What kind of foundation do you use?

firegirlkorb1 · February 2010

Right now I use Lancome Color Ideal and like it alot, but would like to find something a little cheaper to save a little $$

What about you?

I use Bare Minerals. Anything else makes my face break out like a teenager.

AimeeL85 · February 2010

I don't know if this is cheaper but I started using Bare Minerals a few months ago and I love it....it lasts a long time though so it could work out to be cheaper!

I use loreal powder that is like the bare minerals kind $12 & lasts awhile & covers good. My compact is covergirl.

Wet N Wild Tinted Moisturizer. I swear by it. It's $3.99 a bottle!

I've tried dozens of expensive foundations and I always go back to this.

I used to use MAC's Studio Fix Fluid but after seeing tons of recs and praise for Revlon's Colorstay on the F&B board, I decided to give it a try.

I'm in LOVE. By far the best foundation I've ever used (and I've tried a ton..Clinique, MAC, Bobbi Brown, Chanel) and it is cheap!

And Revlon just came out with a new Photo Ready foundation that I've heard is great, too. I'm going to use that for my dad's wedding.

Laura Mercier mineral powder with Benefit "that gal" primer.

Good question! I usually do not wear foundation, or any makeup besides mascara for that matter, so I am interested in what other gals have to say! I am always looking for a rec!

is that the one with the roller brush applicator? I want to try that one

I use CG tinted moisturizer. It's inexpensive and I figure since I get a lot of compliments on my skin, it's gettin the job done.

No, it isn't. I'm not sure but I think that is a Maybelline foundation.

*Chicken* · February 2010

I use Covergirl w/Olay, I really like it. I'm older though (37) so you might NOT need the age defying advanced radiance.

I don't know the price but it's cheaper than Lancome for sure.

mrshoppy_1231 · February 2010

I was actually going to ask this question today too! Thanks for the suggestions ladies, I think I'm going to try the Revlon Color Stay next time...

Susan&Courtney · February 2010

I don't know how much Lancome costs but I use Estee Lauder Double Wear and love it.

kekis · February 2010

I've used Revlon's ColorStay for years now, and I can't find anything else that will give me the coverage that I need. Mineral foundations don't work for me because my skin is too dry thanks to hormones. ColorStay is great because if it goes on too thick I can add water or moisturizer to it. hth

Laura Mercier. It's not cheaper I am sure but I love it. You can go to Sephora & try a bunch to see which one you like. My tube usually lasts me about a year though.

theworms · February 2010

I hardly ever wear make-up, just on special occassions.

I use MAC concealer (not the tube the round conatiner) where needed and loose powder.

One thing I would suggest, if you don't use one, is a foundation brush, it helps with coverage and you will use less.

cover girl smoothers tinted moisturizer! Love it!

achapple · February 2010

Those of you who use the Revlon Colorstay, how do you apply it? I use the BareMinerals foundation. I'm not crazy about it and am thinking of trying the Revlon but it's been so long since I used a traditional foundation I don't even know how to apply it!!
