Do you use different foundations or do you rotate ... - Page 3

I have one at a time. When the one I am using is gone I go to my wish list and see if there is a different one I want to try. Ot just repurchase the same one. I have one face and don’t wear it everyday. I tend to like to have a variety in my eyeshadows and blushes. I don’t feel I need more than one foundation, powder, and bronzer. One eyebrow pencil and gel too.

i finished the doll 10 tinted moisturizer and purchased the rms skin tint. When the rms is gone I will decide if I will pick something new to try it repurchase the doll 10 or rms. I have a few on my wish list to pick from. I love both of them though. I was thinking I trying the it cosmetics cc nude glow next or the new hourglass foundation they just came out with.. The rms will probably last me a year. My rule is I have to finish the one I have before I buy anything else.

I used to love EL Double Wear till my complexion turned DRY!

I sometimes wear the Estee Lauder Futurist Hydra Rescue foundation.

QVC tik tok shop currently has a duo of the it cosmetics cc nude glow for 36 dollars. A insane price if you use it.

@wvumountiefan - This is a fun post. I recently did a foundation purge and have some set aside to see if I really want to keep them. Will list the ones I decided to keep.

IT CC Cream - In the Glow version. I love this and it seems to like my skin too. It's thinner than the original, lasts well on me all day, doesn't separate on my chin or nose, coverage is good for me, shade is good too. I'll always have this in my collection.

ELF - Soft Glam Foundation. Love this one also. Looks great, staying power is good, and, for me, is right up there with the IT CC cream..

Fenty Beauty - Stick foundation. The color match on this for me is unbelievably good. Coverage is light and staying power is ok. I like using this because it's quick.

Maybelline - Super Stay 24 Hour Skin Tint. It really is good and for a skin tint the coverage and staying power is good too.

L'Oreal - True Match N*de Hyaluronic Tinted Serum. Like this too. The coverage and staying power is not bad but not as good as the Maybelline. Still like it though.

I do have a stick foundation that I really like by ILIA. Sometimes I'll apply it for a little more coverage on those areas where I have broken capillaries. It's really nice. They have a skin tint that I had a few years ago and it was really nice. I used it up, which says a lot for a foundation for me, but I did really love it. I have a few brands I want to try like NARS and Giorgio Armani.

I’ve had a hard time finding a foundation that I really love. Therefore, I have several. Bobbi Brown foundation stick, Danessa Myricks yummy skin foundation, Doris Dalton anti-stress foundation, Charlotte Tilbury light wonder foundation and several others tucked away in an old makeup bag. I use Bobbi Brown and Danessa Myricks the most, although I don’t often wear foundation because my daily sunblock is tinted and actually provides a decent amount of coverage. It’s the Dr. Denese tinted spf day cream.

I rotate between 3 foundations.

Nars Sheer Glow

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk.

Both of those are my dress up foundations and I just go with how I'm feeling on any particular day. I add a drop of Fenty Eaze Drop'Lit (an all-over glow enhancer) to each.

Fenty Eaze Drop (Blurring Skin Tint) - This is what I would grab for casual purposes. It's my no-makeup look and I might only add eyebrows and blush.

I want to try NARS and Giorgio Armani one day. The NARS Sheer Glow sounds like the one I'd like to try. I would like to be color matched at a Sephora if possible. I know Giorgio has a smaller version of their foundation, which I love when brands do that.

I do change up foundations. It depends on the situation. Do I need full coverage or just a nice tinted serum...and I have a few.

-Hourglass Foundation Stick
-ELF Soft Glam
-Laura Geller Balance and Brighten
-Pur Mineral Foundation
-Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue
-L'Oreal Nude Tinted Serum
-Maybelline Super Stay Skin Tint

All do different things for me and all work well!

I love that Color Science Flex wear and was surprised by the coverage it offers. It comes out white but changes as you spread it on the face. It spreads nicely and a little goes a long way..

@wvumountiefanYou might have trouble getting matched for Nars Sheer Glow. The last time I bought it, I had to buy it online. They no longer carry it in my local Sephora store. I'm not sure if they meant just that store or all of them. Nars had recently come out with a different foundation and I guess they wanted to encourage folks to buy that one. I didn't care for that one though. Nars assured me they weren't discontinuing Sheer Glow though.

It seems my shade in Sheer Glow is not a match for a lot of other brands at least from using Sephora's color matching tool for foundations I'm considering.

I am home 98% of the time and I don't wear foundation when I am home. When I am out I am most likely to wear LG B&B. It's easy and seems to make my skin look the best. I have a bunch of other foundations but I rarely wear them. Some from Cover Girl, ELF, Maybelline, Almay, Boots, etc.

My favorite foundation and the one I am wearing today is bareMinerals loose foundation. It's my favorite because I get a good shade match and looks better on me than a liquid foundation hours later.

I have a liquid and pressed powder by Maybelline. I got a shade too dark for liquid so haven't worn that much. It will look okay when I first put it on but later, not so good.

I have been using bare minerals recently and find it to also be a good match. Easy to apply. I have some Laura Geller my friend picked up for us girls but it is too light for my skin. She must have gotten a deal because it matches her skin tone and not my other friend and mine. lol. I have been using the blush and eye make up though in the Laura Geller kit and I do like that.
