What type of foundation do you use? (brand)

I have been using Lancome, which I've been happy with, but I'm out and I'm looking for something light(er) and more powder like for the summer. I have really dry and flaky skin in the winter. Summer time it evens out a lot.

I was thinking of trying Bare Escentuals and I know we've had a lot of discussions about it on here, but can someone recommend what they use?

Sephora....like you have too

I use bare minerals at saphora

it is THE best makeup i have used in my life!!! I love how easy it is and how light it is. no oily residue here!

I don't use anything. I am naturally gorgeous!!

. . . oh wait, no, that's not it, I am too lazy to put on makeup. I'd rather sleep for 5 more minutes.

I don't use anything either. I'm a lazy goose!

When my skin is looking good I adore the Prescriptives Virtual Skin. My other stand by is the MAC stick, I like to put it on with a damp sponge, it evens me out without being make up-ish. But as far as powders go I have no suggestions, except that I hear the Smashbox Halo powder is supposed to be great.

Go to www.makeupalley.com, you can see reviews on everything under the sun and those women are brutal I don't buy any beauty product without checking the reviews there first

I use covergirl.

I use BE and LOVE it

I use Chanel, I really like all of the makeup. I use the liquid foundation when need be but usually I just use the power as cover up and it looks great.

M.A.C I am trying to remember the exact name- it's light and reflective its like a little pregnancy glow minus the bloat!

Same here

I've used MAC studio fix for years, but it tends to be heavy on me... I just started putting it on with a brush instead of the sponge and it seems to help. Just got some Prescriptives powder this week and it seems ok. I'm still looking for something I love.

I've been using the Bare Esscentuals stuff a lot, too... At first I loved it, then it started looking shiny like someone here mentioned happened to them. That's why I'm trying out new things now.

I use Covergirl, the kind that matches your skin tone perfectly, there are literally like 30 different shades or something and it has perfect coverage, it's not too heavy and it matches my skin perfectly, I love it and it's cheap, like $9

Clinique.

I only use it around my eyes though and eye makeup is the only kind I wear. Sometimes I'll put a bit of lipstick on if I look overly drab but that's it. I'm always scared I'll have a "mask".

Aimee - I don't know what shad you would be but I have some medium beige that isn't my color I can send you to try, but you would need the kabuki brush to apply...........
That reminds me I have to send Mel some of that shade too
I saw the starter kit really cheap in Target I think

I don't use any. Not that I'm too lazy to put it on. I just never could figure how to put foundation on so I just don't use it.

Clinique

I use nothing, mainly b/c I can't find anything that doesn't settle into my enlarged pores and fine lines and looks worse than nothing, imo.

Nut'n'honey

Sorry, I'm having a bowl of cheerios.

I use the Bare Escentuals and like it okay. Liked it a lot at first, but sometimes it can seem a little too matte for me if I get too much on. Plus, I'm sorta oily, so if I just happen to scratch my face, I see the makeup under my nails right away. Guess that happens with most foundations, but it just bugs me to see it come off so easily.

For years I used just the Neutrogena concealing powder since they have one with spf 15 in it. Just get it at Target or any drugstore. Which btw, I saw that Target is now carrying BE! I have also used Origins. I really like their sheerest foundation, forget the name, but it really is great for summer I think. Gives you that nice glow without being cakey. I like when foundations moisturize, which this one seems to do. It's more expensive, but I still have the tube after a year or so (I don't wear it everyday though). Other than that, I've also tried Prescriptives which was too heavy for me.

Estee Lauder's Double Wear Estee Lauder and Foundaion Corrector Smoothing Cream. I tried everything, including Bobbi Brown and MAC and Shiseido cache, but it works for me the best.

Good question.......

I always use mineral products in foundation. shades each and everything.
Because its depend on you skin type. If your skin is sensitive then you should use just mineral products, because that have no any side effects.... Direct i say its very good for every type of skin....

Now its depends on you what you lie for you skin....
