What foundation are you wearing?

Today I'm wearing my newest addition: Clinique Redness Solutions in Calming Ivory (03). I wasn't in the market for a new foundation, but when I was doing the preorder for my most recent Clinique GWP, the MUA offered me a free makeup application (I went in early on Saturday morning with a bare face).

I am SO impressed with this foundation. The redness in my face always prompts MUAs to start with foundations that are way too dark for me. A very very light application of this foundation completely covers the red and gives me the even-toned skin of my youth. It's not one that you'd want to apply heavily because it's certainly not sheer, but it doesn't take much at all to tone down my skin.

My other foundations are MAC Face & Body C2, MAC Matchmaster 1.5 and MAC Studio Moisture Tint in Medium.

I don't need much coverage all over so I prefer something lightweight. My favorite so far has been UD Naked. I have it in 6.0, which is a little too dark at the moment but it will be perfect for these warmer months coming up. I have some pretty bad discoloration around my eyes that's more intense than the average dark circle so I'm always on the hunt for the perfect concealer. Right now, my favorite has been Bobbi Brown's Creamy Concealer in Beige (the older kind with the loose powder underneath). I've got my eye on Bare Escentual's new concealer next!

i can't use liquid or cream foundations at all. I like to use dior powder foundations and apply them with brushes to give lighter coverage. like their Nude series powder foundations and diorskin forever too. Also i like how Clarins looks on skin, very natural.

I wear the new Covergirl whipped foundation. I love that you don't need a lot and covers well. I also love how it moisturizes as well plus it stays on all day. I do set it with loose powder.

I have just started wearing makeup again. I recently bought Garnier BB cream and i use it daily. When I wear lipstick and eyeshadow I also like to use MAC mineralize concealer NC45.

I was reading the thread about Olive skin tones. I have always thought that I look greenish and sickly in the winter when I lose all my colour. Do you think I should try a 'C' foundation?

Right now I am wearing Marc Jacobs Genius Gel Foundation in Cocoa Medium. I have been wearing it everyday since I brought it.

MAC's Pro Longwear foundation and I work really well together. Lol, I use it almost daily. I am in need of a good "night life" foundation, however, because I end up looking super pale and ghost like with flash photography. I'm pretty sure it's because of the SPF in it :(

Right now I'm using Illamasqua skin base in 15 and Kat Von D lock it tattoo foundation in 66...Love them both. The Kat Von D doesn't feel heavy at all
and it's a very full coverage foundation.

I have been recommended #66 and the SA in Sephora tried to force shade #71 on me (they don't even sell in stores near me). It is good to see someone co-sign on that shade (#66) - if your avatar is you, it looks like 66 would work.

I wish they had a sephora store closer to me. The closest one is about 2 hours away!

My new coverage is the YSL BB cream in dark. It's perf. I conceal with my NARS creamy concealer in cafe. The YSL BB cream comes in 1 dark shade but it seems to work for a range of deeper skin tones and has correcting benefits. I set with MUFE super matte powder #18

yep that's me lol, its blends in well the base is yellow enough for me with a little bit of reddish not too much. I know when I couldn't try illamasqua I ordered two shades and returned the one that didn't work for me. I also googled swatches till I was cross eyed

I've used MAC Pro long wear, MUFE Matte, Smashbox, Lancôme, Laura Mercier, Benefit, Estee Lauder Double Wear, Clinque Stay Matte among a countless sea of other foundations and I've finally found a drugstore foundation that has hit HG status:


Covergirl 3 in 1 in soft sable looks like skin and is long lasting.

Wow! I just went to Walmart online and read the reviews. They were all positive. They said, "Best foundation ever" and "Miracle foundation" Lots of reviews! I'm going to try this as soon as I can! Thanks!!
