I use a tinted moisturiser, cant remember the brand, but I love it! I then use a powder on top of that to ensure there is no shiny spots, and i use nutrimedics finishing power.
If i use foundation i usually stick to maybelline mousse or max factor.. I love max factor but cant always afford it..
But then, i very rearely wear makeup anyway, only on special occasisions. ]]> Tue, 19 Feb 2008 14:30:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14602&PID=306409&title=foundation-makeup#306409 <![CDATA[Foundation (make-up) : caitlynsmygirl wrote: I&#039;m...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14602&PID=306327&title=foundation-makeup#306327 Author: Paws

I don't wear makeup very often. Thankfully I don't really need to. I tend to only wear it when I'm going out and even then I wear very little.
I use a tinted moisturiser from Elizabeth Arden about $60 from memory. I find that's all I need. If I do want a proper foundation I use Napoleon which I think was also around $50 or $60.
I use a foundation brush. They are really good; they give you a nice smooth, even finish and you find that you use a lot less foundation. Just be sure to look after the brush. Yes you do use it with a liquid foundation.]]> Tue, 19 Feb 2008 10:51:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14602&PID=306177&title=foundation-makeup#306177 <![CDATA[Foundation (make-up) : I&#039;m curious about a foundation...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14602&PID=306082&title=foundation-makeup#306082 Author: Andie

I'm curious about a foundation brush too - how does that work?  I mean, you couldn't use it with a liquid foundation, could you?? 

I used to use a Shisedo Creme one - loved it but then it stopped being right for my skin - tried 3 more and now I'm on the Maybelline one that does the whole 'liquid to powder finish' - it's lovely and light, and as a bonus, doesn't break the bank.

I use two different foundations - One for work and one for going out.

Work one I have been using for about 5 years - Best coverage I have found! Australis - $19.90 - That lasts me about a month.

Going out - MAC - About $50 I think - That lasts about 6-7 weeks depending on how often I go out.

I would LOVE to spend $15 every 2 months!

Ooooh ... I don't even want to post. But I will, because I reeaally wish I could use a cheaper foundation. The last foundation I bought was YSL and cost $75 So far I've been using it a month, and I think I probably have another couple of months use in it.

On the flip side - I have bad skin allergies, and I can only use a handful of foundations on the market. I used a mac one once and my skin literally came off! Layers just peeled off Yuck. So, I can buy a $20 or $30 foudantion, but I usually end up spending about $300 within a couple of weeks on specialist skin stuff to fix my face.]]> Tue, 19 Feb 2008 08:09:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14602&PID=306052&title=foundation-makeup#306052 <![CDATA[Foundation (make-up) : I use revlon colourstay, $30 (from...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14602&PID=306037&title=foundation-makeup#306037 Author: MissCandice

Haha, i have an addiction to foundation,im always buying different ones and trying them love them for awhile then i get sick of them and want something different.
In my drawer, i have revlon, napolean (which i use at the moment) an avon one, Bobby brown (which i love, she and Laura Mercia do the best foundations) a mac one , a loreal one and im sure there are others

$15 every 2 months is pretty good id say

Foundation brushes are so worth the investment!
They apply it way more evenly and smoothly than a sponge and as Gen said, you use heaps less.
I wear Revlon foundation and got through a bottle about every 2-3 months. I wear it most days although I try to give my skin a breather 2-3 times a week!]]> Mon, 18 Feb 2008 22:24:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14602&PID=305960&title=foundation-makeup#305960 <![CDATA[Foundation (make-up) : I use powder - moisture mist and...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14602&PID=305954&title=foundation-makeup#305954 Author: BabyOnBoard

I've been using the body shop liquid foundation also which I've been loving. I also use a foundation brush now instead of a sponge to apply it and I have found that I am going through waaaaaaaaaaaaay less foundation that way becuase it doesn't all soak into the sponge!

The avon stuff is quite good from things I have heard and that price is good. If its good for you go with it.
