    Default Which Foundation Make up do you use?

    I'm currently using Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse. Love it, but It makes me break out, I think.
    I tried Physician's Formula Mineral Wear, but it doesn't cover so well and dries the shit out of my skin.
    I used to use Mac concealer as an all over foundation and it rocked, like a magic eraser for your face, haha. But too many days in a row and it makes me break out. (Im noticing a pattern in my skin here.. I break out alot, heh). I thought about trying some acne medication like proactive, etc. but when I don't wear makeup for a day or two my face is flawless.

    Anyway, I'm looking for some suggestions on foundation that will last long hours and covers well and doesn't... make me break out. What's your experiance with differant brands?

    I use MAC's Studio Fix liquid, but it seems like you've already went that route. And I have heard that it does make people break out.

    I used to use Neutrogena's SkinClearing Foundation and never even had so much as a clogged pore. In fact I would break out when I didn't wear it for a few days! http://www.neutrogena.com/CosmeticsD...roductLineID=4

    I use Laura Mercier Concealer, I love it. When I'm working I put it all over and use Benefit powder. I break out when I use ANYTHING everyday.

    I've recently switched to MUFE Mat Velvet foundation for work and been extremely happy.

    You should try a makeup base under your foundation. MAC makes one that I use.

    I've got a concealer from Clinique called 'superfit makeup' that hasn't caused any break outs for me and the coverage is pretty good since I don't have the best skin.

    Depends on how my skin is that day, and what I'll be doing. I chose between Bare Minerals (sometimes I use it as concealer & makeup), Chanel multi-vitamin sheer makeup, and Fresh (just their concealer, if my skins a little too dry to use just the Bare Minerals, or if I'm wearing Chanel foundation that day). I use Chanel pressed powder, or MAC Studio Fix as a finish if I need more staying power.

    I use Mac's Tinted Moisturizer. Luckily I have never had problem skin (knock on wood) and its light but it covers nicely. Its def not as thick as a foundation.

    Lysondra got me hooked on Diorskin Forever Before that I was using maybelline dream matte mouse, which was good but didn't last long. I'm always on the lookout for good foundations though.

    Is that a Mineral Powder foundation ahmeerah? How do they work?

    I understand you apply the powder with a foundation brush dry, so I dont understand how it could give good enough coverage?

    ^^^^ Yep.

    In terms of coverage, you are in control of how much powder is used. Plus the Mineral Veil acts like a skin perfecter - like a softening camera lense. Is there a Sephora close to you? You can try it out there.

    Also BM doesnt work for everyone. But a lot of people, like me, swear by it.

    I just did a youtube search and here's a girl putting some BM on:

    Thanks for that, Ill give it a bash. Sounds so much simpler than faffing about with foundation liquids.
    Cant see it working in Summer though, I imagine it clumping when I sweat like all powders do *sighs*

    I started work at 10am today and got home just now, midnight. I did 4 shows and waitressed for two hours.

    My foundation is still on.

    Can't say the same for my clothes.

    Chanel's Vitalumiere in winter, in summer Teint Fluide Universel, which is now discontinued, so I'm on the hunt for a replacement. Beccas Luminous skin colour and Diorskin are also favs.

    Thanks, I've gotta try that. I'm heading to Dillards to look at summer colors this weekend anyway.

    I might take a look at their tm as well, Becca was my hg tinted moisturizer, but it's getting impossible to find.
