what foundation do you wear?

[Bathsheba]

I use Clinique because I once had a patch of eczema on my face and it was the only one that I tried that seemed to let it heal. It also is the only brand that has a shade that matches my skin tone. I don't like a foundation to add colour or a fake tan look... I prefer it to match the actual skin but not to get a washed out appearance that is too pale. Being a fine art graduate I am very aware of colours and subtle shades and most foundations are too orangey. I can't stand "tide marks" on jaw lines which many women get when they choose a shade too dark for their skin tone.

I'd like to choose a more ethical/cheaper brand. Clinique is about $60 a bottle but it lasts me almost a year as a SAHM who doesn't wear it every day. Also i like it's moisturising properties and the fact that it has no fragrance. I think added fragrance in beauty products causes a lot of health issues and isn't good for the skin.

I tried a Miessence (same brand as InLiven) foundation but it didn't suit my skin tone... the range was too limited. I wish they would expand because I like that brand.
