@Jordan2 I highly recommend Urban Decay foundations. They have a wide assortment of shades and all are in very wearable shades. I love the light, but well pigmented coverage. I think their foundations are among the very best in the market. I buy mine from Ulta, which is great because you can try them on and, importantly, actually see what you look like....since their stores are well lighted unlike Sephora!). Good luck!

@Jordan2I have always had a hard time finding a shade and foundation I like.  SKINN had some good ones but when Perricone came out with the original (not the serum) No Foundation Foundation with no shades - well it works in the winter and in the summer without having to change shades.    Another thing is that maybe you are not exfolliating, using a primer or applying it too heavily to begin with  which is what I used to do years ago thinking more was better.    There is nothing that works for every one though.

I agree with you!  Foundation is my biggest complaint and problem.  Other items of makeup are not that important to me.  But foundation --- well, that makes or breaks your whole complexion and face.  If that does not look and feel good, then forget it!

I use LG Balance & Brighten more than anything.  But it is not doing it all for me either.  I have probably 15 different makeups right now.  I just ordered a small kit of Pur to see if I like it.  

I tried a few different formulas in IT and while there were some very good qualities to it, I was not all together pleased with it either.

I guess we just keep searching and hopefully we will eventually hit on the right one!

I have been looking my whole life for a foundation that matches my skin, not make my face greasier, not cause breakouts and has a good non chemical SPF.  I bought the philosophy skin tint and it made my face a greasy mess.  The closest I have found is the It CC your face but better.  However it settles in lines and wrinkles.  Angie on Hot and Flashy raves about chanel lumiere velvet.

Dior is a good foundation

You know how they can match your color of paint when you go to a paint store?? Why can't someone do this for foundation??!!

@Jordan2, the newest one that I am dying to try is Lawless on Sephora website. It is a clean product with no yucky ingredients.  Supposed to give full coverage with a very light feel. I normally only go for medium coverage but the lightweight part grabbed my interest. I did order Sunrise which was way too light for me  so I returned it. Mojave is the shade that I should wear but they have been sold out. I may just order from Lawless website. It also gives a satin finish. If you have a Sephora near you, that was going to be my other suggestion. They can assess your skin's needs and determine what will work best.

I've been using Chanel Healthy Glow - The Nudes (Les Beiges) liquid foundation for a few years.  This is the only foundation I can remember that I've bought a second bottle.  I happened to receive a sample of it - in #30 beige - and loved it.  So glad I found it.  And I do not use a primer.  It makes my skin look perfect.  And it has a pump dispenser - one pump is plenty so it lasts a long time.  I have more of a neutral - light/medium tone to my skin but they have many shades to choose from.  The beige I'm able to wear all year 'round. It's a great in between shade for me - not too light or too dark.   I just use a little bronzer in the summer.  Plus it's SPF 25.

I went on this search a few years ago when Bare Minerals didn't work anymore. I always have had a hard time getting a great formulation with the appropriate coverage. A color match is always a challenge. 

The addition of CoverFX Custom Color Drops helped solve that! I can add to almost anything now to lighten or darken and not change the formula.

I use, in no particular order, IT Cosmetics CC Cream, Rimmel 24 Hour Lasting Finnish, Wet n Wild Photo Focus, Shiseido SynchroSkin.
