I'm about to try a sample of Lancome Teint Idole (sp)? ... Saw some decent reviews on YT.

That's my shade! New Guinea will most likely be my match in the summer as they're not too far off, but Macao is pretty much spot-on.

Jane Iredale Mineral foundation. I use moisturizer, spot a little concealer where needed, a little Touche Eclat, and then brush on the Iredale with the Iredale brush. In winter I use Riviera in the pressed powder compact. Very natural and stays on all day. Not messy either.

I have used this product and it is very nice. I go through periods where I don't want to use anything liquid, but when I do, I use this. I keep two colors around , one light and one dark and mix my color depending upon the time of year and how tan I am.

HG: Armani Lasting Silk in 6.5 (I wear this when I need 6hr+ of makeups, all year round)
Runner-up: Chanel Aqua in B20 (tad too light, I wear this when I do not need it on for long, since the not so perfect match will show up during touchups)
Fixer: Covermark Ultra Formula 04 (use when my skin is in rough conditions)

I Laura Mercier silk creme foundation. It gives you this radiant illuminating look and it covers ****! You have to put it on light though otherwise it can look a bit cakey.

Clinique even better foundation... I was using Laura Mercier before but switched to this with the promise of clearer skin... I've only noticed a slight difference in skin tone, but otherwise works just as well for me as the LM.

^^^THIS! I was scared of it at first as I went from never wearing any foundation all my life to this thick creme. It literally melts right into your skin and I only use a few tiny dots stippled in and bam! Perfect skin.

I scooped a tiny bit out of the full size jar into a Sephora sample container and have been using that tiny amount for almost 4 months. Since Im not constantly opening the LM jar, I imagine it will last me a long, long time without going bad. Well worth the 50.00!

La Mer. I also use Natura Bisse tinted moisturizer.

after years of experimenting i've finally found my perfect foundation routine

im not to big on foundation, i do love tinted moisturizer.
i use "walnut" oil-free moisturizer by Laura Mercier.

when i got a makeover, that was the first time i used foundation ever and it was a really good blend and texture. the artist used Nars Tahoe on me.

i dont use foundation, ever. should i? i don't like the feel and look of it.
