Kicking things off with another subject:

I have a hard time finding a foundation that works for me. How 'bout you? I saw some mutterings about this in our first thread, so let's chat about it!

Right now I'm using M.A.C. Studio Tech in NW15, which is a pretty close match if used with a light hand. The trouble is: it doesn't cover those pesky light veins that run from my cheeks to my jawline. But using a heavier hand results in a cakey look or really emphasizes a color-mismatch.

I haven't found anything else that works better, because a lot of the really pale colors I've tried are white-white, meaning: there's no color at all in them, so I look like I'm doing Kabuki! So, I do the best I can with my foundation, then I divert attention with eye make-up (or so I hope!).

There's got to be a balance. What have you tried? What do you like? What real stinkers have you come across?
