No7 Stay Perfect or Revlon Colorstay Foundation?
I'm caught between these two to try after I finish my Benefit Oxygen Wow Foundation which I had in "Believe in Me Ivory" (the lightest shade). So if anybody's tried both, or really loves one of them? Here's some info about my skin: It's mostly really dry, although I am a teenager so I do get a pretty oily T-Zone at times. It's quite pale, as I said I'm the palest shade for the benefit foundation which has 9 shades and Natural Beige for this avon bb cream which is the second palest. I'm normally 'light' on the scale fair-deep and I have a cool undertone so I don't want a foundation that's going to make me look orange. I think that's it! Thanks for any help:)
Boots No7 Beautifully Matte foundation or Stay Perfect foundation for oily/combination skin?
I have oily skin and whenever I use BB cream or foundation, it gets cakey. I use a very good primer by smashbox. Which would you recommend... The beautifully matte foundation or the stay perfect foundation?
What is? my foundation match?
I have a fair skin with cool (pink) undertones,, my skin is pretty normal (not dry nor oily) but it needs touch ups through out the day to get red of oil in the T-zone ,,normally I only wear spf and a translucent powder but am looking for a foundation for parties or special occasions but I'd prefer if it is a medium coverage because am not a fan of the cakey look and I want my skin to look glowing and healthy. I tried maybelline dream mouse in light1 (which is the lightest shade) but it was yellow and my undertone is pink. Also am on a budget so products over 40$ are a bit too expensive for me. I hope you can help me thank you.

Is a matte or dewy foundation best for freckles?
The texture of foundation won't have much of an affect on freckles, it's more to do with coverage. Mineral powders give a more sheer finish which won't help cover the freckles. Instead try a liquid foundation such as Revlon Colorstay, which comes in Dry/Normal or Combination/Oily so it will suit whatever skin type you have. Or you could try Max Factor Facefinity 3 in 1 - both are full coverage and come in fair shades. They should help!
What is a really good foundation that lasts the whole day?
Hi there ,I feel your pain! My nose and chin are so oily, Ive had to deal with all of this stuff too.Start with freshly washed skin. Ideally, use a facial cleanser for oily skin.A key factor for making your foundation last with oily skin is to use a primer. I cannot stress the difference that a good primer will make when it comes to extending the wear time of your foundation . I like Smashbox’s pore minimizing primer. This is oil free. I find that it really keeps my nose shine to a minimum.Ive used a LOT of foundations over the years . Just now I've found my ‘holy grail’ foundation. It's Lockit by Kat Von D. For me , it has everything I'd been looking for in a foundation … good color match, just the right finish, good but not too heavy coverage . I cannot recommend this product highly enough.Its important to remember to use a setting powder after you apply your foundation if you have oily skin. From the same line as the foundation, I like Kat. On D’s lockit setting powder. It cosmetics make a great one as well!I hope this helps . If not, go on to YouTube and search Zebrena. She is a makeup guru who has done countless reviews of foundation for folks with oily skin.
How do Indian women in the United States find a foundation that best matches their skin tone? I am a No 7 loyalist, and always have to pick some bottles up from London when my stock runs out. Are there any good brands that provide a close match?
It depends on what kind of coverage you want, what type of skin you have, but I will compile a small list to help you out. I have "dusky" (I really don't understand the point of these stupid names for skin tones, but nevertheless) skin tone, and quite a clear face, so I generally use tinted moisturisers, or BB creams. This a compilation depending on ratings, and friend's recommendations.MAC foundations are a universal choice, the Studiofix (matte finish, medium coverage), Prolongwear (long-stay) and Matchmaster (water-based, medium coverage) are popular among them. The good thing about MAC is that the the SA's are really helpful, and they'll find out the perfect shade for you.Makeup Forever HD (oil free, full coverage) is one the highest rated foundations, it photographs really well. Estee Lauder Double Wear Maximum Cover Camouflage Makeup is another full coverage foundation. Covers every spot and blemish. Long-stay.Revlon Photoready (medium to full coverage, photographs well), and Colorstay (medium coverage, long wear) are popular choices. Also, revlon 'New complexion makeup' is a budget foundation provinding light to medium coverage.Maxfactor Color Adapt Foundation (medium coveragee, feels very light), and Age renew foundation (full coverage, highly rated) are also quite good choices.Apart from these, Bourjois Paris also has good foundations, like the Healthy mix foundation, the mineral matte foundation.Most of these would suit your skin tone, be sure to check it properly, not on your wrist, but on your jaw line. Other than this, I would recommend Inglot foundations, and Smashbox foundations, and Maybelline for budget, depending on availability in your city.Hope you find your HG foundation soon! :)

What is a great foundation that will give off a dewy glow, with medium coverage, and have no grey undertones?
The Josie Maran Vibrancy Fluid foundation is a wonderful foundation that accurately fits this description, as well as the Clinique Beyond Perfecting foundation or the Clinique Even Better foundation. These are all very dewy but have great coverage that can be sheered out or built up making them pretty versatile.You can get some free samples and a color match at Sephora to test these products out.
