See my high demands! Haha. Can you please give me some suggestions? I have had numerous ladies at different places try to help me. They usually recommend something and send me on my way. $40 - $50 later I find out I don't like it. So can you answer a few questions for me?
What brand do you use?
Is it light coverage or heavy coverage?
Does it last all day or do you have to touch it up throughout the day?
Where do you buy it?
How much is it?
Thanks! |
Hah - I feel your pain, Rhonda! It seems whenever a product really works for me it often ends up being discontinued! (I take that as a clue that maybe I'm stuck in a groove [read rut] and need to change! Have I really been using the product
that long?! lol) But, it really is a pain when you have something you like, that works for you and then it's no longer available!
I, like you, have a fair complextion and have always used Clinique and Lauder products. And, like you, I'm also on the (agonizing) hunt for a new foundation; spending $40-$50 on each of my new test runs. After trying Clinique, Lancombe, Lauder... so far I ended up loving the Lauder foundations best.
I've found the Lauder "Double Wear Stay In Place" foundation is great! It's non-oily, lasts all day, has a decent, natural-looking coverage (no looking like you're 'plastered'). It also has an SPF10. That being said, I've still spent lots of extra $$ going through their various shades trying to find the perfect one. Gah!
Anyway, good luck in your search - I just wanted to chime in with a recommendation for Estee Lauder's Double Wear Stay In Place foundation. I hope you find something that you love ... and that it stays around for awhile!
