What makeup do you use on your face (foundation, concealer, etc.)?

I'm looking for something new to use on my face.  When I was pregnant with Cohen, I got some of those darkened patches on my face and they have never fully gone away, plus my freckles have gotten darker.  Any tips to cover spots like that or, better yet, get rid of them completely?  Make up or skin care recommendations?

  • I use Jane Iredale pressed mineral foundation and I love it. It doesn't have bismuth oxychloride like a lot if mineral foundations do so I don't get cystic acne drone it. Also, it takes maybe 1 minute to apply to my entire face. I love it! I use Purpose Cleanser and then Purpose Moisturizer before hand.

  • I use Physicians Formula organic wear tinted moisturizer, and loose powder. I also use Burts bees cleanser, and the naturally ageless products. You will pay a little more for the naturally ageless products, but they are like 97% organic or something like that. I love them, and you can buy them brand new from ebay.

  • The Mineral makeup from Lancome.  I tried a few brands before settling on this.  It's the same price as Bare Minerals but I think it looks more natural, at least on me.  The $60 starter kit came with a really great brush and has lasted me over a year (but I WAH and don't wear make up everyday).
  • Sephora loose powder foundation. It's pretty reasonably priced ($18, I think?), and if you go into the store, they'll match you to the right color, which I really needed, b/c I'm clueless like that :)

  • First, I use a primer after my moisturizer.  I use the MUFE brand from Sephora.

    Then, I mix MUFE HD and MUFE Mat Velvet+ and apply it with a wet makeup sponge.  I mix them together b/c the combo of the two (both for color and texture/skincare needs) are perfect for my skin.

    For concealer, I use MAC's studio sculpt and studio fix, I think.

    I use a white powder from MAC to set it all.  It's translucent.

  • NARS Sheerglow Foundation or Chanel's Mat Lumiere

     MAC's skinfinish powder to set it

    Bobbi Brown corrector and Amazing Cosmetic's concealer. 

    I also use Stila's One Step primer.

  • On a regular day I use MAC tinted moisturizer and a little under eye concealer (also MAC). I also like Smashbox primer (especially in summer - helps keep the shine down a lot). For skin care, I use Cetaphil cleanser and moisturizer most days. A few days a week I use Dr. Brandt's Microdermabrasion in a Jar (LOVE). At night I use various night creams/eye creams, etc - I switch up brands on those a lot. I like L'Occitane a lot

  • I use bare minerals & like it much better than the liquid/solid stuff I've used in the past.

    Same with me. I only use bare minerals now for anything that goes on my face.
