Q: im just looking for a really good foundation that will stay on ALL day, preferably some kind of powder. i tried this one from sephora that didnt really work. and i also tried bare minerals from loreal.. it was okay but didnt do its job to the fullest. help anyone?
A: Because i have really oily skin, i would prefer.. Oil control lotion by MAC (just before your foundation) If you want buildable coverage(medium to full) I would reccommend Studio Fix Powder by MAC I would reccommend you to use a kabuki brush though, it lightly applies it to your face when you buff it on with this, yet again you can build your coverage. It distributes it easily and evenly. You can get the 182 kabuki which is 40 something dollars or you can go to kmart and get a POSH kabuki brush for $12 (i own it and its amazing) If you want more of a mineral powder and more breathable feel..i would reccommend MAC's Mineralized SkinFinish Natural applied with a kabuki (its in powder form not loose) If you want mineral foundation in liquid form... Mineralized Satinfinish, i have it and it feels great, make sure to set it with translucent powder :) If you want to be REALLLY oil free look into MAC's Green gel cleanser my cousins use it (they have oily skin) and it works wonders for them especially when they use the oil control lotion afterwards. Oh, and as for your foundation staying on all day, IF you want to, you can look into MAC's Prep&Prime Face Protect SPF50 just really talk to a MAC Artist about these products if your iffy on their skincare! However, I would reccommend Smashbox's photofinish light, i hear that is really great! If you need full details about this product please feel free to email me or go to their websites and just search these products.. www.maccosmetics.com www.sephora.com Hope this helped!
