Best Foundation

ChicagoGirl33 — Sat, 17 Jan 2015 22:02:52 GMT

What's your favorite foundation? I don't wear a ton of make-up and really don't like foundation, but really think I look best when I do. My skin is oily and I also have sun spots and scars for various reasons. In any event, I need to wear foundation, but want one that feels like I'm not wearing one. Right now I'm using Bare Minerals Matte and like it, but wanted to get some other opinions.

IT's a tie for me between Skinn's Serum Foundation or Bare Minerals Serum Foundation. Then IT cosmetics.

That is the $64,000 question! I have tried a lot of different foundations and am still on a quest for my HG. I think you just have to keep trying different ones to find the one you like best. BM isn't a bad one to use. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help!

Missha Perfect Cover is my HG. I get it from Amazon. The name of the seller is Beauty Best LLC. It covers well and last all day.

For mineral foundation - Cory Cosmetics Mica Blend foundation and Cory Cosmetics Mica Free Concealer. Both still available. She has been in business for about 12 years. I'm always worried she is going to be out of biz by the next time I'm ready to order.

For liquid/cream foundation - Dermacia - discontinued now I guess or at least almost impossible to find. Used to be available at Lovely Skin but no more. The company sold to Oxygentics, which I tried but it's not the same. The 2 Ebay sellers I have purchased from in the past no longer are selling it either. Maybe still available through a club thing but I never like that set up. I am down to by last bottle and only half of that left. Sigh.

For someone who's bought just about every one offered on HSN and QVC and I used to wear Clinique I can tell you that I REALLY like IT.

I use Laura Geller primer and put on IT foundation. It makes my skin all the same color. I really like the way it blends (I'm always in a hurry).

People think I look younger. A lot of it is because my skin is the same color. Most people don't realize how important that is. It covers up any spots and uneven areas.

I highly recommend it.

Cover Girl Ready Set Gorgeous is the closest I have come to replacing my beloved Clinique foundation. Good color, staying power, goes on easily... leaves a nice finish.

What I have tried: Almay (thrown away)/Clinique Blemish one -- not using it/Atelier (NO) and a bunch of others which I will try to find the names of and list. The next one to add in will be MAC white -- to lighten the foundations I own that are too dark, etc. HTH

Laura Mercier is what I've worn for over 15 years. I use her Silk Creme foundation, but she has several different ones. I like it because it looks very natural. You just use a tiny bit, and the tube lasts a very long time. I would recommend going to a Laura Mercier counter and getting someone to help you choose a foundation that's right for you.

I received a sample of Laura Mercier's new foundation "Fluide" which gives coverage but yet it doesn't look like you are wearing a foundation -- it's like a second skin. Right now I use her tinted moisturizer and have another foundation of hers but when I use up, I will definitely purchase this new one. It's oil-free, semi matte finish, long lasting and comes in 24 shades. It's a 21st century foundation.

My new favorite foundation is Laura Mercier's new fluide foundation that KatCat1 mentioned. It looks so natural.

My favorite is Bourjois 123 Perfect CC Cream. It's available from lifeandlooks.com or asos.com. It is very similar to the Laura Mercier fluide, but about half the price. Bourjois is made in France. They also make Chanel.

. I agree my favorites are Bare Minerals Serum and SKINN Serum & Plasma. I think I prefer Bare Minerals but both are my favs.

I have combo/oily skin & mineral or powder foundations don't control my oil, so the foundations fade off of my skin by early afternoon. I do like Laura Geller Balance & Brighten for a fast face, if I know it won't be a long day. I have several liquid foundations that I really like. I use them alone or mix them to get the color or coverage that I need that day. Mac Pro Longwear, Matchmaster or Studio Fix Fluid. Revlon Colorstay Whipped. tarte Tinted Treatment bb Primer or Amazonian Clay Full Coverage. Exuviance Skin Caring. Josie Maran Matchmaker Serum Foundation.

I'm oily, and 53. I absolutely love Tarte 12 hour Amazonian Clay Foundation. Goes on as a liquid but quickly dries to a dewy yet matte finish. Looks fresh all day and I live in a very humid part of the states. Their cc cream is the best too.

I have dry skin so my choices may not work for you. I love and use 3 equally. I love the HSN M. Asam makeup finish makeup(one color), Mally air brush mousse(pump can, light/medium) and BE bareskin serum foundation in bare shell. I am fair with dry skin.

I too have tried just about everything out there all over and finally found these 3 that work great for me.

I switch between these...Loreal mineral true match,and Estee Lauder double wear. I need full coverage for melasma and these two work best for me. I wear Loreal true match loose mineral foundation daily. I like the coverage and the ease of use. It looks natural in full light and stays on even through summer outdoor workouts in 90 degree temps.Plus the shades (broken into cool,neutral,and warm) in the warm tones are yellow enough. ** I like this WAY BETTER than Bare Escentuals!!!!Estee Lauder double wear is so awesome; but I only wear that for nighttime or dressier occasions. It is truly full coverage,tons of shades,and wears a long time.The coverage is natural and yet flawless. It is a bit expensive but a little goes a long way if you use a brush or fingers instead of a sponge. I still try other things but so far these are my faves.

I have been using IT CC cream but I got a few samples of Clarins Everlasting and it is the best foundation ever!

IT CC+ color correcting foundation ! I love how when I put it on, it makes all the redness disappear = and gives me a natural look! Won't ever be without it !

Re: Best Foundation

moosesgal — Sun, 18 Jan 2015 16:54:28 GMT

Makeup Forever Mat Velvet. Awesome coverage and leaves a nice finish. Always used EL DoubleWear, but I love this so much better!
