best foundation???

uniquechic

Im finding it really hard to get a good foundation that doesnt look like im wearing a mask!Rimmel used to do one ages ago called natural sensation which i luved but its gone now so what does everyone else recommend??

I have to wear make-up every day for work. Like most I've tried them all but the very best I've come across is Elizabeth Arden Flawless Finish... I went in to Brown Thomas & at the counter they put this thing up to my face & told me what two colours suit me. It's brilliant & I swear by it... it's 28eur in BT's for 30mls but if u have an ebay account you can get 100mls for about the same price! Salon size bottles & they are perfect... It's the best....

Double Wear by Estee Lauder.

Fantastic stuff. Get the right colour and its really natural looking with no lines and it stays on all day.

I used to love that rimmel one too!!
The only foundation for me is photogenic by lancome....its great

uniquechic

is it like the rimmel one?i luved that because it gave coverage but not so much that it looking like you were caked in the stuff!it was natural.Is the lancome like that?

Dior airskin flash (might have the name a bit wrong) its a foundation spray, absolutely brilliant

Kolodny

I use Clinique Soft Finish which I find gives really good coverage but is very light so it evens out my skin tone nicely but doesn't look like I'm wearing foundation at all.

DeiseLass

I normally wear the elizabeth arden too and find it great but i think it is a little too heavy for the summer months. Tried a free sample of the new rimmel foundation and found it excellent. Cant think of the name, sorry!

uniquechic

is it that recover foundation???

OLDYELLAR

I like the maybelline wonder finish foundation . Im not much of a make up gal at all but that covers well and its nice and light and I like the whole powder finish thing without the effort .

DeiseLass

Yeah thats the one uniquechic and its not too pricey either which makes it even better

Mac- they have different types of foundations- in bottle form they have one call Hyper Real which gives you a glow (this is the one I use), it has light reflecting particles in it and gives you a dewy look, really nice and since I started wearing it about a year ago, lots of people have complimented me on it. They have another matt foundation in bottle form. They also have compact foundation that would be for more coverage. I used to be a Maybelline foundation fan cause it was cheap and cheerful, but I kept getting break outs. Since switching my skins been better. Mac is a bit pricey (bout 30 euro I think) but it lasts about 6 months, they also have matching face powders

Chanel is good but pricey. I actually hardly ever wear the stuff. (my Aunt buys it for me cause i'd be broke other wise!). it blends in well and is the best liquid foundation that i know of. you dont get any streakyness or anything.

I like No 7 Radiant Glow Foundation from Boots. Not too pricey, it leaves you with a fresh, dewy look and theres no "mask" effect at all. Its also got SPF 15 in it.

Macs not too bad but my fav is loreal true match

emeraldstar

i like Revlon Color Stay. Good coverage, dries quickly though.

smurfbaby

My new fave is Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk-saw it recommended here and bought it. It gives good coverage and still looks natural. It has a little dispenser pump on the bottle so you can use the exact amount you need which means it should last longer as well

Laura Mercier is brilliant stuff but a tad pricey. I find Max Factor Colour Adapt really good too

~Leanne~

Estee Lauder Ideal Matte compact is very good, no caked look at all. Quite pricey though at €40 and €30 for a re-fill but when applied with a foundation brush it lasts quite a long time.

I got one made up for my skintone at the Prescriptives counter and I really love it! But for everyday wear, Rimmel Recover or Max Factor Lasting Performance (not sure of that name?)

I change my mind about foundations all the time.

Clarins extra firming foundation is great. I use it all the time.

I have just bought the new Rimmel one with the pink top. It seems grand.

Armani is the business though. A real quality foundation.

Wouldn't rate MAC at all.

Benefit playsticks are great for quick and easy foundation. They give a full coverage

It depends on how much coverage you want. I use Double Perfection Creme Poudre. I'd definately recommend it. It gives good coverage but doesn't look like I'm wearing makeup. It turns into a velvety finish and it's ridiculously easy to put on. I use just a half-pea amount and blend it with my fingers. It lasts for ages when used that way. I also use the Pro Correcteur concealer palette. It's brilliant. Pricey but lasts-I've only bought 2 in about 5 years and that's only cause I dropped and broke the first one! Their compact powder's great too. I use it with a big brush and blend it all over my face after foundation and concealer. It lasts so much longer than the cheaper ones I've tried. I bought a replacement powder compact about 6+ months ago because my current one looked a bit empty. I still haven't had to open it yet. I could go on for ages but I'll just say I started using chanel about 5 years ago after being pissed off with wasting money on bad foundations and I've never looked back.
