What is the best foundation you have tried?

[quelinda]

I'm combination skin and usually use my foundation in my T zone. My favorites are:

Iman second to none CTP and Press Powder (earth)

Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse (cocca/ summer only)

MAC Studio Fix (nc45/ I can look red/ash at the end of the day)

Everything else makes me look to ashy or two red, although I haven't tried to many high end brands however

out of financial fear

.

 

[Violet]

Bobbi Brown Oil-free Even Finish. I have oily skin too and use blotting tissues still but this looks totally natural on, isn't greasy at all, gives medium coverage and seems to last. I'm sticking with it!

 

[Jelonek]

The best foundation? Well, I'm fastidious, I always find something, which doesn't suit me

I like Ideal Matte Estee Lauder, Collistar Highlighting foundation (brilliant, but inaccessible in Poland, I go for it to Italy

very popular brand there and esteemed- just like MAC here

). Recently I've tested Kanebo Liquid Finish and I love it- very delicate, invisible, it really well collaborates with sunscreens, I will buy

I don't like non-transfer foundations, but I know that they have many fans

The best way to find your ideal is testing, testing...

Esteelauder Ideal Matte

Refinishing Makeup SPF8

It feels light and more comfortable on my face.

I have quite oily skin. I tried already many brands but last choice seems to be the best. I bought Kanebo Liquid Finish and I don't regret it!

It gives so natural and so fresh look, not dissaper during the day, not creating ugly shades. Its very liquid consistence make it easy to aply even for beginners

And very important is that they have a lot of shades also for the pale complexion!! (this is usually a big problem in Europe)

i've ALWAYS wanted to try kanebo, but i don't think it's sold in the US!

i've heard really good things about their foundations.

I also have oily skin and use Mac select spf 15 and couldn't be more happy with it, I also use MAC's sheer pressed powder and oil control lotion

Try to look for it, and if that's true, buy on ebay

I love Kanebo Liquid Finish, that's my second favorite

Jennifer, Kanebo is sold in US. Try Barneys NewYork, Saks Fifth Ave., and Bergdorf Goodman. Also many states have stores carrying Kanebo products. Here is a link that you can find which states and stores have Kanebo :_smile

I really like Prescriptives Virtual Matte

 

[Liz]

i bought chantecaille future skin foundation and wore it yesterday. it was soooo nice! i'll have to use it a few more times to see how i really like it.

thanks trish for recommending it!

I have been testing La Prairie and GA Luminous Silk, GA Hyperglow. La Prairie is a nice fdtn but it is too expensive and not worth to spend the money. So far I love my Chantecaille and I really like Giorgio Armani fdtn

I did order some other brands (Sisley, Chanel, YSL, Dior, Awake) to try out. I will get the reviews done in September because I am too busy with summer semester and I will go on vacation after that

'Bout EL Double Wear:

Would you guys rec this for someone who breaks out extremely easily?

Also, has anybody tried MaxFactor Lasting Performance? I hear MF is very good for pale people with pink undertones, which is exactly what I am.

[cassiopeia37]

my favourite has got to be chanel's in double perfection creme poudre - i use opaline and naturel - its got a really nice matte finish as it is cream to powder, has spf and is easy to apply and get even... I also like chantecaille's future skin which is gorgeous!

[FeistyFemme]

I've got a few foundations I like, but none I would yet call a HG...

Px Virtual Skin

BB Moisture Rich

Revlon Colorstay Natural

Physician's Formula Mineral Wear Powder

For liquids, the Px and Revlon are my faves - they could be HGs if I don't ever find anything better, though I'm dying to try Px Flawless!!

I wear the Mineral Wear Powder every day now, and I like it for daily wear.

 

[Liz_Dee]

I have oily - acne prone skin.

Currently i'm using BE foundation 1.2# and i really love it. I put some Mineral veil over the foundation and my skin will stay matte till the afternoon abt 2-3 (usually will look oily when comes to 11am)

2nd choice is Chanel Fluid teint Foundation

 

[Min]

I have yet to find my perfect foundation. I guess someday someone will make one for me

until then I guess ill stick with my Revlon colorstay natural. I loved reg colorstay coverage wise but was way to hard to blend.

 

[krazysexxykool]

By far, TARTE Smooth Operator, nothing and I mean nothing I have ever used can compare.
