Currently testing Sunday Riley's Effortless Tinted Primer (aka her foundation.)

It feels a little greasy on application and the pigment separates from the base materials easily (meaning you have to blend them on your hand before applying.) However, the coverage is nice and natural looking. I still need my Cle de Peau concealer on certain areas, but, it's way less "made-up" than my normal Cle de Peau creme foundation routine.

If the skincare benefits are as good as they are supposed to be and I don't break out, I may switch to this on a permanent basis.

I've been trying out foundations recently to find some new favorites... best ones for me are

Perfection Lumiere Chanel (need to mix 2 shades for optimal results) - I really like this... it feels lightweight but its about medium coverage on me

Guerlain Lingerie de Peau (I REALLY have to mix 2 shades or else I look pasty or super tanned) - super lightweight and light reflecting, light to medium coverage. Really love how this looks for every day

Guerlain Parure Aqua (also need 2 shades) - feels great when I need fuller coverage and does wonders layering this with a little concealer for my dark circles

Koh Gen Do Aqua - This stuff feels amazing, but I can't seem to get the shade quite right.

Diorskin Nude - Lightweight but I don't like the scent as much as other foundations (I'm super picky). Its fantastic but I've been liking Lingerie de Peau a little more than this recently and they are similar.

Diorskin Forever - Good foundation but feels a little dry on me. Using Diorsnow BB creme and/or Chanel's Le Blanc as a base helps.

On my list to try:
Giorgio Armani
Guerlain Parure Gold
Cle de Peau
Le Metier
Sunday Riley

I've been rotating the following in the past month or so:

Koh Gen Do Aqua Foundation in OC-1 - it's flawless upon application but I find it doesn't last so well against the heat and humidity(and oil!). LOL It's a bit light but I just top it with some old Shiseido powder foundation I'm finishing up.

Laura Mercier Moisturizing Foundation in Warm Ivory - I find this has a very natural finish on me.

Clarins Skin Illusion Foundation in 103 - The smell and texture is my favourite. Putting it on is awesome. It actually dries to a powder finish on me so I sometimes just dont set it.

Giorgio Armani Designer Lift Foundation in #3 - I find it a bit light on me. But the MUA told me it was a better match than #2. It's a bit thick and coverage is quite opaque. I think it needs a bit of time to oxidize but it doesnt change color that much after you apply it.

Make Up For Ever Face & Body Foundation in #20 - My go-to foundation when everything else doesnt cut it. Requires powder touch up throughout the day but it makes my skin looks like skin but ultimately better. Buildable. and it's great to cover up any hyperpigmentation on my arms.

High End:
MAC Face & Body - does just what it says. can be used on your body as well. love it! sheer/natural finish & the best part is its waterproof. perfect for summer.

Shiseido Perfect Refining Foundation - medium coverage (eventhough its a bit thinner). love this! I use this with the BeautyBlender and blends effortlessly into the skin.

Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation - light-medium coverage. very light/smooth application. has great selection of colors.

Plus searching for a good tinted moisturizer. I've great things about Laura Mercier's tho.

Drugstore:
Revlon Colorstay - medium coverage. I've been using this for awhile now and let me tell you, it stays on all day after setting with powder. love.

Maybelline Fitme - medium coverage. For how cheap it was, it really is a great alternative to higher end ones.
