Ladies, could you please tell me what are the best foundation and concealer you've ever tried?

Question

i find it really hard to find a foundation that doesnt cake and that is good for the skin; and to find a concealer that can hide imperfections and especially dark circles well.. thank you

Answer 1

Best concealer, without a shadow of a doubt, is Benefit's boi-ing. It's fantastic. Comes in three shades. Comes in a little round pot which lasts ages.
Also good, is YSL Touche Eclat. The Boots No.7 equivalent is just as good & much cheaper.

Answer 2

Let me tell you, I used to wear Rimmel Cream Foundation and Translucent Powder on the top, and I used this same product for 16 years, as I don't like change. Anyway, I get spots too, and I know what you mean about it looking as if it is caked on. So last year, I decided it was time to change, and I purchased Sheer Cover, I kept watching it on the shopping channel, and one day just ordered it. It is £65.00 for a three month supply, but once I tried it, I just could not go back to using cream foundation. So I found another mineral powder which I really liked and have been using it ever since. It goes a long way, a fraction of the price of sheer cover, gives you a flawless look, covers spots up brilliantly and any other facial flaws, and because it is natural from the ground, it has a healing agent in it.

So, visit the following website, you can purchase sample pots for £1.75, and their is a wide range of colours to chose from, from Kate Moss through to Jamelia skin colours.

If you go for it, you will need a colour and the finishing powder.

Go on, give it a try, I promise you won't be disappointed.

models prefer foundation. They have one that has a lightand dark foundation in one canister. This means that you can change the shade to suit your skin colour, if you sunbathe or use fake tan and your skin changes colour your foundation does too. It doesnt cake on the skin as it isnt thick or heavy. It gives the skin a really healthy glow. My skin isnt great and I always get comments on how my skin looks when I use this. You can get it from QVC website.The best way to apply your foundation so it doesnt cake is to use a foundation brush, fingers don't give an even finsih and sponges absorb more foundation than you put on your face. Expect to pay around £20 for a good one but it's the best way, Mac and Pout make good brushes.
YSL touche eclat is best for under eyes for those dark cicles as its light reflecting.
Mac do really good concelors.
Also set your foundation with a loose powder, this will stop it from melting. Lightly dust over the face using a large powder brush.
Hope this helps.

Fresh Complexion Concealer
by CoverGirl--works GREAT and good for the skin, doesnt clog pores

Bare Naturale Powdered Mineral Foundation
by Loreal--this is the cheaper version of "Bare Escentuals" but my mom has bare escentuals, I tried it, and this foundation by Loreal is sooo much better. It hides imperfections and evens out my skin tone all at the same time. I used to have to put on alot of makeup but now I'll just use this concealer and foundation and I look flawless! My mother even commented on how flawless I looked. And it's all minerals, so no need to worry about being allergic to it or it clogging your pores.

Answer 5

I use Avon colour trend concealer for imperfections and it helps with the dark circles, i find putting the concealer on the areas or concerns with a clean eyeshadow sponge and blend it on to the skin. Then I use Clinique superfit make up in natural, i use a foundation sponge to blend the foundation in and you don't used a lot but just enough to cover the face.

Answer 6

Best Foundation - Lancome
Best Concealer - Mac

Answer 7

I'm not a foundation girl but I can't rave enough about the trio concealer pallet by 'Ariane Poole'. She is a makeup artist and has her own range of makeup. The concealer pallet has 3 shades which you can mix yourself and each have a yellow tone which is most flattering for all skin types- especially good for darkness under the eyes!You won't be dissapointed!

Answer 8

I work for a number of cosmetic and perfumery companies so I get to try a lot of products.
Best foundation without doubt is Airflash by Dior. It's a spray foundation so it's like not wearing foundation. It's so light but covers. I have a good complextion so I don't need a high coverage so not sue for someone who doesn't. Good for hiding dark circles is Dior's Skinflash or Givenchy's Mister Light. They are both similar to YSL's touch eclat but they actually cover and come in lots of different shades. YSL's is rubbish compared to these too.
Good luck!

Answer 9

Bare Escentuals. Its a mineral foundation, looks like a powder but you apply it all across the face. The coverage is excellent and it looks natural. They also do an under eye concealer. Check out the QVC website as thats the only place I know you can get it.....also you can try for 30 days and get your money back if you dont like. If you go for medium beige I think that is a colour that suits all skin tones, if you have darker skin go for a darker colour.

Answer 10

I use Chantecaille oil free foundation from Space NK, it's 60% water and seaweed so not too bad for the skin. You can also use it as a concealer. Downside is it's £50 a pot.

If I just want to use concealer I use Dior, it gives quite good coverage.
