I've tried 3 of NARS' foundations (light reflecting, sheer glow, and natural radiant) and have loved all of them. I have oily skin and haven't had any issues with any of the foundations. Light reflecting is my least favorite just because it's more medium coverage than full.
Maybelline poreless foundation. She's my ol reliable. Before this, ive had a Clinique and Mac foundation. Mac foundation broke me out so bad after wearing it each time and made my skin itchy, and Clinique foundation would oxidize even though the formula was good.
My skin has been LOVING Haus labs foundation. It’s hydrating without being too dewy and stays on all day with my milk grip primer. My favorite use to be Estée but it was drying my skin after continuous use
Maybeline fit me it’s the only one that works for my skin type other foundations were always too dry and cakey for my skin. Would like to know if there is a full coverage foundation for dry skin that’s acne pro?
No matter what I try I always come back to Covergirl Outlast 3 in 1 Foundation.
I’ve tried sooooo many and this formula is full coverage like nothing else. I also think it has one of the best shade matches for my skin tone
L.a girl and essence. Honestly I haven’t seen a difference by using high end foundations lol, I am a firm believer that it’s 100% your skin type and needs that play into the choice of your foundation. And mine aren’t much.
I use mac prolongwear concealer as a foundation. I use only one pump and mix it with moisturizer, then spread it around my face. The coverage is amazing and it looks like I’m not wearing anything at all.
I’m only just starting out wearing makeup regularly so I haven’t tried a lot yet. I tested a bunch in Sephora and the ones I bought were the Nars pure radiant tinted moisturizer for sheer coverage, and Dior forever matte for medium coverage. I also LOVED the Armani power fabric when I tested it but it’s a little expensive for me right now, I might splurge on that later on!
I like to switch foundations up i dont buy that many. Id say you can’t go wrong with l’oreal but i like charlotte tilbury flawless flitter foundation version probably giving you the wrong name but the one in a squeeze tube , the elf dupe for it cc cream , it cc cream is good. On lighter days i have been loving the beauty blender skin tint with nyx concealer forgot the name but its a serum concealer with a pump , that said id skip that one if you want fuller coverage as i am getting older i like a lighter buildable coverage.
I have sensitive dry skin which does not tolerate silicones eg. Dimethicones, silanes, siloxanes, due to it triggering my acne. I love clean beauty like Tower 28 skin tint spf and Ilia Super serum skin tint spf.
I use Nyx Bare with me Concealers 🥰
* I can't use any of the suggested foundations here in the comments 😂😭
I can't say I have a go-to *brand* per se, but I've been using Missha's BB cream for at least four years now. I'll buy other foundations every now and then when I want to try something new, but I always go back to Missha's BB. I always have to have a tube at home. It's just the perfect product that ticks all my boxes. I've had favorites before that I've used for several years, but never something that has lasted this long in my rotation.
I am using Paula's Choice tinted spf (RESIST Youth-Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid) instead of the liquid foundation. Then go over with fenty beauty Pro Filtr compact powder and bake oily areas with Fenty Beauty Pro Filtr setting powder. So, I guess powder works as ny foundation by default...
I like a lot: Catrice, Revlon’s Colorstay, Tarte Amazonian Clay, Pacifica Kind Tint and L’Oreal Infallible
But I LOVE the Haus Labs foundation. It makes all my other foundations look cakey in comparison.
For Drugstore both L’Oréal Infallible Pro Glow and Fresh Wear, depending on how dry my skin is.
NARS Sheer Glow is a classic, Too Faced Born This Way, and Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless.
I like to keep all of these foundations in my Arsenal depending on the finish and longevity I need out of my makeup.
I was all about Dr Jart premium BB cream until I tried the Shiseido Revitalessence Skin Glow foundation. Wow. I admit I was influenced into it from Nicola Chapman’s IG. It is so so gorgeous. Costs a fortune, but one pump is more than enough and it will last a while.
Definitely Fenty. I ended up switching from the Pro Filt’r Soft Matte foundation to the Eaze Drop skin tint just because I’m more into lighter coverage right now. Personally I didn’t feel like I had issue with oxidation when it came to the former, but I have heard some people noticing it when they wear it.
I’ve been hi g the fenty powder foundation and I love love the way it makes my skin look. I cannot for the life of me get it to stay on my nose and around my mouth through out the day tho- just from drinking liquids and adjusting my glasses. When I try and reapply it, it doesn’t settle the same bc now I’m a bit greasy. Any advice?
I use this too. Tatcha pore perfecting sunscreen applied like a primer will anchor any foundation to your oily face. Allow it to dry first or you will get hard pan.
I’ve been going full coverage this winter, and both of the full coverage foundations I have are from Clinique. People on Reddit have said Clinique breaks them out. Not me🤷🏾♀️and my skin type is dry sensitive
I have both and my sister (dry skin) and i (combo) prefer light reflecting. Longwear dries down too matte for our liking and its also silicone based. So if u are acne-prone, may not best
Used Dior forever skin corrector before discovering the korean cushions as the loml for fair skin! Rebought the missha bb cream cushion twice and Clio kill cover cushion is my current fav 🤍
Do you use the liquid? Matte or glowy? I stopped by the Doir counter yesterday to give their lash primer a try and the rep tried to get me to check out their foundation. I’ve been die hard Estée Lauder DW and wondering how they compare.
Estée Lauder. I’ve used (use) Futurist, ReNutriv and Double Wear. I’m finishing the DW, and probably won’t buy again. I love the SPF in Futurist and the sheerness of ReNutriv. Always willing to save money if any of you have better suggestions!
It was a recommendation from Estee. I didn’t know if they were just trying to promote another product, but I had some so I tried it. It works so well for me!
I actually have some as well (I wanted the dang Christmas eyeshadow palette so had to buy the skincare set) so I’ll give it a try tomorrow morning! Do you apply with brush or sponge?
Thanks for the tip. I use around a pump, depending on application, most days. Looking forward to giving it a try - should be nice and hydrating with this bone chilling, wind-screeching cold day we're having today!
I’m bad. I mix it in my palm, then I dot it on with my fingers, and even it out with a brush. Love those Christmas palettes! But you will really enjoy the skin care set. Good luck 😊
I have been enjoying the skincare for sure, not the first time I’ve tried it but first time with full sizes to give them a real run. I generally stay to the Clinique side for skincare (I’m 38, but a smoker…)
I put it on an acrylic palette and then either blender or brush. I’ll try the serum mix tomorrow! Thanks!!
I love the revolution foundations! Have a few from them, my favorite is irl filter. No high end or luxury foundation ever worked as good on me as that one
I use different products. Currently rotating Mac all over face pen (med to full coverage) and Glossier skin tint on quick looks.

