What foundation do you use?

SSM&JLM

So in the last couple months, my facial complexion has changed a bit and my normal foundation looks funky on my face.  I don't know if the change from BCP to the IUD or my derm did give me a retin-A prescription, that I only used sparingly before vacation b/c it makes your skin more sensitive to sun.

I normally use Stila Illuminating Foundation for regular coverage:

And neutrogena healthy skin for a light, tinted moisturizer type coverage:

I haven't had any issues with the neutrogena though, but for better coverage, I need more than it provides.

I use Mary Kay. I've always been really happy with it (even if when I wasn't a consultant). I haven't worn another foundation in 8 years so I'm not much help with suggesting other brands - sorry

I don't wear foundation so I'm no help. Sorry.

I haven't been wearing much lately but in the winter I use L'Oreal True Match and in the summer Sheer coverage (I love this stuff - I get it at BBB and use a 20%  coupon).

if i actually get a chance to put some on, i use MAC.

I don't use foundation, just bronzer, once in a blue moon when I do wear makeup and I like MAC or Estee Lauder

Is it horrible if I say I haven't worn any makeup more than 10 times since having Xander?

While on maternity leave, I wore it twice. Now I only wear it to work or if Nick and I have a date.

Why did I not know you can buy make up at BBB?!

LOL it's just the Sheer Coverage for the most party even though there is one BBB near me that has this whole huge pharmacy-like section that has tons of stuff.

I think Sheer coverage is usually thought of as the 'As Seen On TV' kind of stuff. I just don't want to have to sign up for it and pay for shipping.

I never use foundation. It just looks too heavy on my skin. I remember on my wedding day the lady doing my makeup put some on that was supposed to be like liquid powder. It was nice but I had to get her to take it off. I have also used clinique.

I was going to ask a similar question today.  I guess great minds think alike    I have been noticing over the last few months that my skin tone is no longer even.  I have a lot of red splochy patches on my cheeks and between my eye brows. Also my dark circles are getting worse.  I think I'm going to have to go somewhere to have someone teach me how to put on makeup.  I've never really worn foudation or concealer before (except on zits in high school, but I'm sure I did a poor job of covering them). This is new territory for me.

I'm hoping something like a tinted moisturisor woudl help me... I don't like wearing a ton of foundation, hence why i really have never worn it.

This. I've been doing a lot of tinted moisturizer under mineral powder lately. Feels light, but I still feel like I get good coverage.

I use Arbonne liquid plus pressed powder to set. Oh and concealer because I have terrible scaring. Basically I look like a hot mess without any foundation but hott with it ;-)

I use MakeUp Forever HD Invisible Coverage and it is the BEST foundation I have EVER used in my life. I tend to be one of those make up junkies that bounces from one brand to the other in search of the "next big thing" and I can't tell you how many foundations I've tried. A friend of mine actually does make up & spray tanning for the show Real Housewives of Orange County, so I'm always picking her brain on what she likes to use. Last spring, she recommended this foundation to me when I asked for something that would give me a "dewy, glowy look" and I've been wearing it ever since!

I don't even wear it to work. I will be wearing it on Saturday when we go on our date.

I use Mary Kay mineral powder.  It's very light, which I love.  It does great with balancing out with my freckled face.
