It does not give a full coverage but NATURAL smooth looking face. Considering I used to have a lot of breakouts, with mineral foundation, my face settled down. I strongly recommend this product to women who want to look naturally smooth velvety skin! I have tried Body Shops’s mineral foundation and it’s great!

I don't think they are mineral foundations, and to be honest the whole "adjusting to your skintone" sounds like a marketing scheme to me. There used to be a product of gel blush that was said to adjust to your natural blush color, however there were reviews online where some people just applied it to a piece of paper, and it just changed into some default pink color. So, these "self adjusting" colors just seem to adjust to some color that would look different on different skin tones, but are basically the same color. I guess you can try them out but the "create your own" sounds like it would work more than the self-adjusting formula. And yes, I guess since she's the face of Revlon, it doesn't really matter that she's advertising two different foundations! Normally that won't be "allowed" but I guess it's the same company so nobody really minds :P Let me know on what you find! Hey Laura,

(Anyone notice Jessica Alba advertising both a foundation YOU custom mix/create & one that's supposed to adjust itself?) How are they working out? I remember when they came out with the self-adjusting lip-sticks & what interesting novelty colors they turned (not real flattering)...

I will look into them ... but I have two pots to finish first so after that :P Hey Laura. I'm sorry to hear about your bad experience with mineral makeup! That itch you feel is from the ingredient bismuth, and I had the exact same time - so try to avoid makeup with that ingredient. There are many more mineral makeup without that ingredient, like Pure Luxe, The Body Shop Nature's Minerals, and many organic lines. Just remember to check the ingredients list. However, if you don't like the way it emphasizes on wrinkles, you can switch to a liquid alternative. I haven't tried so many of them, but here are some products that I've tried that you might be interested in looking at: - http://www.beautyfool.net/laura-mercier-tinted-moisturizer-oil-free-review/ - http://www.beautyfool.net/aubrey-organics-silken-earth-translucent-base-makeup-review/ - http://www.beautyfool.net/the-body-shop-natures-minerals-foundation-review/ I hope I helped, and good luck! :) jam – Thanks!

I blamed myself for what now seems to be a simple case of product falling far below hype. I found it had the "beginnings of itch" - more like a sensation of extra tiny pins pricking. I blamed it on the brush (or how I used it) - now I know better. I also found it emphasized the tiny lines on my 45 y/o face. Finally, I kind of felt there was something a little off about the color or maybe how it laid on my face - couldn't put my finger on it so I dismissed it. Suffice it to say that the itch & wrinkle emphasis was enough to keep it from being the revelation promised & reason to apply foundation rather than forsake it. Now where can I learn about the foundations that are supposed to "self-adjust" to your skin tone??? I bought the L’Oreal Bare Naturale despite balking at what I paid for it.

I wrote about bismuth above, how I tried a powder from a friend who uses Bare Escentuals - yikes! My face went insane with itchiness! So I definitely try to avoid anything with Bismuth - I hear it's because of the climate (it's very hot here). I'm sorry the Body Shop didn't work for you! I thought it was alright, did the job well but I don't think I'll be repurchasing - I've been trying an organic brand that I really love the past two weeks, am gonna write a review up soon, look out for it :D Hey jam, glad you’re back! :)
