Need foundation recs please

[jamlsull]

I currently use Revlon colorstay & have liked it ok. But when I look at myself during the day it seems like it really settles into every pore/line I have & the coverage isn't as good as at application. So I think I want to try something else.

My skin is on the oily side & I need something with good coverage for old acne marks (anyone know of something that works for those?)

I use a primer & Amazing Cosmetics concealer on blemishes & to help cover the acne marks.

Could it be a need a better primer to prep my skin to prevent the settling in pores? I'm just not sure which direction to go here!

The price tag might come as a shock if you're used to buying colorstay, but I love love love Dior diorskin foundation. It's about $50 for a bottle, but the coverage is awesome and lasts forever. I use foundation mostly to even out redness in my skin, and thus stuff works wonders, but still feels really light, like tinted moisturizers.

What kind of primer are you using??

You may wanna start with a new primer before you go through the process of finding a new foundation, since it will be easier.

I use MUFE Mat Velvet and I love it, I also have oily/combination skin and this really helps from looking shiny. I would give this a try!

Before this I wore MUFE HD, which I loved too but started to notice that I woulod get shiny halfway through the day, I don't think this foundation is really meant for oily skin.

I've been using the Monistat chafing gel as primer. But I've also tried Smashbox, Sephora brand, Spackle & haven't been impressed with them-mostly for oil control.

I just started using the new Revlon ColorStay whipped foundation and LOVE it. In fact I love it more than my MUFE stuff and my Chanel VA.

I use Too Faced primed and poreless and I love it. The also have a version for oily skin, but I haven't tried it yet, as the primed and poreless still works well for my oily skin.

Colorstay reformulated years ago and that's when I stopped using it. The OLD formula was much better- it had real staying power. The new formula is thinner and greasier. After the reformulation I was only able to use Colorstay by adding concealer cream to it and mixing to get a better consistency. Dermablend is my favorite.

I'm really liking the new Tarte clean slate primer (poreless version, in the purple tube). I use MUFE Mat Velvet foundation, but I just recently tried Clinique Stay Matte foundation and really like it as well.

I love the Armani Luminous Silk Foundation. It covers, looks natural and feels great! a cheaper drugstore brand, Loreal Color Match is pretty good.

I use Stila One step primer.
