Best fuller coverage make up?

oohlala

Any suggestions?

I used to use mac moistureblend for fuller coverage which was a heavier medium coverage but its been discontinued
The woman in mac said studio sculpt would be the next best thing, has anyone used it? I'm open to compact or liquid etc anything except powder. Mac said the only full coverage product they had was powder.
Its just for occassional big nights out.

Thanks for any help.

illamasqua rich liquid foundation- it is THE highest coverage foundation ever!

its really pigmented and covers every single blemish! its used on photoshoots and stuff too so you know it photographs well. it ranges from paper white to black.it doesnt feel heavy at all and doesnt cause break outs- its only flaw is that it clings to dry patches so if you get a few chapped areas it willwithout a doubt highlight them, but if you use it with their satin primer (or any for that matter!) its not as bad and you can also mix it with this to lighten the coverage as well. its amazing but very very full coverage so if you are wary of that then maybe try their cream foundation instead!

rich liquid is amazing though!! and not really for everyday wear, more for making an impact- which is basically their slogan- 'make up for your alter ego'. you can get it in bt2 on grafton street or on their website but id strongly recommend trying the shades cause there are so many.

i can't stand double wear, i used to use it and it wrecked my skin. I also didn't find the coverage great.

Is the illamasqua in dundrum? About how much is it?


Thanks!!!!

nope its only in bt2, Grafton St. or debenhams in cork or somewhere else thats not dublin (i live in dublin so didnt check!), not sure where!

its great! check out their website! i love their pressed powder too, its really light in texture and colour so its not one bit cakey! i never wore powder before i tried theirs, i cant say enough great things about their products! best of luck whatever you choose!

have you tried Revlon Colourstay? I use it, quite good coverage.

Vichy Dermablend has 25% more pigmentation than most foundations. It's for people with scars/blemishes/birthmarks....even tattoos they want to cover up. It's used by lots of make up artists.

I use Revlon Colourstay and it gives really good coverage.

you want mac full coverage you can buy it in BT. its 31e. I only use it for nights out. Its brill covers everything and you dont need to top it up during the night. I think its more of a pro product really. I just went into BT in grafton st and asked for it.

or sometimes on a night out. I just use sally hansen on my face its great as well.

Likewise I used moistureblend but I use studio fix fluid SPF15 from MAC now and its great. Stays put all night and gives great coverage aswell!
I found the studio sculpt one way too heavy on my face and it just didnt agree with my skin! Maybe that was just me though!! :rolleyes:

I bought the studio sculpt and i find it rubbish. Its not a liquid at all, its more like a gel so is hard to apply and doesn't seem to give the same coverage as moistureblend. It also doesn't last, even with a primer. I got the illamasqua cream foundation (asked for rich liquid but this was recommended) and i haven't used it yet. Not bad value though at €21! If i could find what i wanted i would pay €100!!!!

Does anyone know if mac full coverage os available at the airport? I asked a girl in bt and she was just looking at me like i was crazy, really put me off so i left.


I'm not looking for complete coverage but i am looking for full coverage. Any other ideas? Will have a look at the revlon one today. think i might try sell the mac sculpt on adverts!

I might try this. However, I would be interested in finding a full cover foundation that is mineral based or by a natural brand such as Avada. Any suggestions?

I've been using revlon colourstay for about a month now...I love it, great coverage and lasts for ages...smells a bit like paint, but once its on your face its grand. I'm really pale and usually the lightest shades of makeup are too dark for me, but the palest colourstay is my exact skin colour. Its great! Really recommend it!

leesmom

mac havent discontinued full coverage, the same stores that have always sold it still do. BT on grafton street still has it and they said they are not discontinuing it

+1 on Mac's Full Coverage... its only available in BT Grafton Street...

I love it love it love it!! it is really full coverage when applied with a brush and lasts on my face for aggggeeeessss!! but it can also be sheered down if you apply it with a damp make up sponge so its perfect for day time wear too... pretty handy if your on a budget and dont want to buy two different fondations!

I was looking at Revlon Photo ready in superdrug the other day. Grand big bottle for like 17 euro. Has anyone used it? If you have would you reccommend it?

Personally I use bourjois 10 hour sleep effect. It gives me nice coverage but I just foundation to sort out my skin tone more than anything else! It smells soooo good too!

I hated Revlon Photo Ready, it was greasy and not good coverage at all. Awful.

I use Revlon Colourstay though and I love it! Great coverage. I do have to add a little bit of moisturiser to it though as it is a bit too thick for me but otherwise it's great!

I don't like the way colourstay doesn't seem to have a squeezy top thing! It could save alot of hassle. I tried Revlon on my face and they seem to have a few nice pale shades so I might be able to pull them off!

thanks everyone!!!!


I will try the illamasqua cream one with a brush and see if its better, didn't like it with the sponge.

Won't get to bts to try themac one for a while but i'm going through airport today an i'm told they might have moistureblend left! As dundrum still have some but not in my shade nc15

I got revlon colourstay yesterday in buff. Boots had a load of the sand beige testers but the colour looked a lot daker so fingers crossed this one will do the job.

I'm not going near double wear again as i don't think it was very heavy coverage and also it really ruined my skin. I had flakey patches after wearing it for a few weeks and my skin looked wrecked. no amount of moisturiser or exfoliation etc would fix it.

So hopefully this will work well!!!! I think the ones i've bought that i'm not going to use i will just sell on advert when i get back. I've about 15 foundations at the minute!!!! I use lighter ones day to day but for a long work day or an even i need full coverage!!!


Also primer-sofar i have laura mercier and illamasqua. Anybody experience of these and whih is best. I don't find the laura mercier holds my make up much longer than usual


Thanks again xxxxxxx
