Foundation question?

Question

I use the Clarins foundation and I have tried other ones like Lancome and L'oreal. They just don't last. After a few hours, I feel like it's gone. It doesn't stay the whole day. Does anyone know about a foundation brand that stays the whole day without having to constantly retouch your make-up during breaks? Thanks.

Answer 1

I prefer Total Finish foundation by Merle Norman. I have the same problem and tried dozens of cheaper and more expensive things but I swear by this only. This says you don't have to use powder, but use it anyway it makes a big difference. It seems heavy until you get used to it, but it can be applied a little lighter if you put your moisturizer directly on the sponge before applying the foundation. Good Luck!!

Answer 2

Try Revlon's Colorstay range. I have used the foundation for normal to combination/oily skin and it lasted at least ten hours on my face - no touch ups required. I did use Colorstay pressed powder on top of it and it looked great at the end of the day.

Answer 3

I use Sheer Cover and I find that it lasts the whole day!

Everyone is different though. Do you have oily skin? Is it wearing off on your hands or clothing?

Maybe you should do a touch up during your lunch hour?

Answer 4

Try foundations that say "matte" on them. They are thicker and offer better coverage. Rimmel works pretty good. Hope this helps.

Answer 5

what kind of skin type? oily? i would make sure that you are setting your foundation with powder. if that doesn't work.. go to the counters and tell them about your situation.. they should be able to help
