make up foundation

[Guest amanda_s]

I am looking for a foundation to cover after i shave, starting laser is taking a little longer than i wanted. either i don't have the money or the time but in the next month i should be better. the foundation i have is running out. the place i got it isnt around any more. i want something off the shelf to. but i don't want to pay through the nose either.

thanks

Amanda

I love Dermablend, but I ran out. It is spendy, but the container lasts a really long time. Due to economics for me right now, I bought Covergirl 3 in 1. It is just ok and won't last nearly as long. That's my $.02 Jody

I am using cover girl 3-1 too. It is a really light make-up and a little more difficult to cover up any facial hair with.

Hey there Amanda,

I use Maybelline Mineral powder. Works great and not too bad on the price I have seen mineral powders out there that was much more. I have heard that Bare Minerals is the best for what your looking for from alot of people, however you will be paying way more for it. I bought this Maybelline stuff to see if mineral powder is really worth it but didnt want to pay too much for it.

Just my thought.

I had good results with a cream foundation made by Covergirl+Olay. I used to use it before laser started working it's magic. I think it's around...$12 at Walmart and Target. I think it also has spf 15 coverage as well. Oh you can find it at CVS and Walgreens, too, which is great for when they have makeup sales.

I am also a Derma Blend girl, the strongest coverage is the Cover Creme and it lasts a full day with excellent results. Their lighter Sheer Indulgence is also good for a full 18 hours depending on the shade a bit. Both are about $30US, but last over two months after you learn to apply them lightly enough. Like so many other foundations, trans girls tend to trowel them on, but with a gentle massaging in of the foundation, it really does well.

Ben Nye is what I recently started using and I very pleased with it.

Have no experience with other brands though

I am derma-blend girl, too... However, there are some great tricks to cover your shadow that I have learned, over time. I have really tried to minimize my make-up but still cover, what needs to be covered... Using a good primer (vaginsil makes an outstanding primer) and applying a light coat of orange lipstick on your shadow, will minimize the amount of cover-up required.

When you start laser, you will see a huge difference in the reduction your shadow... There where a few days, about 2 weeks after my first treatment, where I had no shadow and could go without make-up...

I have a very dark beard and have problems covering it. What I find works for me is a primer then Max factor pan stick as a concealer and MAC studio fix as a foundation. The pan stick is cheap and excellent value. I mix in a bit of red lipstick to help neutralise the beard and cover with the MAC. MAC of course is more expensive but a little goes a long way.

I use essence matt mouse in Ivory and also maybelline's foundation lasts like two months but I put on a lot because I have freckles and I don't like them

Am I reading this correctly? Vagisil makes a good primer?

and applying a light coat of orange lipstick on your shadow, will minimize the amount of cover-up required.

This is brilliant! I had heard that orange concealers (like the one MAC makes) are great for disguising that dreaded 5 o'clock shadow, but never considered orange lipstick. Thanks for the tip!

It seems several of you ladies use Derma Blend. I'll have to look that up, hopes in comes in my complexion. The only foundation that I have been able to find that matches my skin tone is made by Bobbi Brown, but it is very pricey, about $50! Where do I find Derma Blend girls?

I sometimes use Maybelline Mineral powder on days that i am running late,but for the most part Revlon nearly naked over Revlon photo ready concealer followed with Maybelline shine free loose powder to break the shine.Derma blend is a bit pricey,but i may try it sometime.
