Name me a good foundation

[Tinks15]

I’ve been using Nars radiant longwear for 6 years now & although I like it I’m fancying a change but don’t really know what other good foundations are out there.

Does anyone recommend any particular ones that is similar to Nars? (I’ve used EL double wear before so not that one)

Thanks

I have used tons of different ones from Charlotte Tils to Nars to Estée Lauder but the best I have ever used is this Dior stick (you get a tenner off at Boots at the moment too). I put a stripe at the top of each cheek, my chin, my nose and forehead then blend in. No need of a touch up all day. The stick has lasted me almost a year and is nowhere near running out. Gorgeous glowy sheer finish.

If I need extra coverage over spots or red marks (thanks Tolak, you absolute bastard cream) I use a nars concealer. But that's if it's bad... the Dior is buildable.

OMFG!!!! Its £104!!!!! 😱😱😱

Another vote for Victoria Beckham. The more I use it the more I love it. I really wish I didn’t ££££

Chanel, Les Beiges
beautiful texture and silky coverage without being thick like Double Wear (personally hated that)
Theye good at giving little tester pots

Charlotte tilbury but very expensive

i was happy with Shiseido for a long time, then they stopped selling my "glow" formulation....now I use- Yensa -super serum silk natural glow hydrating peptide foundation

Dior forever foundation xx

Rimmel perfect match is a good dupe for ysl

Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin is the best foundation I’ve ever used.

Tir tir cushion foundation

I love M Asam products but not tried that one so I might have to now

I've used Revlon colorstay foundation for years, really good

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk. I have never found a better foundation.

I haven’t worn foundation in awhile because I never go anywhere - but I never know when I’m gonna get a flair-up of eczema on my same left cheek.
I use IT Cosmetics color correcting makeup.
It even has an SPF of 50.
What I like about it is that you can dilute it as much as you want with face lotion - or you can use less - it’s very versatile.
And it breathes, if you get me - I live in the hottest part of California. It stays put and lasts and looks nice, although I do give it a finishing touch of their matching powder.
i keep it in the dark in my bathroom cupboard and it is right up there price-wise with all the others.
I hope you find a foundation you’re happy with.
I never felt I got my money’s worth with Clinique.
I never used Lancôme foundation but I loved every other product I used.
Chanel? To die for if you’re not on a budget. I absolutely love Chanel.

I love Sculpted by Aimee - the dewy one is really nice on slightly older skin.

I love Victoria Beckham and secretly hoped i wouldn't because of the price but... I also like the IT cosmetics CC cream and Dior forever glow
For every day the Loreal serum is okay.

Also a huge fan of Erica Taylor on Instagram. Shes excellent 👌

I’ve switched to this

https://www.clarins.co.uk/double-serum-foundation/CS01581782.html#pid80119235

It’s medium, buildable coverage, it goes on best with a dense brush I find (but beauty blender or fingers work too).

It has a bit of an apricot type smell during the application process (which I’ve got used to now) but the scent is natural, plant based, not perfume.

I found a good shade match, lighter than the online tool, probably best if you can try it on (get colour matched at a Clarins counter?) or get samples as you said.

My holy grail is Shiseido Revitalessence, very dewy and natural looking, hydrating and with SPF 30. The best match I've ever had as well for my pale cool/neutral colouring.

Dior and YSL All Hours are good, but I’m really really liking Benefit just now

The MUA lumi tint is meant to be similar to VB (I say similar, obviously it’s £6 so it won’t be exact!)

Many many recommendations here - how did you end up with these? Do you buy bottle after bottle and just try them out? VB is £104 which I really baulk at as an experiment.

I usually try in a shop, most counters will give samples or sometimes I pick them up off eBay if they’re tricky to get

Estée Lauder futurist is one of my faves as I have dry skin

Another vote for Jones Road What The Foundation.

Also their Tinted Moisturiser is amazing! Really good coverage and skin looks glowy.

Agree. I have combination skin (normally decent but currently getting menopausal spots!). I really like how it give light to full coverage depending on whether I use a sponge or my fingers. I've been using this for years & don't feel the need to try anything else.

I use M Asam. It's fantastic stuff!
