Hi bengals gal. Have you tried Dr. Denese's SPF 30 Defense Day Cream? It is a tinted physical broad spectrum SPF cream that I have used for years. There is only one shade but it has been my favorite for many years and keep trying different tinted moisturizers and always come back to this product. No chemical sunscreen and the color just blends right into your skin. I so wanted the new JM tinted moisturizer to work for me but can't do yellow toned colors so purchased her Fair and it just doesn't match my skin. Too pale but at least not yellow. Back I went to my HG and have just never found anything better. I usually just wear the DD SPF 30 but on date nights I do put a LancĂ´me or Chanel foundation (since both these lines make foundations for us fair pink toned gals) on top but for everyday usually just the DD SPF 30.

I haven't tried the DR. D but I will check it out too.

I have a very sensitive chin that gets itchy, red and broken out with almost everything and now that Josie is messing with this formula I need to find something else.

Luckily, a good friend of mine has an almost full bottle of the Josie tinted moisturizer in the bottle that she is going to send me so that should hold me over until I can find something else that works for me.

I am one of those fair skinned gals too but I have more of a neutral undertone. I just recently purchased the Tarte Amazonian Clay foundation in the Fair Sand which is for yellow undertones and it is a perfect match for my skin. I don't see any yellow in it at all.

I really like Dr. Denese 30 spf day cream. There is some coverage. Some days I put foundation over it, some days I don't. I get the big tubes and they last a long time.

Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else. Margaret Mead

How about Josie's Matchmaker foundation. IMO its more of a tinted moiisturizer than a foundation. It has very light coverage and feels great. I use mine many ways. I will wear Laura Geller's Balance and Brighten over it for more covage or I will mix the Matchmaker foundation with primer and make a BB cream.

Oh I'm excited for you! I don't think that you will be sorry. I never had sensitive skin until just a few years ago and that is one of the reason's I have continued to use Dr. Denese. I have NEVER had a negative or sensitivity reaction to the trio that I use every single day which I think is in your discovery kit. I have been on autodelivery for a trio that will be in one of her upcoming TSV's I think on Feb. 14th. I do add in Vitamin C every other day and retin A once a week and a few other Dr. Denese products. I will also try a few Isomers products every so often but always return to Dr. Denese and keep the trio on hand always. Good luck and keep us posted. I had zero results with Perricone but we all have different skin and different needs. Have a great weekend bengals gal! I think I mentioned before that most days I just use her tinted SPF for my tinted moisturizer but for nights out or a special meeting will use a LancĂ´me or Chanel foundation on top for more coverage.

I use Laura Geller tinted moisturizer in the Winter and her other one in the summer (it feels lighter to me).