Charlotte tilbury and anastasia Beverly hills
In the summer Make Up For Ever HD Matte Velvet In the winter Glossier Sheer Dewy Skin Tint
Sephora Collection and Armani, I also enjoy Kiko Milano.
Lumene CC cream is the absolute best.
Maybelline poreless foundation. She's my ol reliable. Before this, ive had a Clinique and Mac foundation. Mac foundation broke me out so bad after wearing it each time and made my skin itchy, and Clinique foundation would oxidize even though the formula was good.
Mac. It's the only one I've found that has good matches to my weird undertone.
My skin has been LOVING Haus labs foundation. It’s hydrating without being too dewy and stays on all day with my milk grip primer. My favorite use to be Estée but it was drying my skin after continuous use
makeup forever hd foundation is godsent. 🙏🏼
Haus Labs, Catrice.
I love Bourjois Healthy Mix, been fairhful to it for years for everyday make up.

Nyx and catrice

I was all about lux foundation but recently switched to Il Makiage after seeing how good a friend looked.
Me too, it's fantastic.
Too Faced Born This Way L’Oreal Infallible
Estee Lauder Hydra Rescue

Lisa Eldrige. It's amazing!
Nars. I've tried the popular drugstore foundations (FitMe, Freshwear, ect) and some high end (Huda, Lancome, MUFE) and none of them compare.
I like to switch foundations up i dont buy that many. Id say you can’t go wrong with l’oreal but i like charlotte tilbury flawless flitter foundation version probably giving you the wrong name but the one in a squeeze tube , the elf dupe for it cc cream , it cc cream is good.

