Foundation issues

[phillyniki]

Good afternoon MUT ladies! I am desperate in need of some foundation advice. I am currently using MUFE Mat Velvet + and I like the coverage, however it's a little tough to spread w/ a foundation brush and I also noticed that I look pretty pale in picture (which I learned from a forum search that it's from the titatinum dioxide). I want to try a pro brand like cinema secrets but I have to order it online...so i'm looking for recs (w/ no titanium dioxide) for something that can hold me over until then from either department/drugstore or Sephora (I am right near King of Prussia one of the biggest malls in the country so I have access to most dept store high end brands). My skin is a little dry right now so I'm thinking of maybe a cream? I usually only wear liquid. Thanks so much!

Do you have access to Shu Uemura's Nobara cream foundation? I've heard good things about that.

Also, if you're desperately in need, I've heard good things about CoverGirl Advanced Radiance Age-Defying compact foundation (it's a cream as well).

Good luck!

I think you'll really like the Cinema Secrets!

All of the brand I would suggest are also Pro. I am using Graftobian Hi-Definition Professional Foundation for photoshoots and it is amazing!!

Is there a pro makeup store, theatrical or costume place near you? If so, you could possibly purchase Cinema Secrets from there. CS is a great foundation (I love using it when I'm working on talent).
Try checking out some pro mua message boards. You may find a mua that lives near you or the King of Prussia Mall. Maybe they can tell you where to purchase professional makeup products.

Good luck.

Try the Clinque Supermoisture Makeup, its very good for dry skin and it isn't in a runny liquid form either. Personally, I thought it was good (my skins very dry) but I didn't like the dewy/shimmery look it gave. If you like a bit of shimmer in your foundation, and you have dry skin, then this is the one for you.

Maybe a tinted moisturizer would be a good choice for you/
