For about 5 years I have used nothing but IGIA Instant Cover and love the results on my face. It feels great and covered excelently. However, my last 2 orders from IGIA were mostly water and would not cover anything at all. I'm tired of re-ordering. I would love to find a maximum coverage concealer/makeup similar to what IGIA used to make. I don't have a bad complextion but what I do have that is bad, I would like to cover up completely and have that flawless look. I've tried Bare Minerals and Smart Cover but don't like how they make my skin feel.

If you want complete, flawless coverage, try what they use for TV and movies, Max Factor Pan Cake. You put it on with a wet sea sponge (don't cheap out and use synthetic sponges or you won't get the proper coverage) and you control the thickness of the coverage by the wetness/dryness of the sponge. You can use it with a wet finger for concealer-type coverage.
Now, this stuff isn't going to make you look like an "au naturale" with no make up... In fact it looks pretty dry for the first hour or so, but it comes in lots of shades and provides *completely* flawless coverage. Perfect for pictures/TV. Let your skin's oils penetrate the make up for a bit and it will look more natural--or spray your face with a light aerosol moisturizer after all has been applied.
Another plus is that it lasts for a really long time and it's cheap. You can find it at Target, or your local drug store.
One last note, Pan Cake is not great for older skin. It is drying and tends to settle in deep creases--accentuating rather than hiding.

Everyday Minerals will give you that flawless cover. I have a lot of freckles, and redness, but the concealer powder from Everyday Minerals hides it all completely. Also, it feels like you have nothing on. I love it and HIGHLY recommend it.
You can get a free sample kit if you want to try it out. You get 3 foundations, 1 blush, and 1 concealer. Just pay $5.00 for shipping.
Oh yeah, if you decide to buy the complete kit, you have a 60 day money back Guarantee.

Mary Kay has great foundation and concealers, and if you want maximum coverage they have all levels of coverage for you. And its really good for your skin. I'm 37 and went to my high school reuinion and been using Mary Kay since I was 17. I was the ONLY woman at the reuinion who didn't look aged and old and weathered and leathery looking. I felt pretty dag um good about myself and I owe it all to Mary Kay.

Have you tried Mary Kay? Our products make it feel like you aren't wearing anything at all but it has great coverage and good protection from the environment!

I love Estee Lauder Futurist liquid foundation. It's gives excellent long lasting coverage. It's kind of pricey but worth it.

you should go to sephora and have someone there help you out. the reason why i suggest sephora is because they have to many brands of makeup for you to really decide what will work best on your face. i could tell you that the makeup i use is best...but it might not be best for you.
so go to a make up counter, preferably sephora, nordstroms, bloomingdales because they tend to be more high end and will have better make up products for you.

I use Mac, and does a very good job on my face but that was just for my skin. Maybe what works for me doesn't work for you as much as what works for you doesn't work for mine too.
Stick with what satisfies you. It's been tested and proven unless, you want to try something new.
