I bought bare escentuals once and found it to be a bit wierd. From my experience, I noticed the following:

If you reapply during the day to freshen up it starts to look cakey really fast.

Ive never seen it cover up any scars or blemishes.

It doesnt last even half as long as a regular foundation would.

It gets oily very quickly.

really? i thought it is a good foundation which covers blemishes and oil free …

Re: Foundation 101

I’m not really a fan of mineral make-up, it soaks-up all the sebum on your skin and makes the skin feel really dry. It also causes the skin to produce more oil. Shanum, if you need full-coverage the make-up base will be heavy and won’t be ‘natural’. Unless you use a concealer on the blemishes and foundation on the rest of your face.

Re: Foundation 101

AB, i’ll get to your posts soon Inshallah.

Revlon Color-stay might be a good option for you. Chanel Teint Innocence is anothoer option, very light coverage. You could also opt for a tinted mositurizer Bobbi Brown, Laura Mercier are both good.

L’oreal hydrafresh is a moisturizer, not a primer. MAC prep + prime, Urban Decay, Smashbox, Makeup Forever all make primers.

BR the problem with Chanel is that just when I begin to like sumthing they discontinue it! And that makes my blood boil! I LOVED Lancome’s “photogenic” light-reflecting makeup and they discontinued that as well. If it works for u then stick to it =)

For the wedding krylon sticks are fine. MAC counter makeup is perfect for print media, photo-shoots and models they aren’t really trained to do desi brides.. I remember getting my face done as well and she put blusher on my cheeks in circles..where my face calls for it being swept upwards towards the temples.

Oh! This was the one I used to use by Lancome a long time ago…sadly they stopped making it!!!

@Daddy_s_Girl

Has anyone tried Chanel’s Vital Lumiere?? What’s the verdict on this??

I think that will be the next one I’m going to try.

So this year I tried a few foundations…don’t thinK i’m successful so far. I hate mineral foundation because of the mess it makes, like no matter how much I tap it it always goes outside the jar. also when I put it on, it doesn’t stay well at all..it aggravates my allergies, and wheN i have to scratch my nose or blow it without fail I will see the foundation on it..so by teh end of the day half my foundation is off my face.

Before that I had used Mac cream foundation (N25)…it was ok for a while but eventually I noticed that it made my skin look very uneven and patchy.. dunno if it just went bad or what

Earlier in the year I purchased MUFE HD foundation..I don’t use it too often. Now the problem for me is…when I put it on, it will look normal but when I take pictures…I end up looking 5 shades lighter then my neck…if I try a darker color, it looks orange to me in real life..

a few days ago I tried the bobbi brown stick foundation…first it didn’t sweat off or rub off..I also tried the corrector for dark spots, the makeup artist used a very dark shade on me (dark bisque) which when I saw in hte mirror at sephora looked fine..but then when I looked in the mirror in a natural light, I could visibly see the dark foundation.

Soooo I dunno if its my camera or Im doing something wrong or what..
