Has become my HG of foundations. Stays on alll day and seriously does not budge, whether I'm in the workshop or the office or shopping Answer: Im using Shiseido Cream foundation in light orche 020 coverage: medium buildable coverage price: not sure of RRP type of finish: silky matte recommended skin type: normal-dry I it! This is now my HG foundation. It is great for yellowed undertoned skin and the colour is a perfect match! Packaging is nice.. comes in a cute jar. Easily blendable and doesnt feel heavy Answer: Fluid Foundation: shu uemura water in foundation Shade: #775 coverage: sheer price: $50AUD (available in asia) type of finish: sheer semi-matte without looking powdery recommended skin type: combo-dry to combo-oily whether i like it: Yes, very comfortable, blends easily, totally natural yet polished look. Fluid Foundation: Armani LSF Shade: #4 coverage: medium price: $80AUD or thereabouts in sydney type of finish: dewy velvet recommended skin type: dry to average combo skin whether i like it: unsure, still feels a tad heavy/thick on the skin. Does add a glow though. Fluid Foundation: Dior diorskin eclat satin(moisture release satin makeup) note they also make one for combo to combo oily skin. This one is for drier skin. Shade: #200 (wish they had a little less yellow undertone in it) coverage: sheer to medium. Not really buildable to more without looking cakey price: $65AUD or thereabouts in asia type of finish: slightly dewy, velvety satiny finish recommended skin type: dry to average combo skin whether i like it: unsure, it's not as thick as armani LSF but still gives a glowy finish. But doesn't wear terribly well enough (doesn't look as satiny by end of day). Creme to powder Foundation: mirenesse emulsion pact Shade: vienna silk (2nd lightest shade). But a tad yellow at times. coverage: buildable sheer to medium-heavy. price: refillable for about $36 on adorebeauty. compact extra type of finish: creme to powdery finish, not as powdery as normal powder compact foundations. recommended skin type: not too dry unless u wear a primer, up to oily. whether i like it: maybe, for its quickness in application, also doubles as a concealer. Can apply to areas needed coverage and still look natural. tinted moisturiser: YSL teint de jour (tint matte moisturiser) Shade: #1 (appears orange in the bottle but once on the skin, just right shade) coverage: sheer to medium price: $56 from sydney. type of finish: semi-matte, wears to an even slightly dewy finish. Don't exercise in this though since it seems to oxidize with body heat. recommended skin type: combo-dry to oily. whether i like it: yes, sometimes it looks so polished and glowy. Not too good for very hot/humid weather though. tinted moisturiser: clarins hydra balance tinted moisturiser spf6 Shade: #10 bisque coverage: buildable sheer to medium price: RRP$52 type of finish: dewy recommended skin type: combo-dry to combo whether i like it: yes, it seems to have additional calming properties on my blotchy skin days. A bit heavy for summer, but covers as well as a lot of foundations yet natural. powder compact foundation: lancome maquiwhite compact (powder foundation) Shade: #15 (it's a pretty "white" shade even though it looks typical foundation beige in compact, i need a little bit more yellowtone in this powder. but wearable if applied sheerly with 1 or 2 layers) coverage: buildable sheer to medium price: RRP$60AUD in asia? type of finish: applied dry: sheer to medium, matte, wears well to natural semi-matte finish. recommended skin type: combo-dry to combo-oily whether i like it: yes, so quick for applications with just a dry sponge, adheres well to the skin with a very thin layer to even out skintone, buildable to slightly heavier coverage. Finely milled powder, never looks too powdery unless heavily handed. Answer: Name: Clinique Superbalanced coverage: medium price: $47 type of finish: matte recommended skin type: normal-oily n whether u like it? yes I like it, works better for me once it started 'buffing' (thanks vogue forum) my powder in to set, instead of just quickly brushing on, what was I doing?! Lasts pretty well, is my new 'winter' foundation. Shade: not sure off the top of my head. Answer: MAC Face & Body (liquid) coverage: sheer but buildable price: AU$59 type of finish: sheer, slightly dewy recommended skin type: normal to combination (not oil free) n whether u like it? Yes! Looks great in photos, but needs to be powdered down. Also - very short shelf life as it tends to go off quickly. RCMA (cream) coverage: full - this has 55% pigment, or mix with RCMA thinner to make liquid foundation price: AU$55 or US$20 (+$10 shipping) from Camerreadycosmetics.com type of finish: matte (dewy if thinner is used) recommended skin type: normal. combination - not for very dry or very oily n whether u like it? Yes - superb coverage but can look dry on some skin types. Lancome Transparence (liquid) coverage: sheer price: type of finish: slightly dewy, natural recommended skin type: normal, combination, oily n whether u like it? Love this. Closest of the 3 to my HG. Sets without powder. Great for everyday. Answer: Chanel Teinte Fluid Foundation Coverage: medium Price: AUD$ ??? (got mine on ebay for AUD$20 incl. shipping) Type of finish: semi-matte Recommended skin type: Combination Chanel Vitalumiere Creme #50 Naturel Coverage: light but buildable Price: AUD$80-90 approx. Type of finish: semi-matte Recommended skin type: Dry. My skin is LOVING this at the moment. It's quite expensive but every time I wear it I get compliments galore. MAC Studio Tech #NC30 Coverage: medium to full Price: AUD$55 approx. Type