Peaches 'n cream-complected young people need not apply, but the rest of us need a little help evening out skin tone, hiding sun damage, and masking enlarged pores. That's where a proper foundation comes in. There are two main ways to use this product: mineral powder (praised for its non-comedogenic and natural sun blocking properties) and liquid formulations (best for creating a dewy glowing look). Be sure to change your usual shade by season to best match your natural tone. If you can't decide between two shades, go for the darker one to give your complexion warmth and mask flaws better.
ChickAdvisor members give props to powdered foundations from Bare Escentuals bareMinerals, MAC Studio Fix Powder plus Foundation, and Maybelline New York Mineral Power Loose Foundation. High marks for liquid formulas belong to Maybelline New York Dream Liquid Mousse, Marcelle New-Age Anti-Wrinkle Makeup, and Make Up For Ever HD Invisible Cover Foundation.

I really liked this bb cream! Use caution when choosing the right shade, At first I got it in "light" but it was WAY to dark and orange for me. I took it back to Walmart and exchanged it with the fair shade with no problems. While I don't have fair skin at all I found this shade...

I have been using Jane iredale products for over 5 years. I love how they are mineral and they dont cause break outs. I acutally use this powder over the jane iredale liquid minerals. Love the 2 together. I have very sensittive skin and it breaks out easy. I dont have this issue...

It is a bit on the expensive side, but this foundation is something I swear by and highly recommend. It produces a flawless finish, and all my friends who use this product - all of different complexions - did not have a hard time finding their perfect colour match. I hear that...

Love this foundation!!! Finally, something that gives full coverage, lasts all day and a little goes a long way! This stuff covers everything! Use with a primer because it is very thick. Someone had said to mix it with a moisturizer if you suffer from dry skin because it...

I have finally found the perfect foundation. It is so light, you don't feel like you are wearing anything on your face.
I have tried several different brands, and now I have it. I would most definitely recommend this one! The coverage is teriffic, and you only need a tiny...

I've been using this stuff since FOREVER and I love it! Its really portable which I love, and theres no chance of it breaking or leaking. I love the liquidy texture of it for putting it on, but it dries like a powder. It gives really good coverage and lasts all day. And its...

First one ever that I bought and have used and loved ever since. The texture to this formula is smooth; goes on really smooth too. I prefer a liquid compared to a powder, I just find it a little easier to blend with liquids. This can be purchased at an affordable price. I...

I bought this product along with another one to see which I liked better. I suffer from acne bad and for some reason different foundations make me break out more. I also don't like the foundations that you think match your skin and then turn out darker then what they are. I was...

I have used this product for as long as I can remember; since the first year it was introduced. It comes in about 15 shades and matches any tone perfectly. You can apply it in 3 different ways; sponge on dry for a natural look; sponge on damp for maximum coverage; or use...

When I said I was a cosmeticsaholic I was serious. Lol, I have tons of products but at first I am giving the priority of writing the reviews to my favorite ones. This foundation is amazing. Has its own brush so it is really easy to apply and gives your face that healthy glow!...

When the summer comes I usually opt to switch either to a tinted moisturizer or just wear concealer because I don't want my foundation to melt off in the heat and humidity. When Bobbi Brown came out with the Natural Finish Long Lasting Foundation I thought I'd give it a try as...

I started to use this around July 4th and I have to say this is a fabulous find. I will reveal it's one flaw (maybe 2 at most) early on:
I am normally NW35 in MAC's studio fix fluid and I am the DARKEST shade (SP07) in this Shiseido foundation. SP07 STILL is a little too light...

Formula: The creme foundations are extremely creamy, this would be excellent for very dry skin types. When I first tried the product it felt like it was too moist and didn't give me that matte-semi matte finish I was looking for. Later I realized my moisturizer was the creamy...

For reference, I am in the shade 60 Honey Beige.
I personally use this throughout the summer because of it's mattifying effect.Sometimes it can go a little red on me, but because I vacation in FL, i'd take that over an oily face!
This product runs about $40 at Sephora and...
