Did anyone have problems with break outs with this product?
Currently I use anywhere between NC 30 to NC 40. What would be a good match?

i bought this a few weeks ago and HATED it. i should have expected that since its not really made for me (super oily, bumpy, breakout prone skin but i just needed to TRY it) so the shimmer-ness just made me look more shiny and a few hours in i almost looked WET. i tried it with powder over and still wasn't impressed. i definitely plan on returning it and getting colorstay (in the oily formula) which i love.

That's quite a large range. I would say try anything in the "beige" line. I think they have a few such as natural beige, medium beige, and golden beige

I have this and I'm not the biggest fan. I have sensitive skin and it dried me out.

I bought golden beige (08) and medium beige (06)...both are quite similar but golden beige is a touch lighter than medium beige. You can mix both together if you are between shades.
I did break out once when I first used the foundation, but after sticking it out for a few weeks, my skin did not react anymore. That's normal for me when I try out a new liquid foundation, anyway.
I personally think that one should not use more than a pump for the whole face. (I've got a HUGE face too and it's enough) This truly is a light to medium coverage foundation and you don't want to "build up the glow" by using too much product on your face.
If you have combo or dry skin, you cannot get away with this foundation without moisturizing first!!!

I picked this up yesterday after hearing good things. I applied it last night, it looked horrible (which is surprising after Colorstay's good application). So I gave it a shot today again, and it's just not a good coverage for me. It covers the redness but any zits or bumpy skin is totally emphasized. I'm so disappointed, I think I will exchange it for Revlon's Colorstay mineral foundation- that is, if Walgreen's takes exchanges on used product?

awesome thank you for your advice..normally when i break out, sometimes I stop using the foundation right away to avoid further break out.
Do you use any of the colorstay foundation? What color do you use?

I've been wearing PR for a few months now and I'm loving it. I know the color I'm using, Shell 003, isn't an exact match to my skin but it's pretty darn close. I'm thinking of buying the next shade up and mixing the 2 together. Colorstay Combination/Oily makes my t-zone oily/shiny but I don't have this problem with PR. It's fairly sheer coverage but build-able. I hope Revlon doesn't mess with the formula for this one.

Are you girls using a sponge or a stippling brush for this foundation?

I just can't get over the sparkles in this! And in the powder! I hate it when they put that in bronzers, all-over face powders, etc., much less my foundation =/
