Okay so I want to get a new foundation, I don't want a liquid foundation because I am afraid it will look to fake looking lol. Anyway I have combination skin, and I want a pressed powder foundation that has coverage, stays on long, and looks natural. Oh and I get dark circles so can you also recommend a good conclear to go under. Oh and any price range is fine. Thanks!
Milani, Iman, Makeup For ever, Bobbi Brown and Prescriptives. These are the only brands that come to mind.
Lancome has a great foundation. And I have a maybelline coverstick concealer that works wonders and is pretty cheap. It looks like a lipstick tube but it's skin colors.
Concealer: Prescriptives Flawless Skin which is available at their website again. It covers everything from under eye circles to huge blemishes, birthmarks, scarring, redness etc without creasing. it's oil free, long lasting and suits all skintypes especially sensitive. Pressed powder foundation: Youngblood Minerals pressed mineral foundation. It's matte and controls oil pretty well on it's own. Has light to full buildable coverage that looks/feels very natural, never flakey or cakey, never streaky, never broken me out. I set it with either jurlique rose/citrus or youngblood minerals rice mineral pressed powder, coverfx oil absorbing matte fx , origins silk screen, tarte micronized finishing powder etc depending what I have around atm. I also use Boscia Oil Free Daily Hydration spf15 + Skindinavia No More Shine to ensure that I remain matte all day no matter how hot/humid. This works but isn't overdrying.
powders can often look more cakey and unnatural than fluid or cream foundation, you just need to find a good one, some suggestions are maybeline dream liquid mousse( if u r on a budget) but if not lancomes foundations are great and macs studio sculpt is great, for a powder id recommend macs studio fix powder foundation :)
ok, I actual have notably oily epidermis too and that i've got tried ALOT of categories of makeup. do no longer use liquid makeup, because it is going to soften. you ought to use a facial purifier for greasy epidermis, and afterwards use a toner or astringent to take the quite a few oil off of your epidermis. CVS and different drugstores have aisles of all this face stuff, and that is all going to be categorized as toner or astringent so do no longer situation- seek for one specifically for greasy epidermis. next, use an oil-unfastened moisturizer (in case your epidermis gets too dried out from being washed, then it produces much extra oil, which makes the situation even worse). For makeup, i've got got here upon that bare Minerals from bare escentuals is astonishing for greasy epidermis, and it provides a suited matte end. it is not too costly, yet no longer that decrease priced the two (they sell it at Sephora and on line once you have an interest). that is quite rapid to positioned on, and a 50-some thing greenback starter set has 2 foundations, 3 brushes, a bronzer and a ending powder. in case you opt for for yet another kind, seek for a unfastened powder and use a broom- i think of it keeps your face drier longer than pressed powder. then you quite can use oil-blotting sheets through the day over your makeup (they gained't take it off). purely positioned it on your face and pat it gently- do no longer rub! good success!
