Hey I was wondering if anyone could help
I desperately need a new foundation, but I don't really know what to look out for (you'll soon find out i'm a bit of a novice
).
The problem is that I am quite pale. I recently picked up "L'oreal true match foundation" in N1 Ivory, which I bought mainly because it was a perfect match for my skin colour. However, when I applied it the next day, I realised I'd made a mistake in that I hadn't read any reviews, and this was absolutely terrible on my dry skin.
The main area for dry skin is on my forehead, but I also suffer it on my nose and some small patches on my cheeks. I apply a prescription moisturiser every morning before applying make-up, and every evening before bed.
I bought an MUA primer at the same time of purchasing this foundation but it still highlights my dry areas.
The reason why I would prefer a full coverage is because my skin tone is quite uneven with scaring, and I also often have big spot/acne breakouts on my cheeks. I currently use Collection 2000's concealer which is working brilliantly, but I'd like to have a bit more coverage from a foundation.
I was therefore wondering if anyone has the same problems as me, and could recommend a good foundation. I don't mind spending a bit more money on high end foundations if they work well/ are a good match for my skin type.
So I feel like i've wrote a bit of a life story there haha.
Moral of the story:
Recommendations?
Where's the best place to purchase/get colour matched?
Which brands give free samples/is it worth trying samples first?
oh and how is best to apply foundations? (i've always used my fingers)
Thank you!!
