[oh me]

princess sparkle,

thank you very much. I'll check it out.

Can anyone reccommend me a foundation that conceals well but at the same time doesn't look cake-y?

Why not just get a concealer then? I haven't heard of a full-coverage foundation that doesn't look cakey or obvious.

 

[Cado]

I do have a concealer, though. But I prefer foundations with good coverage.

 

[tifa]

there are lots on the market that don't look cakey. estee lauder double wear or double wear maximum cover are two really good ones, i can vouch they don't look too mask like.

 

[Cado]

I've had double wear before, and yes, it's pretty good. Maybe I should go for it again. Thinking about trying out Pro Lumiere as well.

 

[cup-of-tea]

Another one here for Double Wear, I also like Lucidity..another EL one.

 

[KamenKutak]

what about YSL 'Perfect Touch'? Is it recommendable?

 

[kaygilbert]

Definitely Double Wear! I use the Light Wear one and it's really versatile - if I want more coverage I simply put more on. Great staying power

 

[KamenKutak]

what about Giorgio Armani 'Designer Foundation`? Is it worth the price?

Plus, I need a new sun powder, without too much shimmer, so I would like to get some tips on that as well.

bourjois healthy mix foundation. for more concealing, apply with your fingers rather than a brush.

Has anyone tried Revlon ColorStay Mineral Mousse foundation?

I'm thinking about purchasing it next week and was curious if anyone here uses it. I can't seem to find many reviews of it.

I hope someone can help me or redirect me to the proper thread...

^We have another thread for that, this thread is about foundations, powders etc

^do you have a link or the name of the thread? I couldn´t find it

I personally do not know of any red lipstick with gold particles in it... But you could try a matte deep red lipstick (such as Chanel Rouge Coco in Rivoli) and add some sort of pigment on top.

And you could try and ask in both the "How do I get this look thread"

and the "Lips thread"

Totally agree!!
I use the serum version though

I used to buy only high-tech and expensive foundations but some weeks ago I tried this and I fell in love!!

It's just magic, I still don't understand how a 11 euros foundation can give you HD proof skin like this...

And the serum inside the foundation really works: after a week or so of use I noticed that my skin looked really brighter and healthier without make-up (and I didn't change my skincare routine)

Also, yesterday I saw this video on the MAC Facebook page for application of foundation with fingers and I found it quite an innovative system:

I tried it this morning and it's amazing!! It looks like the foundation is airbrushed (an effect that I achieved only with the MAC 187 brush before)

I think it's really a good way of applying liquid foundation so I wanted to share it with you

^Thanks for posting that video! I wish we got to see her whole face but aside from that I really liked how she applied her foundation, it looked really natural just like the best version of her skin.
