Choosing A Foundation

[LailaATodd]

I’m looking for advice on a new foundation to try out. I’m currently using the bareMinerals Original Loose Powder Foundation which I enjoy the lightweight feel of, however, I feel as tho it can look a bit chalky if that is the right word. I am looking for a foundation that is lightweight, gives light to medium coverage (full isn’t really necessary), natural skin like look, won’t break me out & transfer proof. I don’t get too oily or dry so I’m open to many options. I have considered buying the Too Faced Born This Way foundation but am coming here first for some advice!

If you want to stick with powder, try Makeup Forever Velvet Matt Pressed Powder.

@LailaATodd  It really depends on preference.  There have been foundations I love, but not rated well and a few highly rated ones I'm lukewarm on. I've tried BTW, it runs reddish in my opinion as far as shades in my tone, but I feel like the wear is nice.  Most foundations can be built up or sheered out based on application.  I find Wayne Goss's buffing technique to be helpful with foundations like Dior and Fenty.  And there's always sponges/beauty blenders to help yield a more dewy finish.  So some of my faves are

DIOR Backstage Face & Body Foundation  - This has a natural finish and has lasted on me through sweat and hot temps.

Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Liquid Foundation 310  

I also love CoverFx's powder foundation.  It's pretty much my summer go-to.

Tried a sample of Gucci 24 Hour Full Coverage Luminous Matte Finish Foundation  .  It really has a natural glow to it, but I don't own it.

Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place 24-Hour Longwear Foundation 4W3 Henna  is also a bonafide stay all day kind of foundation.

Born this way is good. It’s buildable coverage and looks like skin. I also like fenty beauty powder foundation. Another lightweight foundation that looks natural.
