Looking for a really good foundation

[hermansherman]

Can anybody please recommend me a really good foundation?

I currently use Estée Lauder double wear which I used to love but I'm finding it's becoming quite cakey on my skin. My skin isn't great but isn't terrible - it's quite blotchy.

I am very pale and find even the palest shades look orange on me.

I'm looking for full coverage.

I tried the one that's always shown on Facebook - can't remember the name - and that was probably the worst foundation I've ever used 🤣☹️

Any help would be massively appreciated!

Thank you 😊

I love Double Wear but agree it can be cakey, so in the summer I mix it with the double wear primer to thin it and brush it on with an IT cosmetics brush, I then spritz it with the Charlotte Tilbury Air brush setting spray - that really is a game changer, it's a gorgeous product, 20% off on ASOS at the moment.

I really rate Pat McGrath but you need a good primer if you want it to last a whole day! I use the Pat McGrath primer also.

There's a sale on their website at the moment :)

@changewhale yes they seem to have a lot of sales recently! I last brought the foundation for £25 when it is usually around £60, I brought 3 bottles to last me a while!

Which DW primer do you use please? There seems to be a few.

I use this one @MrsPelligrinoPetrichor, I mix it with the DW foundation, apply it with a flat headed brush and then spritz with the CT setting spray, it makes it glowy but still long lasting

Thank you, I'll try it 😊

Another vote for IT Cosmetics CC foundation, it is amazing and gives full coverage.

@isthismylifenow , I will explore that Revlon one. The search for my holy grail foundation continues.

The IT cosmetics CC cream transfers off the skin so badly. I end up with it everywhere

Just wanted to let you know I tried your primer /SW tip and it's brilliant! I bought a cheap silicone free primer ,Wet n Wild Impossible,just to try it out and it's fantastic! Going to get a sample of the Estee Lauder one to trial it out. Thank you 💐

Dior forever. I have the glow, my sister uses the matt.
i always end up going back to it.
