Foundation

What foundation do you use?  I am thinking this may be a product I may shell out more money for than I do my other products - I have yet to find a drugstore brand I'm satisfied with. 

Side note - I cannot wear makeup with SPF in it - I will break out into a rash all over my face.  So that also adds to my challenge.

Oh that stinks, I love my stuff, but it is SPF 15, here it is.

I really like MAC's products, and they have a few other loose foundation powders (I hate liquid foundation).  Their stuff lasts really long, I wear it almost every day (except days I don't leave the house, haha).  The one I am on now I started in January.

Can you get a sample of the brand you are wanting to try?  Which brand is it?

I use bare minerals, so I have no suggestions.

what's the deal with the spf, can you not wear sunscreen at all?

I use Bare Minerals, but it's got SPF15 in it, so that wouldn't work.  I know Mary Kay's foundation doesn't have SPF in it...  I don't know if that helps though...

I"ve been using this one lately & like it. I can't feel it after I put it on (like most others I've tried) & it doesn't make me oily at all.

I have the same issue. I can wear sunscreen, the issue comes in when I put SPF on my face EVERY SINGLE DAY. Then my skin turns to *** after a few days/week.

I recommend Cargo's oil free foundation. It is light, the packaging is really easy to use and environmentally friendly, it goes on evenly and lasts all day long. I love it.

Also, Ulta has a 30 day return policy. If you get a foundation and hate it, you can return it.

I tried to edit my bad spelling and it turned into 2 posts and won't let me delete one.  Stupid Nest....

Yes I can wear sunscreen - it's whatever the companies put in to make the SPF and the makeup combine correctly.  I have spoken to a few makeup counter people and there are a handful of us girls who have skin that doesn't agree with that ingredient.

I use Mary Kay foundation. I use the liquid as well as the mineral powder foundation. I like them both.

I use Cargo foundation. I typicall mix it with Nuetrogena to get the exact color I want.  Doesnt' feel too heavy or make me break out.  I also love the container the Cargo comes in.

I use MK medium coverage foundation.  http://www.marykay.com/color/foundations/mediumcoveragefoundation/default.aspx

So far I love it and it goes a long way.  I have had the same container for a year.  It cost $15.  There is also a wide range of colors.
