View Full Version : Every foundation I use frustrates me!

It seems that no matter what foundation I use, none of them last more than half a day before turning into a cakey oily mess. :mad:

Everyday Minerals Intensive & Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse both look awful by the end of the day.

I apply Maybelline Dream Matte Powder on top of either of these & it controls my oilies very well, but only for a few hours & then it stops looking natural.

I'm embarassed to look at my skin in the daylight because it is so obvious I am wearing foundation & I'm getting very frustrated.

I've tried Everyday Minerals Silk Dust underneathe & on top of the Intensive & it still looks gross after awhile.

Is there ANY foundation out there that actually DOES last a full day without having to do any touch-ups??? :confused:

I have very oily skin so I feel your pain. I have tried Bare Minerals and Everyday Minerals and they just don't work for me. The Maybelline Mineral Power Loose Powder actually lasted all day on me but I couldn't find a good color match. If you can find a color that suits your skin I would try that out. I set it with that pressed powder from the Mineral Power line, I think they call it a finishing veil, and it lasted like 12hrs. I also really like Revlon's Colorstay Active Light Make-Up. It looks more natural than the regular version and really lasts. If I need more coverage I just use the Colorstay Concealer. I set it with the Colorstay Pressed Powder and I'm good for the day.

I've heard really good things about Make Up Forever's foundations. The Face and Body one and the Mat Velvet get raves and are supposed to last all day. They're pricey{like $38} but I have been dying to try one. Maybe you could go to Sephora and test them out.
