your HOLY GRAIL foundation & primer!

[lmaocatherine]

Hi guys!

So, to give you a background. I love full coverage foundations that are lightweight with a satin finish. This is my first time buying a higher-end foundation, and I'm looking for the right one to spend my money on! I'd also love for it to be longwearing, bc I don't normally touch up my makeup throughout the day. I have combo-oily skin, and foundation usually fades on me by the end of the day, and breaks up a lot around my nose. 

Thanks for any reccomendations you may have!

I'm a big fan of Shiseido lifting foundation.  It's full coverage and I like the texture of it.

Super, super oily skin here and I'm an advocate of Lancome 24 hr Tient Idole. I pair it with Nars Pore and Shine control primer.  Because of excessive oiliness, I still need to use setting powder and oil blotting sheets. I get minimal transfer to the blotting sheets with the Lancome.  Also need to mention that I have a sensitivity to bismuth oxychloride so I had a huge rash from EL Double Wear and this always gets a mention for oily skin, so keep it in mind also.

Hi!! Okay so I love full coverage, satin finish foundations as well! I have tried a lot of drugstore and high-end foundations in my life, and my holy grail, favorite foundation of all time is the Urban Decay Naked Skin foundation. It has a lot of shades, it is buildable, it looks like skin. If you are oily, I recommend using a primer before the foundation such as Benefit's porefessional or one of the amazing Makeup Forever primers! Hope I could help!

I've tried several foundations & the best one I've found is Estée Lauder Double Wear. It has great coverage & lasts with out any sign of wear.I've worked 12hrs and gone to concerts, stayed out all night so I've put it to the test. So far it's been the best❤️

Dude, imma be real with you, you sound exactly like me. In which case you should freaking love the foundation I currently wear: Make Up Forever's Ultra HD Invisible Cover Foundation. It's everything you listed: lightweight, full-coverage, long-wear, super soft, and so far I haven't had it break on me! Love love LOVE this foundation!

Also I use (sort of) two primers, both of which I love:

• MUFE's Step 1 Skin Equalizer Primer in the Smoothing finish.
• Lush Cosmetics' Magical Moringa moisturizer (which doubles as a mattifying primer).

I like the Clinique beyond perfecting .. full coverage and for oily / combination skin

Lately I've been loving the Tarte Rainforest of the Sea foundation. It's more medium coverage, but it's super lightweight, feels like nothing on the skin, and looks really natural. It lasts all day on me and I have combo skin.

I've been using the cover fx natural finish foundation and it's a really good foundation. Long lasting and the coverage is great.
