MysticRain Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 I hate wearing base....but sometimes I need to sooo. What is a good...very light weight non liquid base that does well on covering up those blemishes and also helps with dry skin? And how do you match it to your skin? Try it on your arm or some shit? LOL....should I ask one of those pushy ladies at a make-up counter? Help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raincry Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 i hate wearing base makeup too.....but during that time of the month when i break out it's necessary...for me i think MAC works the best it's very light PLUS......it's the only line that i could find a shade that matches my skin tone (i'm dark olive complected)......when you're trying out shades i think the best place is the top part of your wrist....the other side hardly gets sun and so it never really is a good match to your face.

MysticRain Posted February 25 Author Report Share Posted February 25 Yeah....I don't really break out any other time except that time of the month too....and then I just feel like sticking my head in the ground. I heard a lot of peeps use Mac. And I never would have thought about my wrist. Thanks hun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tifferina7 Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 Ladies, now I have a question. I've been using Clinique city base foundation. It's like liquid and powder in one. Do you think MAC is lighter than this because I've been using this for years but would love to try something new. People always told me MAC foundation was real heavy. Raincry which one do you use?

Do you think MAC is lighter than this because I've been using this for years but would love to try something new. People always told me MAC foundation was real heavy. Raincry which one do you use?i couldn't compare it because i haven't used clinique. i got hooked on MAC a long time ago and i've stuck with it....i hate heavy foundations.....the whole point of it is that it looks like your natural skin. i use the select tint it's very sheer. i use this mostly when i'm going out and don't really want to worry about touching up. for everyday wear i use the studio fix powder and it provides a light cover up that i want and matches my skin tone perfectly which can be difficult to achieve with other lines.

linka Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 I don't use base anymore, but when I did, Prescrpitives Traceless was really light and soooo natural looking. It's also water based, so it won't make you break out more. It provides just the right amount of coverage without you looking "done."

xoericajadexo Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 I like mac and I know alot of my friends use it.......I'd rather go to one of those pushy sales ladies to get my make-up, I know they are annoying but they match your make-up well (I am horrible doing it myself its always off color).I have a question to:I break out during that time of the month to, I try to use a acne medication but I still seem to break out....anyone else find a way to calm their flare ups during that time of the month?

Also, make sure to use a water-based foundation and/or concealer. raincry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missroxy Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 I don't use base anymore, but when I did, Prescrpitives Traceless was really light and soooo natural looking. It's also water based, so it won't make you break out more. It provides just the right amount of coverage without you looking "done." i was going to suggest that, also prescriptives virtual skin is good too! the good thing about them is they color print you more accurately than any other counter. they can also custom blend color. i used to be one of those pushy cosmetic sales ppl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cetpahil face wash for sensitive skin available at CVS!!! I used to use expensive prodcust from clinique and pevonia and now i spend $10 and have never been happier. This stuff is great and doesn't dry out your skin, leaves it nice and silky smooth and is great for sudden breakouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
