Time to update my foundation

Hello everyone! My name is char! Iโ€™m so glad I found this thread! I would love some advice/tips/tricks or opinions on foundation please! And i also have some questions. First of all, I live in humid Hawaii since 2019,  Iโ€™m turning 39 next week, I have oily skin, I wear lash extensions because I donโ€™t like mascara and putting them on. my foundation for a long time has been Estรฉe Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place 24-Hour Longwear Foundation 4W1 Honey Bronze   I am starting to think it could be the wrong color. My veins on wrist to some people are blue/purple. I just thought it was green blue,( I was lighter skinned in Vegas) I want to try something else, thatโ€™s more mattifying, preferably liquid since I think thatโ€™s best for oilyskin ?  And I donโ€™t know whatโ€™s close to that shade, I also want try another shade, lighter.  Can someone recommend some choices or brands? Anyone with similar skin types or problems? What worked? Whatโ€™s new in my age? Thank you for taking the time to read and share your beauty experiences!

Re: Time to update my foundation

Hi! I highly recommend the Fenty Pro Filter Soft Matte Foundation. I have combination skin with an oily forehead. Iโ€™ve tried the Estรฉe Lauder foundation before and I felt like it was so drying, my skin would freak and I got extra greasy by the end of the day. I donโ€™t have that problem with the Fenty. I do recommend using a damp sponge for application over a brush.

As for the shade, I suggest going to the store if possible. I know Sephora can be far if you live in Hawaii, but this foundation dries a bit warm. Iโ€™m usually 240 (warm) in Fenty, but in the matte liquid foundation I am 230 (neutral). I would guess you should be somewhere in their medium to tan range. Hope this helps!

Thank you so much ! @xxMiniMoose  I definitely will look at the shades in that brand .. I also bought my first beautyblender BESTIES Original Limited-Edition Blend & Cleanse Starter Set ๐Ÿ˜Œ I know, I am a total rookie and we have one Sephora on the other side of the island ! But Iโ€™m not trying to go there. Online is life here ! Thank you thank you
