Good foundation brand?

By serenek Posted on September 29, 2008 - 1:40pm 

I'm looking for a good foundation brand. I'm not really looking at specific shades and tones, I just want to know what a

good brand is when my current foundation runs out. I'm using Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse and i like it fine

but i kinda want to shake things up! I just dont want liquid foundation.

I LOVE Bobbi Brown's Moisturizing Foundation. It makes my skin look very natural and not made up at all.

The best foundation out has GOT to be Cover FX! They have over 30 colors and comes in liquid, cream, powder, and mineral. Get color matched anywhere they sell the product.

It's truly changed my life. And their skin prep is god sent.

It's a little expensive but it lasts forever. Before you waste your time/money with any other foundation check this out :)

My new fave is Clinique's Almost Powder. I have super-oily skin, so everything looks cakey on me if I'm not careful. My second fave is Laura Mercier's tinted moisturizer.

The best foundation, though, is the kind that works with your skin. I think it's harder to find a formula that works with skin type than it is to find the right color. It's worth it to go to Sephora or someplace where you can talk to an expert, get a sample, and most importantly, take it back if it doesn't work!!

You've GOT to try Bare Minerals. I've been unsatisfied with my foundations and cover ups for years now. Today I got a Bare Minerals starter box at Sephora (60$ but totally, totally, worth it) I cleaned my face and applied it with the instructions and my skin looks PERFECT. it's unbelievable, you will be soo happy you tried this

I really like Physicians Formula Mineral Wear. It lasts long and provides good coverage. Overall, Physicans formula is a good brand IMO. Your best bet is getting some samples, or, stop by a department store or a sephora and try out different products.

Have you considered Estée Lauder Individualist Natural Finish Makeup? I haven't tried it yet but I'm going to.
