Foundation/concealer/complexion recommendations

[Alyyy333]

I am curious to know which foundation is better? The Dior forever skin glow foundation or the nars light reflecting foundation? I’m more for a full coverage type of person. Also any good recommendations on a full coverage concealer? I don’t have acne or breakouts, just some dry skin. Also, if anyone has heard anything good on the new Huda foundation? I currently wear Estée Lauder double wear & love it, just looking for a change. I’ll gladly take any recommendations on a good powder that has some coverage but also don’t make you look cakey? Thank you! 🩷

@Alyyy333 Dior Skin Glow is one of my favorite foundations, I’ve been wearing it for years. Nars complexion products always tend to be too warm on me even with my neutral leans warm undertone, so unless you’re a true warm you might have a harder time finding a good shade match. Perhaps they’ve updated their range but I haven’t considered a Nars complexion product in a long time. I haven’t tried the Huda, so I can’t speak to that. If you enjoy the Double Wear, Lancôme makes a similar foundation you might like, and if you are looking for the same sort of finish, Dior’s matte finish foundation instead of the Skin Glow is also in my own foundation rotation. 

For concealer, I have worn many over the years but my favorite recently has been Charlotte Tilbury. I primarily use it on my under eyes, as I don’t have too much to correct on the rest of my face. 

For powder, I stick with Laura Mercier! It’s the best for a reason.

Thank you so much! I love a glowy complexion so I would definitely try the Dior forever glow before the matte, but I definitely thank you for the suggestion! I tried the nars natural radiant foundation and I just wasn’t a huge fan of it, I thought maybe to try the light reflecting bc I haven’t really tried any skincare foundations or serum like foundations. I know alot of people rave about the haus labs foundation alot though, but I’m looking for something more on the full coverage side of things! I’m definitely thinking to try the Dior and see how I like it, I am tempted to try the Huda one, I have the old one but it’s way too thick! The reviews on the new Huda one seems great! It’s always so hard to pick one when they have so many new ones coming out! I use the Dior star glow, glow enhancer and absolutely love it. I love how it actually dries down rather than the charlotte tilbury flawless filter it don’t dry down. And I just got the Laura mercier ultra blur powder, I haven’t got a chance to try it yet. So it sounds like I’m on the right path with that! lol I did just see the make up by Mario just released a powder and I’m sooooo tempted to try it. Haha. As far as concealer I’ve heard alot about the haus labs, natasha one, and kosas. I’m thinking I’m gonna go swatch the char tilbury concealer though 🙂 I have her foundation and I love it! Only thing is, it pulls so yellow on me for some reason!
