What foundation are you wearing?

[MAChostage]

I don't wear foundation daily. When I do wear it for a normal day wear situation, I use Iman Cream To Powder in Sand 5 or sometimes Mary Kay Cream To Powder in Beige 4 (or is it actually 400? Whatever that darkest Beige is before moving into the Bronze range.). For evening, special events, or when I want to make sure my foundation is going to have staying power, I wear EL DoubleWear in either NW1 or NW2, or EL DoubleWear Light in Intensity 4. (In MAC my best match is NC44, for the record.)

On a daily basis, since I just go to university, I use studio fix powder + fix plus (I don't like the powdery effect).

At night, I use lancome teint miracle, which I think it's perfect. It has a good coverage (medium, but you can build up layers), it delivers a luminosity to my skin (I don't like matte finish), but not a luminosity like if my face was oily..luminosity like healthy skin you know.

And my favorite concealer is maybelline age rewinder

Use fix plus or a diy setting spray

Well when I have time, I use my Nars Sheer Glow in the color Khartoum. For days when I'm rushed I use Mac's MSF in Deep Dark.

I wear MAC Matchmaster 7.5 or Studio Fix NC55.

I've been wearing the Benefit hello flawless oxygen wow (a mouthful) in 'so glamber amber' for almost a week straight. the ONLY foundation I've worn for days in a row. the coverage is light (which I prefer) and it gives the most beautiful glow!

I also like both MAC and MUFE face and body foundations (C6 and #18, respectively) - Laura Mercier and NARS TM (tan and cuba, respectively)
oh and NARS sheer glow is great too, I wear tahoe

NARS and Laura Mercier make the BEST tinted moisturizers! they both have a pretty extensive color line as well.

It all depends on the mood, occasion or how much time I have. I alternate between MUFE HD foundation in 117 or Dr Jart Black Label Detox BB cream. For setting powders, I use either MUFE HD or Rimmel Stay Matte. I've been debating on picking up MAC Matchmaster, Diorflash or Giorgio Armani Maestro but I'm not sure which would be better suited for my skin type (I have combination skin- oily t-zone w/ dry cheeks). Any suggestions or advice? I prefer lightweight products with medium to full coverage. I'd really appreciate any input! TIA

I need help. I'm NC45 in Mac. I'm interested in Estée Lauder Double Wear. I was matched to Golden and Rich Caramel. I have samples of both and like them both. Can anyone help me pick? Here are my other shades: Sephora Matifying Powder Foundation: D50 MUFE Mat Velvet +: 70 NARS Sheer Matte: Macao Mary Kay: Bronze 507 NARS Tinted Moisturizer: Martinique Clinique Stay Matte: Golden Bare Minerals Matte: Warm Tan I want Double Wear because it lasts longer w/fewer touchups (from what I've read). Any advice would be appreciated!

I wear MAC Studio Fix fluid in NW43, I switched from NC50 as it was a bit too rich 4 my winter complexion ... It is medium coverage with a natural matte finish... I also use a bit of MAC Select concealer in NW40 to brighten dark areas... I'm pretty satisfied with the coverage and how long it lasts

Mskita007, I'm NC44ish in MAC and I love Double Wear. I wear Intensity 4.0 in the Light formula and I recently got matched in the new Regular formula. One counter matched me to 4N2 Spiced Sand, another to 4W1 Honey Bronze, and yet another to 4W2 Toasty Toffee! On me, I honestly can't see a real difference between 4N2 and 4W1. I've even worn them for friends, one on each half of my face, and they think they both look great on me (and the same!). I don't think that 4W2 is the best match for me, though. I used to think that I leaned really yellow in undertone, but now I'm starting to think that I might have a neutral thing going on. I plan on purchasing the regular Double Wear soon, when I use up some of my other foundations, but I'm still not sure which color to choose!

I guess I said all of that to say: go to different counters and get a couple of samples in a couple of colors. I pimped 3 or 4 counters and had a good sample supply going on for quite a while, haha!

I want Double Wear because it lasts longer w/fewer touchups (from what I've read). Any advice would be appreciated!

@MACHostage: haaaaaaa! Love the idea! They're telling me that I fall in the Intensity 5 range but I'm gonna get me some samples....lots of them! Thx!

Right now, I am trying to finish off a mixed bottle of MUFE F&B in44/46 , but when I finish that I will finish off my MAC F&B in N&. They have discontinued the large bottle of N7, so I will have to decide what to do after that. I plan to finish off my EL DoubleWear Light in Intensity 5 after that.
