Question Posted Saturday September 1 2007, 5:26 pm
ive been using bare minerals for about a year now, and im hooked on it. ive tried to use many other foundations and cant seem to find any that match to the amazingness of bare minerals. i would like to find a liquid foundation that i could use sometimes. i have dry skin, but i moisturize, which makes my t-zone oily throughout the day, so i guess you could say i have combination skin. i hate some foundations because they cake up where your skin is dry. so are there any liquid foundations that would look good on me?
please only tell me ones that you have tried and loved, not ones you just searched online and think will work for me.

It covers wonderfully but it's a different texture than your regular foundation. So you'll have to experiment a little to figure out what works best. It covers acne really well- and if concealer doesn't work for you, a thicker layer of it over uneven parts of your skin works like concealer does.
The other kind I have is Clinique Soft Finish makeup. It's a liquid and it covers SO naturally. I think it's because it's higher-quality, the pigments blend better or something. I got it from my aunt, so I don't know if that's the best formula Clinique has for combination skin (I have to use powder to control shine in my t-zone, but then again I always have). If you're going to buy makeup at a department store, the person at the counter will evalutate your skin and determine the best product for you, so you'll end up with the perfect one.
Regardless, that foundation is the best I've ever used. It NEVER looks flakey, and when it does wear off (which is only late at night if I've been really sweaty like in summertime) it doesnt look fake. Plus, whenever my excema flares up it covers the rash without looking yucky- therefore I practically worship the stuff =]
EDIT- Oh, if moisturizer makes your t-zone more oily than usual, try using moisturizer on just the dry parts of your face, sort of like you're balancing it all out.
