I need to find a new foundation! I know exactly what I want in a foundation. I have been breaking out recently. I want a foundation that's healthy for the skin, doesn't get oily, cream in texture, medium to full coverage, and with a nice dewy finish. Btw,I've been using MAC. I've been looking into Make Up Forever HD and NARS and am not sure if they're the right choices.
I use MAC Studio Fix Fluid and tried the Make Up Forever HD and couldn't stand it. I'm sure it works for some people but after just a couple hours it stated looking/feeling terrible. It started getting that separated look and seemed to get kinda oily. I used a primer and MAC skinfinish powder which I love and really helps with my oilyness. I have yet to find what your looking for that I like as much or even close to my MAC. :/
I'm looking for the exact same thing!! I love the Revlon Colorsty Whipped, but it's not very Dewey. I actually like the ELF Flawless Finish Foundation. It medium to full coverage, definitely Dewey, supposedly oil free. But I don't know if it's what has caused me to break out ={ seems like I'll never find why I'm looking for ={
If the MAC studio fix is making you break out and oily it's because the bases on the studio fix are already oily I have couple of oily spots on my face and what I do is moisturize my face then prime it with a NYC primer then apply the studio fix once it's all applied grab a napkin or oil absorbing sheets if you have any and dab it all over your face especially where u get the most oily parts. Then set it with a translucent powder and your set my face looks matte and full covered 😄💜👌
I love the MUFE HD- but you have to use a primer with this foundation! I also use a sponge- I found I get better results with it than a brush. But I love the look of it- slightly dewy, medium to full coverage.
Which MAC foundation have you been using? Have you been stressed lately? Have you made other changes that may be causing breakouts (e.g., change of diet)? What's your skincare routine?
I particularly like Face Atelier, for a dewy finish you can always apply MAC's strobe liquid under any foundation to create that look and finish with MAC Fix Plus spray. Your breakouts may not be from the foundation alone. You may want to adjust your wear pattern of foundation, make sure you have a great skincare routine, drink plenty of water to flush toxins from skin and make an adjustment to your diet.
For a more Dewey look I'd say Nars Sheer Glow, it's got fantastic coverage with a natural Dewey look. Believe it or not Bare Minerals is amazing as well, their "Original" line has a luminescent sheen to it so it looks natural and can be worked to full coverage. <3 hope this helps Hun!! :)
You won't know until you keep trying other products, thats how you find your HG, and everyones skin is different/reacts different to every foundation. I use Nars Sheer Glow, while i love it, you may not... and warning: Nars foundation is light/medium coverage. If you have acne you want to cover up, google full coverage foundations.

You can get a dewy finish with almost any foundation by applying it with a damp sponge, I would suggest the MUFE HD foundation. Good luck!
