    Default best foundation?

    Hi girls!

    I use bare minerals/bare escentuals right now but I'm just wondering if any of the girls would have any other good suggestions for foundation (creme, powder or liquid)

    thanks!

    I love Stilla. Their oil free make-up is great, and I'm in love with the tinted moisturizer.

    MAC studio tech is my fav for work. I think it's too thick for day use, but it gives me flawless-looking skin (I like to hide my freckles). If I need something lighter, I use MAC studio fix, which is a powder base. Normally, though, I'm not wearing any makeup unless it's at work. My skin needs to breathe! I wish I could learn to apply the bare minerals, because from what I've heard it's really good for your skin.

    I LOVE bare minerals, it is may fave ever!! I do not like any of the MAC foundations, they all made me break out. I just use their lipglasses and eyeshadows.

    I switch back and forth between BE and MUFE duo mat powder. The MUFE is waaaaay better than MAC studiofix; It doesn't oxidize and turn that weird color.

    Hmm, depends on what you're looking in a foundation.

    For a flawless, polished look you can't go past Giorgio Armani's Luminous Silk (liquid foundation).

    But if you're prone to flaking or breakouts, it's probably not the best for you.

    I love Bobbi Brown's tinted moisturizer. I have very dry skin, so this works better than your average foundation for me. however, it holds up very well when accompanied by a loose powder.

    I agree that MAC is a bit heavy, but I have never used MAC for everyday use, stage makeup only.

    I use MAC's tinted moisturizer and love it. I am not big on foundation but this is perfect for my skin. Not too thick, but workds GREAT.

    For a very natural look when I'm having a good skin day I LOVE Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer. It covers a lot better than you'd think. I'd call it medium with a nice dewy finish.

    For longer lasting, better coverage I used to use MUFE Matte Velvet+ but Dior recently introduced a new foundation called Forever and I think it stays on better and I think it has a better matte finish on it.

    For cheap fixes or when I don't want my expensive crap stolen I bring L'oreal Visible Lift. I tried it on a whim when I was desperate and on vacation. It has a silicone feeling texture kinda like Smashbox primers, glides on well, stays as well as the big boys, and comes in a nice variety of colors (including ass white for you other pasty girls out there hehe)

    I second the Max Factor liquid stuff. It gets a bit drying but I use it in the club. The pan stick doesn't come in a wide enough variety of colors for me to use. I prefer Bobbi Brown pan sticks for that reason, MF's has a nice feel to it though.

    I always mix my base with lotion so i never noticed !! I am also a common shade of caucasian so I never really noticed about the colors either , I guess . Its nice and cheap though , good combo! I haven't tried BB

    I like the tinted moisturizers that Clarins makes even though I'm oily. Their Truly Matte is awesome.
