My ideal foundation:
-Does not cause acne/irritation
-Fragrance-free (allergy issues)
-Moderate or better coverage without looking cakey
-Long lasting
-For combination/oily skin - skin around mouth and chin is dry; forehead and sides of nose become an oil slick by mid-day.
-$30 or less, ideally
I'm currently using Clinique's Even Better foundation, and tried their Acne Solutions and Perfectly Real foundations. I love the coverage they initially provide, and it makes me feel good knowing that they don't contain fragrances and irritants, but they don't seem to last through the work day. I have to blot the oil off my forehead and cheeks usually twice a day, and it seems like the makeup disappears either because of that or something else. I've tried using Bare Minerals in the past, but hated it (made me super itchy), as well as Physicians Formula mineral foundations, but I didn't like the way the powders just sat on top of my face. Honestly, am I being too picky?
Or, would I be able to stick with my current foundation if I add a good primer in? If so, what is a good primer?
