Foundation Poll

What foundation are you ladies loving right now?

As for me... I was really into Estee Lauder Double Wear Light in Intensity 2.0. coincidentally, as I am getting older, I want something with a little less "look at me I've got my makeup on". Not to mention, my skin tone is extremely difficult to match. UUGGHH. Woe is me. ;-)

:-P :-P

I've been using Bare Minerals for the last seven years, I will never go back to liquid foundation. The trick is that less is more. There are many different shades to choose from.

Lizzie, I used to wear this foundation. I found that the original made my faceitch when I got hot (I believe it was due to the bismuth oxichloride). I used the matte for a little bit, but the color was never right. The (n) was too pink, and the (w) was too orange! Do you apply yours with the kabuki, or do prefer the beauty blender/ wet sponge method?

Laura Mercier's brand new Smooth Finish Flawless Fluide. This is quite amazing. It's like a second skin, long lasting, oil-free, super lightweight, light to med. finish. I tried a sample of this and will buy it once I use up what I have. Let me also add that LM offers so many different undertones. She always has a great selection of shades. Right now I am using LM's tinted moisturizer and her foundation in a jar (crème smooth - med. coverage). I alternate depending on what kind of coverage I want. Both are very, very nice.

Have any of you been to Sephora and gotten matched with their shade iq gadget? Any luck with that?

I'm literally obsessed with YSL's new Fusion Ink foundation - it gives fantastic coverage but I can still feel the air rush through my pores when I'm outside, it's just that breathable!

I had a woman come up to me and ask how I get such beautiful skin - when I told her it was my foundation that was creating the perfection, she told me she had no idea I had any on at all.

I'm also super pale and the shade B10 matches me perfectly, and the Fusion Ink shade range in general is insane because there's something for everyone!

Yep I've done this - it's actually pretty accurate and I've gotten quite a few products based on what they recommend (you can do it either on their website or in store).

First, I'm in hysterics you can't use the word it&h! I use Laura Gellar primer over my moisturizer, so that leaves a barrier between my skin and the product, and it lasts all day! If you don't use a primer, I highly recommend it. I use Medium BM with a large kabuki brush, and start out with as small amount as I can, and build the coverage. I've been using IT Bye Bye Pores HD Micro Powder to finish, which seems to work better for me than mineral veil. I use Laura Gellar Pink Grapefruit Blush & Brighten blush. I've had several people tell me I look like I am "glowing," so I must be doing something right! And I'm not a professional in any way! BTW, I found the colors of BM to be very forgiving, I don't think it has to be exact, especially if you use blush to contour under your cheek bones, as LG suggests.

Missha Perfect cover BB cream. Been using it for quite some years now and always go back to it even though I like to try new things. It hasn't failed me yet, even when my skin has slowly changed from normal to now normal to dry.

Cover Girl Outlast foundation covers very, very well. But always use an SPF under it b/c it only has an SPF for UVB.

Still love Boscia BB. Occasionally reach for Missha. Often just some concealer and a little powder, esp since I started using 100% Pure primer.

Guerlain Lingerie de Peau Invisible Skin Fusion in 01.

Merle Norman Powder Base in Porcelain.

I alternate, depending on my mood and the mood of my skin. I love them both. Completely different, and both beautiful.
