Looking for a New Foundation

I used to use Clinique SuperFit liquid foundation and loved it. It was discontinued a few years ago. The expert at the counter recommended Acne Solutions Foundation as a new choice. I have been using it for a few years and really believe it has caused me to break out. I have read reviews and apparently I'm not alone with this issue. I recently asked the Clinique make-up artist at Sears what she would recommend and she gave me a sample of the Super Balanced foundation. I tried it today and find it doesn't cover very well. I need something that will make my skin look flawless, not be greasy, and won't cause me to break out. I am willing to purchase outside of Clinique. I heard Make-Up Forever Mat Velvet + is great but I don't have a Sephora in my town and don't like to purchase things on line. Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you !

beautypedia has a good database of cosmetics and reviews.

If you want great coverage, you can try the Kat Von D Tattoo foundation. Its matte and covers flaws well. Bare Minerals Matte is also a good option, but its medium coverage.

Pur Minerals powder foundation, flawless!

Were you able to purchase the Forever Makup line in Canada? I don't like doing on-line purchases. I can't find this make-up anywhere in stores in Ontario.

Sorry for the late post. I have found it easily in Sephora as well at the Bay.

They have it at The Bay? I'll check it out next time I go. Thanks !

Tarte Amazonian Clay is amazing(the foundation not the mineral powder), but it's only sold online or at Sephora. I've heard Bourjis Healthy Mix is a good doupe for Tarte and it's available at certain Shoppers Drug Mart locations, I'm actually going to try it out tomorrow. Lancôme Teinte Idol is good if you don't need a lot of coverage(lasts on your face forever, but you can't layer it without it being cakey). I've heard great things about Estée Lauder double wear for full coverage and long wearing, but I've never tried it myself. Mac is a decent option. Not overly expensive, sales people are usually snotty as hell but almost every Bay store sells it and it does the job.

Guerlain - Lingerie de Peau

I'm looking for a good foundation as well and heard good things about Geurlain. But my problem is that I tried many foundations, all of them cause dryness to my skin. Yes, I know, I have to wear a moisturizer, then - foundation. But I don't want to extend my very short make up routine. And I don't want a beauty balm as well, they give almost no coverage. And, on the other hand, I don't want heavy coverage, just light to medium.

MUFE HD was extremely dry for my skin. For example, my forehead is not that dry, but MUFE made that very flaky (2nd time happened, 1st time - with Revlon Photo Ready - awful foundation).

Lancome foundations are super heavy for me, again cause dryness.

Tarte Amazonian Clay contains minerals, that will be good for oily skin, minerals cause dryness.

Recently I've heard many good things about Clinique Even Better Make UP with SPF 15 (Clinique belongs to Estee Lauder). I want to try that and see, if that will be good.

Right now the only foundation which is really good to my skin is Cover Girl + Olay 2-in-1 tone rehab with serum. But that has so strong smell, I don't like smelly foundations.

So my own search for a good foundation still continues...

If you have The Bay, try Bobby Brown. I believe, your skin is oily, so maybe that will be good for you.

Also Nars Sheer Glow will be good for you (The Bay has, as I know). No, it is not sheer, it is really very matte foundation.

P.S. Stay away from Dior Nude foundation. It contains alcohol, the main skin irritant.

I use bare minerals for light to medium coverage. I also like Kat Von D, a little goes a LONGGG way! :)
