Liquid -Guerlain - Parure Extreme
redlipsdiva 3/18/2012 9:05:00 AM
I use this foundation in 03. A little goes a long way. I generally only use my fingertips for application and blending of my foundations. I also use the Max Factor Imported Cosmetic Sponge 117 (can no longer find at my local drugstores, Target, Walmart, or online!) or a 187 buffing brush to blend out a little more, if needed. I find that not much blending is needed with high-end foundations and correct application with the fingertips. Pros: 1. Flawless, luminous finish 2. Build-able coverage 3. Long-lasting Cons: 1. Price

Liquid -Giorgio Armani - Luminous Silk Foundation
redlipsdiva 3/18/2012 8:48:00 AM
Another favorite foundation. This makes skin look amazingly good. The reason I don't wear this as often as some of my other foundations is because I think the color (5.5) is a little dark for me (others disagree, but, I am very picky about my face matching my neck). I can usually adjust the color with powder, but, this spring, I intend to get my shade matched again. I also intend to make sure I get the matte version (Lasting Silk) of this, due to my very oily skin. Pros: 1. Flawless coverage 2. Build-able coverage Cons: 1. Price 2. Not long-wearing; however, I may have the wrong finish for my skin type

Liquid -Chanel - Mat Lumiere Long Lasting Luminous Matte Fluid Makeup SPF 15
redlipsdiva 3/18/2012 8:41:00 AM
I love this foundation (40 Beige). It provides absolutely flawless coverage, minimizes pores, and makes skin look luminous while also providing long-lasting coverage (I have to blot after about six hours due to my very oily skin.) I set this with a very light dusting of the Double Perfection Natural Matte Powder (110 Light Beige); however, I also use Mac Blot (Medium-Dark) or the Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder (003 Natural) with great results. I switch between this and Diorskin Airflash, Diorskin Forever Flawless Perfection, Georgio Armani Luminous Silk, Guerlain Parure Extreme, and Revlon Colorstay. I generally only use my fingertips for application and blending. Pros: 1. Flawless coverage 2. Build-able coverage 3. Luminous finish 4. Long-lasting Cons: 1. Price

Liquid -Christian Dior - Diorskin Airflash

Another Dior favorite foundation. I also use the Dior Forever Flawless Perfection (030). I reserve the Airflash (300 Beige) for occasional wear, as I have several other foundations that I can alternate, including the FFP. Pros: Flawless finish Long-lasting (especially considering my very oily skin) Easy to apply/blend Cons: Price

Liquid -Christian Dior - Diorskin Forever Flawless Perfection Fusion Wear Makeup (new - 2011 version)
redlipsdiva 3/18/2012 8:21:00 AM
I have been using Dior products (skincare and makeup) for about five years now. I absolutely love this foundation. I recently switched to 030 as I thought the 040 was a bit dark, although others did not notice. (I am a bit picky about exactly matching face to neck.) So, I can probably wear either shade if I adjust the powder (translucent vs. shaded) I use to set it. I have very oily skin and some large pores on the sides of my nose. This foundation covers very well. A little goes a long way, but the coverage is build-able depending on your needs. I do have to blot after about six hours; however, I expect that with every foundation because of my very oily skin. I get the best results when I use it alone, without a primer or moisturizer, as the "smart skin-shaping Skincare Essence" really does "become one with the skin," and only a little powder to set is needed. I generally only use my fingertips for application and blending.
