No. 13: Joppa Minerals Full Coverage Foundation, $16

Rating: 8.5
Why it's great:"I cannot say enough good things about this product. I had always shied away from foundation because it never stayed on my oily skin and the oil always caused it to change colors. Not so with this foundation. It has helped clear up most of my acne, so much so that people are now asking me how I maintain my 'flawless' skin ..." -- coinma, TotalBeauty.com member

No. 12: Bare Escentuals i.d. bareMinerals 2-piece Powder Foundation & Brush w/SPF 15, $47

Rating: 8.8
Why it's great: "I was very skeptical but after reading about it in numerous magazines I tried it for myself and absolutely LOVE it. The infomercials are no lie. After switching from a chemical-filled foundation to a natural product such as [this], my skin is less oily, rarely breaks out and the redness is gone. I love the way it covers without the look of makeup." -- fueysers, TotalBeauty.com member

No. 11: Pur Minerals 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup/Foundation, $24.50

Rating: 8.8
Why it's great: "I was impressed with Pur because the color was true to their descriptions and the ease of applying and the time saved was incredible. It truly is a great concealer as I have spider veins, pimples and this does a much better job than Bare Escentuals ... Great value and lasts throughout the day." -- Tracey777, TotalBeauty.com member

No. 10: Jane Iredale PureMatte Finish Powder, $36

Rating: 8.9
Why it's great: "I am not a youngster but not quite an oldster either and finishing powders have always alluded me. This is an excellent product and does not cake or turn color. It finishes, just what it is intended to do, and lasts for a long time. The color is true and is gentle to your skin ..." -- Judieb, TotalBeauty.com member
