How many of you DO NOT like yourself in foundation??

I wear none at all.... all I wear is powder and blush bc my face shines like the sun.....and now I am finding I am unhappy with all the makeup trials I go on bc I am not used to foundation!!!

Do you mean you don't like foundation because you think it looks caked on? Because I often find that particularly with liquid foundation. The next time you're in a department store please check out i.d. Bare Essentials make up (they have it at Sephora I know) and I think you'll love it! See if you can get someone who works at the store to put it on you. It's the lightest most natural foundation I've ever used (and have used for years.) HTH!

(Also, in case this helps too, I've mentioned this make-up to some make-up artists and they all know what it is...and would have it if you wanted to use it)

Are you getting airbursh foundation in your trials or traditional? Personally, I think you look beautiful in your pics, but if you don't feel comfortable, I completely understand. Maybe you can ask for airbrush, because it tends to be lighter and less obvious. I unfortunately don't have a choice, I have to wear foundation in addition to powder because my skin is wretched.

both trials are airbrush!! the first trial w/ Anne everything was airbrush, even the blush and I personally think that one looks worse on my skin....the second one put some concealer in spots and some foundation on and then airbrushed a light layer of foundation to set it...that one I think looks better and def. stayed better. Maybe I need to try straight up traditional makeup next time.

I don't like foundation. I think it looks caked on, well the way some girls wear it. And I can never find anything that matches my skin tone... I am worried about the trials.

I never wear foundation either I just use MAC powder some times... I am going to try airbrushing and see how that turns out...but maybe just ask them to use powder

I think even girls with badly textured skin, as well as unevenly toned skin look amazing w/ the Mineral powder make-up...for anyone worried about the foundation, i'd try that!
