New Foundation

bronx — Wed, 30 Jul 2014 14:23:46 GMT

I need a new foundation and i am at a loss. I used the new BM liquid Foundation and loved the coverage but it just melts off my face. I used tarte and Bobbi brown. I do need full coverage and have normal skin. Any suggestions would be great.

I use Estee Lauder Double Wear light, there is also a DW in full coverage. Love it, perfect for our hot, humid southern weat her, here in VA. In the winter I mix in a little moisturizer. I but when they have a gift with purchase.

Do you use a primer? That might help your foundation stay put. If you don't want a separate primer, BB and CC creams usually have a primer built right in. I really like IT's CC+ Cream. If you want to give Korean makeup a try, Missha's Perfect Cover is nice if you can find a good shade match.

I did not think of that, a primer may allow you to work with the foundations that you have. I use an EL primer as I have large pores. Works great.

Personally, I don't care for primers. I feel I get better coverage applying the foundation right on top of my skin (after SPF, of course).

I'm loving Revlon Colorstay Whipped foundation right now. I have oily skin so I need to set it with powder but a coworker uses it w/o powder b/c she has normal/dry skin. We both love it. It lasts all day long in the FL summer and hasn't caused any breakouts for me - of course I'm also meticulous with my skincare so I get every last vestige of cosmetics off my face before I crawl into bed at night.

It's about $12 at Walmart and you can often get deals at the drugstores - watch their sale papers. Coupons are often in the Sunday papers, too. (Btw, I've tried the DW foundation listed above and I find this is every bit as good. Just my opinion!)

Good luck!

Good to know, I will have to try this. How do you find the shade comparision, I use 3 in the summer month and 2 in the winter. Thanks for the info.

I do wear primer but I wonder if that is what keeps the foundation slick on my face. I will look into Estee Lauder and the Revlon. I also heard positive reviews for a Loreal foundation. I like having a drug store brand to look into.

For a drugstore love L'Oreal Lumi but I recently bought Eve Pearl HD Duo sold here at the Q and it is wonderful. It definitely has coverage. It can go from sheer to full coverage and feels like nothing on your face. It also has lasting power. There are two shades which are used on different parts of the face and then blended together.

I am still loving Perricone No Foundation Serum -- put it right on dry skin (nothing underneath). Really lasts all day with great coverage and undetectable finish.

Revlon Colorstay is often compared to Estee Lauder double wear. Many have switched after trying it. It looks nice on and stays all day. It comes in liquid and cream.

Missha M Perfect Cover is real nice too. Great all in one. If you are very fair Lumene CC cream is very nice, in the light.

I am always in search of a great foundation and own and tried many. My new fav is the new Estee Lauder Perfectionist Youth-Infusing Makeup, reminds me of the BM liquid but much better on me. Light, satiny, but good coverage and staying power.

I love Missha Perfect Cover and Lioele Gel foundation. I get good coverage from both. You can get good deals on Missha on eBay and Amazon and Lioele can be found on lioeletexasdotcom. Both are available in sample sizes too.

Colorstay Whipped foundation colors are a royal pain. I find them to lean toward the yellowish shades until you get to the beige shades. I'm fairly light so I had to blend the 2nd & 3rd shades to get one that'll work for me. Even though that's irksome, I know I'll have twice as much foundation at the end of the day. That works for me.

I love this enough - I'm sticking with this fab find!!
