I did mine over the phone because it keeps crashing. BUT, they need the item numbers so you have to keep hitting refresh until you can see your cart to get them. PITA.

Late to conversation here, but I've got dry/flaky acne prone skin and I've found that Chanel Aqualumiere is the foundation that works best for me. It's been a life saver for me!

I use it in conjunction with Estee Lauder's Advanced Night Repair.

I love birchbox! Their rewards and discounts are great. I have ipsy too which I keep forgetting to cancel, I feel like their products are pretty cheap.

I love the Clinique tinted BB cream.

I like Rimmell from the drug store, or for special occasions Estee Lauder. I rarely wear makeup, but used to use a lot for theater. Rimmell is the only thing I can use that covers up and doesn't make my skin worse.

Sorry to bump this thread...but for those of you who use the Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer, how do you apply it (fingers, beauty blender, brush, etc?) Do you use a primer underneath or just the moisturizer?

@Izzy0927 and anyone else?

@crazycornball I just use my fingers (clean) on a freshly washed face. Nothing under it!

Another Clinique girl here. I use the "Even Better" foundation which has the SPF and evens skin tone. I've tried the target stuff too and think it's fine for about a week and then want my good stuff back!

I haaaaaaate primer. If you do like to use a primer, Monistat makes an anti-chafing gel that is the exact same thing (dimethicone) as is in all of the expensive primers Sephora sells. To me it just feel heavy and makes me break out.

Jane Iredale pressed powder. I have acne-prone skin and the stuff is amazing. Find a dealer at the Jane Iredale website. It's a little pricey... You buy a super-durable metal compact, and separately buy trays of your color to plug in. I wear make-up most days of the week, and it usually lasts me 6 months. Totally worth it. I won't use anything else on my face.

@CrazyCornball‌ For the Laura mercier, I use a mac brush. Sometimes the primer! It really does help I think but def optional at least to me.

And moisturizer underneath. I breakout too so use cetaphil oil free.

Sephora is an awesome place to go, and I'm not just saying that because I work there haha. We have such a huge selection of product, and unlike department stores we don't work off commission, so we will get you products that are really going to work for you. It also depends on what kind of skin you have. If you have more oily skin I would stick to oil free moisturizers and foundations. I never broke out until I became pregnant, and it's highly recommended you don't use any products with salicylic acid. I used the boscia clear complex face wash, it has willow bark in it which is the natural alternative to salicylic acid. My face cleared up really quick and it helped with the post acne scars as well. The face wash is recommended for all skin types, even sensitive so I would give that one a try.

I can look this up and probably will but is glycolic safe? I'm looking for a new cleanser as mine is about to go out and was thinking of trying one with glycolic

I always use different kinds but I always mix it half and half with acne fighting moisturizer. It makes your concealer go on nice in even and keeps ya from getting all flaky.

I am very sensitive. My salon carries a line called Mirabella. It is all mineral, hypo allergenic and gluten free.

Tarte foundation from sephora-no bad chemicals and very natural looking

angk777 · November 2014

Yup I have the Clarisonic and it's quite good to use. Using it once a week to a few times a week helps with the exfoliation since I feel like I'm outlier than usual. Also I am using an organic moisturizer from whole food's makeup section called whole body. Happy shopping!
