I used to wear Prescriptives because my dermatologist insisted that they were the only brand that was "truly" noncomedogenic. (But when Prescriptives left my town I switched to other brands.) I never tried their custom blend (amazingly their regular foundations actually matched my skin) .... I used to wear their Traceless foundation after they discontinued the first one I wore, but it was so sheer I might as well not have worn foundation at all. Not worth the $27

However maybe their other foundations with more coverage are still good!

I'm really into mineral foundations right now. I use Aromaleigh, but Jane Iredale is nice too. Aside from that, I love Chanel's Double Perfection foundation. I use the powder compact, but they have a cream form as well that's really nice.

I've always wanted to try this, but my skin tone changes so much between the winter/summer and I'd probably have to get like 4 bottles!! lol I get dark in the summer, and I'm white in the winter... spring & fall Im a little inbetween

It lasts the full day on my oily skin and i can get sheer or full coverage from it. (for sheer, i just mix with regular moisturiser). I absolutely LOVE it!

I always use a powder foundation because I don't like heavy liquid or cream foundations. My skin is pretty good except for those pesky breakouts and large pores, so I'm not too demanding on my foundation. I was using Bare Escentuals, but then they were out of my shade at the store. Clinique was the next counter I hit so I ended up with Clinique Oil-free City base foundation.

Hi smallpuppy,

I'm kinda responding late to this thread...but I just switched over to Jane Iredale's Amazing Base. It's a mineral makeup. Feels light and comfortable, and has remarkable coverage. I was using Bare Escentuals, but it just stopped working for me.

Lancome Photogenic: doesn't last and by the end of the day I look horrible!

Bourjois Perfect Fluid: Hated the coverage..perfect for people that have a perfect complexion

Origins: Not bad but still not what I'm looking for

Dermablend: Awesome coverage (full) but too heavy on face

And I'm not even gonna talk about Covergirl, Maybelline,etc!!!

What are the foundations you currently use? And if you know of one that will make heads turn please let me know!!!

I too use Bare Essentuals and MAC's select SPF15 foundation.

I'm still loving my MAC Moistureblend, but Scarlette did get me also loving that Dream Matte Mousse!

 

[CzarnyElf]

Neutrogena Clean Tint-is very light and good for my sensitive/acne prone skin

 

[vanilla_sky]

i tried more expensive stuff as well as drugstore brands... so far color adapt by max factor is my number one. doesn't give much coverage, is almost invisible, covers small imperfections, evens out skin color and overall makes the skin look much more healthy and pretty. finally, what is very important to me - it is really easy to apply.

 

[Never2muchMU]

I agree with you and Msfashionguru too. I've been using Studio Fix for quite a while now and have never had any problems with it. It really makes my skin look flawless and natural! I love it!!:icon_love
