What she thought: For me, foundation's a bit of a security blanket. After years of a not-so-great complexion, I can't imagine going outside the house without it. Problem is, the full coverage I desire comes with lots of undesirable side effects (namely, a mask-like finish, too-thick texture and clogged pores that exacerbate my skin issues).
This is why the Nars All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation has been such a revelation. True to its name, the consistency is lighter than air, but it doesn't feel greasy like some serum foundations, nor does it suffocate my pores. It offers complete, buildable coverage (if I dab a little extra under my eyes, I can forgo concealer), yet my skin still looks natural and radiant. It's the closest thing to sorcery I've seen in my life.
Even better: It offers great bang for my buck. A little goes a long, long way -- one tiny drop is all I need to cover my entire face -- so I wouldn't think twice about shelling out $48 for a bottle, knowing that it will last roughly an eternity.

Good variety of lines and price levels. I want to try the Laura Geller now. The review for the Lancôme was so good, I'm tempted to try it too. Well done!

So I have to try the "Laura Geller Real Deal Foundation Stick," it looked so interesting! I had to look at this article and the worst foundations article just to see if what I use was on either list (it wasn't).

I love the revlon foundation powder because when applied ISPs cooling the only problem is u have to get another brush to use. I also love loreal lift foundation it goes on like a Serum.

I like that you consistently give a range of products with prices everyone can afford. I didn't see my favorite foundation, however--Lancome's "Dual Finish Versatile Powder Foundation." It is never, ever cakey but just leaves me looking like my skin is flawless. It blends seamlessly. And coverage is buildable. I can't go without it.

Cool article. I would add to the list Maybelline Airbrush foundation. Use it with a stippling brush and your foundation will look - flawless-dewy but flawless. Milani mineral foundation was a surprise to me.-interesting.
