I always use Olay moisturizer, and my foundation is Bobbi Brown Mineral Foundation. It's in the loose powder form.

I use all Mary Kay, and have for years. Not real big on fussing about make up, although I wear it every day. Just don't want to think about it. Use their timewise moisturizer daily and the mineral foundation. If I do say so myself I look pretty good for my mid-50s (!)

I use Lancome Teint Miracle. It goes on smooth and is not heavy or cakey. I also use an Olay moisturizer and Neutrogena sunscreen everyday.

I use MAC but lately I'm feeling like a change. Hourglass has been recommended to me so i might get a sample of that

I like the Revlon Colorstay as well. Haven't seen the whipped variety here, but will try it if I find it.
Edited to add: I have very dry skin and use the formula for normal/dry skin.

I've been wearing a foundation from Urban Decay that I got at Ultra called, "Naked Skin Weightless Ultra Definition Liquid Makeup". I heard about it on here-well on the Two Peas board. It's amazing! It comes in 18 shades, covers really well, but looks like you are wearing nothing and feels like you are wearing nothing. It's not cheap-$39.00 but worth every single penny. Plus Ultra always has coupons out there. They sell it at Sephora too. Ask the girls who work there for help to match you to a shade. You can return it at both stores if you don't like it. I LOVE this stuff! I'm 54. I do wear a primer underneath, but you don't have to. MIne is from Smashbox. Debbie in MD. Urban Decay is considered a prestige brand, so the Ulta coupons don't work on it.

I've been very happy with NYX Pore Filler and Napolean foundation Stick. The L'oreal Magic BB Cream is good for lighter coverage.

Bare Minerals. I like to look as if I have made a bit of an effort, but don't want to look clagged up. I like the fact that with Bare Minerals, a second 'coat' will upgrade the look to a 'going out' face, without being all sticky and gunky, and it gives a nice finished look.

I've gottem more in the habit of using the Uban Decay Naked Skin with a little bit of the Bare Minerals pressed foundation powder tapped over it when I want more coverage. Otherwise I use the Naked Skin to even out my tone and clear powder.

I loved Colorstay as well for many years but I noticed I was constantly buying bottles of it. Like I used it up too fast? I wish they had a pump on the bottle, I might switch back if they did that.

I have such dry skin. I use Lush British Nanny (or sometimes if it's very warm, Skin Shang-ri-la) and Lancôme Photogenic Lumessence. Sometimes even that goes scaly and I revert back to a tiny bit of that classic 80s throwback, Leichner Camera Clear, which has the advantage of being dirt cheap and lasts for ages, if you an get past the old lady makeup smell when you open the tub. I'm always on the lookout for something else that doesn't look flakey and scaly though Take a look at my blog to find out what I've been up to

I use Revlon BB Cream and Loreal True Match, both applied with a beauty blender. I saw a tip on YouTube that said to apply your moisturizer/BB cream/whatever first, then do a thin layer of powder, then your foundation and then another thin layer of powder over your T-Zone only if you have oily skin, which I do. I've been doing my face like that for the last few weeks and I love it. Here's a link to the video: youtu.be/EyQsVyGadbY

I had never thought of putting powder under the foundation. Might try this just to see what it looks like.

I use Bobbi Brown and apply it with a brush. I use Jurlique Mists and Oil of Olay moisturizing effects and sometimes I will wear alone or under foundation a BB cream. The Clinque one is pretty good. No powders unless I am having an oily kind of day (at the very end of peri-menopause or entering menopause whichever you like) from my hormones going awry.

Jouer tinted moisturizer with Bare Minerals mineral veil. Gives me full coverage and moisture and doesn't settle in fine lines or cause any breakouts. Love this stuff!

I wish I could wear Bare Minerals because I love the idea of just wearing a powder but I tried it for a few weeks and it brought my not particularly sensitive skin out terribly and made me look quite wrinkly. It gave me more spots than I've ever had. Take a look at my blog to find out what I've been up to

I use bare minerals ready foundation. I switched from the original about a year ago and I'm happy with it. I have heard great things about the Revlon Color Stay as well although I have not tried it my self.

This is what I use too and I love it. It has a lot of stuff in it that is good for the skin, especially for more mature skin.

I just started using the new Bare Minerals liquid foundation. I really love it. Prior to that I was using their powder foundation.

Does the IT Cosmetics products leave your face shiny? I typically only wear a sunscreen product under my makeup and would love something that had other benefits as well. My skin is normal to oily.

I use the it Cosmetics CC cream also. I love it! I usually set it with Bare Minerals powder foundation instead of setting powder and the coverage is perfect. I have dry skin and it leaves me with a nice dewy ( not greasy) look.
