Hello Ladies!
So I've recently run into a huuuge problem for me ;(
For years I've been using the Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse as my go-to foundation, because I *thought* it does a really good job. I guess it was okay, but not superb. It would melt in my face and settle around my pores... once I noticed this, I decided to switch to MMU because I read so many good things about it.
I've been using the Everday Minerals Intense Base foundation for a few months now, and just yesterday realized how much I AGAIN lied to myself. I WANTED to love it, I WANTED it to work.. but... again, it doesn't do the job as I need it to be done. The foundation settles around my pores and highlights them. I noticed this when I took a picture of myself... I could see my huge pores although I applied a primer, foundation and powder.
I finally have enough, and I am willing to cash out for a good foundation.
I have oily (not uber oily, but still) skin, some acne scars, redness and very large pores on my cheeks. They're not huge pits, but they're definitely big.
Can you please let me know you thoughts on a good foundation?
I was considering:
- Smashbox (as I really like their Photofinish primer)
- Benefit "Some kind of Gorgeous"
- MUFE
- Clinique (not the acne foundation; I read horror stories on that one)
- Dior... maybe
- MAC (never had anything MAC before)
I need something that doesn't cake and is lightweight... more or less. Price *almost* doesn't matter, I am willing to spend $40, or maybe even $50.
I am planning to go to Sephora and ask there but the problem is that theu are professionals, and know how to apply everything spot on.. so I'm scared they recommend me something, apply it to my face, I buy it.. come home... and it doesn't work for everyday use.
Please let me know your thoughts!
