Foundation help

daiz519 · Dooney & Bourke

I may not be any help because the best foundation I have used is pretty expensive--Trish McEvoy Even skin ($55). I liked it because it went on very smoothly and never caked on me. It was not thick and I didn't feel like I was wearing make-up. Have you tried a tinted moisturizer? I haven't used one but I have heard it is a good way to even out skin tone without wearing a thick foundation. Also, an esthetician told me to use mineral foundation which allows the skin to breathe--two brands she mentioned were Young Blood and Jane Iredale.

I agree with daiz519's recommendation of a tinted moisturizer. As she said, this is a great way to even out skintone without having a heavy feel on the skin. Tinted moisturizers aren't great for coverage though, so if you need a bit more coverage, you can either just add a bit of foundation to the areas that need more covearge (ontop of the tinted moisturizer), or just use a lightweight, medium coverage liquid foundation that is buildable. I personally do not know how the mousse feels, but it seems as though it would be a thicker base than normal. HTH!
