Please help me MN!

I used to wear MAC studio fix but they changed the formula. I have bought Estée Lauder double wear but it’s too drying and cakey on my skin.

Any advice please or recommendations.

Im 36, some pigmentation sun damage so need an SPF and full coverage to hide the sun damage.

please help ❤️ no idea what to try next

Have you tried Estee Lauder Futurist Hydra Rescue? It's not as heavy as Double Wear but I really like it as buildable and moisturising. SPF 45. The shade is slightly different to double wear ime good to get a sample or colour march in person

I use Charlotte Tilbury magic cream (SPF 15) then flawless finish foundation.

Haus Labs by Lady GaGa is amazing - although I’d recommend a shade match by an MUA at a stockist. I also absolutely love L’Oréal True Match Liquid as it’s full coverage but also buildable. That’s the one I’d reach for the most. If you prefer something more matte, I’d recommend the L’Oréal Infallible 32hr Matte Cover in the black tube - I used findation.com to get my match & it was perfect! I’ve had probably every foundation you can imagine and those would be my top choices. Although I’m not sure about SPF in them as I use the Beauty of Joseon SPF underneath. Hope this helps!

Nars natural radiant or sheer glow

Lancôme ones are lovely. Get them to suggest one for your skin type

I second Estee Lauder. I used to like Double Wear but as I got older, it became too heavy and now use the lighter version which is now called Double Wear Sheer Long Wear Makeup. You can build it up.

Oh no, my Mac Studio fix is close to running out.. have they really changed the formula?! ☹️

Armani power fabric

Yes :( it was the best foundation wasn’t it. So easy to apply quickly , lasted all day and could builD Up and looked natural. I did have know I’d have bought a ten year stock 😂

The new formula is nothing a like unfortunately and the shades are different.

Thank you everyone so so much. I’m going to read through all your comments and start searching.

Revlon colorstay is fab!

Ah I recently rebought my studio fix and feel like it’s not as smooth and is more orange - didn’t realise they’d reformulated. Whyyyyy
