All day foundation

Anna , on December 24, 2017 at 1:11 AM Posted in Hair and Makeup 0 19
Anyone have recommendations for foundation for my picky face?? I’m so nervous about finding one for my big day. I’ve tried so many and they all fail in some way even with good primer and setting spray. I have combination skin more on the oily side, redness that always shows through (so I need full coverage), large pores on my cheeks that bad foundations end up higlighting and worst of all, my makeup has been sliding so bad. Even when I set it with powder and urban decay makeup setting spray. I’ve tried several popular drugstore foundations and MAC’s face and body foundation.

    I am doing YSL all hours foundation and Coty airspun powder. I am always oily and this is a great special occasion combo. It's long-lasting and no flashback for flash photos. Smiley smile

    Obsessed with Laura Mercier all day foundation and Dior Airflash with the laura mercier translucent powder.They give you the natural flawless appearance. To help with correction use a color correcting base and any foundation you like would work Smiley smile

    Wow! I watched some videos on YouTube about YSL foundation and it looks amazing! Does yours have SPF in it? So far the ones I’ve seen do

    Estee Lauder Doublewear foundation with IT Bye Bye pores powder works well for me for fuller coverage. Otherwise i use Uban Decay Naked Skin for a more day-to-day foundation.

    One thing that helps with my textured spots is that I press things in instead of rubbing. So I'll use my beauty blender to pick up and apply my primer, foundation and powder.

    Mac Pro Longwear Liquid Foundation. & I strongly recommend Urban Decay’s All Nighter Setting Spray which prevents your makeup from sliding, etc.

    It does have a spf, which is why I generally set it with the coty airspun. It's controls my oil pretty well on its own though.

    I have very sensitive and combination skin and have tried EVERY foundation and nothing is better than Esther lauder doublewear. It’s great coverage and really does last all day. So happy I found it- definitely recommend it!Smiley smile

    I've been pleasantly happy with younique foundation and powder. I have combination skin and redness and younique is the only product so far to give me long lasting coverage with very minimal shine.

    With your IT Powder, have you ever tried the “powder before foundation” method? After reading your recommendation I watched some YouTube videos on it and it looks like it works really well for that!

    I tried it once and it was a little heavy feeling for me. It's worth a try though!

    I have similar skin issues. My artist for the wedding introduced me to Makeup For Ever. It works great! Sometimes add a dab of moisturizer to it for the dry flaky parts of my skin. Also liked Bobby Brown but that didn't hide redness as much.

    I have oily skin, acne, and a lot of redness and scarring from it. I’ve been using Clinique’s Even Better foundation and I can’t recommend it enough! My skin is usually an oily mess about halfway through every single day, and this foundation manages to keep me matte allll day long!
