Comments about ULTA Color Instincts Foundation:
It's a little thicker than I expected. I thought it would be more like a BB cream but it is a full-on foundation. I still like it though. It looks greasy at first but once it dries, it looks like an airbrushed finish.
The only other complaint is that I have to use makeup remover wipes AND scrub with facewash twice to get it all off. When I use a BB cream instead of the foundation, I can just use one or the other to remove.
Overall good product for a good price.

Comments about ULTA Color Instincts Foundation:
I have been using this foundation for just a few months and I absolutly LOVE it. Great coverage without being too heavy and you can't beat the price especially when they run the Ulta brand buy 2 get 2.

Comments about ULTA Color Instincts Foundation:
I tried this foundation when Ulta had it on sale and was very pleasantly surprised. It's often so difficult to match a foundation to one's skintone. You think they'll work and then they end up too yellow, too dark, or too pale. The Color Instincts somehow reads your pigment and magically is your right color. The finish is a little dewey, but a light finishing powder will take that down. The foundation has moderately good staying power under normal conditions. Even with a primer, I suspect it would "sweat off" in hot or humid weather, but that can happen with the expensive brands, too. I'm tired of spending crazy money on various makeup products and have been very pleased with many items in the Ulta house brand.

Comments about ULTA Color Instincts Foundation:
I use this daily. I liked the previous product very much as it had more color. This one i can't tell I have it on. I only use the moisturizer and no actual makeup so liked the color the old one had. I took one tube back when I opened it and it was that silver color....I thought it was bad. The new one I got was the same so I decided to try it, but don't like it as well as the old product...I used the old product for several years. I don't believe I will buy this one next time.

Comments about ULTA Color Instincts Foundation:
After 3 days my face felt bumpy and stared to break out. Wish I had tried a sample rather than purchase. I did try to ask employees about product, no one knew much about it. They only seem to know about the name brand products,just not including their own
