What is a foundation with heavy coverage that will look natural and won't clog my pores?
Preferrably it would also make my skin look kind of luminescent, but it doesn't have to. I've seen a lot of girls who wear mac foundations but it looks pretty fake and cakey. My biggest worry tho is that it will clog my pores and make me break out.
Any help is appreciated. :)What is a foundation with heavy coverage that will look natural and won't clog my pores?
try MAC full coverage foundation its good i have it ;)
tip to get the perfect shade is matching it to you neck
try it have fun ^_^What is a foundation with heavy coverage that will look natural and won't clog my pores?
I wouldn't recommend any Maybelline/Cover-Girl. Sorry for being difficult, but their cosmetics are of poor quality and won't work with your skin effectively. The liquid foundation I use is very good, and it's from the Face Shop. It cost $35 (AUS) which is affordable and it's also in a relatively large bottle. It provides an even coverage which is enough for me, but if you want something more opaque I would consider a cream-textured foundation. I always apply my foundations with a flat, square makeup sponge which you can purchase a bag of for under $5. I dispose of mine every 3-4 applications for hygiene purposes, and also because they generally start to collect a build-up of makeup, which doesn't help with an even coverage. You cannot evenly apply makeup with your fingers and expect it to turn out like how it would after using a sponge. The results are completely different.
If you're prepared to spend more, I suggest MAC or Napoleon Perdis. As for the girls that wear cakey MAC foundation/concealer, they're probably A) Using the wrong type of foundation or B) applying it without knowing how.
There are three types of foundations - Liquid, Cream and Powder. Each type of foundation has three coverage levels - Sheer, Medium and Heavy. The people you were talking about were probably wearing a Heavy Cream foundation which, I can tell you, is not a good look for everyday wear. I sometimes wear Napoleon Perdis foundation and it doesn't appear cakey. Go to a shop that sells their cosmetics and ask them if they could help you pick out the right colour and type for you. Napoleon and MAC's foundations range from $40 to $70, but you are definitely paying for quality. Get oil-free makeup and wash it off before bed every night. That will prevent breakouts :)
I use Maybeleine Instant Age Rewind Even though I'm only 18 haha but it works wonders! I've been using this for a while now and it never cakes up and it looks really natural. I only use that for the blemishes then I use a mineral powder on top of it; I use Trueblend microminerals. I swear by these products, I love them :)

What is the best concealer and foundation to use when you want a natural look?
I like makeup where it doesn't look like I have any one.. I prefer the natural look.. So which products give you that look.What is the best concealer and foundation to use when you want a natural look?
Urban Decay Surreal Skin Mineral Makeup.
It gives good coverage and it's really soft and natural looking. Easy to apply too. http://www.urbandecay.com/categories/Min鈥?/a>
Or, the liquid foundation version of it. It doesn't cake at all!
http://www.urbandecay.com/categories/Sur鈥?/a>
For concealer, Almay Smart Shade concealer is the best. I have really severe acne and after using this you can't even see it!
http://www.bellasugar.com/1802965What is the best concealer and foundation to use when you want a natural look?
Bare Minerals. The foundation matches up to your complexion and since it is mineral based, it blends easily and gives you a natural glow. They use a smaller brush and you use your foundation as a concealer and it really covers it up perfectly.It is barely noticeable that you have anything on, but gives you a ';put-together'; look that is very natural.
Bare Minerals foundation and Mineral Veil. If you don't like mineral makeup, try mixing your regular foundation with a little moisturizer and applying it with a foundation brush. As for concealer, you only need to apply it where you are red or have blemishes, and the best way to get a natural look is by applying it with a concealer brush.
Lauren Hutton has great foundation and concealer, which is very natural looking, not that caked on look.. I hate that!
There is a great concealer kit, I use it everyday... you are able to find which concealer is best for your skin tone from a chart you are provided with. If you're interested in taking a look, here's the link: http://www.laurenhutton.com/concealerkit鈥?/a>
As for foundation.. Lauren Hutton has a great one. It's called Weightless Foundation, and it's the best foundation I've ever used. It is so light (weight wise) and goes on with a very natural look. Again there are different shades for your skin tone... you can take a look at it here: http://www.laurenhutton.com/foundation-m鈥?/a>
Hope this is helpful for you.
bobbi brown do a concealer pot, it looks really nice and one of my friends raves about it.
i would say, concealer cannot make skin look made up unless you put alot on.
If you want a medium coverage and something that covers spots %26amp; imperfections.
I would say to use BB (blemish balm) cream. its a main source product from asia.
originally from germany for post plastic surgery patients, to cover up scars gently to make the skin look more attractive.
I own a bb cream
and its great, works as a concealer %26amp; light foundation
does not give full coverage though.
but if you want a more perfect coverage i would set it with powder after.
I use the BONSKIN BB cream
its used for everybody, like a medicated cream tinted.
and it blends. makes your skin look dewy with lusture.
you can get it from Ebay very cheaply, cheaper than any foundation (i have found)
Good luck
Maybelline New York's mineral foundations. They're called Mineral Power Natural Perfecting Liquid Foundation and Mineral Power Natural Perfecting Powder Foundation, and not only do they provide quite good cover without having to use too much, they have a really nice, luminous finish, and they're oil, talc and fragrence free which will prevent your pores from becoming clogged, causing breakouts.
I've been searching high an low for concealers and have found one im happy with. In the day i tend not to wear foundation so use concealer but found it difficult to find one that matched my skin.
I used Bobbi Brown creamy concealer, comes in loads of shades isnt too thick and isnt too thin. Comes with a powder to set it and stays on.
Downside is you dont get a huge amount but a little goes a long way.
Dinair Airbrush Makeup...it makes my skin look flawless but it never gets cakey or gross...it looks like i just have naturally amazing skin! It looks super natural...if u want to see pics of what it looks like just google Dinair and you'll find their site.
oil based concealer-Clinique compact concealer
liquid Foundation-Benefit, Clinique, or Diorshow Airflash
powder foundation (or concealer)-Bare Minerals
DEFINITELY worth the extra cost!
I dont use anything but bareminerals! It's the greatest and long lasting! you dont have to worry about it clogging your pores because it's all natural. They have really good eye shadows too!(Lots of fun colors)
For concealer I highly recomend Covergirls Fresh Complexion
IT'S AWESOME
For foundation maybe you could try True Blend
i use elf concealer and clinique foundation.
NEUTROGENA :)

