@ccassaday I will definitely get the 12 pan palette as you suggested.  Thank you.  

I am looking forward to checking out the sale later this month. 😃  I hope they include some of the lip and cheek pans.

I have used Seint (still using) and like it alot. I am older (77) and have always loved cream makeup going back to Pan Stick days!  I like to have a variety in my arsenal and currently using Seint, Tom Ford stick and Monika Blunder creme makeup. I would recommend going through an artist to buy Seint. Two of the best have already been mentioned, Contoured Chemist and Michelle Spieler. Both are on You Tube.  I love the convenience of one palette, shade range is getting better and long lasting for a reasonable price. On me it looks very natural and skin like and Michelle likes to call it "the look good close up club". There are things you need to do to achieve the look so if you don't like to futz around with your foundation you might not like it, but I don't mind since I have the time!  Hope this helps.

@kekes I agree with you on using an artist to do a color match.  I am so glad that I did, otherwise I would have picked a much lighter shade and probably would not have been happy with it.  Glad to hear that the creams are working well for you!

I am still trying to tweak it a bit as right now it isn't giving me the longevity that I would like.  I am going to try a bit more powder tomorrow (mostly fading in the t-zone right now).

@kekes   since you have experience with cream foundations from other brands, do you have a favorite?  Thanks!!

[kekes]

Currently I love the ones I've been using, Tom Ford stick, Monica Blunder and Seint.  In the past I've used and liked Eve Pearl.

As far as longevity, this has worked for me. Spray a Stans out sponge with setting spray and dab on face and see if that helps. 

Also Spieler and Contoured Chemist have good tips for longevity issues.  I live in Northern California so not too hot and humid here.

@kekes Thanks...I will look into the Stans out sponge.  I've seen a couple YouTubers talk about it and gave positive reviews.

You can also once cream foundation is on your brush spray it with setting spray then blend. They do recommend taking a damp sponge after cream makeup to give it a skin like finish.

@ccassaday Thank you for your tips!  Is there a specific setting spray that you would recommend that works best?

I would like to try it, but it's an MLM company and I'm not fond of those.  

There's a huge markup with MLM products.
