Anyone Try LUXE Brand Makeup?

BarbiHollywood · ‎11-09-2011

Good morning, all.

Anyone try the LUXE foundation supposedly for mature skin? I've been meaning to get to Sephora to check it out. It's available on Amazon, but I want to see in and test it in person before I buy. I think Sephora can give a small sample if you ask. I'll ask! Wondering if anyone has tried it.

:-)))

I'm wondering about that foundation myself -

Just tried liquid foundations from 2 different companies, and none of them were the correct shade, so annoying.

I don't generally like liquids for mature skin, and haven't found one that I like at all.

I've been using a powder foundation and also Laura Geller's baked foundation which is great because there is no shade problem.

I find cream foundations to be the worst!

You and I are identical!! Liquids look horrible on me. Just tossed an expensive one that I must've "tried" three or four times, but it just wasn't a good look. I, too, have used the LG Balance & Brighten. I like it, not love it. Stocked up on a few of the Fenty Filt'r Powder Foundation that are no longer at Sephora. Twenty bucks, not a huge splurge.

Butttt - I went to Sephora yesterday hoping to find the Luxe foundation that I saw on FB. They don't carry it in-store. I was so disappointed. I had gone to two smaller Sephora's and was told the regular stores had it. Imagine my disappointment yesterday when they said it's available online, but not on Sephora's site. All I wanted to do was look at it and see if a color or the formulation would work. Left there empty-handed. Sigh. I'm too tired of ordering makeup online only to be disappointed and have to return. I no longer buy makeup on The Q, no matter how good a deal or if they include a brush. Grrr.

My son's wedding is coming up in October, and though I plan on having my makeup done professionally, I wanted to play and try things out. The thought of some heavy-handed makeup artist possibly making me look cakey and overdone petrifies me.

The last time I had my makeup done was at Macy's, I believe it was the Clinique counter or Elizabeth Arden, not sure. But they did a fantastic job, I told them I wanted to look natural for a New Year's Eve party.

And they used earthy shades on my ivory skin, which threw me into using a whole different color scheme.

It was a great experience, I recommend it!
