NBR: Rec your lightweight foundation

in December 2010 Moms

My skin is still a wreck... Can I still blame that on LO?!  Hehe.  So please rec your lightweight foundation. 

I currently have some MAC foundation.  Don't remember what kind, but it's awfully thick.  I need a foundation that I can wear everyday.  I only wear the MAC on special occassions.

TIA

    I love Laura Mercer tinted moisturizer with an SPF 15.  It works great with my skin which has also been a mess since having LO.  I get it at Sephora.

    I love Laura Mercier as well, that stuff is great. I also like Smashbox, they have a nice, very light foundation.

    Oh, I actually use Bare Minerals now, but feel like it's not enough coverage.  Either I'm not using it right or my skin is just THAT bad, haha.  Thanks!

    I was having MAJOR skin issues.  I am blaming it on the hormones from nursing, but I went to the dermatologist and got a prescription for Finacea Cream.  I use it twice per day (I actually mix it in with my tinted moisturizer) and I have seen a total transformation in my skin.  Maybe it would be worth making a derm appointment; I feel so much better about my appearance with clear even skin!

    Clinique has a great lightweight foundation called "Almost Makeup". I love it. I also just discovered a foundation from Almay that "blends" into your normal skin tone. (it comes out kind of white-ish). Surprisingly, it works GREAT! (and it's only $9).

    Thanks, everyone!  You ladies are awesome.  I need to hit up the mall this week/weekend and check out the Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer and the Clinique Almost Makeup.

    Mamaholmes - Thanks for the tip!  I'll have to consider going to the derm.

    Do you need something with more coverage?  B/C tinted moisturizer is really, really light coverage.  I have some Neutrogena tinted moisturizer that I use, I used to love it but my skin is really dry while BFing so I need something heavier right now but I would definitely recommend it.

    I love Make Up For Ever's Face & Body Foundation.  It's really lightweight, almost watery in texture, but covers so well.  They have another formula I like too, Matte Velvet+, that is thicker and gives more coverage.  Their concealers are fabulous too.  It's pricey at $38, but I think Laura Mercier's tinted moisturizer is over $40 (which is crazy, imo....good stuff, sure, but way overpriced).

    Hmm, if it's really bare, then it's might not be enough coverage.  Maybe Macy's/Sephora has a small sample of the Laura Mercier stuff I can try.  I did try looking for the Neutrogena tinted moisturizer a month or two ago and could not find it at Target... and then I totally forgot about it.  (See, there I go again.)  Where did you find your Neutrogena tinted moisturizer, lulu?

    What concealer brush??  LOL.  I bought the set soooo long ago.  I just use the foundation with the kabuki brush now.  Obvs, I'm using it wrong, haha.

    I miss you and A too.  Hmm, I need to go check out FB for a dose of A's cuteness...

    Me too.  Although I just read recently something about the particles doing something bad to your lungs.  I think I read it on the Bump somewhere. I should probably look into it or just hold my breath while I put it on in the morning.

    Ok, who am I kidding it's usually well into the afternoon before I get time to put any makeup on these days.

    Edited to say- I meant to quote nursedivo.  I use Bare Minerals too.
