"So I am a makeup artist and went to school and received my certificate for makeup. I have tried personally and on others many many way to many foundations. This is by far the best! it looks fantastic on camera, stays put almost all day long even with sweating. This foundation has never broken me and I break out easily. Stay tuned gives you a glow in all the right places and never feel oily or greasy or sticky. Its buildable coverage so if your having a bad skin day it's covered; if your have a good skin day or need extra moisture, add your perfect world moisturizer to it. Seriously amazing it is a must in my kit and for me!"

Foundation for dummies
Date: March 9, 2013
"This foundation couldn't be easier to use and it makes my skin look almost flawless. I hardly ever wear foundations because they look fake or cakey, but this is gorgeous and you don't have to be an makeup artist in order to use it. Don't use your fingers to apply it (as it instructs you to do on the bottle) because this leaves makeup residue all over your fingers. A makeup sponge works perfectly."

Feels like silk
Date: February 24, 2013
"I'm not the type of person who wears foundation every single day because I don't like my skin to feel suffocated. So when I tried this for the first time, it felt very light. The coverage is probably light to medium, which I like even though I do have acne and hyper-pigmentation. It doesn't clog my follicles which is another plus. I wear it with concealer and sometimes a little bit of mineral powder. It's one of my must-have beauty buys."

"Stay Tuned foundation is so far the best I ever used. I have a combination/oil skin, also acne prone. It has a medium to full coverage, the texture is great so you can apply less or more according to what look you want to achieve. Stays fresh the whole day. I really love and definitely will buy again."

"I have used this foundation for many years. It's so perfect, I've never tried any other so I can't compare. Not too thin, not too thick. Does a great job blending out my uneven skin color, and even some of those dark spots. I wear it every day!"

Great foundation
Date: January 16, 2013
"I really like this foundation and have tried so many thru the years. It is good coverage and goes on very even. It also stays throughout the day even on warm days. Definitely recommend especially with all of the different colors. I do wish they would offer samples of colors because ordering online is difficult, but I did get lucky and ended up with a good match."

"goes on silky smooth, evens out my complexion, and lasts all day. What more could a girl want? I have very sensitive skin and this foundation has not irritated it at all. I have used a number of high end cosmetic lines and Origins by far is the best."

Happy with my purchase!
Date: January 3, 2013
"I'm 20 with combination skin and a fair complexion, I wanted a foundation to even the tone of my skin and hide some redness on my cheeks. Although this doesn't give the best coverage, it is still very good--provides a natural look without the chemicals in drug store brands. It also smells great and does not irritate my sensitive skin! I would definitely buy again."

Pretty good, not perfect

Tags: Oily Skin
"I like the consistency of the Stay Tuned Balancing face makeup better than the Plantscription SPF15 which I tried first because I'm over 50 and the Plantscription foundation is marketed as an anti-aging formula. I would like the Stay Tuned foundation better if it had sunscreen in it, like the foundation I used for over 10 years. I switched because I want a foundation that doesn't contain parabens and some of the other chemicals that are often found in cosmetics, which aren't good to have on my face all day. I would like this product much better if the bottle it was packaged in, had a smaller opening. Just a bit smaller so that I'm not shaking too much onto my finger and so that I'm not getting the makeup on my finger and then putting it back in the container due to excess, as that's not hygienic."

Feels light while still providing coverage
Date: October 25, 2012
Tags: oily/combination skin
"This is the best make-up I've ever tried. I bought it, because of the natural ingredients, but it has so many great qualities....feels light and soothing when you apply it...not greasy or watery like most foundations. Although it is light, it still provides great coverage for blemishes. I have very oily skin with frequent acne break-outs, and my face is much less oily and hardly ever breaks out when wearing this makeup. I'll definitely keep buying this product!"

Great Coverage
Date: October 23, 2012
Tags: combination/aging skin
"I loved the light coverage of Nude and Improved and was very disappointed when it was discontinued. The sales person recommended I try the tinted moisturizer, but that is one area where I don't multi-task. I don't want to be using color for moisturizer or doubling up on moisturizer. Considering my 46 year-old combination oily skin, I decided to try stay tuned. The coverage is good and the foundation does not feel heavy. The scent is a little strong and floral for me, but not as intense as some of the other department store brands. After about a month of use, I have come to like this foundation very much."

The BEST foundation I have ever used
Date: October 17, 2012
Tags: coverage, Moisturizing, skin clearing
"Stay Tuned foundation is the best I have ever used. I will never use another kind. It does everything it says it's going to and more. It is so moisturizing and looks great all day long. You don't need very much to have great coverage, and the color selection is fantastic. Every foundation I have ever used has caused me to break out. With Stay Tuned my skin is so clear, I never break out any more. I Love it.
Thanks Origins!! This foundation Rocks!!"

Great Product, wish it had SPF
Date: October 7, 2012
"This foundation is a great middle-ground foundation. Does not have a strong scent, has medium coverage, stays on all day. My only desire would be for it to be upgraded to contain SPF - ideally it would be great to use a moisturizer AND a foundation that both contain SPF."

Yellow eggshells?
Date: September 10, 2012
"I've never seen an eggshell that was yellowish-orange before but that is the color you get when you order "eggshell" stay tuned foundation. I'm pale (not even that pale) and this looks horrible. It felt good though. Too bad."
