I use Cover Girl age defying (not sure of the exact name, but it's in a pump). It's very MM and I prefer it over other brands. I hated bare minerals, though, so I think I am an anomoly.

I hate Bare Minerals too -- it will not sink into my skin at all.
I use Everday Minerals. Same concept as Bare Minerals but I like it better. Plus the reviews were better on makeupalley.com when I tried it. You can get five free samples of their colors to see which one suits you best.
I also love Givenchy Photofinish. Pretty similar to GA.
What's the coverage on this? I prefer a foundation that evens out my skin with a light coverage.
I've been using Stila Illuminating Foundation which I used to love. It looks great in the beginning of the day, but my skin has changed in the past year or two and I think it can make my t-zone look a bit oily by the end of the day (my skin had always been very dry, so it worked well then).
It covers well but feels really light. Its buildable, so it starts light and you add more if you want more coverage. I use 2 squirts with a brush and I dont feel like I am wearing anything.
I change foundations depending on the weather - in warmer months, I like to have something lighter, so I use Everyday Minerals. In cooler months, I appreciate more coverage and use Clinique stay matte.
Revlon ColorStay I don't see a difference on me between this and makeup forever HD so I'll save my $30
Good to know! I have used colorstay in the past and kind of liked it. I was considering buying makeup forever HD before I asked MM what are they using.
The cheapest foundation that works that I really like is Origins Stay Tuned ($28), but the shade I have is too dark for now (bought it in the summer) and I got my Giorgio Armani with a gift card. I wore the Origins on vacation and forgot I do love it. It feels heavier than the GA, though. It has really great coverage and lasts in humidity.
MAC Studio Fixx Fluid Great coverage, evens out my skin tone, looks matte all day but I set it with the MAC Skinfinish Mineral Powder. It's fairly MM and lasts me a long time. I have been using it for over 5 years now.
