What is your favourite foundation and why?
Currently my holy grail is Mac Studio Fix Fluid, but I won't be repurchasing due it's lack of cruelty free status. I want see what other women are wearing. Also, while not a warm skin tone, I find that a lot of foundations darker women are way too red. I have a neutral skin tone and like a mix of red and yellow undertones. Anything too yellow looks grey, and anything too red looks like I'm covered in dirt.
Ladies, what are your favs?

Bobbi Brown Even foundation used to my fave but the ingredients were changed to include lavender and its a major irritant for me. Color matching was spot on perfect. I now wear Giorgio Armani Maestro and I love it. Perfect color match and a little goes a long way to give me a nice semi-matte finish. It just simply looks natural while blurring out minor issues. I have yellow undertones so its difficult to match me up sometimes...especially in the summer so I understand the headache about mixing undertones. I also love using mineral powder foundations as well. I now know why some beauties collect foundation...they all give the skin different looks.
