46 RepliesI love Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer during the day... have also used Make Up Forever HD Invisible Coverage Foundation at night... it's great for coverage!
At the moment I'm still using my trusty BE. It is one of very few that carries a shade pale enough that doesn't appear either orange or pink. I'm looking to buy a liquid to have around too - currently investigating Giorgio Armani Silk foundation, Becca Luminous Skin Colour, Lorac Natural Finish Foundation, and the MUFE HD foundation.
I use Lancome Ieint Idole Fresh Wear. It's pretty light and is more like a moisturizer instead of a heavy foundation. It gives great coverage and seriously goes a long way. I bought mine a few months ago and there's more than half left. Definitely recommend this!
I use Korres Wild Rose with SPF 20 every day underneath my eyes and to hide some of the freckles on my nose. I use W3LL People Narcissist foundation/concealer stick underneath my eyes and for any spot treatment.
MAC Studio Sculpt in NC20 or if I'm looking for lighter coverage and a more dewy finish I like ModelCo's Fluidsplash 3-in-1 foundation in Shell (02) :)
Revlon PhotoReady Make-Up. Its the best among all the foundation i have ever tried.
I can admit that I'm a Merle Girl!
I wear so much Merle Norman because I worked there for so long!
I wear their Flawless Effect liquid foundation in L10 and finish it with their Ultra Chiffon powder! The Flawless foundation has a really lightweight texter while still providing the coverage you need! It's very photo friendly and is good for every skin type! I love it. The combo stays on ALL day.
But USE A PRIMER. and any foundation can work and be flawless and stay on :)

I like both Neutrogena's Healthy Skin Enhancer in Medium to Neutral (I think that's the name) and Olay's Definity Color Recapture in Light/Medium. The Olay product gives coverage like a light foundation if you use concealer.
I just am using up Revlon's Age Defying foundation, and I am tempted to try Maybelline's Dream Liquid Mousse since I've read good things about it on both here and in Allure. I hope it doesn't turn out to be nightmare like the dream cream mousse formula in a compact.
I used to only have & use one foundation, but I read in one of Bobbi Brown's books that you should have at least two: One for summer and one for winter. She said your skin can feel/look different due to seasonal changes, as well as hormonal ones. So, I use whatever formula I think my skin needs that day.
Yes you should have mroe than one foundation. Skin color changes with seasons. I have four shades. Summer, fall, winter, spring.
My current favorite is Maybelline Fit Me, and if it's a more dressy event I'll pull out the Revlon Colorstay. If I'd rather go natural, I might use a Stila tinted moisturizer instead.
I am a huge fan of Revlon ColoStay. except the concealer in the line. It was like using water.
