IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream, great for dry skin, full coverage and has so many benefits packed inside. Also SPF 50 physical sunscreen. I love this stuff and always have a back up. Get it at QVC and you can usually get a brush with it.

Bare Minerals Original Mineral Foundation (paired with the Tinted Mineral Veil). It makes me look like I’m not wearing makeup at all and that I just have great skin (I don’t). It keeps my oily skin under control for most of the day, and if I ever fall asleep with my makeup on, it doesn’t mess my skin up. I love it. Read more

I need good coverage from foundation, so for the longest time I thought that meant I needed something thicker and heavier. By the end of the day though, the coverage was awful and it was just way too obvious that I was wearing foundation. I made the switch to Urban Decay’s Naked Skin Weightless Foundation and I’m

In addition to all you mentioned, it spreads like butta across your face! It’s really ridiculously easy to apply with your fingers or a brush. I find I don’t need or waste a lot of product. Read more

YES. Came here to add this exact product. I initially was using the non-oil-free version, but I accidentally bought the oil-free one last Christmas, and I feel with my oily/combo skin, it holds up better throughout the day than its oil-full (?) counterpart. Cosigned also on the lasting a long time -- I think I can get Read more

I’ve been using Too Faced Born This Way and Dior Star for ages, but the last few weeks I tried It Cosmetics CC+ and I think we have a winner! Great coverage, but avoid putting too much on so you don’t look greasy. Read more

Burt’s Bees BB Foundation is incredible! It’s one of the smoothest (especially if you use a moisturizer first) and has a nice soft yellow tone. Seems fairly healthy, too. Read more

Bare Minerals Original Foundation. Buildable coverage that doesn’t feel bulky. When I prime first, I get long lasting results that don’t get patchy. Matches my skin pretty perfectly. It is nothing new or flashy, but it gets the job done and well. Read more

I really like Smashbox’s Camera Ready BB Water. It’s very sheer but is buildable and doesn’t leave my face feeling greasy or like I’m wearing a ton of product all day. I don’t even have that great of skin (yay adult acne and acne scarring!) but with concealer, BB water and a little transluscent powder to set it all, I

I have nothing to add except that I’m very excited to see the results from this! I don’t wear foundation often and float through different brands when I do, and am trying to support more inclusive cosmetic companies when possible. Read more

Clinique Almost Powder - neutral fair. This stuff goes on like a dream, quickly - provides full coverage if you need it, use less if you don’t (I am rosy and blotchy but have otherwise good skin) and while it does settle in creases like most foundation, it’s not too bad. And it’s $27. And I don’t break out from it. Read more
