What is your most-used foundation?
All-time, probably Guerlain Parure Gold, but in the last few years, La Mer The Soft Fluid.

IT Cosmetics CC Cream.
Estée Lauder Double Wear is my HG foundation. Every couple years or so I’ll try a sample of a different one, but I always come back to ELDW.
MAC Studio Fix Powder and Foundation NC30.
Revlon Colorstay, L’Oréal Anti Redness BB Cream& Dior Backstage
Lancome Renergie foundation. I use it along with Renergie face cream and Genefique serum. I love the plumping effect of all of them combined. Lancome skin care is my favorite. Been using it for years.
Over the past several years, either Fenty’s Profilt’r Hydrating Foundation in 260 or mixes of MAC Pro Longwear Nourishing Waterproof foundation in NW30-NW35 depending on how much sun I’ve picked up despite wearing sunscreen whenever I’m out and about, or using the pool.
As for in my entire lifetime? Revlon Colorstay in Warm Golden (at least that’s what I think the shade name was called?).
All time probably MAC face and body. I do really really miss Guerlain Parure Gold. Loved it. Haven’t tried La Mer but will seek it out
MAC Pro Longwear Waterproof
Probably my most used foundation has been L’Oreal’s True Match foundation in Porcelain Rose, but for the last several months I’ve been using Flower Beauty’s Serum foundation and Skin Illusion foundation in Shell.
For special occasions I use Fenty’s Semi Matte foundation in Porcelain.
Armani luminous silk
Lisa Eldridge. Just about perfect.
Also used to like Armani Luminous Silk, but can’t use it any more because it isn’t cruelty-free.
The last year or so, Laura Geller Baked Balance and Brighten Foundation in Fair (good skin days) and Natasha Denona Foundation X+ in 3N (for days I need higher coverage).
All Time? Nars Radiant Tinted Moisturizer
Recently? Makeup Forever Reboot
MAC Studio Fix Powder Foundation. I also use EL. Double Wear quite often. I think these two are the ones I get back to if I try something new. I find that a lot of foundations stick in my pores, making me look horrid. I need primers with almost all foundations except the ones I mentioned. I like Benefit Pore-fessional or whatever it’s called.
