Still Need Foundation Help

Posted by lisb (My Page) on

I posted a previous message about my experience with Bare Minerals. What I forgot to mention is that I am woman of color and cannot use many of the products on the market since they don't include shades of brown. Does anyone know of a good foundation, preferably powder or cream-to-powder that will provide at least moderate coverage and is suitable for sensitive skin?

Thanks,
Lis

I can't recommend a powder, but Bobbie Brown has a nice stick foundation that I can recommend. You could call it a "cream" I guess. I think you could try it at a Sephora or a department store (Nordstrom's, Neiman Marcus, etc.). Good luck.

If you liked using mineral make up a brand called Monave is geared for women of color. Monave is less expensive by far than Bare Minerals too.

You can buy samples to assure the correct colors.

I would say Elegant Minerals is better for women of color. My best friend is has beautiful dark dark skin.

She's tried Monave and the dark colors aren't really as natural as she hoped. they were too orange-yellow. The darker shades were shiny like eye shadow.

She tried the Elegant Minerals for women of color and liked them much better.

We've both been using that brand for awhile now, because the colors and prices are the best.

Lancombe makes their Dual Finish in a couple of darker colors. It is a powder that you wet with a sponge and apply. It then dries to a smooth velvety finish and is great for those who have a problem with oily skin.
