Cream Foundation

After years of using liquid foundation, decided to simplify my life a little and try something different. Was mostly unhappy with the way my face would feel after having the foundation on for the whole day and having to do powder touch-ups. Was at the time, using face cleansers from Shiseido and happy with their products, so decided to try one of their foundations. The saleswoman recommended "the make-up hydro liquid foundation". It's a cream foundation that goes on with a sponge and feels clean on your face. It gave a natural look when I had it on and didn't feel heavy on my face. And of course, it had SPF 20 for those SoCal rays.

You buy the case and the make-up separately and the first purchase will set you back about $40.00. The case is only about $10.00, it's the makeup you pay for. I don't recall this causing any break-outs, but everyone's complexion is different and cream foundations may not be the way to go for some people. Although I did like the product, for the price, it just didn't last long enough for me and I was just getting lazier and more frugal. So a few years back, I wanted to simplify my life again and started using tinted moisturizer instead. Laura Mercier - that's a whole other post though.

This is great! I may try to look for this and then also the dior skin foundation. I really like that it is a face application with a brush. Makes it so easy.

I did check out the laura mercier tinted moisturizer (sample) color didn't match too well with my skin (a girl "matched" my skin tone at nordstrom and gave me a sample with the primer) but gave me a yellowy complexion.