of finish: matte Recommended skin type: All skin types. This is one of my favourites. My skin looks flawless with this on but I probably wouldn't recommend if you're prone to break-outs - it has emollients in it. Answer: great thread! Armani Luminous Silk Foundation Shade: #6.5 (which is actually too light for me...i powder over it to get the right colour - wrong i know! ) Coverage: can be light, but it's very buildable so medium is a better description... Price: $80ish Type of finish: dewy, truly "luminous" Recommended skin type: all, except maybe very dry or very oily skin types Whether I like it: it!! my HG, i just wish it wasn't so expensive. gives great coverage while still maintaining a dewy finish, i've never found another foundation like it Stila Illuminating Foundation (Liquid) Shade: 70 watts Coverage: light Price: $88 Type of finish: dewy Recommended skin type: normal Whether I like it: yes, but i only wear foundation when i'm going out at night & this doesnt give enough coverage. I have tried it during the day though, and received compliments because I think the dewiness made me look very fresh etc. But, it becomes quite oily on my skin and I still find it a bit too 'sparkly' for day wear... Answer: name: Revlon Skinlights Diffusing Tint makeup in Ivory (I think) coverage: medium price: $30-ish type of finish: subtly glowy, does not accentuate flakes, does an ok job at hiding pores recommended skin type: normal - combination u like it? Love this! Wear it almost every day. The only thing I'd change is the packaging - the pump continually clogs. name: Innoxa Satin Sheet Makeup SPF 30 (I think) in Buttermilk? coverage: light price: $25-ish type of finish: a creamy style makeup in a tube. Applies reasonably well but not as smooth as I thought it would be. I expected it to be a little more like a tinted moisturiser. Unfortunately does not work well with an oily t-zone, and it looks patchy after about 4 hours. recommended skin type: normal-dry u like it? no. Won't repurchase name: Covergirl Aquasmooth Makeup in Ivory coverage: medium-full price: $25? type of finish: I apply this with my fingers a lot more than the supplied sponge. Smooths on very easily and allows for a fair bit of blending before it sets. This is the best one for taking care of redness on my skin. Does a good job at minimising pores too. The only problem is it's staying power. I find it is starting to melt after about 5 hours. recommended skin type: dry-normal-combination u like it? I do! I keep this one for occasions when I want some good coverage. name: Covergirl Fresh Complexion Pocket Powder in Ivory (I think) coverage: medium price: $15-ish type of finish: this is a powder makeup but it provides pretty decent coverage. It's so quick to put on because it is a one-step makeup application process. It suits oilier skintypes. Remember to clean the sponge regularly, so it stays hygeinic. Cute packaging. recommended skin type: oily-combination u like it? I did! This is one of the few makeup products I finished. I would purchase again. EDITED - NEW REVIEWS! name: Diorsnow Whitening Powder in 01 coverage: medium price: $45-ish on SNet type of finish: powdery and polished. This is a powder foundation in a nice white compact. The sponge is conveniently stored in a separate compartment. This applies beautifully over my cheeks and forehead, not so well on my nose. This is because I have pores and Diorsnow seems to accentuate them. Tried it with a brush to no avail. I will have to experiment with primer - this may work.... In addition, this is a tad pale on my PPP-LLL skin. recommended skin type: normal-oily, finely textured skin with no big pores u like it? sadly, this left me disappointed. If I don't get this to work with primer, it will end up in my makeup graveyard. name: Face of Australia Powder Perfect coverage: light price: less than $15 type of finish: satiny. This applies nicely on bare skin. If you're a primer fan, you need to be careful what you prime with. It doesn't work too well with Clarins BFB - you get a bit of balling happening. Unlike some cream to powder products, this is quite tolerant of flakies and pores. Will give a nice polished finish. A dusting of powder on top is optional. Packaging is a classy looking plastic tube - ideal for travel! recommended skin type: normal, slightly-dry, combination u like it? it's not too bad. It's definitely on standby! name: Face of Australia Sheer Coverage liquid foundation (glass bottle) - Outback Ivory coverage: light price: $6 type of finish: this gives a nice dewy finish. I was really surprised at how good this was for such a cheap product! I am seriously using this every day at the moment. I prime with Baby Pink T-Zone Cover and apply this over the top and my skin looks even and dewy but not greasy! I dust my t-zone with a little powder and I'm good to go. I must say, I do like a liquid foundation for the natural finish it gives. The staying power of this is decent. I get the best part of a work-day out of it if I wear primer. If I don't wear primer, it wears off maybe an hour sooner. Loving the SPF in it too. recommended skin type: normal, combination u like it? I really love it. A daily staple. 5 stars! Answer: name: Chanel Double Perfection Compact # 60 Secret coverage: buildable, great coverage price: $64 type of finish: matte powder foundation recommended skin type: combo/oily, def not dry whether u like it? MY HG i use it for everyday, plus night time, but it may be a bit too heavy for some ppl, as i have acne scars, I need heavy makeup to cover, but it is buildable, so can be more sheer, just depends how you apply it.
