Make-up: foundation

What do you use?  I think I need to try a foundation.  Normally I just wear powder as a foundation, but (insert tears) it seems to be highlighting those lovely wrinkles Crying.  So I'm wondering if a foundation would help fill in those spots?

Oh, and while I'm at it, do you use an eye moisturizer?  That seems to be the area hit worst with these wrinkles.  Boo to aging.

Maybe I should hit up Sephora - do they let you try multiple items?  I think I remember from a post Meghann put up that they let you return used items as well if it doesn't work out?

Re: Make-up: foundation

  • So, I use bare escentuals foundation for the most part. but these days, I feel like it isn't working...I always look tired :(

    But when I don't, I actually use a mix of L'oreal photo finish & Nars (I think an illuminating one? I need to check).

    Nars (I bought it at Sephora) is pretty light coverage and the L'oreal is thicker...I find combining them  is perfect...

    I think Sephora can give you some samples of foundation for you to try for sure.

  • I use the Bare Minerals too.  If I've got dark circles under my eyes, which is almost always since I live in a constant state of sleep-deprived, I use the Bisque for that.  And I use BareVitamins around my eyes first.
  • I haven't escalated to foundation yet.

    I use Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer and then finish it with loose powder.

  • I'm no help.  I'm powder only girl myself.  The only times I've used foundation were for special events like my wedding.  I believe they used Clinique on me.  They are wonderful about matching the right foundation to your skin and the coverage you want:)

  • I use Clinique foundation. They have one that is like ultra sheer. Also they just came out with a tinted moisturizer that I *love*. I was using one from Arbonne that was kind of meh, but the Clinique one is great. I use it almost everyday.
  • I use MAC Studio Fix and love it! I'm a MAC girl, so I've never really used anything else.

  • The people that work at Sephora are wonderful, and should let you try stuff.  And yes, if you buy something and don't like it, you can return it.  Just hold onto your receipt until you are sure that you want to keep it. 

    I don't use foundation or powder, so I'm no help there, but I do use an eye moisturizer.  I am using Olay eye illuminator, (or something like that).  I like it because it brightens the area under my eyes, and they feel super soft.  I also tried the Aveeno eye moisturizer and liked that.  I got both at Target.

  • I also use Bare Minerals and I love it!!! I've never been so happy with makeup and my skin has improved quite a bit since I've been using it. Anyhow, I did my Moms makeup with it before my sisters rehearsal dinner and it made her look less wrinkled. I'm not sure how since it's a loose powder, but it did. I would give it a try if you can. If you have a Bare Escentals store, they will put some on you and if not you can buy a trial kit.
