Since Max Factor stopped doing their Ultra Moist foundation I have been searching high and low for a foundation to suit me. Although my skin isn't particularly dry, I still like to use a lot of moisturiser before putting foundation on to avoid the "I'm wearing foundation" look. I tried tinted moisturisers because I like the light feel but they didn't really offer much cover just a sort of healthy glow. Almay skin stays clean foundation is the best i have found on my search. In fact i'd say it was actually better than the Max Factor Ultra Moist which left a very matt finish. The Almay foundation is light enough to feel like you arn't ...  Read the complete review

I used this Always foundation for a couple of years, stocked up on it when it was discontinued and so far haven't been able to find another foundation as good. The foundation comes in a simple see-through glass 'jar' with a screw-on lid. The mouth of the jar is wide, so you can easily pour out as much of the product as needed. The back of the jar reads: "Clear Pore Compex helps keep pores clean". The foundation is in liquid form and is hypo-allergenic and oil-free. It smells a bit different than most, not bad, but it has a distinctive non-girly smell, that seems to have a hint of liquorice or peppermint or something with a bit of kick to ...  Read the complete review

I have been using this foundation for almost a year now and I will never look back. My skin is a strange organ -- it likes to break out from all kinds of different things...FOUNDATIONS being one of them. But Almay Skin Stays Clean is the *only* foundation that has never made my face erupt into a pimply hell. It contains salicylic acid which helps gently exfoliate your skin and is oil-free, too. Since first buying from Walgreens in the U.S. last summer, I have purchased 2 other colours -- All of Almays foundations are yellow based (rather than the usual pink) because this is supposedly meant to mimic the natural tones of the skin better. My first was Sand which ...  Read the complete review

I bought Almay's "Skin Stays Clean" foundation about a week ago. The reason being that my skin has been playing up on me recently, and although i use and love Elizabeth Arden's flawless finish mousse, it just hasn't been giving me enough coverage lately. So i was looking for a non-comedogenic foundation to keep my pores from clogging up while i was wearing it. I also wasn't looking for an expensive foundation, as i hope this bout of bad skin will pass within the next week. Available at Boots, and costing a very reasonable £8.99, i hoped it might be the answer to my problems. And in a way, it has been ok for me. I can't expect ...  Read the complete review

Having tried loads of different foundations, I have to say that this surpasses all of them. It is a little pricey at £10 a bottle, and also extremely difficult to get hold of. You dont often see it in boots, and its a real shame. Anyhow, you can pick up a bottle on ebay for around a tenner, but i must say it is worth it. The foundation comes in loads of shades, i initially started on the buff, but its very light and i like neutral or sand as its a little more colour. What i love most about this foundation is the feel, its easy to apply, and the feel is cold on your skin, it never really feels like you are wearing foundation which is also ...  Read the complete review
