I have been using the Bobbi Brown foundation stick and the Bobbi Brown Skin Longwear foundation for several years. The formula and color matches my skin tone very well. I use the stick in the winter and the liquid in the warmer months. I have very oily skin. For the last several months I have also been using the Fenty Beauty Eaze Drops. This is a skin tint that provides light coverage and so far it works great on my skin. I would repurchase any of these foundations.

Like a lot of you, I do not have an outright favorite foundation. I use different ones depending upon the coverage I want and what is going on with my skin.  The foundations I like best are: Estee Lauder Double Wear, Pur 4-in-1 Powder Foundation, Mented Stick Foundation, and MAC Studio Fix powder.

 

Becca's Skin Love and Aqua Luminous had been on my list, but with the company being out of business, I know I may not be able to get them again.

Drug store right now is Maybelline Fit Me - Dewy foundation.  Since struggling with flakes on my face, it's about the only foundation I'm able to currently wear.  It does feel nice on the skin also.

I haven’t found one foundation that works for my mature combo skin. Foundation always makes my under eye wrinkles appear much worse! Even with proper skin prep (moisturizer and/or primer) I am still oily in t-zone and very dry under my eyes when I use foundation. Always looks great when I first put it on in the morning but within a few hours, it settles into wrinkles and does no favors for my complexion other than evening out my skin tone. So I have to choose: wrinkles or even skin.

@Natureluvr @Instead of wearing under eye area foundation, try NARS Creamy Concealer there. I have the same trouble with foundation causing lines in this area and the NRS Creamy, instead of foundation in this area really helps. Use lots of moisturizer first and let it sink in before you apply the NARS. You should not use a primer in that area because it will make thebANARS slip off and it will make lines show up.

I'm not one that has different foundation for different situations.  I pretty much use the same foundation whether I'm going to work or going out for the evening. 

 

My HG foundation is Revlon Candid.  The original, not the glow version.  I have gone through numerous tubes of this and I just like it a lot. 

 

I also have Flower Beauty Light Illusion and I like that but not as much as my Revlon.  My most recent try is the L'Oreal Age Perfect balm and I'll use it up but I'm definitely not a huge fan.

I don't have any skin issues - so I don't need any "industrial strength" foundations.  

 

My only issue is color - I'm light / beige /fair / neutral.  No pink or yellow undertone.  Color is always a problem for me.

 

The foundation I like the most was from Avon - Cream to Powder - but it was disconitnued.   Perfect color.  I had a stash - but down to my last compact and only use it when I'm going "somewhere."

 

For everyday - I've returned to my old favorite - Cover Girl.  It's one of the very few with the "right" color.

For me, it’s nothing but Double Wear. I read once that the makeup artist’s biggest secret is applying foundation with fingertips. That’s been my method for 40 years. I live in Navarre, FL now and my perfect color is a combination of Shell Beige and Spiced Sand. Double Wear is not #1 in the USA for nothing.
