I'm out of makeup foundation and refuse to go to work tomorrow without putting on my 'face'.

What Over-The-Counter makeup foundation do you use or prefer?
 
I *rarely* wear make up at all. I love the idea of it, but I'm just too lazy. lol
 
I don't wear make up either... my skin is so sensitive and I have reactions to most everything, even stuff that's supposedly hypoallergenic
 
no make up for me, my skin is very sensitive too... i´m having alot of red ugly spots on my face after using make up...
 
I can't use any. My skin is sensitive, plus liquid foundation makes me break out and the powdery kind makes me itch. And that's just with brands that I don't have allergic reactions too. Thankfully other than freckles (which I don't mind) my skin tone is even so I don't worry about it.
 
I can't stand liquid foundation. Makes me all itchy. But, I have too many sun spots to go without anything, so I've been using Neutrogenia powder foundation. It stays on pretty good, doesn't crease and most importantly it covers my spots pretty darn good! :) And it doesn't make me break out either. :)

There are two kinds... pressed powder (waste of money) and Sheer Foundation which I love. :)

I think it's so funny that no one likes liquid foundation! I hate powder foundation - but I don't find my liquid one too heavy at all. But it's not over-the-counter, it's Clinique.
 
I use a Covergirl/Olay product Simply Ageless. It's creme (not liquid or powder). I too am allergic to just about everything but this one works well for me. It also has an SPF value which is wonderful in Florida but it's the non chemical kind which I can wear. I haven't been able to wear anything but this one for several years now.
 
I don't really wear it often, but I do have some Bare Essentials and a compact from Body Shoppe.
 
I wear liquid foundation as well - I switch between a few, but right now I have Covergirl's NatureLuxe - the Taylor Swift foundation, and I like it. It's not heavy, but covers well. I also always brush on a little bronzer because I am as pale as pale can be, and it gives me a little color without looking too fake!
 
My foundation is Lancôme. No over the counter stuff for me. I've been using Lancôme foundation for over 25 years now. Love it!!
 
I use Loreal's True Match because it is one of the only ones I can find that match my pasty skin. LOL. I have to get the lightest colored neutral. It is funny because I have actually gotten "darker." I used to be almost white white white and people used to tease me about using kabuki makeup. :p
 
i've used Studio Fix Fluid - MAC but right now i'm trying Matchmaster - MAC (brand new here in brazil) and i'm in love with it.

I just use the Bare Escentials/ Bare Minerals powder stuff. It's not at a drugstore (if that's what you mean by over the counter) it's at Macey's, Sophia, etc. But you still do buy them over the counter... ;)

I've used it for 5 or 6 years, it's been the best and doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. :)