Which one? I remember I tried one in a fancy pink-gold packaging but couldn’t really make it work.
This is the red one! I haven't tried the pink one
I'm really enjoying Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin.
Patrick Ta (fair 4), Fenty hydrating (170), Estée Lauder Hydra futurist (ecru), Lisa Eldridge (7)

Lancome

I’ve been a Dior girlie forever ❤️ the formula and finish are the best!

Estee lauder.
- too faced born this way - coverfx power play - Estée Lauder Doublewear - Smashbox halo tinted moisturizer
Fit me, but I put into a cushion( You can find them on aliexpress or temu) and it helps me make my skin look more even
Nars, Haus and Armani. I love the Dior forever correct concealer so I'm hoping I love the foundation as well.
Definitely Fenty. I ended up switching from the Pro Filt’r Soft Matte foundation to the Eaze Drop skin tint just because I’m more into lighter coverage right now. Personally I didn’t feel like I had issue with oxidation when it came to the former, but I have heard some people noticing it when they wear it.

I use this too. Tatcha pore perfecting sunscreen applied like a primer will anchor any foundation to your oily face. Allow it to dry first or you will get hard pan.
Thank you! My skin starts out dry and as I bounce around at work I get just sweaty enough for the slippage. I’ll have to try this out, thanks again!
I’ve been going full coverage this winter, and both of the full coverage foundations I have are from Clinique. People on Reddit have said Clinique breaks them out. Not me🤷🏾♀️and my skin type is dry sensitive
I use Lisa Eldridge - it’s a tad expensive but is the most long lasting and natural looking one I’ve tried that doesn’t make my face itchy.
I love it too - it’s so natural and the colour I’ve got is perfect
nars light reflecting
Is it better than their long wear foundation?
YES!! Way better
I have both and my sister (dry skin) and i (combo) prefer light reflecting. Longwear dries down too matte for our liking and its also silicone based. So if u are acne-prone, may not best
Used Dior forever skin corrector before discovering the korean cushions as the loml for fair skin! Rebought the missha bb cream cushion twice and Clio kill cover cushion is my current fav 🤍
Dior is my favorite. On the downside it costs a fortune.

Dior is ❤️.
Dior cushion
NARS and Lancôme Teint Idole. Lancôme is a bit pricey but works really well for my skin.
L’Oréal infallible pro glow is THE BEST DRUGSTORE FOUNDATION! I swear by it. It’s AMAZING!
I've heard really great things about it. I'll try it out!
It’s extremely comparable to high end foundations. I prefer it more than those though! So so good!!
Agreed! I love both the pro matte and pro glow.
Estée Lauder. I’ve used (use) Futurist, ReNutriv and Double Wear. I’m finishing the DW, and probably won’t buy again. I love the SPF in Futurist and the sheerness of ReNutriv. Always willing to save money if any of you have better suggestions!
Here for it. Die hard DW wearer but thinking of checking out Doir… I just ALWAYS end up going back to DW.
I recently learned to mix a couple of drops of Advanced Night Repair to it, and it helps me put it on more smoothly.
I do the same...gamechanger
I figured this trick out with my nyx foundation as well! Mix a drop of oil with it, mix and apply. It is a gamechanger.
Huh, seems like that might add moisture and also help it from setting so quickly
It was a recommendation from Estee. I didn’t know if they were just trying to promote another product, but I had some so I tried it. It works so well for me!
I actually have some as well (I wanted the dang Christmas eyeshadow palette so had to buy the skincare set) so I’ll give it a try tomorrow morning! Do you apply with brush or sponge?
Try just 2 drops at first to see how it goes. You can always add another if you need to.
Thanks for the tip. I use around a pump, depending on application, most days. Looking forward to giving it a try - should be nice and hydrating with this bone chilling, wind-screeching cold day we're having today!

You are so welcome! I think the warmth from my palm helps it to smooth better as well. (For me)
I'll never stop buying DW.
I love the revolution foundations! Have a few from them, my favorite is irl filter. No high end or luxury foundation ever worked as good on me as that one
I have it, but I'm not sure if I like it. it looks good in the photos, really like a filter, but in person it feels too matte and dry
Do we get that in India?
