What's brand of foundation do you prefer? Help me!! I want to get the best kind of foundation for full coverage that is matte and is not too oily.

Estée Lauder Double Wear (the regular has pretty full coverage but the Maximum Cover has the fullest coverage) or Kat Von D Lock It Tattoo Foundation (:

Alexis is right about Double Wear. They have excellent coverage and you can be color matched. I'd ask for a sample to give more than one of their formulas a try. They make a Double Wear light as well.

Loreal Infallible Pro Matte is hands down my favorite! It gives full coverage on the 1st application and super full with second (:.
I've used and own Becca Ultimate Full Coverage, Lancome Teint Idole 24H, Nars All day Luminous, Nars Sheer Glow, Hourglass Immaculate, Estee Lauder Stay in Place, Estee Double Wear, Cover Fx, Kat Von D Lock It Tattoo, Clinique Acne Solutions, and others and they only work good for a while until they simply don't and it's frustrating /;.
Loreal Infallible is demi matte, so it can accentuate the dry spots so make sure to have a mosturized canvas ^.^. But it has grrreat coverage! I have hyperpigmentation from old breakouts and I tend to get red around my nose, between my eyebrows and cheeks and the foundation covers it up flawlessly! It's a grrrreat product for it topping all the high end foundations I own! Like seriously :D aha
Btw, I have oily skin and my oily areas peak through after 6 hrs of wear!

My application for coverage:

- I shake the bottle, apply lines of foundations onto the side of my palm as I slightly warm it without pressing into my palm and apply a lot, with my hand, as I glide the foundation onto the outer perimeter of my face (half of my cheeks and outwards) then add excess foundation to the rest of my face as I then use my MUFE straight Pro brush to smooth out the edges and under the eyes.
[Note to self, work with half your face 1st! The foundation dries fairly quickly so it's best to work with it at a time (:]

- After smoothing out the edges I follow it up with my semi-wet BB and use the big, bottom of the BB to press down on my whole face

- I let it set for 2-3 mins

- For fuller coverage on my marks, I then apply the foundation on the areas I'd like more coverage and again, I use the big, bottom portion of the Beauty Blender and press down on my whole face :3

Ta-daaaa! Lol. I just wanted to share my application that has been working for me for full coverage  c:

As for the EL Maximum Coverage foundation, their color range suuuucks /:. I got "matched" 3 times and the "in store match" didn't match the Natural lighting. I was so sad bc I hear it to be a great foundation but you might just have luck with the correct matching lol

Just a heads up :3

KVD Lock It Foundation, Estée Lauder Double Wear and NARS All Day Luminous. I use them all interchangeably. Beautiful finishes for all 3 and they're all full coverage.

Kat Von D Lock-It is my holy grail of foundation! It's not too expensive but most will splurge a little bit for anything going onto their face :)
