I have used this foundation for several years. I discovered it when my previous foundation company discontinued my particular shade. Occasionally I will switch to another product, but I always come back to this. It provides the best coverage, staying power, and color match for my combination skin. My skin actually looks better after using it. The coverage is so good I don't even need concealer. It does need to be applied rather quickly as once it dries in about 60 seconds it is set...for the day. I love not having to reapply, even in the summer heat. Unlike many foundations with good coverage, Merle Norman lasting foundation actually feels light. Not heave at all. I highly recommend it. The color choices are nice and unlike most foundations there are several that work for different skin tones. Don't think of Merle Norman as "your mother/grandmother's make-up. They really do make a great product.

I don't like paying the price for this, but it is by far the best foundation I have ever used. It covers my acne scars well. It last lasts all day even with my oily skin and the humid weather here in the South. The tube does last me for several months. I use the powder and some of their other products as well, but the foundation is their best product, in my opinion.

I have been wearing Merle Norman foundation my entire makeup wearing life.  I have tried other brands, but I always go back to Merle Norman.  I loathe going to the Mall to buy it, I do wish you could order it online.  Having said that, I do go to the mall to get it because I need it.  It covers well and goves me a polished look.  it is the one costly item that I have never given up - ever.

I've experiemented with several foundations over the years and none would last long on my oily skin.  Then I found Merle Norman's lasting foundation and I've never used anything else since.  This foundation wears all day and there is no heavy feel to it at all though it covers very well.  The cost my seem a bit high initially, but the tube lasts forever!  A great buy.  If you have oily skin, go to Merle Norman and ask for the foundation in the black tube- you will never regret it!

Love it! I used another product for years and years and just didnt feel like I was getting the coverage I needed. My Aunt told me about this and said to go in and get a free make over. I LOVED it. You have to use very little and it goes a long way. It stays on all day!

This is the best long lasting foundation on the market right now.  It's especially good if you live in hot humid climates and need something that isn't going to run down your face the minute you step outside.

I am an acne suffer!  It has been hard for me to find a foundation that doesn't break my oily skin out or cause a rash.  I was introuduce to Merle Norman Lasting  Foundation about 7 years ago and I have been using it ever since.  It helps to control my oily skin, doesn't break my face out and last all day long.  My face feels smooth.  I have never felt that I am caked with makeup!  Some times in the summer months I have to apply extra powder to my "T" area but overall the makeup last all day long.  It cleans off your face very well too.  I use this foundation with Ultra powder. The Combo is great!  The only con that I have is that it is somewhat expensive...but the foundation tube last for 3 months for me!
