I have combination skin...oily some days butdry some other days. I've gotten the dry half a little under control thanks to a really good moisturizer, but sometimes my face is a little oily and I have troubles with foundation now. I've tried all types, liquids, powders and mousse kinds. I feel liquids are always too heavy, powders don't cover properly, and mousses seem to get absorbed into my skin and I look just like I've never put make up on.
I'm looking for a light foundation with pretty good coverage, but my main request if for something that LASTS. I feel like any make up I put on just disappears within a few hours and I'm back to looking like poo. haha Thanks for the help!

just_ask_me answered Thursday June 4 2009, 1:34 am: Hey.. I have combo skin too and I use L'Oreal True Match liquid makeup. It never gives me trouble, and is heavy enough to cover imperfections/blemishes BUT light enough so you can't really tell you're wearing it and can barely feel it. They have millions of shades, so you will DEFF find you're exact color.
If you don't want to try that, you can always add a bit of water to any liquid you have and it makes it less heavy. Stay away from the mousse kind, they never seem to workout for me either! [ just_ask_me's advice column | Ask just_ask_me A Question ]
