Favourite Foundation: Revlon Colorstay w/softflex for oily/combination
Pros: good color match, great texture, good coverage, relatively cheap
Cons: dries too quickly, sometime looks a little powdery
Describe your skin: somewhere between dry/oily, haha. I guess that makes me combination
Other: everyday minerals "original glo" is pretty good for lower coverage days

Favourite Foundation: NARS oil free foundation.
Pros: This is the ONLY liquid foundation (at MAC AND Sephora) that matched my skintone. I'm a weird pale/pink mix. It covers my skin beautifully. It's not too heavy. I have to use very little of it.
Cons: It's so dang expensive! $40 for a small bottle! I wish it had a pump.
Describe your skin: Combination. Pale. Very pale. And my cheeks tend to be red. Not with the foundation, though
Other: This or Stila Tinted Moisturizer (in fair, I think it is) and Mineral Makeup from Merle Norman. NM powder only if I'm running really late.
Will be interesting..

Favourite Foundation: Studio Fix Fluid!!!!! (and Studio fix powder to set on top with my 187)
Pros: Gives me the coverage i need without feeling heavy at all. i dont even notice its on. It has such a great matte finish. I love the smell. It stays put for a long time, especially when i set it with Studio fix powder. Seriously, its just amazing all around.
Cons: I had to buy the pump from the MAC store when i bought it, as opposed to it coming with one. But really not a big deal at all.
Describe your skin: Dry-ish cheeks. Normal-oily in the T-zone. Some blemishes and scars. Uneveness.
Other: Serisouly, i dont have great skin, but people ALWAYS and i mean ALWAYS cvompliment me on my skin on how flawless it is. I always say thanks, but i secretly know its my SFF!

Favorite Foundation: At the moment it's MAC's Mineralize Satinfinish
Pros: Beautiful dewy, natural finish. A hint of natural shimmer that isn't over the top.
Cons: Possibly low coverage. It's low to medium which is fine for me but could be a problem for others.
Skin Type: Relatively clear skin. Combo.
Other: To ward of oiliness I would dust the face with a light touch of blot powder.

Face Atelier or MUFE HD Foundation
Pros: Looks and feels like I don't have anything on my face at all. It evens out my skintone perfectly.
Cons: FA is not widely available in stores. MUFE is a little pricey, although not as expensive as Giorgio Armani.
I have normal to dry skin.

Favourite Foundation: Everyday Minerals Intensive
Pros: Great color match, good coverage, does not break me out or clog my pores, inexpensive (especially if you order a kit - great deal!)
Cons: Will never look as flawless as liquid, but I don't like to wear liquid every day because my skin doesn't care for it.
Describe your skin: Normal, sensitive, acne-prone, pores easily clog, prone to dehydration
Other: I like Px Virtual Skin for liquid. It's the only one that doesn't seem to break me out, but I only wear it 1-2x/year. I'd like to try MUFE F&B or Mat Velvet.

Favourite Foundation: Estee Lauder Doublewear
Pros: It stays on for hours. It doesn't drip off with sweat or rub off on clothing. You can pat your face dry and it will stay put.
Cons: You need a makeup remover to remove it from your pores completely. So worth it though.
Describe your skin: Sensitive, Normal to Dry
Other: Runner up - MAC studio fix fluid. I love it but it doesn't have the staying power of ELDW.

i have yet to find a foundation that I really like besides my nmsf that I buff on my face as a foundation.
every foundation looks like foundation on me.
...satin finish looks good..glad i dont need much coverage, but when I apply nmsf on it..it looks ..like I'm wearing foundation(not going to do that anymore).
still in search of a foundation...not sure which one.
I really want mac f&b ..but might try mufe f&b (i'm 153 in hd one)....I hate hunting for color match.
