Need help finding a good liquid foundation that covers

LuvmyLab · ‎06-07-2010

I've been using the It cosmetics CC cream and the Laura Geller Balanced and Brighten over it. Lately it hasn't been looking very good and I think it's the CC cream because it's not really a foundation. Any recommendations for a reasonably priced, good liquid foundaton that covers well? I am always either fair or porcelain with pink undertones (The fairest of the fair as they say). Thank you for your suggestions. PS I have dry skin.

I've been using Revlon liquid - several shades to pick from and in person (going to a local store) you get a better idea of the colors rather than off TV. I use a little lighter shade as my base (like Laura's Spackle but not nearly as heavy/thick) and then finish it off with a slightly darker shade as top coat. Tried Laura's and didn't like it at all.

Although I normally just use bare minerals bisque...I do occasionally use Covergirl + OLAY simply ageless. I also am fair with pink undertones. They have a variety of shades that you may like. It is reasonably priced...probably less than $10.00.
I also like Elizabeth Arden ceremide foundation in vanilla. It is more expensive though...around $42.00. Both are very nice. I tried the IT CC cream...but found it to be too dry...and too yellow for me.

Addendum to my post: Since CC Cream is technically not a real foundation does anyone use the IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Foundation? In watching a video about it it seems like this would provide the more coverage that I am looking for.

I love bye bye under eye - but not the CC cream. It didn't have enough color for me = looked like pale face. In the winter especially I want a warm look - in Revlon for the top coat - the color is Early Tan. Blends well - stays well all day and isn't very expensive. Top is a pimp style

I had to go and look up "CoverGirl + OLAY. Thought you meant you used one, and then the other. Wow, it's already mixed. I want to try this. I'm forever on the hunt for something that "really" matches, and not have to layer stuff. Where do you purchase this? Target? Drugstore? Thank You!

@Mistic I own Estee Lauder Wear Ever Light and it is not light. It is medium to full coverage and is sweatproof and waterproof. I like it when I want more coverage. I bought it at Nordstrom (free shpg.). Lots of shades/undertones.

I always use Covergirl Aquasmooth. Looks like a powder compact, but it is a foundation with a nice sponge applicator. It goes on smooth and covers well without looking heavily made up (under $10 most places).
