Hi guys…I need help deciding on which foundation to buy so Im nc42 and I used mac studio fix liquid foundation the color was perfect but it makes me breakout. Im deciding between estee lauder and bobbi brown but I’m scared that it might make me break out and I hears Estée Lauder makes ur skin look too caked..so what do u guys suggest?!
Re: Foundation help
Bobbi brown! Love it! Never broke out with it, used to break out with MAC studio fix. Bobbis skin finish foundation is awesome!!! Get a sample if you are unsure.
Re: Foundation help
I'd choose Bobbi Brown or Lancome
Re: Foundation help
Bobbi Brown!!!!!
I also like Nars Sheer Glow foundation

I love Nars Sheer Glow
Re: Foundation help
Estee Lauder does look cakey on the skin. I'd say Bobbi Brown
Re: Foundation help
Hey sis!
Everyone's skin is different and reacts differently. You should apply it to a part of your skin to test it out first. You can ask for samples at the store.
If you must buy.. out of the two you mentioned, I would consider Bobbi Brown!
Let us know how it worked out!

my shade is 4.25/Natural Tan. I have sampled the liquid foundation which I love but I want to try the stick too. I've heard rave reviews on it...will probably be my next makeup purchase!

I've heard nice things about Nars Sheer Glow too actually...is it full or sheer coverage?

Stick...make sure you get the stick.
They also have touch up sticks which are smaller portable tubes you can just carry around with you. I like the pigmentation of them and coverage but they don't have a lot of staying power IMO.

it's a sheer, buildable coverage
Re: Foundation help
Shopping fan it is available at al fatah and a few others stores but I would not risk getting it from here, ask anyone travelling from abroad to get it for you. Even getting it from the shops at Dubai airport is a safer option, ask anyone passing from there. I am not sure about numbers but I used warm natural shade for 3 years but decided to get natural this time round since I use a shimmer brick bronzer too.
I have always used the skin finish liquid foundation and I'm more comfy using that rather than the stick.
Re: Foundation help
Thanks, raania. I'll proly buy it myself next time I am abroad. Does BB has shades that are not warm or how do I put it, not giving u that sun kissed look. I have redness on cheeks and chin etc(rosaea) and currently I am using Clarins skin illusion radiance liquid foundation . After a while my face looks "orangy/ tan ". Although its lightweight and smooth but I dislike how it makes my face overly radiant.
Re: Foundation help
Why didn’t I just look at the name of the foundation? 
thank youuuu!

BB has one of the largest shade ranges I have ever seen...chances of you finding a good match are high. They have different lines but the stick should not be giving you a sun kissed look. The stick is full coverage and gives a natural finish...its not glowy.
Re: Foundation help
Reha, thanks for ur reply. U have suggested stick for op , would u recommend it for me as well? My skin is oily. I mean, between liquid and stick?
Re: Foundation help
Bb liquid foundation is water based and very light, for summers set it with some loose powder and you're good to go.
Re: Foundation help
if you are worried about breaking out you can mix it with your favourite moisturizer to make it tinted moisturizer which is gentler on the skin. i recently bought mac's matchmaster foundation. i have a shine control moisturizer from yves rocher that i use every morning. i started taking a little moisturizer with half a pump of foundation and mixing it together and applying that to my face (after my face wash/toner routine). it makes my face glow and it's not making my skin bad. if anything i feel my skin looking healthier even after i take it off at the end of the day. if you need light coverage then this is perfect for everyday use.
