Re: FOUNDATION!
as much as i LOOOOVEEEE sephora and buying all my stuff there, i hate the sephora branded products. i bought a makeup remover from them once which was terrible to say the least and then i tried a few more things but nothing ever worked out for me. i am trying smashbox from there, it seems okay.. nothing good though. and yeah, you're right- laura mercier is suited more for older skin.. i use their face masks and those have worked for me well but i dont like their makeup range.
laura mercier dries out really fast... i always had to pat it with a wet paper towel to make it blend in well.. i dont recomment it.. i think its for older skin... 40's or something... just doesnt feel right... for parties.. i use sephora brand... its only $20 .. which is cheap compared to other brands.. but i really like it.. blends so well.. and there colors match skin ver well also... i recommend it...
anddddddd if u get lucky and find it on sale.. u can get it very cheap.. my friend got it for $6 once..
Re: FOUNDATION!

Re: FOUNDATION!
You know Chanel has amazing foundation, but its so darn expensive! It's like $66 for a 1 oz bottle.
Re: FOUNDATION!
The secret to any foundation is applying a primer to u're face under the foundation. From what shay describes, it seems that her foundations maybe slightly lighter. MAC caters to model, theater and heavy coverage makeup that's ideal under excessive lights. Bobbi Brown foundation stick is PERFECT cuz it has yellow under-tones and glides-on smoothly. Follow that with a loose powder =)
Re: FOUNDATION!
^^I agree Bobby Brown Foundation is very natural and I can hardly tell when my cousin has it on as she uses all Bobby brown products...they are suitable for everyday wear..
By the way, does anyone know why they say to add some water to your foundation before applying it to your skin?

Re: FOUNDATION!

Re: FOUNDATION!
for winter dry skin try Shisieido the makeup cream foundation (dont know what your shade is) or Trucco skintone natural foundation (shade 4 is for olive skin tones
the best way is to go to a makeup counter and get matched and then if u can get samples for that shade plus two other shades (one lighter one darker). try them on at home to see if they work for u since sometimes department store lighting can be decieving. if u're evening out the skintone then u should be putting the foundation only on the areas that need to be evened (which is why u shouldnt go for a light shade since the uneven area will tend to look grey if the shade is too light). the key to not accentuate the dry spots is a good moisturizer though. if ur skin is balanced then the makeup will look good too. its the same problem with me in the winters...i get really dry skin and if i use any makeup it tends to flake grrrrrrr. thats why i just moisturize and use a concealer on regular days.
Re: FOUNDATION!
well i hvnt read all the replies here so sorry in advance if im repeating any point again.....
most ppl r not aware with this fact and try to solve their problem by spending more and more money on some expensive stuff ....some time ago i was facing the same problem ..i culdnt use any foundation it sucked on my face..
however wht i did than was jst so cheap and it turned out really good...i will advise everyone to do it...or atleast try it for a few days
aaply some baby oil...grapes oil or anyother oil with a normal cotton pad on ur face and message it properly for jst 2- 3mins and then apply foundation ... ur skin will glow and go wow...trust me!!!
also never use jst one single colour or tone of foundation...always mix a slighty darker one than ur skin wid a lighter one or one mtching wid ur skin!!
Re: FOUNDATION!
bdw maxfactor hyper smooth foundation turns out really good if used together wid maybelline mouse
Re: FOUNDATION!
what about trying loreal truematch? its not thick and heavy like some of the others and works pretty well
Re: FOUNDATION!
think it all depends on ur own skin and self satisfaction really
Re: FOUNDATION!
I use Photogenic Ultra Confort from Lancome. I must say that it is the BEST! Well, it work perfect for me. It gives your face a nice, varm glow because it is light reflecting. Hence, it looks natural and yet covers up.
If your foundation does not blend perhaps it is because of your skin. When buying a foundation you should buy after your skin type. Furthermore remember to exfoliate frequently with a gentle peel because it takes away the dead skin cells and other debris from your skin. You will feel and see the difference when applying foundation. Plus, as some have already mentioned before it is a good idea to put a primer on before foundation and a moisturerizer ( not too greasy but a more light texture) . I can recommend the Smashbox Photofinish foundation primer.
Hope it helps:)
Re: FOUNDATION!
I really really wanted to try out Maybelline’s Mousse because I love Mousse foundations but Im not too keen on the pot it comes in.
Its so unhygienic with fingers going in and out, why couldnt they have a spray bottle or something. 
Re: FOUNDATION!
because mouse cant come out of a bottle or u cant spray them..they r like creams....the pot wnt go messy...if u got ur own one and dnt share with anybody else...gud luck xxx
