Not the Holy Grail of Foundation for Oily Skin, May 14, 2008
This review is from: Sue Devitt Triple C-weed - Great Sandy Desert (Misc.)
Okay ladies - I have been in search of the Holy Grail Foundation and Pressed Powder for years and I finally decided to take a break from powdered mineral makeup as my face just wasn't responding to it anymore. So I searched and searched online and after the many reviews I read about this product and thought that I would give it a try.
The consistency is good, but it didn't go on my face well, even after trying several different approaches 1) Put a light moisturizer on first - didn't blend well 2) Put on Stila "Clean Slate" first, still didn't blend well 3) Put on nothing beforehand - yep, you guessed it, stil did not blend well.
I have extrememly oily skin and I'm not exactly light skin, but not a definite Medium either. It was my opinion that the Sandy color would be perfect. Noooo, I was way off. I think the small swatches of color are too light on this website. The color I received, which was correct, would be great if it were the middle of summer and I had a great tan.
I decided to not let the color be a factor, I would just use it sparingly. Well, then the whole not blending predicament foiled my plan.
Had I sent the product back and received the right shade for my face, would my opinion be different? NO and I'll further bore you....after I attempted to get this to blend, then tried the powder and my normal eye, lip, cheek routine, I usually leave the house within 5 minutes of completing this task and begin my 20 minute commute. Oh my gosh, by the time I got to work, my face was an oil slick.
I think this product would do well on someone with normal skin, but I can't reccomend it for anyone with extremely oily skin.
Another downside...it's a tad pricey.
I took a chance two weeks ago on Revlon Colorstay for Oily Skin. I think my search is over....well, at least until my skin decides it doesn't want me using this product again. That will happen one day after I go out and purchase a new bottle of it, you'll see!!

i have problem skin - it works good for me, December 6, 2008
I have been using this foundaiton for about 2 years now. It does have some issues going on but for my skin that is the least of my problems, besides I have found that if I apply it and then let dry and then lightly go over my face with a clean facial brush, it gets rid of the streaking that occurs when you apply it. Due to acne problems and sensitive skin I cannot use most of the foundations out there (not to mention hair sprays, perfumes etc...) This foundation works good for me because it tones down the red in my skin (I use Tanami) and it does not cause me to break out. I also have a sensitivity to titanium dioxide, and most other foundtions contain that in fairly large amounts.

Excellent product line!, March 28, 2011
I am totally hooked on this makeup and skin care line. Since I've started using Sue Devitt I can't go back to anything else. I live in the desert so my skin gets really dry, with this makeup my skin stays hydrated all day. I've turned countless women on to this product and they all agree...once you go Devitt, you never go back.
