I heard a lot of great things about this foundation, and was disappointed it didn't work as well for me.  A little bit about my skin type: I am very oily and have texture, and I look for foundations that are medium to full coverage, matte, and long lasting.

Pros: I like that it comes in a pump, it is so much easier to apply.  The fragrance is nice, but that is something to consider if you are sensitive to smells.  The coverage is medium to full, and the consistency is a little thick if you like that in a foundation.

Cons: Milani's shade range is a little too yellow for my skin tone (I have neutral undertones), so I have to mix this foundation if I ever want to wear it.  When I wore this foundation alone, it settled into my pores and emphasized my texture.  My face also became oily after 4+ hours, so it is not as long lasting as I need my foundations to be.  Lastly, since it is a thick foundation, it can look cakey if you apply too much.

I will still continue to wear this foundation if I am running a few errands or mixing it in with other foundations that I like (Revlon Colorstay or Loreal Infallible Pro-Matte), but I won't be repurchasing.

This product doesn’t have a ton of claims but I went into trying this product with very high expectations from how many influencers were raving about it. And I absolutely hated it. After I purchased this foundation I heard that this was a dupe for the Clinique foundation (read my review to see how I felt about that) and that should have been my first indicator I was going to hate this foundation. The color originally was okay but it oxidized on me very badly and looked orangey. The consistency is very thick and my face felt like it had a ton of makeup. It blends out okay but it takes so long to dry and even with powder on I felt like my face was still kind of sticky. By the end of the day my face was a wreck. My chin and T-Zone were so oily and gross I looked like I was sweating. I have combo skin but never ever has my skin been that oily in those places. I truly think this suffocated my skin. Even after the first application I wanted to give this product the benefit of the doubt (it’s so cheap!) so I tried it a few more times and that was all I could do. The same thing happened every time and my skin began to break out horribly. MAYBE this product MIGHT be good for people with dry skin but I would not not recommend this for anyone with combo or oily skin unless you want people to double take over the sun reflecting off your greasy mug.

I heard such wonderful things about this foundation. I'm always looking for a matte, full coverage drugstore option, so I hurried to my local Walgreens to try this stuff out...and I have a few issues with it!

The packaging itself is very nice - it comes with a pump which is a huge plus in my book. The formula is THICK, and it does dry down quickly which can make it difficult to apply. Even when applied with a damp beauty sponge, the thickness of the formula can tend to make skin look cakey if you aren't careful.

This foundation is definitely full coverage, and has a matte finish. It did emphasize the texture of my skin, which I'm not a fan of. After being set with powder and setting spray, this foundation stayed matte for about 5 hours before I had to re-powder, so it didn't last as long as I would like it to.

Because of the way it showcased the texture of my skin, this stuff is unfortunately a pass for me. It showed promise, but I think the formula is just too thick for someone with any skin imperfections. 

I just bought this foundation yesterday after seeing the hype over the past couple of months. First off, the packaging is really nice. I love that it is a pump and the bottle is of very nice quality. I bought it at our local CVS. It is the only place locally that sells Milani and I have been searching everywhere for it. My go to foundations in the past couple of months have been Revlon Color Stay and Maybelline Super Stay. I was able to easily find shades for my skin tone. I have a lot of redness on my cheeks and nose. I have combo skin, but it is very dry right now during this winter. My skin tone is light and I usually wear 150 Buff in Revlon and 110 Porcelain in Maybelline. I bought Creamy Vanilla thinking that it would be a good tone for me. It is a little too dark for my skin and it seems to oxidize a little. Summer is coming up so I'm hoping that once my skin sees a little day light, I'll be able to use the foundation, but if I am too impatient I may go switch the colors to the lightest one. It doesn't seem to drying or oily. I do not use concealer every day so I do like that it covers the redness. 

