I have mature, somewhat sensitive, skin and this product works wonderfully for me. I am not sure if it is oil-free, but it does not leave and oily feeling to my face...and that can happen with other foundations in the hot, steamy summers of the Ohio Valley.

answer 4

the creaminess seems like it would be okay on sensitive skin. It's not oil absorbing and I have oily skin. I found using only a tiny bit works best.

My experence with this product is apply sparingly. A little bit goes a long way. It works well with the ceramic skin smoother. I suggest you sample both the skin smoother and the no foundation. Remember to apply lightly. You can always dust a little face powder if it's too sheer for your liking.

Will this actually look like I have some make up on, and does it blend well on all skin tones? I am pale with rosacea, worried about covering that up.

I used it on myself (35 yrs old, fair skin) my mother (63 yrs old, medium skin) and my mother in law (70 yrs old, medium olive skin) and it amazed me. I think the key was that we each applied LIGHTLY. And at 50 bucks, I think it is worth it to use less! :)

You would use this like any other foundation - after washing and any other treatment(s) or (light) moisturizer. I do use it all over my face and I use a sponge to apply. It is a liquid foundation. Hope this helps.

No it will not cover acne. I use the foundation and then either use Kat Von D's tattoo concealer, Bare Minerals Bisque or both if i need a lot of coverage.

My take on this is the No Foundation Foundation is so light weight and sheer it would have a hard time covering the acne.

I think it would be better used over a tinted moisturizer if you were going to combine the two. However, I think that this would be the next step up in coverage from a tinted moisturizer anyway. If you needed both, you might be better off going with a normal moisturizer and foundation.

Question

How do I apply No Foundation Foundation?

What is the best way to apply this? Am I supposed to treat this as a foundation and use a sponge? Or is this more like a moisturizer and can be spread with my fingertips? Thanks!

You can use this as a tinted moisturizer and just apply it with your fingertips. It's great because you can wear it alone or with a foundation on top, but so that it doesn't look too heavy I'd highly recommend the Bare Minerals powder foundation or just the Mineral Veil. It's hard to go wrong with the No Foundation Foundation, however you apply it.

It contains DMAE, which is a biochemical found naturally in fish like sardines and anchovies. However, it does not smell like fish. Trust me, I would never put something on my face that smells like fish. The smell is odd, but it goes away quickly.

You should be able to use this product with no problem because it really adapts to most skin tones. I made my mom use it and she said it improved her skin tone and appearance as well and she's in her late 50's. My skin is darker than hers and we both use the same bottle of this product, so I hope it works as well for you as it does for us!

I'm a fair-skinned white girl, and I did wonder if any of my African-American friends could use this too... I think if you're interested in it, try it on at the store, it does seem like it is a light enough formula that it would adjust, but I can't say if that's true if your skin tone is really dark. If it doesn't work for you, Perricone should make a few more shades!
