It’s been so long, I can’t remember. I did use IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Redness on my cheek last week but that’s the closest I’ve come to foundation in ages!
Tarte Face Tape in 22N
MAC Studio Fix Foundation and Powder NC30
I purchased the NARS Radiant Light Reflecting foundation two months ago and am absolutely in love with it. It works really well for me and I love that I can do just a light application for day and build it up if I want to for any events. Even though I have an oily t-zone and “radiant” scared me off initially, it doesn’t get oil slicky like many foundations can on me.
Lately its been Hourglass Ambient Soft Glow foundation or the Chantecaille oil free gel foundation which has a pudding consistency and I’m pretty happy with both…Having very dry skin and living in the desert I want a long lasting but not dry looking foundation that gives a soft baby skin look…..most are either too glowy oily and not long lasting or are long lasting but are too dry, parched looking…the ones above have worked pretty well for me…..I’m always open to any recommendations!
I have heard very good things about the new Hourglass foundation. Do you follow Charlotte Holdcroft on YouTube? She has similar skin type and tastes to you.
Lisa Eldridge The Foundation in shade 9. It’s gorgeous, natural looking and very long lasting! I love it.
Revlon Colorstay
It Cosmetics CC in Medium
Fenty Profilt’r Hydrating Foundation in 260. Love this formula even though my skin veers more oily/combination type.
Laura Geller Baked Balance and Brighten Foundation.
Jones Road WTF in shade light. Light coverage that looks natural and feels ultra comfortable on my face.
Estée Lauder Double Wear in Sand
BareMinerals classic mineral foundation – applied at the office to look a little more elegant on Zoom calls. Easy to apply, subtle, and comfortable.
I’m going to wear Wet n Wild’s dewy photo focus foundation tonight when I go to a drag show to perform- it takes a couple of layers for full coverage, but I need it to be sheer and dewy to make up for an eczema flare up. (Many thanks to my MUA friend for this tip on achieving full coverage while experiencing eczema!)
The last foundation that I wore, which is today, is L’Oreal’s True Match foundation in porcelain rose.
Lancome Dual Finish powder foundation
Today I wore It Cosmetics Nude Glow but 5 days out of 7 I wear Mac F&B.
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer
Oh, I just tried a new one that was really amazing! It’s the Sensitive Skin Serum Foundation from Neutrogena.
Chanel NO 1 in B30. I’m loving this foundation. It checked all the boxes for me. I tend to use it more sheerly, but it can be built up as necessary. And it’s very kind to my mature, slightly dry skin. It doesn’t hurt that this shade is exactly perfect for me this time of year.
Lisa Eldridge Seamless Skin Foundation in no. 7.
Dior Backstage in 1W. It’s my favorite everyday foundation.
MAC Studio Fix Powder Foundation.
Estée Lauder futurist makeup spf 45 colour 2c3 fresco. It is a great match something I have trouble finding
I am using the Cle’ de Peau Radiant Fluid Foundation “natural” in O30 it’s perfect for my skin type and color!
MACS studio fix NC50
Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk shade 1.5
Glossier Skin Tint (if that counts as foundation)
I found a tube of Rimmel Stay Matte and have been mixing it with my day cream. I project panning my base products.
Charlotte Tilbury Light Wonder
Clinique Even Better Clinical Serum Foundation