This is a super underrated drugstore company in my opinion! I’ve always been a huge fan of their lipsticks, lipglosses and lip liners but just recently bought this foundation to try out (For reference before this I was using L’Oréal Paris true match!) After trying the Milani Conceal about two months ago I made the switch and it is now my fave drug store foundation ever! I do find this to be very full coverage, but was also able to mix it with my moisturizer in order to have a lighter coverage on days I don’t really feel like wearing a full face and I like having the option for both. I even find that I don’t need to use a concealer with this, the coverage really is that good! I do find my t-zone getting a little dewy after about 7 hours of wear (pretty normal for me since I have combination skin) but then I use blotting papers and I am good as new! With my older foundation I’d be oily in about 3-4 hours so I do feel this has a better coverage and formula for my specific skin needs. I definitely recommend this if you’re looking for an affordable full coverage foundation!

A beauty friend from Instagram recommended this to me, so I thought I'd give it a try. The coverage is unbelievable. If you've seen the it cosmetics infomercial where she takes her foundation off, that's how I picture this one. If you have redness or other issues that you need a good coverage for, this has it! It's claim is that one pump gives just how much you need. It does! I didn't believe it the first time I saw the small amount that came out, so I added two more pumps. I was drenched in foundation! It blends out so well and has such great coverage that it really doesn't take much. The pump dispenser is great, and it doesn't really have any kind of a scent. If you're looking for great coverage, I definitely recommend giving this one a try!

So Milani is my absolute favorite drugstore brand and all the hype around this foundation—released RIGHT after Shape Tape, by the way—had me excited. I went to the store and got the lightest shade—Always the closest match I’m going to get—and........ I mean you guys. It was like 5 shades too dark. Gave it to my friend and bought the lightest shade when they increased the range. Friend and I agree (I’m oily combo and she’s dry): the foundation covers beautifully and the texture is amazing, especially for fine lines. It doesn’t crease! Fabulous! BUT. It isn’t long wearing like what we are used to even from other drugstore brands (our drugstore fave foundation is covergirl), and for me, it does not play well with the other products I’ve used—namely well-tested primers and powders that I’ve tested for longevity, no orange oxidation, getting me through literally anything, etc. the foundation doesn’t like any of the primers and powders that I’ve tried! Milani, I love you, but I’m sorry.... you kinda struck out on me with this one.

I had a fellow social media beauty friend recommend this to me because she knows I'm all about finding affordable makeup that rivals high-end products. I love it. Regardless of the type of coverage you're going for, this foundation will work for you. A small bit gives great coverage while looking more natural, or you can use more or build on it (amazingly I might add) for some of the best coverage out there. It absolutely DOES conceal, but I still use a separate concealer that's lighter to brighten up certain areas of my face. Another thing that I really love about this foundation is that it has a pump to dispense product, so no mess, and it lasts all day easily. I highly recommend picking this up and giving it a try.

Go to drugstore foundation at the moment. Good coverage without having to use any other products. Without using any other products it last about 4 hours. With using a concealer and setting spray it will last about 8 hours depending on what you are doing.

For how it feels on your skin. I have combination skin sometimes certain parts are oily, sometimes certain parts are dry and sometimes certain parts are normal. One time I was experiencing a day where my skin was a little oily probably from whatever moisturizer I use under it that day, but I experience oil seeping through the foundation. And this was on a day where I didn't use anything else but solely the foundation. On my dry and normal days I have had no problems.

If you're looking for a FULL coverage foundation that's affordable and comes in a good shade range, then this is the product for you! In all honestly, this isn't my favorite foundation, like at all. It has very nice coverage, like it can almost completely cover my sins. No but seriously, it has almost complete coverage that concealer almost isn't necessary. A little definitely goes a long way. I was actually able to find a shade that matches my skin and my undertones. I personally think, however, I think that this foundation is kinda heavy and makes my face looks kinda cakey. No matter how much or how little I put on, it always makes my pores look big and sink into my laugh lines. I've tried it with different powders and settings sprays because I really wanted to like it, but I never could get it to look nice on my skin. I mix a little of it with my BB cream to give it a little more coverage and it looks fine like that, but I don't think I'll be wearing this by itself again.
