i have been trying to find my perfect foundation.

i went to the clinique counter and the lady there picked out a foundation for me which looks brilliant on me, i was dead chuffed until day 2 when my face got all itchy and stinging from it! Gutted!

so, i'm thinking Laura Mercier. is it worth the price? whats good/not good about it?

can anyone advise?

i am 32, fair skinned, dryish skinned, blonde hair, few lines...want to look good!

Sorry for hijacking your thread cheeryface but can't resist!
I'm using powder over chanel vitalumiere. I put the foundation on with my fingers. How should I put it on then?

Doesn't it smudge or anything?

you HAVE to get Estee Lauders double wear light foundation-have been hunting for years for the perfect foundation and this is it. doubke wear the original one is very heavy and stays put this is a lot more natural but still gives great coverage-i had 2 people tell me how nice my skin was last night

I always thought you had to use powder over foundation! Right will try without tonight. Doesn't bronzer make you look shiny though?
Will also buy a sponge and have a go at this stippling thing.

How can you apply foundation with a brush?

cheeryface · 29/03/2008 18:12

i haven't tried the lancome yet but i think i must have been looking extra pale today when she colour matched me as it is much paler than the clinique, don't think i am going to like it tbh
