Hey guys!
For past few years I am searching PERFECT full coverage foundation, but I haven’t had much luck in the past. The best one so far was Loreal’s, but was actually not that good- I am not completely satisfied. I am getting run off ideas- do you have any recommendations> What is your favorite full coverage foundation?

L’oreal AirWear works fine for me- it comes in nautral and yellow based shades, which suits my skin tone, the trick is just to find the right shade for you. Some people do not find their skin tone in one shade, but they have to mix them-all you have to know is whether you have pink or yellow undertones, which is hard to tell on the basis of packaging. Do not judge by the paper- open tester and try it! Best is to do it under natural light. L’oreal truly works best for me, but yes, I agree it has some downsizes… and yes, it is hard to find a perfect one- for this to achieve, I think we will have to mix them.
I think it is awful that most of full coverage foundations are pink – not just for me, but for most of women- it gets, not even geisha look, but somewhat unnatural pink. I met an old friend few days ago- and we hugged, and all I was thinking when looking into her face: ‘you could choose a better full coverage foundation for your skin tone- she was way too pink.
When I feel like it, I go to the stores, I pick up few testers, and try them at home- I have the time there and I can see what it looks like under natural and different artificial lights. They must invent something that will make full coverage foundation especially for you- on the scene, like they do with wall colors. I mean it! I am using powders and full coverage foundations and concealers, and the only one I found so far (that I am very satisfied with in my old concealer, that I am having for 2 years now, in addition my roommate uses it also), but foundation- hmmm… I am stuck with L’oreal, but I cannot say this is my favorite full coverage foundation…unfortunately.
