I just can't get it right! I have used MAC Mineralize Moisture liquid foundation for ages as it's the best I can do and the colour is good - NC15 or 20 - but it just doesn't stay put. I use Mineralize skin finish natural powder on top. It looks fab on application, just the right amount of dewy and coverage, I have pretty good skin tbh but it's v uneven in tone and I'm so pale I look ill barefaced. Anyway by the time I'm back from the school run its already starting to wear off and by lunch time I look like I'm wearing nothing. I have tried Mac, maybeline and nars primers - Nars is the best but it still doesn't last. I have tried a brush, fingers, beauty blender and stippling brush. Stippling or sponge prob the best.
More recently I have tried bare minerals original - it is so cakey and Matt no matter how much buffing I do, and the fine lines are so bad with it. And my skin just looks dry and patchy when I use it. Have also tried the new bourjois city radiance which my skin also seems too dry for. I have tried mixing with a little oil - doesn't work. I thought I had normal- dry skin but 99% of foundations make it seem very dry so I guess I do have dry skin despite using loads of moisture in my routine.
Is there any thing else I could try? I particularly want a high street option as I can't afford to spend £29 on my Mac for every day use.
Thanks!
