@michellefusion Welcome to BIC!
Hello I'm Kali! I'm a makeup novice and excited to be here now that I'm ready to try new things. I'm older and late to the makeup game, but interested in reading your thoughts, advice, recommendations, and tips. This should be fun!
Hi @KaliGirl79! Welcome to BIC! Are there any particular makeup product(s) (lipstick? Eyeshadow?) you really like?
Hi @KaliGirl79 itโs certainly never too late to join the make up community! Welcome to the BIC!
Hi, @KaliGirl79 ! Welcome to BIC! I think that you will like it here!
Trying new things can be exciting and fun! No doubt you'll find lots of great new ideas here on BIC, @KaliGirl79 - welcome!
Welcome to BIC @KaliGirl79 ! Several of us here (including me) are in our late 40s and older, so youโre in great company. ๐
Thanks!
Thanks! I haven't tried any of the in-store paid services. You?
Welcome, @Aivacto! Finding the right foundation definitely involves a lot of trial and error, but it's so great when you find one that works well for your skin!
Welcome aboard @Aivacto ! I always had so much trouble getting a good foundation color match, I finally swore off all liquid and cream foundations. ๐ Now I just use tinted moisturizers insteadโand even with those, itโs sometimes hard to find a good match, but they tend to not dry out my skin while giving me the sheer coverage I like. Many folks love NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 St. Moritz but I canโt use that one (my skin reacts badly to it and thereโs not a good skin tone match for me; your mileage may vary). Instead I use LAURA MERCIER - Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 20 - Oil Free or Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Natural Skin Perfector Broad Spectrum SPF 30 3C1 Fawn. Bare Minerals also makes one that has a strong fan base.
Sometimes I use a powder foundation instead, as long as Iโve moisturized my skin very well. My favorite is kind of a foundation/finishing powder hybrid: By Terry Densiliss Compact. Itโs pricey, but it contains hyaluronic acid and never cakes on my skin. Product photos are inaccurate in terms of color, so I tracked down various peopleโs online swatches and photos before choosing 2 shades.
@Aivacto Welcome to BIC! Sometimes to get the right shade you have to mix 2 or more shades together
Hey @Aivacto walcom

Hey @Anonymous ๐
When my skin is breaking out, I like to make sure that I'm supporting my skin barrier by using products with Ceramides. One of my favorites is Cerave Moisturizing cream in a tub. I find that when my skin barrier is weak (caused by dehydrated skin, dry/cold/windy air, excess sweat or water exposure), I break out a lot more.
Good luck!
