My current faves are Bourjois Healthy Mix, Chanel Perfection Lumière Velvet and the MAC Matchmaster which i use to mix my lighter foundations if I want more coverage.

I've been wearing Mac Face & Body in C5. With Nars blush in Portofino. I've been trying to keep my makeup as simple and natural as possible. These two fit the bill for me.

I am back to my waning stash of ELDW in 6W1, Rich Ginger (pre-reformulation). Such a good match. WHY did you change this Estee Lauder?!?

Today, I am trying Black Opal Pore Perfecting foundation in Beautiful Bronze set with Ben Nye in Sienna. So far so good. My only complaint is the scent of this foundation but it goes away when it sets. As far as colour match I would say its is dead on. For reference I am MAC PLW in NW45/NC50. If this wears as long as my PLW or my Revlon Nearly Naked it's a keeper..... Love the pump on the bottle!

Please, please come back and tell us how this goes. Everytime I see that new foundation I want to grab it but I haven't seen enough feedback yet save the Black Opal website, which I do not trust.

This was an interesting experiment. The colour match was dead on and I loved the packaging. Coverage is light to medium. On the day that I tried it, I used the Becca Ever Matte Primer but not my usual MoM which seems to be the only thing that makes my oily tzone stay matte for a couple hours. Let me just say it was an unusually hot and humid day. The foundation held its own but I was shiny. I wore it for about 6 hours and it stayed put. I would not give it HG status like my Revlon Nearly Naked because after a while it felt like a mask, but to be fair, it was really hot. I will try it again under more normal circumstances tomorrow and see if I change my mind. So far 7/10.

Yesterday I wore, EL Stay in Place Foundation in Sandalwood, I put a little of L'Oreal True Match Powder #N8 on top. I used Becca Ever Matte Primer in my T zone and it last 12 hours without having to pat the oil on my T zone.

Prescriptives Custom Blend (I know that's cheating), MAC Pro LongWear liquid (especially great now that the weather is warming up) and MUFE Duo Matte Powder Foundation.

I'll tell you what I am not wearing; NARS Radiant Cream Foundation. I made the mistake of reaching for it today instead of a powder because I was pressed for time and flustered. It slipped and slid all over my face the second I started sweating. Ugh… It's retired until October and I think I'll be replacing it with the MAC Pro LongWear Compact.

I've been wearing Maybelline Fit Me foundation and Loreal True Match Lumi foundation for lazy days where i skip sunscreen (because, this foundation has SP20). I have really dry skin and these two foundations give me the natural + dewy finish I'm looking for.
