LibraryLover Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 (edited) I use it sometimes. I have Lancome currently, and everything about it bothers me. I don't like the coverage, I don't like the color, I don't like how it doesn't last. Edited October 19, 2013 by LibraryLover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookfiend Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 :bigear: Me too, I used Prescriptives for YEARS. Unfortunately not many others did, and now the product line has been discontinued. :glare: I'm down to the dribs and drabs of my last jar.

Crissy Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Have you ever tried Bare Minerals? It covers so well without looking thick. They have a pretty good selection of colors. Maybe they have a store near you where you could try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom in High Heels Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Philosophy Supernatural! I love this stuff. I've been using it for years. Love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidsHappen Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I like Maballeine's Dream Mousse. You can barely feel it on your skin and you can layer it for more coverage without too much build up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thank them, but I know it's the Bare Escentials that has them fooled! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natalieclare Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I like Mac's Studio Fix in a compact. It's got good coverage (with a kabuki brush) but doesn't feel heavy. I get mine at Nordstrom, but if you don't have one near you, I think Sephora carries Mac, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6packofun Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I like to use a light, tinted moisturizer for a base and then loose mineral foundation on top. I use Paula's Choice tinted moisturizer and Physician's Formula loose minerals after the moisturizer absorbs (not long). It's a good coverage combo and definitely not too heavy.

3peasinapod Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I really like Clinique's Active-something (can't remember exact name). I also have a "vascular" look, and oily in T-zone. When I wear this foundation, it feels like I'm not wearing anything, which is important to me. Even the powder they carry covers up my redness.

Mrs Mungo Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Do you have a Sephora? Their salespeople are hit or miss, but they have lots of products you can try. They have makeup remover and everything, so you could try several things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helena Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I used Lancome for years too. It wasn't cutting it for my breakouts, and later markings on my face due to Lupus. Lucky for me, I was turned on to Cover FX over at Nordstroms. I love it! http://www.coverfx.com/Canada/Default.aspx Between this and my face wash, my skin looks better than it ever has (even with Lupus and approaching 40). Here's what I use for washing: http://uk.lizearle.com/cleanse-tone-moisturise/cleanse-and-polish-hot-cloth-cleanser.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*~Tina~* Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I have fair skin and don't do pink tones either. Two of my absolute favorites are: Loreal Bare Naturale Gentle Mineral Makeup in light ivory. *I often used Physician's Formula Bronzing Beads to add a little color* :) The Supernatural - Philosophy Airbrushed Canvas (Sephora) in natural (this one has a sponge applicator that takes getting used to, but it covers beautifully) Both has SPF coverage too.