Girls - how do some of you achieve that natural look even with foundation on?
For me, it always either looks like I have too little or not enough foundation on. How do I achieve a nice balance - covering up my blemishes but not looking caked on?Girls - how do some of you achieve that natural look even with foundation on?
I just use moisturizer, and then wait 15 minutes until it is absorbed in my skin (or else the makeup sticks to it and gets patchy) then use a powder foundation. It's not too thick or hard to spread, it comes with a sponge in it, and i just spread it out. If i don't use moistuizer, my skin is dry and the powder actually looks powdery and gross, but it ends up looking smooth if i do it that way. Its not amazing for really brutal pimples, but for my overall skin it works. I just use cover-up and then foundation on the actaul blemishes.
Hope this helps!
Good Luck xoxo!Girls - how do some of you achieve that natural look even with foundation on?
i recommend cover girl AquaSmooth. i love this product. it's really easy to put on and the coverage is buildable without looking like its caked on. it looks really natural so it won't look like you have tons of make up on. i use it with one of the cover girl pressed powders and it looks great.
put some concealer on your blemishes or just a a light coverage mineral foundation, maybelline has a good one. dip your brush LIGHTLY in it and blow on it to get more product off. just dont use a lot.
make sure its your skin tone, though. thats very important.
then, use a nude gloss or a light pink one and one coat of mascara. instead of mascara, you can just line your waterline with black or brown mascara.
Dont use foundation as a concealer. Use some concealer on your blemishes and dab, dont rub. Then use a really light mineral foundation instead of a cakey thick one. All you need is enough to hide discoloration.
Sometimes, for me anyways, when I know I have makeup on, I feel like its too thick, even when its not. Just make sure its not in your head. Good luck!
i use a primer [Lorac's Aquaprime]
then i use Lancome's Corrector concealer
then Chanel's Teint Naturel foundation
i don't usually use powder, if i do, just in my t-zone area, this way my skin looks silky and the primer helps it all stay in place
the key to it all is to use good healthy products so you dont end up looking cakey
All you have to do is moisturize first, then put on a thin layer of foundation. then put on a lipstick thats not so dark colored. thats what i do, but its different for different people. the most important is to make sure your foundation matches your skin color though!
hope it helps!
You should try a spray on foundation. It covers everything up but is still really light.
I use one by ERA that is amazing!
It is a bit tough to get used to applying at first, but after a few tries you will love it!!!
I use mineral powder foundation instead of normal liquid foundation. It gives good coverage without being ';cakey';. I know what you mean though...before I starting using mineral powder, foundation always looked extremely thick on me.
I use Revlon Mineral Powder.
use water based foundations with no oil
i recommend maybelline's pure makeup .. i've used it for like a year now.. it's amazing and it looks so natural. doesn't cause pimples either cause it's non-comedogenic
good luck :)

Well, it didn't let me do that, so I'll e-mail it to you.

Best natural but flawless looking foundation?
I need a new foundation because I've just run out, I usually use MAC Studio Sculpt but it's really heavy, shiny and looks like you're wearing way too much even if I only use little amounts. I want a foundation which makes me look flawless but relatively natural, more of a matte look. I don't really have oily skin or dry skin and my skin's quite good, one spot every month or so maybe but thats it. Any recommendations?Best natural but flawless looking foundation?
bare minerals is amazingBest natural but flawless looking foundation?
surprising, i love MAC maybe try their studio fix?
i have pretty good skin too and i hate it when my makeup makes me look shiny because i don't have oily skin!
In experience, the best makeup/foundation i've ever used was Make Up For Ever HD Invisible Cover Foundation (DiorSkin Nude comes in second for me). it's light, long wearing, flawless and absolutely perfect. i def. you can get from sephora for $40 pricey but its completely worth it.
just make sure you have a light loose powder to finish up with and you'll look flawless.
hope i helped!
NARS,by far.
they have such high quality makeup,its unreal. they are very expensive. foundation runs at $40-50. but it worth it for all their products. they look natural and they blend right into your skin. there are 16-20 different colors to choose from and the best part is that you dont have to use brushes because their foundations are made to be applied with your hands since your skin warms it before you put it on your face,making it even easier to blend.
stay away from MAC. their foundations clog pores,and cause breakouts even if your skin isnt sensitive. makeup artists have told me that MAC cosmetics are good for on camera but for everyday wear,they are too heavy. hope that helps(:

I recommend Dinair Airbrush Makeup kit. Airbrushing make up is always a good choice when you want a flawless coverage. Since you mix your own foundation color, it always matches your skin.
Check out the following link. I think this is the best for make your skin look flawless.

M.A.C minerlized skin finish liquid. it works really good :) i recommened useing the mac 187 to striple it on and then blens with a foundation brush. hope this helped
