I am trying to find a light, non-greasy and non-runny foundation for my wedding in July. I normally don't wear one, but would like to for the special day. Any recommendations?

Thank you

I like Neutrogena, and Almay products... but I hear MAC is really good as well.

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone's suggestions.

I tried Clinique, MAC, Armani and Lancome...

Clinique Superbalanced foundation worked for me

I have found MAC to be too heavy (both the liquid and solid foundations), Lancome came off too quickly, and Armani was a bit cakey, although had the best color shade for me.

Thanks everyone

I was just going to suggest Clinique.. i just bought it again.. i was using cheapo brands but i felt sooo heavy and i was breaking out BAD.. then i went back to clinique, and i dont even feel like i am wearing anything at all, plus my skin is starting to look and feel much better..

I like Christian Dior. I know its sounds ritzy but it really made me look very flawless and natural. I was very happy with the results.

Re: Searching for perfect foundation

I have tried a lot of foundations over the years. I have eczema that can break out around my eyes so I have to be extremly careful. Plus I am on stage a lot and have to where makeup that will last. I have found that Clinque superbalenced is light and lasts for hours. Mac studio fix does make a get foundation/powder that I use also. The only thing about the Mac is that it can get heavy if you apply it incorrectly. Hope this helps.

Does the Clinique have SPF in it? I dont really use foundation, I use a covergirl base that goes on as liquid but turns to powder. I dont want anything heavy, but am starting to notice some fine lines around my eyes, and am wondering if its b.c my makeup does not have SPF in it.
