What is your favorite foundation? Right now I'm just using mineral makeup but might want to switch. There are a few products I really like out there, but I love to hear feedback about productcs I haven't used before

. Thanks!

My favorite used to be BE but it's now Everyday Minerals. I get bored sometimes, like you, and want to try something different but I always end up going back. Because, quite frankly, there is nothing better then mineral makeup out there, for me. It always makes my skin look flawless, plus it's so good for my skin. It's always easy to apply and, as you know, very forgiving. I use mineral everything, even lipgloss. What can I say, I'm a mineral girl.

L'Oreal Ideal Balance is the best I've ever tried. My second fave is Maybelline Age Rewind. Both are cheap, but work great.

I got the L'Oreal for free a couple of times and used it for a long time... loved it. It's oil free, very light, but provides good coverage and lasts pretty much all day.
I decided to try the Maybelline mainly because it was one of the cheapest I could find (other than CG), and ended up really liking it. It provides similar coverage as the L'Oreal, but it has higher SPF, which is great.

I used clinique through my 40's and loved it. when i was younger everything worked. since i turned 50 i've noticed nothing does so i tried bare minerals. had my doubts at first but learned to use it properly and love it now. when i needed new make-up this year i started trying everything again and went back to bare minerals. that;s all i use is the foundation and i find it lasts all day and covers everything. I have some red spots especially after washing and this is the only make-up that covers it al and doesn't make me shiny as the day goes on. also very natural . people tell me i have nice skin and am lucky i don't have to wear foundation. what they don't know won't hurt them.

Aww man unfortunately the Ideal Balance didn't work out for me. I bought it since my skin was combination (it's a bit more normal now), but after using it I started getting large pimples that left behind scars on my cheeks.. in the past I had never broken on my cheeks! It was weird since it seemed to come out nice on my skin.
