I have normal skin apart from dark circles and a few spots, and i would like to know if anyone could recommend a reasonably priced foundation that is not too thick but covers well. A foundation that lasts as well because my foundations i have previously tryed have rubbed off by the end of the day and i wont one that will allow me to look fresh throughout the day. Please Help! x
Answer:
The best advice I can give is to use mineral makeup. It'll give your skin a very healthy and natural look to it, that doesn't feel heavy and it wears very well…plus, it's so much better for your skin. I'd especially stay away from mineral makeup brands that use bismuth oxychloride, though…this ingredient gives off an unnatural shine and causes many people reactions.
There are over 200 brands out there that carry mineral cosmetics. I'd recommend against any brand that you can pretty much find at a drugstore, discount store or department store (other than Jane Iredale & Mineral Essence, which are pretty good brands, but they are a little on the pricey side). Most importantly, I'd highly recommend to sample first, before purchasing full sizes.
My favorite brand of mineral cosmetics for just about everything is Lumiere Mineral Cosmetics. www.lumierecosmetics.com They carry samples on all their product pages (thru their drop down menus) and a sample kit (under "specials") for $9.00, which includes 4 foundations, 1 finish/veil, 1 blush/all over color and $5.00 coupon off your next order. They have 32 shades of foundation, 4 powder mineral foundation formulas, 1 liquid minerals foundation formula, 5 finishing powder/veils, and a huge selection of blush, all over colors, radiances, bronzers, lippies & eyeshadows, their simple skincare really does work, they carry synthetic brushes that are the best…super soft and apply especially foundation optimally. Full size products are actually rather inexpensive. A full size powder foundation comes in a large 30 gm jar with 12 gms of actual product and costs $18.00, their travel sizes come in 20 gm jars and contain 4 gms of porduct (comparable to the size of Bare Escentials, Mineral Essence & Sheer Cover sizes in kits) for $9.00. Pricessing & shipping is pretty fast, they ship worldwide & shipping is rather inexpensive.
Coverage is very good in all their formulas. I have dark undereye circles, ruddy complexion, some freckles/sun spots and I am able to cover and soften everything up, where it looks like my skin, but Waaaaaaaaaaay better. lol

Answer:
Your foundation doesn`t rub off, it seeps down deep into your pores. There is no way that you can have all of your foundation on your face without having even a little bit go away.
But the foundation that I have lasts a really long time.
It`s called "Annabelle" and its available for like $5.
It`s really soft, and actually good for your skin. Seriously, you willl love it, because I know I do!

Answer:
There's a great foundation made by Arbonne International. They recently came out with a "make up primer"-I tried it yesterday and it's awesome. It creates a "canvas" for your foundation to give you extremely even coverage. I was able to use about half the amount of foundation normally needed because the primer created a smooth surface for application. The skin care is amazing too-check out the before/after photos at the above website. I actually only use foundation a few times/year now after being on the skin care. The skin care really evened out my skin tone. Let me know if you would like more information or samples.

This should help it last longer:
Cleanse you're face.
Apply moisturizer.
Leave to set for 5 minutes.
Apply primer.
Apply foundation.
Use concealer for any blemishes that show.
For foundation I suggest you use:

Answer:
chanel foundation in liquid form is amazing becaquse its light and though its not oil free its good because it has a mousurizer built int that makes it look light and au natural! you should blend with sunscreen or mousturizer for a lighter look. Pair with nars blush in orgasm for a rosy look that complimentws every skin tone. to keep your foundation on during the day you can put a finisher on\. the smashbox phot finish line is a miracle worker and very popular. if this still does not work use something water proof but beware this has lots of oil and can clog pores.
