I usually wear Revlon new complexion, its nice & light & the colour suits me well. However I've just purchased Mac studio fix for my wedding & its a stunning foundation.
Napolean does a range that you can get in Target. Can't remember what the range is called, but the foundation tubes are around $45. I really like this foundation.
I use the Napolean Auto-Pilot Primer too, which you can't get at Target, but sells for about $70 at Myers / DJs underneath.
I really, really want to get the Napolean Auto Pilot pore filler too but its rather expensive for a tiny tube and I really dont wear make-up that much to justify it.
Primer makes all the difference doesnt it? The mac one is fantastic but I've also found the revlon primer to be great as well
:bump: for another member!
LOL.... anyone with pigmentation should try the new Clinque "even better" foundation. I have the worst pigmentation going on from my last pg and it looks amazing. I even have a scar from a skin cancer I had removed on my cheek and it covers that without the slathered on look. Cost me $48 for a tube and I don't really use much each time, even though I do apply it with a brush.
I recently bought a mineral foundation from Inika Mineral Cosmetics. I love Inika because they don't test on animals or contain toxic nasties. Also, I am quite fair, and their range is suitable for very fair to very dark skin tones.
I just don't remember to wear it!
I'll be looking into that new Clinique foundation Nic! Interesting that you say it comes in a tube. I often get frustrated with their bottles... you can't get that last little bit out! Before I used Clinique I used to use foundations that came in tubes and was able to snip it open at the end and get a few more "wears" out of it. I don't use very much each time. I assume "Even Better" comes in fair colours? I wear the Just Neutral in their Dewy Smooth range ATM witch is quite fair.
I have been wearing the Mabeline Liquid Mineral foundation lately but this morning I decided to use my Avon Mineral powder and I got a really big compliment on how my make up was done today. I find my mineral powder is quite light so I put enough blush on my cheeks and T-Zone to add some natural looking colour without looking over done.
Loreal true match for me; i like it but im still trying to find a foundation i LOVE. I have freckles that i just hate and want to find a foundation to cover them without looking like i used a spatula to apply my make up hehe
Geez, i've tried that many & still can't quite find that perfect one ... Don't like 'em too thick & heavy or that pick up & make your lil facial hairs more obvious ... don't like 'em so thin they don't cover what i want covered ...
I like coverage BUT where my skin still feels like it's breathing :rolleyes:
I tried a couple of mineral ones BUT they aint great for older woman as they emphasis even the tinest wrinkles on side temples, etc ... :doh:
Have tried REVLON Colourstay Active, is labellled Light Makeup BUT feels so darn heavy :rolleyes:
***** The one i've been using for sometime which i don't mind but not too crazy about the bit of glitter effect (illuminating) in it is RIMMEL RECOVER in tube ;)
... BATH, me too only like the foundations in a tube, also i think more hygienic then dipping fingers into a bottle :D
smiles, just a tip that I got from the Clinique make up artist about fine facial hairs showing up through foundation. Use a brush and brush the make up upwards first and then brush it down - it definately works.
Thanks Nic ... i do that with my finger tips but never thought of using a brush :rolleyes: ... Nic, What sort of brush would be affective to use ... like which one do you know & where to buy it ?? (No worries if your not sure ;))
The Rimmel one i'm using doesn't seem to show it up much but would be great to try if i ever use a different foundation ... Hey, THANKS a million for the tip :dance:
I use Clinique. It is what my Mum bought me when I was a teenager and I just kept with it. I really love it and haven't found a reason to try anything else!
I'm curious as to what Clinique Foundation are you all wearing ???
... As i just jumped on the Clinique website & there are so many ones :rolleyes:
... My keeping in mind we all have different skin types ;)
smiles - with the brush, the chick that did my makeup stopped me from spending $84 on a foundation brush and told me to buy the manicare one for $12 cause it was exactly the same. Manicare is all that stuff you get for your feet and nail clippers and stuff, maybe priceline have it, I did get mine from Myer. It's called exactly that, a foundation brush.
I use the Superbalanced Makeup Foundation in 02. Fair with the Stay-Matte Sheer Pressed Powder in Stay Buff.:
If you have a Clinique stand near you, you can ask them to help you try it all out. My Mum just took me there and they did my entire face so I could see if I liked it. Was pretty fab!
Thanks Nic, looks like i will head into Priceline for one (or Myer) ... Sorry to be a bother BUT is it labelled a ' Foundation brush ' ?? as i have no idea what the brush looks like :rolleyes:
Jitterbug & Bath ... reckon i will try out a Clinique one for sure (and soon) ;)
