Welcome to my new weekly feature, Makeup Monday! I’m starting with the basics: foundations.
My favorite foundations include Armani Sheer Luminous in 6 when I’m tan, 5 when I’m not. I also like L’Oreal True Match, a much less expensive option. I usually use Sun Beige, but have gone a few shades lighter since I’m not able to tan as much these days. My third favorite is Cinema Secrets, a creme foundation which I apply with a makeup sponge. It’s not as easy to apply or as refreshing feeling as the liquids, but I feel it stays longer and has less chance of looking blotchy than a liquid.
I’m always looking for better, though. What are your favorite foundations?
Mac studio fix liquid
Mine is l’oreal true match in n2, classic ivory. I really want to know your favorite nude lipsticks and glosses!! Also, how to you keep your hair from not looking frayed. Please tell the secret!!
Mine is MAC studiofix. I always try new foundations and always end up going to MAC. I always get comments on my skin and how great it looks when I have it on.
I love Emani’s Crushed Mineral Foundation! Gives that airbrushed look! http://www.shoppurelyposh.com/collections/face/products/crushed-mineral-foundation
Hey Holly- What would it cost to have you do a Makeup Monday about one of my products if I sent you some free ones? They are all natural and free of toxins and animal and eco friendly! I would love to send you some free ones to try!

My fave foundation AND power is Motives by Loren Ridinger (and yes I represent the line!). We make awesome mineral powder foundation and powder. You can wear them alone or together. They are 100% natural and are actually good for your skin, and therefore IMPROVE your skin rather than clog your pores! Check it out! http://www.shop.com/Motives+reg+Liquid+Powder+Mineral+Foundation+with+SPF+15-536366005-p+.xhtml
That Armani foundation is really the best! It’s actually called “Luminous Silk”, and it makes your skin absolutely GLOW and look so dewy, but not in an oily way… love it!!
Holly,
Now to find a powder to help with shine. Any suggestions?
I am so fair complected that I have went through many foundations to try to find the perfect one. I found it this past fall at the MAC counter in Macy’s. I went through 2 foundations to find this perfect one. I use MAC Studio Sculpt NW15. It is smooth, non-streaky, and blends perfectly!
