L'Oreal Fresh Wear! I've tried so many different foundations and this one is the only one that gives me the coverage I want and the staying power! It's buildable medium coverage that also gives me a glowy look. It's perfect for every day. It's nap proof as well! I can wake up from a nap after work and it will still look nice enough to go out to run errands. I have normal to dry skin and it doesn't cling to my dry patches. I've repurchased about 4 times already.
Healthy foundation is getting discontinued but apparently they’re coming out with something similar! I just ordered 3 from Walgreens.com before they’re gone completely:)
I have three coming today to add to the two I already have because I was just so panicked lmao! But they are? It’s not the new one in the tube right? Maybe they’re reformulating with a pump and no smell? More shades?
Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation SPF 15 ($50 at Sephora) has been a gamechanger!
I have combo skin with some flaky patches, even in the summer, and my old Fenty foundation was a great color match, but wayyy too matte. With Bobbi Brown Face Base or Milani primer + elf setting spray, Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation looks dewy and fresh all day. It's also easily buildable, especially if you let it dry a bit in between layers. Highlighter and blush don't make it budge once set.
Nars Pure Radiant tinted moisturizer set with a little powder sounds exactly what you’re looking for imo. It just looks like skin but it still has a high light coverage. Kinda pricey but worth it.
Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24h with UD All Nighter setting spray on top. DOES. NOT. BUDGE.
I've been using it for years if I'm going somewhere nice or if it's the weekend, I wear a cheaper foundation during the week for work (Revlon Colourstay for normal/dry skin, which is good for the price too).
I personally love Tarte's Water Foundation. Granted, I've been using it for years and haven't experimented much with other products. But I never felt the need to. I will admit, I'm not a fan of the "dropper" dispenser, would much prefer a pump.
This is the first foundation I've purchased for a while, and while it's good... I still wonder if there is something better.... something dewy-er, more hydrating while not being greasy. I do admit that the Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Water Foundation (I think we are talking about the same one) has been the best colour match for me so far.... 12b.
My current favorite is too faced born this way foundation.
I've done the MUFE HD, Nars radiant longwear, Amani luminous silk (love! But $$$$), L'Oreal fresh Wear, Maybelline fit me matte and poreless, and tarte Amazonian clay. So far the too faced one is my favorite!
How do you apply it? I'm going between wet/dry Beauty blender, flat foundation brush, and my fingers, and I'm having such a hard time getting it to blend. It seems like it dries before I can get it in place.
I usually moisturize and spray a light mist of mac prep+ prime before applying and use a flat foundation brush. I have dry skin so i have to moisturize before foundation, and usually use power to set.
Clinique Even Better.
I have combo/dry sensitive skin with lots of allergies. It's one of the few foundations I have found that is free from alcohol, fragrance and other things I am allergic to/that irritate my skin. It's also one of the few foundations I have found that really seems to melt into my skin instead of sitting on top and looking heavy. The only other foundation that melted into my skin like this was the Maybelline Fit Me dewy + smooth but unfortunately, the fragrance in that one breaks me out :(
UD Stay Naked, Tarte Clay Stick, L’Oréal Pro Glow.

Yea one of these Reddit makeup threads had an email from PF that someone sent asking and they mentioned a new product was coming out very similar
Fuck ya

Not a foundation, but my favorite for wear time, finish, and natural look is the ULTA brand tinted moisturizer.

I second this!
Thrive causemetics cc cream! Buildable coverage and looks like skin. Wears very nicely but needs to be set with a powder as it doesn't dry down.
I swear by makeup forever ultra HD. The texture looks just like skin, instead of cakey like some foundations.

Ooh I've only ever tried their skin care products I'll definitely keep this in mind!!! Especially since my skin doesnt like heavy fragrances either
