Just bought this but I feel like it will be my holy grail.
urban decay naked skin
40$
acne prone and combination
brush
not sure about durability yet. I don't keep it on that long
pro is that it is medium coverage for me but it's also very build able and it looks great on my skin
haven't found a con yet but I heard it doesn't last too long on the skin

I don't have a HG. I switch up between Loreal Lumi & Loreal Pro Glow. And I will sometimes mix in a little Marc Jacobs Remarcable for extra coverge.

I've got two holy grail foundations. I always go back to them and just use them all the time. One I use for like everyday since it's something I can apply in the car really quickly whereas the other I do have to set.

MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation.

Price: $28

Skin Type: normal to oily

Coverage: light-medium but can be built up more although not completely full coverage

Way to apply it: I like a dense kabuki brush, it give the most coverage and using a clockwise and counterclockwise motion?...buffing.

Durability: I use fix+ over it and it helps the powder sort of "set" and it does last all day for me.

Pros: easy to use and apply, good coverage, lightweight, photographs nicely, great color range which is very important to me, I'd say this is probs the only product that has a shade that matches me 100%, great for everyday.

Cons: N/A


My other holy grail I like to use more for weekends out, dates, photos etc

MAC Studio Fix Fluid.

Skin type: normal to oily.

Coverage: medium-buildable.

Way to apply it: flat top buffing brush

Durability: lasts all night for me. I've worn it once for 10 hours and it still looked great, I did had to touch up but I've very oily.

Pros: long wearing, photographs nicely, makes face look very smooth and minimizes the look of pores quite a bit even without a pore minimizing primer, the NC shades in this range tend to be a little more yellow and have some olive shades whereas the newer foundation in the NC range look more peach which didn't match me personally,

Cons: probably that you have to buy a separate pump but I just reuse my pump when I repurchase a new bottle though

. Rimmel Stay Matte foundation
. about 6.00
. Combination
. Full coverage
. Flat top kabuki brush
. at least 7 hrs matte before needing blotting
. pros- It's inexpensive, great coverage, doesn't exaggerate pores or lines. It's always available at my drugstore, good shade match for my light skin. Cons- doesn't have a very good shade range, none for darker skin tones. can cling to dry patches

Great post, Simran! My biggest issue always is the best "Way you apply it." Thank you, Ladies, for participating!
