Best full coverage foundation recommendations?

Currently have been using Nars Radiant longwear foundation for about 5 years now & whilst I really like it I’m feeling like i need a change & to try something else.

I’m also finding it really sticking to my dry areas on my forehead & temples which I can’t seem to budge no matter what moisturisers I’ve tried.

Share on your recommendations please…

You could try mixing your Nars with their tinted moisturiser. The latter in itself is brilliant on days when you want a bit less coverage. Otherwise, I really like Estee Lauder Futurist.

I’ve used Estée Lauder double wear for years, but it’s a bit heavy for some. I find it goes on better if I apply with a damp sponge/beauty blender, not brush. I think I’d like something a bit lighter, but it’s the best colour match for me and other foundations I’ve used don’t look quite right. Might try the futurist if they’ve got the same shade.

I think the shades are exactly the same. I've also just. bought. the Futurist under eye concealer, which is really good. She advised me to go a shade lighter on that.

IT Cosmetics. Factor 50 and even when sweaty and sunny the stuff doesn't budge.

Thanks all. Used Estée Lauder previously although I liked it I don’t really want to use that again.

Will have a look at IT cosmetics.

I’ve fallen in love with Laura Mercier flawless foundation. It’s gorgeous! The CT airbrush is far too drying even with a load of hydrating products underneath.

I don’t tend to where a moisturiser or serum under my make up only a separate SPF. Tried a moisturiser as well as my SPF previously but used to clog my skin up. I could maybe try it again but maybe something not as heavy.
