foundation?
so i've tried a ton of foundations.. but i think the one that i thought i loved isn't working for me anymore. i need full coverage.. my face is very uneven.. maybe i just need a clairsonic.. but that's another story..
what kind do you use?

This! I love it...
Another Bare Minerals fan here! I find it works best with a good primer underneath. Their Prime Time brightening primer is fantastic.
I will say, foundation will go on better if your skin is in good shape. I haven't gotten a clarisonic yet, but finding skin products that worked for my skin made a huge difference a few years back. I can wear almost any foundation/tinted moisturizer now.
You might pop into Sephora and have their team recommend a foundation for your skin. There are sooo many options, and Sephora has a good range of brands for you to try.

I wasn't a big fan of bare minerals, I tried it for over a year and always felt it was lacking.
I then did Mac and several other Sephora brands before getting Cover Girl and loving it.
I'm also not a bare minerals fan, and I don't even need that much coverage.
My sister's friend who's a make-up artist recommends Laura Mercier silk creme foundation for ultra coverage. Make up for ever hd is also good, as is Mac studio fix. I would try a bunch of samples before you decide. You can try both Laura Mercier and Make up for ever HD at Sephora. Mac is at Nordstrom (LM is also at Nordstrom), and stand-alone stores.
I personally love Burberry foundation, but I don't need as much coverage.
i'm also anti-bare minerals- i felt like it clumped up in my "lines" (i don't even have (obvious) lines, but it GAVE me lines!).
i currently use mary kay liquid, but i also have MK liquid to powder (or is it powder-to-liquid) that works well..
before i used i think it's loreal true match (perfect match?)--it's the one that beyonce advertises for. that one works really well, too, and it's very cheap.

jumped ship to the new and improved nest. back to TB for baby boards.
i felt the same about bareminerals.. if i used the concealer brush, i felt like i could see it in pics.
i used mac studiofix for a long time and it never was that great. i always used to always use a mac primer but i've been out for a month or so.
i currently use a maybelline product and it's ok.. i just want something more. i used to use covergirl for forever!
anyway.. maybe i should try loreal true match, just to see what it's like.
I (like a lot of girls on F&B) love Laura Mercier. I use the tinted moisturizer, which I think you should try even though you say you think you need full coverage, you might like it and realize you don't need that much. But, if you don't like it, she also has a regular foundation that's really lovely. It's pricey, but I don't use much and apply it with my fingers, I think I can make a bottle last almost a year! (one trick is that I put it in one of those sample containers they give you at Nordstrom and it keeps me from squirting out a ton, I just dip my finger in it to get just as much as I need).
Anyway, have them put it on you and/or get some samples!
