Can someone recommend a good foundation?

Question

which is better mineral powder or liquid foundation for your face? I havent ever used makeup/foundation on my face but as I am now in my late thirties I can see I need help! I dont know which is the best brand, I dont want to have thick makeup.

Answer 1

Well, the foundation I use is called "True Blend". It is a foundation from Covergirl. It works great on me! I really recommend using this one. It stays on all day, it doesn't show, and it's real easy to put on.  

Answer 2

bare minerals, sonia kashuk has a kit in target with mineral blush,concealer, and foundation for 15 $

bareminerals = best thats why its pricey

trublend by cover girl is good too. my mom is cosmetologist and alwasys says that cover girl is good drugstore makeup =)  

Answer 3

I put on moisturizer and then put on "Dream mousse". (The moisturizer makes it look less blotchy)

Answer 4

try a lot of powder foundation because it doesn't clog your pores a lot.

Answer 5

Bare minerals is the best foundation in my opinion.  It covers everything and makes your skin look really nice and flawless.  I used to use liquid foundation but it has lots of chemicals in it that aren't good for your skin.  

Answer 6

Bare Minerals is suppose to be the best as others mentioned, but is pricey.  I use L'Oreal's Bare Naturale Powdered Mineral Foundation & really l ike it!  To me it works just as good for a fraction of the cost.  

You could also try a liquid powder or pressed foundation like Bobbi Brown's "Oil-free Even Finish Compact Foundation."  I liked that too.

If anything, just brush on some loose powder.  Prescriptive's has the best: "Liquid Transluscent Powder" and it feels really awesome when you put it on!

Answer 7

I have the bare minerals-  I definitely recommend the foundation.  It covers really well.  I don't like that I have to mix two colors to get the shade that's right for me.  I have sensitive skin and I'm able to use that all the time.  And it's not a big deal if I go to sleep with it on.  I also like the bare minerals foundation from Physician's Formula.  It's not that expensive and you can buy it at drug stores, some grocery stores, target,walmart.  It doesn't cover as well as the Bare Minerals, but that's fine with me.  Especially over the summer, I want light coverage.  With Physician's Formula-  the color matches really well.  And it works fine with my sensitive skin too.  The only downside with mineral foundations is that they make a mess.  You always have to shake the excess off the brush.  And I definitely do not recommend Bare Minerals eyeshadow.  The colors were pretty-  but all that loose powder drove me crazy-  I'd get it in my eyes too.  Mineral foundation is much faster to apply than liquid.  For liquid- I use Origins-  I've tried everything and it is definitely the best.  I use mineral powder during the warm months and liquid during the cold months-  but use mineral if I'm short on time.  

Answer 8

I wear both!!  I recommend Clinique or MAC...you can buy both at the mall.

Answer 9

I work at Ulta, and the most popular seller is Bare Minerals. It's expenseive, but there is a reason. It's the best selling foundation/cover-up in the country. It's very high quality stuff. :)

Answer 10

I like Clinique. Bare Minerals is very good, too.

Go to the mall. Some places will give free makeovers and you can decide which one you like. You'll feel like you have to buy something, but you don't.
