Well I'm still in the search for that perfect foundation..(my face is oily)I want one that wears on and on and that makes me look flawlessand glowing ..Here's the one's I've tried:

Clinique: Yuck!

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 have oily skin and really like the bare minerals powder foundation. Not a real heavy coverage though.

CoverGirl CG Smoothers tinted moisturizer

Estee Lauder Double Wear (tried my mom's once... really nice!)

Bare Minerals

Thanks!

MAC Hyper Real

Maybelline True Illusion

 
i love prescriptives custom blend. when you go to the counter they do a "color match" that identifies your base skin tone. if you have problems with oil they can add an oil control gel to your foundation. they mix it right in front of you so that you can try it as they mix. you don't have to leave until your perfectly satifisfied. you get amazing coverage in your custom skin tone. it may be pricey at $55, but your skin will be flawless. i was using MAC and one day i decided to splurge and try prescriptives. now i wouldn't wear anything else. people don't even know i'm wearing makeup. my skin is also acne prone and i've never had a problems with breakouts or clogged pores. in my book, way worth the price!

The Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation makes my skin look flawless, and the coverage is great too....

right now i use laura mercier tinted moisturizer which makes my skin look great even though it doesn't have a lot of coverage. it just evens out my skin tone and stuff.

 
I use Becca Luminous Skin Colour spf 20 (liquid foundation) and I set it with MAC Studio Fix. I can't afford the Becca Loose Powder right now

I have very oily, acne-prone skin, and right now I'm using L'Oreal Mattique. It's probably not the most amazing foundation ever but it is the best I've tried. I like the medium coverage it gives, it's non-comedogenic (won't clog pores), and matches my skintone very well. (Many foundations are too dark for my pale skin.

)

However, the thing that works best for my oily skin is my Cover Girl Professional Loose Powder! (hehe, this is probably the fifth thread I've had to plug this product in!) All the other loose powders I've tried (even department store brands) still left my face shiny in only 2-3 hours. But with this CG powder, my face is completely matte after 3 hours and is barely shiny at the end of the day with no touch-ups! It also sets my mu and keeps my foundation, concealor, and eyeshadow (when I use foundation and the loose powder as an e/s base) all day. This stuff definitely makes up for any defficiencies my foundation or concealor may have

I'm gonna have to say Bare Escentuals:icon_love I will never put liquid on my face again.

I have extremely oily skin. Right now I'm using Shiseido Fluid Foundation and I'm really liking it.

It's probably one of the first foundations that I'll use up entirely.

Ash, Neiman Marcus carries Chantecaille items. You can get a sample if you go to the counter or even if you call them. If not, order it online neimanmarcus.com and if you don't like it, you can return it using the same box (they have prepaid postage too

) and get your money back. I have it and it is really a nice fdtn.

Mine are Chantecaille Future Skin and/or Chantecaille Real Skin Foundation.

La Prairie Caviar Foundation SPF 15 and La Prairie Cellular Treatment Foundation Satin SPF 15

I received my Armani fdtn samples today so I will be trying them in a few days.
