Really need full coverage to cover these pesky brown spots...Loved the original Clinique Repairwear but have not found a replacement. Suggestions appreciated.

Tia and Happy New year

M.A.C. is absolutely the best!!!! I prefer the mineralize cream compact, no mess, perfect color and my fav. But there are so many choices from liquid to powder to mix in additives. I add shine sometimes. You can't go wrong!

Thanks for this! I loved Studio Fix years ago and got hooked on powder foundation, but am of the age where it just doesn't work for me anymore (ANY powder foundation -- my last shot at it was IT Celebration Foundation.) My wrinkles are just too deep. So I'm thrilled there seem to be a couple of creams from MAC that might do the job. If I can't have a powder, I'm happy with a cream, and thrilled I don't have to wear liquid. So I'm heading to the MAC counter tomorrow! Thanks again!

I use Boots No. 7 (get it at Target) and have both the Perfect and Protect and the Lift and Luminate foundations in Cool Beige. Perfect natural color for me, nice coverage and natural finish without looking too dewey.

For $14.99 I really like it but would like to try Laura Mercier that everyone raves about. (these forums make me spend money and have trouble being content! lol)

Bobbi Brown Stick Foundation

Estee Lauder Double Wear

Lancome Teint Idole

*I would recommend applying a coat of foundation and then using a concealer for areas that still show through.

Good Concealers: Revlon Colorstay and Bobbi Brown

Kat Von D's Lock-It Tattoo Foundation has some pretty amazing reviews. You can look on Sephora's site and on YouTube for demos. I actually tried it over the summer and liked it a lot. However, I have extremely sensitive skin and broke out from it.

Nars Sheer Glow... love! Excellent coverage w/very small amount, yet it looks and feels like you're wearing nothing. I recommend getting the pump, total cost $46 yet one bottle will last me a year++.

I have tried many high end foundations in search of full coverage. The best two, the ones I go back to again and again are Estee Lauder Double Wear(there is also EL Double Matte which works just as well if not better if you have oily skin or perspire much) and Lancome Teint Idole. I have tried many drugstore foundations but have never found one with acceptable coverage. Estee Lauder also makes one called Maximum Cover which will cover anything flawlessly but it is really heavy(has a mask-like effect) and I only use it when I need extra full coverage such as during bad breakouts.

MAC Full Coverage foundation or Makeup Atelier Gel foundation.

Dermablend... great for covering dark spots! I also use it on upper eye lid and undereye as a concealer. However, since it is very heavy, it causes my face to break out in breakout-prone T zone areas. HTH
