wedding, at which I was Matron of Honor, by an overzealous employee at Adolf Biecker salon in Philadelphia and her enthusiastic colleagues. She told me how ...

Pros: Looks very nice and they don't test on animals.
Cons: Allergic reaction (hmm. maybe they should do more testing on HUMANS!)

Up until this week, the only allergy that I knew I had of any kind was to fresh mangoes, but the dual base minus oil sets my skin on FIRE. It turned red and I have a burning sensation everywhere it was applied by the woman at the store. I liked the way it looked and bought some but, needless to say, I will be returning it along with all the other products I bought today.
