Moisture Mist. An oldy but a goody

I use L'oreal Infallible . It works well for me

Ive been using it for about 3 years now since it came out. Its about $40 but lasts ages.

I agree with these 2, its quick and easy to apply and you can put it on as thick or thin as you want and it lasts awhile too. been using it for years and looooove it

i do infalliable, i just put it on like im putting moisturiser on and then whack some mineral powder over the top

My gosh , I was addicted to foundation now im too busy to care ,but these are ones I've used

Shiseido Beauty cake -thats what im back to using now, its easy to get good coverage, tho it doesn't spread as well as it did when I was 16 .

Elizabeth Arden

Revlon -colour stay , mineral powder and new complexion ,new complexion both in bottle and compact .
I found colour stay very heavy and thick , and liked the mineral powder , and the compact the best

Loreal

Clarins

Clinique -loved it

Mac-loved it , gorgeous shade, bit oily tho

Maybelline mousse foundation , actually works really well , not good for dry skin tho

Napolean -their stick foundation , great for quick easy , even coverage

Lancome

Bobbi Brown -my second favourite, perfect coverage, perfect match to skin tone

Laurer Mercier-my all time favourite but no longer available here (well , in auckland that i've seen) beautiful beautiful beautiful *sigh*


My advice, would be to go to a shopping mall and go to the chemist , and to Farmers (cos often they will have different brands ) and ask one of the ladies to work out your skin type , very important , so you know which foundations will and wont work for you , then help you choose a shade .
They should never put the foundation on your wrist , always on your jaw, and the best shade ,is the one that seems to disappear .
Take a mirror with you and tell them you want to see it in natural light before you buy so go outside and look at your face in natural light as the lights in the chemist etc are brighter and can make the foundation look fine , only to go outside and see that its not .

No, the mineral powders are really good for coverage, because you can either do a light coverage , or apply a few coats .

...really , as I've said , I've tried a few ....

OK I nearly didn't reply to this cos I'm not trying to make a political statement! 

.....*but* when I can be bothered I use Innoxa or Natio tinted mositurisers. Many of the rest of the brands are tested on animals which is a no-go for me.  

Sometimes I just use a cruelty-free coverstick, but more often than not I just moisturise and slap on a quick lick of mascara lol

Jo - do you find that the mineral powders also cover the rosacea well? I have very red based skin, and have found that CoverStay is the only foundation so far that covers it decently - although it also wears off and at the end of the day/night I am left with red skin again Is there a particular brand of mineral powder that you have found gives better coverage than the rest?

moisture mist user here..

i use it with a wet sponge.. great coverage and does not dry out during the day..

i use a little bronzing power over the top for some added glam too..

quick and easy
