Makeup help!

[Madison Paige]

Hey Ladies,

I've come to you for help (yet again ) I'm looking for a perfect foundation. I want something matte, but can cover very well. Also, I'm very fair/pinkish, which I've come to find is a very difficult color to match. Cost isn't really an issue, because honestly, I'm desperate for a foundation that works for me! If you girls have any recommendations, I would really appreciate it.

Besame in Bisque or any of the palest Bourjois shades. Matte Lovely by Bourjois has good coverage - but the Besame fits your requirements perfectly. I have the same kind of skin and I LOVE this foundation!!! Find it here:

Hope this helps!

Oh yeah - you should buy a couple of samples first, to make sure it works for you before you splash out. The coverage is very good so even the tiny samples last for ages. And the jar the foundation comes in has the added bonus of being vintage style... win-win!

Bare Minerals is wonderful. Not vintage, but very wonderful.

I second your choice...I hate foundation but I love Besame's. The bisque is a perfect match. I ordered a sample first and am still using it but I was able to buy the regular size on Saturday at their shop. Gabriela is just really sweet and it is fun to talk to her. She has a lot of new stuff coming out in 2007.

Good luck!

Lily Lolo's mineral foundation is very very good. It's in the UK though, but they have cheap and fast shipping. Tons of shades, too.

New stuff, eh? I hope it's that Art Deo style lipstick I saw advertised on their site. I'm dying to see it!

I'm also a big fan of Bare Minerals. The stuff is amazing! You can make the coverage as light or as heavy as you need, and it is actually good for your skin! When I wear foundation, I either use this or Burt's Bees tinted moisturizer if it is very dry or cold outside. On top of that, I use the Coty Airspun powder in Translucent. I don't need a heavy coverage, so most days I just wear the Coty powder in Translucent Extra Coverage and buff it on with a kabuki brush, much like Bare Minerals. It lasts all day and gives a nice matte finish, is dirt cheap, smells great, and comes in a super cute vintage container!

Yep, its the Art Deco lipstick, three new types of lipstick, and black and purple mascara. The lipstick if I remember right will be a new silicone type, a glossy and a moisturizing. I'm excited about the Art Deco too.

Take care,

JazzBaby mentioned Besame. The good thing about this cosmetic line is that they will send out a sample for a minimal fee and you can test it out to see how you like it.
