Hey guys! I loving my new NARS tinted moisturizer in Martinique! Perfect match, my skin but better look, and lightweight. I'd love to hear what your currently loving foundation wise, as I'm still in search of my full coverage HG! You're free to list what concealer you're loving as well. :)

On a daily basis, since I just go to university, I use studio fix powder + fix plus (I don't like the powdery effect).

 

At night, I use lancome teint miracle, which I think it's perfect. It has a good coverage (medium, but you can build up layers), it delivers a luminosity to my skin (I don't like matte finish), but not a luminosity like if my face was oily..luminosity like healthy skin you know. 

 

And my favorite concealer is maybelline age rewinder :)

Lately I've been wearing Mac Pro Longwear SPF10. It wears really well on my oily skin and is a great match. I work just 2 tiny pumps into my skin with my hands then buff it in further with a brush for a nice light coverage. I like my skin to look like skin and to feel like it can breathe and this foundation does the trick. I set it with Ben Nye Banana powder.

 

I also like to wear Mac's MSF natural on it's own buffed in with a bit of Fix+ It evens out my skin, provides light coverage and gives me a nice healthy glow.

 

For concealer I am using Amazing Concealer which is truely amazing! It covers dark circles and other areas of discoloration on my face really well. Applying it under the eye so it does not crease or settle into fine lines can be tricky but I've worked it out =)

I don't wear foundation or tinted moisturizer daily, but what I have been reaching for when I do:

 

NARS Pure Radiant TM in Seychelles (may have to move one shade up as my skin is already shifting to its winter color)

Revlon ColorStay Whipped Creme foundation in Caramel (I like it more than the liquid version)

Make Up For Ever Duo Mat powder in 214

Make Up For Ever Mat Velvet+ in #70

I've been loving Smashbox HD in D2 since the weather has gotten cold. I pair it with MAC Mineralized Skin finish and MAC Pro Longwear Concealer in NW45. When I want to highlight using a Concealer I use MAC Pro Longwear in NW 35.

I don't wear foundation and if I do I like Guerlain Lingerie de Peau.  I much prefer a light coverage so I use a BB Cream ( Clinique ) or nothing at all but a good loose powder or Benefit Get Even or Estee Lauder Double Wear compact foundation ( sometimes )

I'm up and out of the house for work by 5:15 on most days and wear a surgical cap and mask for about half of my hours (I'm a pediatric cardiologist...no rest for the weary), so speed, ease of use, and staying power are highest on my priority lists.  For days that I'm not going to be wearing a cap and mask I usually just use a bit of Prolongwear concealer (AWESOME) and MSFN.  If I'm going to be wearing a cap and mask, I use something that has a bit more staying power like the new Revlon Colorstay Whipped Cream, or Lancome Teint Idol.  For non-hospital days or nights out when I want a bit more coverage I love Prolongwear foundation.  I don't use it for everyday because the application takes a bit more concentration.  It does have a bit of SPF (10, I think), but I find it photographs beautifully.  I wore it for my wedding in Jamaica - it was 90 degrees with close to 100% humidity and it looked as gorgeous at midnight as it did at 10a.m.  Even my photographer asked me what I had used.

i mainly wear Lancome teint idole ultra, when I want something a little more simple i go for MUFE f&B -but i was using a sample-which is now gone. So instead I'll use my nars sheer matte and touch up with duo mat powder.   I am waiting for the mufe boutique to open in SF so I can get a custom shade for the face and body formula....that won't be until feb...

I wear Iman foundation stick in Earth 1, with Clay 5 as my under eye concealer. I love that it gives full coverage but can be easily transformed into a sheer finish by blending with a little moisturizer. I can't wait for Iman to debut her new BB Cream.

I don't wear foundation daily.  When I do wear it for a normal day wear situation, I use Iman Cream To Powder in Sand 5 or sometimes Mary Kay Cream To Powder in Beige 4 (or is it actually 400?  Whatever that darkest Beige is before moving into the Bronze range.).  For evening, special events, or when I want to make sure my foundation is going to have staying power, I wear EL DoubleWear in either NW1 or NW2, or EL DoubleWear Light in Intensity 4.  (In MAC my best match is NC44, for the record.)

I've been wearing the Benefit hello flawless oxygen wow (a mouthful) in 'so glamber amber' for almost a week straight. the ONLY foundation I've worn for days in a row. the coverage is light (which I prefer) and it gives the most beautiful glow!

 

I also like both MAC and MUFE face and body foundations (C6 and #18, respectively) - Laura Mercier and NARS TM (tan and cuba, respectively)

oh and NARS sheer glow is great too, I wear tahoe
