Foundation

I need a good foundation for my old face! I was going to try Mally's new one, but a few comments says it dried their face, other brands don't last throughout the day, I've tried several department store brands, but still unhappy. Any suggestions for something to make my skin look dewy but not greasy? Thank you.

Having tried many, many types, this old face loves the Doll 10 foundation with a brush. I generally wear Light (not fair) and it is excellent in this brand. The brush makes the creamy texture go on smoothly and you can add more if you like. I got it in a kit with her blush, mascara and eyebrow stuff, all good products.

Just FYI for you.

I absolutely adore the It CC Creame Foundation. I'm 64, my sister 62 and our daughter's 30 and 32 and all four of us use this. It does not run or drip when you sweat and it's matte. I was lucky and received a supersize due to a TSV. For summer I ordered the CC Creame with Illumination. It's not sparkly, but gives you a little oooph! Don't hesitate to try this, you won't be sorry. April in Northern California

I am having the best luck (surprisingly) with Younique.

The primer does not break me out; the foundation and or BB cream is a beautiful shade; and the concealer does not crease. HTH

Another vote for iT CC. I have used the regular one for about four years and now I use the illuminating CC. Sometimes I mix the two, but sometimes I don't.

It leaves me with a dewy complexion (both formulas) if I use a moisturizer beforehand.

@Marebear54I really like Make-Up Forever HD foundation. Sephora carries this brand and can match your skin tone. This will last all day and still looks great.

I think I have tried every foundation as it is introduced. I am loving Dior Capture Totale serum foundation. I think it gives my skin a dewy finish.

I've tried so many and my current favorite is Makeup Forever Ultra HD. Great shade selection. Gives a natural/slighty luminous finish -good medium /buildable coverage.

I've been using Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Foundation for about a year. I can't remember ever using a foundation this long. I got a sample and loved it and I've used it ever since. It's not a dewy finish though - just a healthy natural glow. (I'm 65.) I use Bare Minerals Bare Skin Perfecting Veil over it as a finishing powder (it's pressed powder.) Great look - makes my skin look perfect - and young.

@Marebear54. Give Laura Mercier's tinted moisturizer. Either oil-free or the regular. It has light coverage but makes your skin look great. P,S, You may also want to consider trying out Philosophy new foundations one by Hope in a Jar and the other by Miracle Worker so you get the benefits of the skincare product. I want to go to ULTA to test out myself.

Another vote for the Doll 10. It blends flawlessly- makes my skin look great. The light shade is a perfect match for me. It lasts all day. I have combination skin & it's the only thing I can use on my whole face. Doesn't dry out my cheeks or make my nose an oil slick. I highly recommend it.

I wear two foundations:

La Mer Liquid foundation (pump bottle) in the warm months and Clarins Extra-Comfort Cream foundation (in a jar) in fall and winter. I am fair and have always had extremely sensitive skin. Through trial and error, I have found thatthese two brands are the only ones that do not cause any redness or dryness or breakouts. I use both sparingly and always apply with a foundation brush to blend.

Another vote for Doll 10. I use the HydraBalm foundation stick that comes with a brush. I needed something to cover a sun spot and a couple of broken capillaries and this foundation covers and still looks like my skin.

I have mature,dry skin and this leaves a slightly dewy finish, but not greasy or heavy. My skin tone is light- medium with pink undertones. The light is good for me as it it's a neutral shade

Another foundation that I like is Tarte Empowered Hybrid Gel. I took a chance and ordered the light medium. It runs dark so I use it when I self tan. The finish has more of a dewy look and I'll get a lighter shade for cooler months. I would say that the coverage for me is more medium that full.

Ive found that Doll 10 brushes are my favorite. I have a few It and Trish Mcavoy from many years ago.

Another Doll 10 vote. I love the hydragel foundation and concealer. I still have some IT CC cream and like that, but the Doll 10 is my favorite. I ordered the first kit she came out with on auto delivery, and this is the only auto delivery kit that I didn't cancel after the first shipment.
