    Default Which foundation do you use for no makeup look?

    I use bare minerals but feel like the powder settles into my fine lines. Looking for a barely there liquid foundation for sensitive skin. I like Olay with a touch of sun, wondering if there's anything else on the market that's better. I've tried Clinique's liquid foundation for acne prone skin, it made me break out lol. And tried Bare minerals' liquid foundation, it was ok. Not better than Olay which is a lot cheaper.

    I never wear straight-up foundation. I always mix a little bit of a daily Olay moisturizer (oil-free) with a drugstore foundation. My skin is on the drier side (combination), so when I don't use a moisturizer, I look like I have wrinkles, and the foundation looks terrible.

    Makeup Forever HD Foundation is my go to. NARS sheer glow is great as well.

    Make sure you use a good primer that will make all the difference in the foundation setting in to fine lines.

    A finishing or setting spray that gives a natural look rather than dry you out is important. I stay away from matte products because I have combo skin and they make me look DRY and cakey.

    I use Missha Perfect Cover BB cream or Skin79 BB cream (pink bottle). Korean BB creams are the best for a sheer, natural look.

    If I feel like wearing real foundation I have Clinique foundation for sensitive/acne prone skin. It has salicylic acid in it, which I like because it really prevents breakouts. Normally though I just wear Aveda concealer with dual foundation powder and that is enough. Also good for sensitive skin.

    ETA: Oops I should've finished reading your post lol I guess Clinique didn't work for you. I love Aveda though!

    What is your favorite primer and setting spray?

    For primer I rotate between MAC prep+prime and Smashbox and for setting/finishing spray MAC Fix+ and Urban Decay All Nighter

    Default Re: Which foundation do you use for no makeup look?

    I do a no-makeup look and I really like mixing Maybelline Dream Fresh spf bb cream with their Dream Velvet soft matte foundation. Starting with a clean, just-washed face, I apply 2-3 drops of face oil, massage that in, then mix equal amounts of the bb cream and foundation on the back of my hand, and softly rub on just enough to even out my skin.

    I mix them because the bb cream doesn't provide the coverage that I want, but I haven't really found a sheer/natural-looking foundation for my skin. I like these because they wear well, they don't bother my sensitive skin, and they're cheap.

    Hi, I use Laura Mercier illuminating cream. Bit pricey, but really good and soo natural look. Is a 50 ml i think. Also is good to add pigments (mac) on your daily moisturizer for a glowing natural look. Xx

    I use Neutrogena mineral powder with a makeup setting spray. Keeps its looking dewy and all where it is supposed to be. Another tip, remove your peach fuzz, BUT, and this is a BIG BUT, do not use body razors, especially with acne prone skin. Use those little Noxzema face and bikini trimmers/razor things. The peach fuzz is never very noticeable on my face, but I find my foundation just looks so much more natural when it isn't there. Hth.

    For a clean, no makeup look I use MAC's Prep and Prime skin refined zone treatment (to minimize the appearance of pores), and then I just add concealer or color correcting products to even out my skin tone. These products do the same thing that foundation does for your skin, and they don't make your face look cakey. You can also use a foundation primer by itself or just use moisturizer before applying concealer or color correctors. I like to finish off my look with either a setting spray or setting powder if I want a matte finish. To be honest, I rarely ever use foundation. It's too much for my skin! When I do, I always use a light coverage one. It's good for a natural look too.

    I use MUF BB Cream with concealer (a mix of Amazing & Grenier BB roller concealer) over moisturizer. And a light brushing of setting powder. My face still gets oily, so I just blot with paper through out the day.

    A tinted moisturizer. Badger tinted spf 30. Or just dust a pressed powder over shiny spots. If you MUST conceal blemishes the. Just dab concealer over them, but let that skin BREATHE and show through. Wearing foundation over the entirety of my face looks chalky, dry, maximizes any lines, and looks like a mask.

    I've found that it also makes a big difference to apply your foundation however you like to apply it (fingers or brush), and to then go back over it with a makeup sponge to soak up extra product and push the product into your pores. Makes a huge difference. So I apply my foundation + lotion cavewoman style, let it sink in / dry for a couple of minutes, then go over it with a makeup sponge.

    The second big trick is to pat on powder with a brush after going over your skin with the makeup sponge. It sets the foundation and makes it look noticeably better. I just use a big kabuki brush to do this.

    I use YSL Fusion Ink foundation. It is pricey but it is incredible, it feels like you have nothing on:



    A little bit goes a long, long way. I use 4 dots for my entire face.

    Random makeup trick: whenever I go to the bathroom, while I'm using it, I rip off some toilet paper and gently pat it all over the skin on my face. A great, easy way to touch up your makeup (soaks up oil and picks up extra product that has sunk into creases). Also, multitasking! Obvs I don't do this at home - just when I'm out and wearing makeup.
