Need a New Foundation

Jen306 — Tue, 20 Feb 2018 03:50:46 GMT

Hey there! I’m looking for a new foundation. I’ve tried the bare pro liquid and to me it’s super dry on and then I tried the It CC cream and it doesn’t really stay on all day. Can anyone give me a better suggestion? My skin type is more normal/dry and I do prefer liquid. Thanks!

@Jen306 Long wear/all day foundations can achieve that because a lot of the oil is removed making it not the best choice for drier skin types. I’m not familiar w/ many drugstore brands. In dept. stores, Make Up Forever, MAC, Armani, Tom Ford all have a wide range of liquid foundations. I prefer one w/o spf so that I can use my own before on face, neck, chest where I wouldn’t put foundation anyway.

May I suggest Wander Beauty stick foundation? I have dry skin and have used almost every foundation out there and Wander is just perfect for my skin. It’s moisturizing,but not shiny and although it’s medium to full coverage it doesn’t look look as though I’m wearing foundation. It looks as though I have perfect skin even though I have a few broken capillaries and a couple of sun spots. Also,I have light to medium skin with pink undertones and the light medium color is perfect for me.

Another plus is that there’s no talc in the foundation.

Good luck on your hunt 😊

This is my favorite of anything I have ever used in a liquid. It stays looking great all day and night.

I suggest trying the Kristofer Buckle foundation stick. I really love it.

@Jen306, if you find a foundation you like, maybe you'll let us know! I am on a lifelong search for a great foundation. I have tried liquids, sticks, creams, powders, you name it. It never is the right color, and always turns muddy on me ( I always use a primer). Good luck!

I have very very dry skin and the best foundation I've ever found is L'Oreal true match. Both the liquid and the powder are great! Available at the drug store - only $11.

May I suggest using a moisturizer first before applying your liquid foundation to your face. Second, a primer is recommended before applying any foundation so the foundation clings to the primer & not directly your face.

So it would be moisturizer, primer & then foundation. Allow the moisturizer & primer to dry completely prior the foundation. Finally allow the foundation to dry (if using a liquid one) before applying blush and/or highlighter.

I would recommend trying Bobbi Brown foundation stick. I have oily/combination skin and this winter my skin for some reason feels really dry and this foundation works wonders. It helps to prep my skin well prior to application. I know some ladies have difficulty finding the right shade despite the wide shade range but it's worth getting a sample.

@LilLadyNJ The foundation stick by B.B. would have been #1 choice, but OP asked for a liquid foundation. I personally find them messy to work with.

I'll toss out what I've been using. Merle Norman Timeless Illuminating Broad Spectrum SPF30 liquid foundation and really like it. I don't know if you have a Merle Norman studio near you, but they tried some on my skin to see which shade would work best for me. That way, I didn't have to guess.

Good Luck on your search and I hope you find something that you like.

@Jen306 I would look at Stila and Rihanna's new foundation both are more reasonably priced. If you want to spend more money look at Chanel, Armani & Laura Mercier.

I am not going to bombard you with suggestions. Stay away from Matte or anything that says long wearing. Those are not for dry skin. If you have a Sephora near you, my suggestion is to go there. They can see the condition of your skin, your undertones, etc.

Lancome's Teint Idole Ultra. This is not a new product, but as for a longwear liquid foundation there are several I could say are just as good, but none I would say are better. With an impressive color range of more than 30 shades there is bound to be one which matches well to your coloring whether your are super fair or coffee bean deep. Ulta and Sephora carry many shades of Teint Idole Ulra, but for the in-store availablity of the entire color range you must go to a Lancome department store counter.

@Jen306 - I use a variety, including one that matches my skin perfectly - Kristofer Buckle's. But one of the best things I ever did was go into a Bare Minerals boutique and order their Made-2-Fit foundation. I LOVE that, and I usually wear it when I really like to look great. The color match is perfect. You can use the app yourself, but the SA did it for me on the store phone. They scan different areas of your face with no foundation on, you give your information, and it comes in the mail with your name printed on the bottle. I would say it's a light to medium coverage, but one you can build to get a more covered look. It feels silky on, and it gives you a little glow - no sheen or anything scary. It is a little more expensive - around $50 - but I think it's more than worth it!
