What’s your everyday foundation?

They changed the formula of the Healthy Mix foundation recently and it isn’t quite as good sadly. I’ve switched to Rimmel Kind & Free Moisturising Skin Tint foundation and I love it. Depends on the finish you like, but it’s dewy, hydrating and can be built up to provide more coverage. You would still need concealer for blemishes etc, but I find that with most foundations. I like it because it’s comfortable to wear and looks very skin like.
Thank you for the tip, I will try that one
 
Armani luminous silk! Tried tons of foundations and this one beats any other foundation I’ve tried and I’ve had dior, Estée Lauder, Lancôme etc x

I hate the feeling of anything on my skin, so I only use mineral foundation. I've been using LilyLolo for 10+ years now and I love it – it makes my skin look smooth but still like skin! It's also very buildable and you can mix shades if needed. It took a bit of getting used to and it's important to only buy from brands that specifically make mineral foundation (as a lot of the drugstore brands have versions of it, but have bulked it out with talc). I prefer a natural/matte look, so wouldn't recommend if you want a dewy finish, although if I want more of that look then I'll just use blusher/highlighter on top.
 
Estee Lauder Double Wear for me. I have tried so many and as much as I rate CT & Mac, I always come back to the double wear as I find the coverage to be brilliant for my skin. Nothing else lasts even near as long as double wear for me.

Last time I went to get Double Wear the MUA did the color test with that gadget thingy that she put up to your skin, it matched me with Ecru which I bought and find it too orangey. Back to Ivory Nude for me despite the EL gadget thingy.

I’m convinced those gadgets don’t work. A lot of the higher end brands in Boots seem to use them and they’ve always been miles off for me. I don’t think the machine can handle people with any freckles. I usually end up with a suggestion that’s between my skin tone and my freckles.

MAC studio fix is my go to, i love the coverage and formula of Estee Lauder Double wear but my skin colour match was terrible! I would really like to try the NARS one.
 
Gave up with EL Double wear during lockdown. Now use Rimmel Lasting Radiance. Far better, not so heavy on your skin

I am the opposite I can’t get a match with MAC studio fix but the Double Wear in 3N1 is great for me, MAC is too pink or too orange for my skin
 
I used Estee Lauder Double Wear and Double Wear Light for years as my sister worked for them and got a massive discount. 😆 Now I wear Rimmel's Lasting Finish.

I swear by Lancôme Teint Idole 24HR, it’s the only foundation I’ve ever used that truly matches my skin tone and it’s great for my oily skin, stays put all day!

I don’t have a holy grail foundation but my favourites are: No7 hydraluminous and beautifully matte. Loreal true match and infallible. Estee Lauder double wear.
