Mac Pro Longwear foundation in nc 20 ( love but next time I'll buy a shade lighter )
Revlon Colorstay in Ivory and Medium Beige (dunno what I was thinking buying the medium beige, I bought ivory to mix with my darker foundations but turns out it works fine on its own with darker setting powder)
Revlon Photoready in Nude (slightly too dark, almost never use this because it transfers and I have oily skin)
Mufe mat velvet+ in 30 (slightly too dark and too pink, story of my life.. Always buying too dark foundations)
Mac studio fix powder foundation in nc30 (again, too dark but works fine)
After all the wrong color matches, I've learned that I am nc20 (except in pro long wear foundation which runs dark, I think I'm a nc15)

Anyone that uses the Estee Lauder Double Wear know what shade would match a very pale cool toned gal?
Right now I use Bed Head Dream foundation when my skin is bad and MUFE Mat Velvet + or Maybelline Age Rewind when my skin is good.
MAC Pro Longwear Foundation NC30, really stays on for ages, even with my glasses on that actually sit on my cheeks... but gets oily faster than powder foundation. And it is a pain to remove lol
Bare Minerals Original Formula, love the finish, but it doesn't stay on when I sweat... and it looks cakey after half a day
ZA Two way cake foundation, only used it dry so far. It doesn't cover as well as the Bare Minerals, but it is nice for a foundation in that price range

I have been using creme de la mer foundation for a few years. since i have combination skin i use the natural shade of the lotion foundation in summers as its less heavier and oilier and i use the creme version in winters of the same shade 'natural' as it tends to provide better coverage and lasts long.
Rest assured, i always always get compliments from people about my foundation and many have asked me about it. I wouldnt trade it for any others but recently i found out that La Mer is discontinuing their makeup line, due to whatever reasons, and i am so disappointed as i dont like changing my foundations too much. I have stocked up on 2 bottles and looking for more in stores if i can find any but then dont wanna stock up too much due to the expiration factor. If anyone has used it and know of any other brand with a comparable foundation i would be more then happy to give it a shot.
i have fair to medium skin tone with warm under tones, combination skin and like full coverage, or medium coverage sometimes but like something which is buildable??????
