My Foundation Looked Perfect 12 Hours A Day in the Heat!!!

virgosun — Wed, 04 Jun 2014 22:21:35 GMT

I was just on vacation in Los Angeles and brought 3 foundations with me and ended up using the same one every day over my sunscreen because it felt so good, looked good and lasted without touch ups from 9 Am to 9 PM even though I was outside most of the day. It's L'Oreal's Visible Lift Serum Absolute! It felt light on my skin, blended perfectly with a sponge, covered minor flaws and left a satin sheen without any slickness. Back at my hotel at night it looked just as good. So impressed! I had It Cosmetics CC Cream and Armani Maestro Compact Foundation with me but this drugstore brand was just perfect!!!! Wow!!!

This is funny to me because I always take 2 or 3 foundations on vacation, too. I might not like the way one is performing, so it's good to have a backup. So glad you found a good one!

I have that foundation in my stash and it's pretty good. Haven't used it in a while so I'll have to revisit it. My skin is so oily now in this humidity and heat (and it's not even that hot here) that every foundation melts off after 4-5 hours. Glad it worked well for you.

Thanks for the replies! I always travel with a few types of foundations . Like to have a selection. Got the L'Oreal a few months ago and hadn't worn it much but now it's my new favorite. It even lasted through an LA Dodger game and I was facing right into the sun!!!!

That L 'Oreal's Absolute serum foundation is one of my favorites also. Boot's #7 ""Protect & Perfect foundation has a very similar texture as L'Oreal's and is very comfortable on the skin in hot weather.

I do the same thing, usually take a powder one and a liquid or a cream, and a BB too..

I have heard other people rave about this foundation on Facebook. I need to take a look at this foundation. The only drawback is matching up at the drugstore.

Marionette Lines ~ wasn't able to replay to your post from 2012 due to commenting period has closed. But the Mumbani Fresh Face Pillow $19.99 & Facial Smoothies wrinkle Remover Stripes has worked amazingly for me. Amazon has good reviews to read up on. I've tried injection fillers $700 that only lasted 6 month twice, which was getting way to costly and end up getting on the 2nd injection getting an infection/puss filled cyst on right side of my injection site which took a month to heal. Hope this helps ^.^

I'm heading out on vacation next Sunday, but I plan on not wearing makeup and not much more than a bathing suit!

I don't plan to pack much since we will only eat out once for Father's Day and cook the rest. Laid back and simple, condo, pool, beach, pool, condo, pool, beach, pool, condo......sleep at some point maybe! I don't leave until next Sunday so one more week of work.....I don't know if I will make it!

Oh yeah, I might give this foundation a try, but I have a few questions:

I have oily skin, how would this work with an oily T zone? What is the finish like on this foundation, matte, dewy, lumi...?

That's also my question, Tigriss & Virgosun!

Under the BEST of circumstances, my MU lasts 4 to 5 hrs. But I'm talking being in airconditioning and/or staying out of the sun and/or humidity 50% or lower.

I would try L'Oreal foundations, but inspite of their efforts to expand their range of shades for women of color they still can't match me. I have better luck with color with Maybelline and although I have not tried any, Revlon may be able to match me.

I absolutely love Maybelline's Fit Me Stick. I confess to placing a little in strategic places (such as around the eyes and on any discoloration I may have) when I go to the gym, or am trying to appear as though I'm not not wearing makeup.

HA! Less than 50% humidity in the deep southeast isn't going to happen this time of year. We are already at temps that make your toes start to sweat the moment you step outside! I've been using Paula's Resist foundation but when the weather got warm, it got cakey. I went back to mineral powder only and that works well to absorb the oil. I've thought about a matte foundation, but wonder if it will do the same thing regardless of the finish. I'm heading to WM today so I'll look at the shades and see how it does. I would like more coverage than the mineral powders but with my thyroid being wonky, when I start to sweat, that is all she wrote! I go from cold to hellacious hot in a nano second.....nope not hormonal, I've been checked for that. Night flashes have plagued me since my early 20s.

I have found NO BB or CC cream that would hold up with my oily skin...and the high humidity I live in.
