To ask what foundation you use?

[liquidgold5]

I got into a habit of using my mac and at £23 a bottle i can't afford to use it everyday! What foundations do you use?

@oliivander84 yep I think 120 is the shade for me too, but it was out of stock for a long time. I bought 110 and it looks like the base for a clown's make up on my face. No amount of "warming it up" works - and it's not even the palest shade in the range! Impressive but pricey mistake.

Mac studio sculpt is the most gorgeous foundation... I know you said Mac but one tube lasts me months, I would say 6 months at least, and I use it every day.

I went to one of the outlet places about 8 months ago and found Estee Lauder's Re Nutriv Foundation for £20. I bought it as it was actually the perfect shade for me. Stunned to find it retailed for about £70. Never found it in there again sadly and there is no way I'm spending that on a foundation, but it is very very good.

I use Bare Minerals illuminating foundation serum and it’s £28 so pretty pricey, I read that women in their 30s, ie me, should use illuminating foundation and I’ve found BMs one to be great for this, I also use the brush with it, it’s far easier putting it on this way. I am dying to try Armani’s luminous silk foundation, although this is closer to £40!

I’m surprised at the amount of posters that like Rimmel, I think all their products are crap and foundation doesn’t last at all, even their nail polishes are crap imo. When it comes to foundation then you should spend at least £20, everything else can be cheap makeup wise but not foundation:)

Dying to try Estee Lauders Double Wear as I have heard hundreds of women, including posters on here, saying how fab it is.

My skin type is normal to combination, is ELDW ok for my skin type?

Primark double wear.. Is it obvious.. How do I know what I'm buying

Armani silk I love it.
I ran out so I’m using inglot foundation atm it’s not bad I think il try nars next.

Clinique even better glow, can't recommend it highly enough.

estee lauder double wear and then i use mac studio fix over my forehead and on top of the doublewear on my nose lol

Revlon Colorstay.
Have tried loads from Rimmel to Chanel. Revlon Colorstay is my all time fav and old faithful. Great coverage, long lasting, stays matte, £12. Available in normal-dry or combination-oily.

Another bare minerals fan here...the illuminating primer then the Matt powder. I find it gives good coverage but doesn’t get all claggy in my ever increasing wrinkles like some liquid foundations.

Also YSL Touche Éclat for under eye shadows. This is a bit pricey but lasts ages and is a miracle worker.

I find that I don’t need the BM primer, I bought it to go under my foundation & it’s the illuminating one too but it feels oily on my face, I have read somewhere that primer doesn’t need to be used, I really look after my skin and constantly moisturise which is why I think I don’t need the primer, primer only came out a few years ago and so we coped without it for long enough.

Although the very first time I tried the BM foundation, I had put Laura Mercier foundation primer on first & omg I was glowing, I had that lovely dewy effect going on which is what I love, I looked like I had a candle reflecting off of my face and I got lots of compliments, Laura Mercier is expensive but I love it!

You only need experience foundation and the rest can be cheap.

Btw I would love to look in the makeup bag of the person who collects makeup, I’d be like a wee girl in a toy shop, makeup excites me! I also love packaging, anyone else?! Benefit has the best packaging by far.

Expensive foundation, not experienced foundation :))
