Foundation...Is There Such?

pommom — Tue, 18 Jun 2019 16:09:46 GMT

Have been using Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation for years. Lately, it's just been too heavy regardless of how little I apply. I'm looking for something that definitely has coverage. The challenge is to find good coverage with a light, radiant finish.

Is there something like this on the market? Your recs would be appreciated. Am almost out of foundation and am looking for something new. Once I get a few recs, I would have to go to a B & M store to get a good match.

TIA!

I like it cc your skin but better. 50spf, when buffed with

included soft brush it glows. Very light and yet some

coverage.

Foundation has come a long way. Depending on your preference will very likely determine the type of coverage and finish. Ulta, Gives samples.

@pommomHave you tried Double Wear Light? It has coverage but it isn't as opaque and cakey as the original Double Wear. If you apply a moisturizer underneath you can still have a slight glow if your skin isn't dry.

I am loving the Bare Minerals BarePro liquid. I picked it up at a discount store in the Fall. The first couple times I put it on, I hated it, because it went on cakey and matte and just blech. But now that I've figured out how to apply it well, I won't be without it - at least not in the summer when my skin is oily and sweaty. I have heard it compared to EL Double Wear, but lighter. Not quite as much coverage, but I find it's enough for me if I do one application and then build in areas that need more coverage. Then the really stubborn spots, I just tap on a bit of concealer.

They have it here on QVC with the brush for a pretty good price. I happened to also get the brush at a discount store, and i think it gives the best finish. There is an application tutorial on the BM website. The colors do lean a bit more warm, and the foundation oxidizes a bit. Might not be good for dry skin - it does cling to dry patches.

It does go on pretty matte, but on me, it quickly turns radiant. I just love it! I finally look good in photos! (And it stays put, which is no small miracle on my face)

Boots No7 also makes nice foundations. They don't hold up to long wear, but they are really pretty on the skin.

Going to counter might be a thing to do. That way they can help you decide on what to look for and maybe give some good application tips, too. Might save you some time and money that way.

Bobbi Brown foundation stick. Easy to apply and lasts all day. It covers yet it goes on sheer. It looks like your skin but better.

I have recently started using Tarte babasu foundcealer foundation and I'm astonished how much it looks like my skin but without all the ugly stuff. It covers so well and is light as air with a dewey finish that you can leave alone or set with a translucent powder.

@Sweet_Serenity, Ulta is giving samples now? Last time I was there they wouldn't; said they don't give samples. Great to know!

I ordered some stuff from Nordstrom and you can choose samples of stuff. I chose the LaMer foundation. Big mistake. It is beautiful. The color was actually a perfect match for me. Do not try it!!!! lol It is way too expensive, but just lovely.

Do you prefer liquid or powder foundations? Light to medium or medium to full coverage?

I like the Urban Decay One and Done (liquid foundation & 30SPF sunscreen). On me it gives a light to medium coverage. I use the Light shade.

I also like their Urban Decay Naked Skin liquid foundation and that you may need to be matched to color as they are in 1/2 number increments. In non summer months I use the 2.5 shade. This gives medium to full coverage.

Another that I like is Lancome Skin Feels Good (liquid foundation and 23SPF sunscreen). I use the 02C Natural Blond shade.This gives light to medium coverage on me.

Believe it or not, Wet n Wild actually makes really nice foundations. It just depends on what you're looking for. Some Youtube channels I would recommend for foundation reviews are Hot n Flashy (Angie) and Tati (Glamlifeguru). Frugalista is another one that's fun. Angie does a foundation review almost every friday, so she has quite a few posted.

I do like the It Celebration foundation powder for a quick sweep on low-maintenance days.

I LOVE Bobbi Brown Anti Aging Repair serum foundation. Covers well and no "masky" look. It's an anti aging serum as the name says.

I switched a few months ago to Bobbi Brown Stick Foundation. I love it. I think it's the best foundation I've ever used and posted about it a couple of weeks ago. Go to her website and read about it, and then go to the make-up counter and try it.

I have used Bare Minerals Original powder foundation for over 20 years. It covers well, and is light and it doesn't settle into my worn looking face. Since it is minerals, it is good for the skin and gives you some sun protection. With all the good answers you have received, I hope you will be able to find the perfect foundation for you. Good Luck!

If you haven't tried the Catrice HD foundation you're missing out.
