...and thats pretty much all I wear...I like really nice coverage, and I pretty much only wear sheer foundation (MAC F&B), TM, or BB cream on my entire face...other than that...I use regular foundation only on my cheeks or where I need it...

I have oily skin...and almost always use Milk of Magnesia before moisturizer...and acne prone if using the wrong products...

what about you guys?!

Lauren B. I've heard a lot of things about Maybelline Dream Matte...do you use the regular one? I know there are a few different kinds, a liquid, the mousse, then the cream or something like that...

I have tried their liquid foundation and the mousse and I am on my 5th load of it.I wear it everyday if that's what you mean.

Thanks ladies...often times, people will buy a foundation, and have no idea what other brands they match too...(example, if I am a N7 in MAC F&B I would probably be a Caramel in Revlon Colorstay Whipped)...this helps! :)
