Revlon Colorstay Full Cover Matte Foundation

I've just bought NARS soft matte but also use NARS longwear radiant, L'Oreal true match, No 7 hydraluminous and IT CC cream. I've also got CT airbrush flawless but the shade I have is a bit pale for me this winter.

Wagsandclaws · 25/12/2022 16:57

Dior forever matte or in the summer Nars pure radiant tinted moisturiser.

I've used no 7 intelligent colour for years! For anyone using no 7 hydralumionus, what's it like texture wise as I find the intelligent colour quite thick?
Getting older now and realised recently that I haven't changed my make up style/brands in around 10 years or more!!!

Laura mercier / Charlotte Tilbury for posh but for a quick smooth over I can't get past Avon cream to powder foundation. I have used it for years, £7/£10 depending on offers and it is clean and quick to use. It works surprisingly well on my ageing dryish skin too. It has definitely shrunk in size though lately!

It’s not runny, will hold its shape when squeezed out, but I wouldn’t describe it as thick. Quite creamy.

Nars longwear but it's too matte for me.

I prefer sheer glow but doesn't last long enough throughout the day.

Need to try the light reflecting one.

I’m another No7 Hydraluminous user or Erborian BB or CC.

Moonpies · 25/12/2022 21:54

Trinny London de-stress. I had YSL touche eclat that run out, but I'm tempted by chanel les beiges water fresh tint.

NotMyDayJob · 25/12/2022 22:01

Erborian CC for every day and Chantecaille Future Skin for special occasions

BestIsWest · 25/12/2022 22:02

Hydraluminous or Lancome Teint Miracle - but I’m on the look out for something new.

Squiblet · 25/12/2022 22:09

No 7 hydraluminous didn't work for me, made my skin look dull and flat.

By Terry's hyaluronic, on the other hand, has been a real find this year - much better than my usual go-to brands, Nars and Laura Mercier.

Chantecaille Future Skin

I don’t wear it often and I’m not sure if I couldn’t get something better not oil free

ChocAuVin · 25/12/2022 22:20

I can usually slap any old thing onto my skin, but sadly HydraLuminous makes my eyes itch and water like crazy whenever I apply it to my face -- I so wanted to love it, too Sad

I use L'Oréal Infallible and it's great. I've used high end ones for years mainly Double Wear and Clarins Everlasting but as I have got older they seem too mask-like.

Exasperatednow · 25/12/2022 22:21

Lily lolo. Tried different things a couple of times and always go back.

ChocAuVin · 25/12/2022 22:23

Well, that's interesting. Just learned that typing two dashes on my phone doesn't do an em dash, it does strikeout !

Every day's a school day

Laura Mercier oil free tinted moisturiser and Armani Luminous Silk

Have used lots of the most popular ones above and liked them. My favourite ever was one that is now discontinued that I can't remember the name of. Have used L'Oréal Candid in the last year having seen it on budget buys and liked it, use only the barest amount of foundation at the moment. Current try is Sculpted by Amy (Irish) dewy foundation. Like it, first try today, but think I've gone to pale with my shade, which is a pain.

mikado1 · 25/12/2022 23:07

Too pale!
