I was wearing Bare Minerals Matte, over Korres Tinted Moisturizer,
simply because I have very oily skin and quite a lot of acne, and the dewyness of the TM can make me look gross, so I set it with the BM foundation to make everything matte.

Oh, and thank you for the recomendation on the Korres TM, I love it!
I wouldn’t have bought it if it weren’t for your review.

I’m wearing a little bit of mineral foudation in Butterschoth by Lily Lolo. I like it but I’m trying to finish it because I prefer liquid foundations like MAC Sculp or Select..I really love them! Select for the day and Sculpt for the evening 😉

I’m wearing a little bit of foundation stick (MAC or Bobbi Brown) under my eyes to hide the lack of sleep. I love them both. They are solid but go on creamy and blend well.

Always my Estee Lauder’s Double Wear…. as the famous saying goes “i don’t leave home without it” !!!
didn’t find any foundation that gives me the same results.

Just concealer buffed in and then set with a powder.

I don’t really care for it, but I’m too broke to go buy a proper foundation! >.<

Face&Body foundation in C2 by MAC, cause it gives me a bit of coverage and some moisterizing feeling… it’s very cold out here –> 21F

Guerlain Parure Extreme, number 03. It’s a bit too dark for me at the moment, I must have bought it in the summer. Sometimes I think it accentuates rids, but otherwise it is ok.

I’m wearing mineral powder foundation. I have combo to slightly oily skin and this is the only powder that keeps my face looking decent throughout the day.

Due to snow and icy roads school is closed today, we’re not going anywhere, so I’m only wearing Mac MSFN in Medium (just dry). Also I’m trying to let my skin clear after my unfortunate incident with the Lancome foundation (it broke me out).

I wouldn’t normally wear foundation for a day at the office, but I bought Nars Sheer Glow at the weekend and it’s such a joy to apply and wear that I’ve worn it every day since! You can apply spot coverage where you need it, it blends like a dream, and it doesn’t look like a full coverage mask. Today I just put it on my cheekbones and blended it out with a 190 to conceal dark circles under my eyes and to cancel out any redness around my nose.

Today is Prescriptives traceless tint in level one, my HG. I’m so sad prescriptives is discontinued now as I haven’t found a decent tinted moisturiser to replace this yet, argggggggh!!

Bare-faced as usual. I only wear foundation on special occasions that are going to involve lots of photos. Usually it makes me break out, so I have to be willing to risk some bad skin fallout.

Hi, because of the cold down here in Germany I am wearing Foundation: ARMANI Silk. Love it, but it is a bit too dark. I have samples from ARMANI Designer Foundation, which is much better and has a better colour, but it is far too expensive (Armani Silk was a splurge already!).

Imagine the Designer foundation costs 75 Euro – 108 USD. This is stupid, honestly.

For usual I go barefaced!

I actually have pretty good skin and don’t need foundaiton just yet, so I just wear Estee Lauder AeroMatte in Light to deal with occasional oiliness in the T-zone. This works very well and doesn’t look cake-y. Sometimes at night for a more “done” look, I wear Joeuer (sp?) tinted moisturizer.

MUFE HD but I would rather be wearing powder foundation. I only got it b/c everyone says how great it is. I mustve not worn liquid for a long time b/c I dont know what so great about it. Maybe my HUGE pores are not conquerable. LOL

I am wearing Bare Minerals Matte foundation. I am truly loving this foundation and always avoided Bare Minerals due to how it made darker skin appear ashy. The new Matte collection is winner!

today i am wearing MAC mineralized skinfinish natural over some kryolan concealer. lately i have been too lazy to do a whole liquid foundation routine. i’d rather stay warm in bed a few minutes longer. 😉

i usually bounce between MAC studio finish spf 15, ysl teint resist and temptu airpod depending on how my skin feels that day or what i have planned.

chanel teint innocence compact – it was pricey for me but luckily i had a gift card to pay for half of it. I love the coverage – it’s definitely buildable.

I’m wearing studio fix fluid from MAC in NC15, so you can tell i’m very very very pale! I really cant go out on the streets without make up these days, people would think i’m a ghost hahaha!!!

I am wearing Bare Escenutals Med Beige matte and Med Dark reg foundation (yeah…I know, right?) 😀 applied with MAC Fix+ spray.

I am loving the matte/reg foundation combo, even though the color is a hair too dark for me (Im NW43 in MAC Studio Fix liquid). Need to get color matched to my “winter color.” LOL

I have used Sisley oil free foundation for 2 yrs but after finishing my 2nd bottle I started experimenting. I have on a sample of Clarins Everlasting foundation today…going to try my sample Armani Lasting Silk foundation tomorrow.

I’m wearing Smashbox Tinted Moisturizer which is okay. It’s really oily right after I put it on but I just apply MAC Prep and Prime Translucent Powder over and the oiliness goes away and doesn’t come back. The light shade and the medium shade it like NC25 to NC44, respectively. It’s ridiculous, but I’m glad my skin if light enough in the winter to fit the light.

It’s pretty thick so it gives really good coverage. Still feels like a tinted moisturizer though. Not streaky or anything.

I used to wear MAC MSFN but it broke me out and gave me a really caky finish. Liquid is definitely for me!

Bobbi Brown Stick Foundation – it’s okay, nothing special or life changing. I just picked up a sample of Chanel Pro Lumiere to test out! It was tough leaving without buying the entire Spring collection too. LOL.

Bare faced! Spent most of the day making pasta (from scratch!) and gotta go to bed early for work tomorrow. There wasn’t a point in putting any makeup on.

Skinfood’s Aloe Sun BB cream with SPF 20 PA+ (in ‘2’) with MAC’s MSF Natural in Medium Plus. I looove Skinfood’s BB cream. They have different types to suit your skin type whether it be dry or oily, and it offers enough coverage to even out your skin, while being sheer enough that it doesn’t feel heavy, like normal foundation. If it’s not apparent enough, I love it.

On the day you posted this, I was wearing liquid! MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 to be exact. I have been breaking out like CRAZY lately and this is the best full-coverage foundation I own, and it looks SO natural, too.
