Liquid Foundation Help Please

suanne — Fri, 01 Oct 2021 20:48:46 GMT

I used Mary Kay Day Radiance liquid foundation until they discontinued it and tried the Timewise Luminous 3D type. I do not like it at all and would like suggestions from others who had to find a new brand. I'm 68 with good skin. Thanks so much!

I just bought 2 new foundations over the weekend. One is from Chanel and the other is Bobbi Brown. So far I like the Bobbi Brown just a tad bit better.

@suanne You need to tell us the kind of finish you want and what type of coverage.

I haved used Chanel and loved it. Currently though, I don't want to spend a huge amount of money and I really like L'Oreal Infallible 24. It works well for my skin (dry/sensitive) but I'm not sure which skin type it is targeted for. I just know I like it and keep coming back to it.

@suanne - I'm 67 and have been told that I have good skin so I'll take their word for it. LOL I am usually light to medium with cool undertones - probably lean more towards medium than light. Would say I have dry skin.

I use L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Glow in Natural Buff and love it.

@suanne Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation is an all-purpose liquid. It wears well on a variety of skintypes. It can be applied very lightly with a barely-there touch, or if you prefer layer it on thick and this foundation will not look and feel like a cakey mess. It's an exceptional product.

Best advice I can give is go to the department store cosmetic counters, Sephora or Ulta & ask for samples so you can try at home. Definitely get color matched & don't guess at the shade. Natural light is best to see how close it is to your skin. The stores have fluorescent lighting, so the color might look great in store but when you get outside in natural light, it looks terrible.

Best to always go lighter than darker when choosing a foundation.
Wear it for a few hours so you can see if it oxidizes. It shouldn't.

I always heard the hype about this foundation, but never tried it until recently. It is hands down the best I ever used (and I have tried A LOT of foundations).

For the record, I have combination skin. It is long lasting and I don't need to touch up throughout the day. The variety of shades made matching easy (for me).

@suanne Yes, a Bobbi Brown fan here. When she started the company, she wanted the foundations to be in many shades and formulations. There are stick foundations, serum foundations, full coverage, more matte foundations for oily skins, etc. The shade range is great and if you order online, there is free returns on foundations to get another shade and a shade cart online.

The best thing to me is that the concealers are made to match. You choose one w/ the same name as your foundation and they're formulated for you about a shade lighter to bring brightness to the eye....no guess work.

@suanne It looks from what you have that you prefer a luminous foundation. Personally, I love Georgio Armanii Luminous Silk foundation. Its a light to med. coverage. Its the only liquid foundation that I have except BareMineral Complexion Rescue hydrating tinted moisturizer & BM Original mineral foundation. Armani has many shades to choose. Just go to a counter at Sephora or dept. store & have them match you up.

Re: Liquid Foundation Help Please

suanne — Sat, 02 Oct 2021 22:41:21 GMT

A natural finish, not matte nor too luminous with medium coverage. Thanks!

Thanks for that advice! I never had to do this since I wore the Mary Kay foundation for so many yeas.

@monicakm I think the G Luminous works well for Normal to Dry skin. I think Mel used it when her skin got more on the dry side in the cooler weather. Otherwise, she had combo skin. So sad. She was in constant physical pain & suffered from anxiety & depression but she was so brave & was able to get joy from her channel & family. Heaven has an angel.
