How Many Foundations Does One Person Need?

By on January 20, 2011 in Archive

I guess this all goes back to the “buying makeup for purpose or necessity” post.  I’ve realized that there are a lot of great beauty products out there.  I don’t know if it’s possible to say “This is my all time favorite [insert product here]“. As an avid beauty blogger and makeup enthusiast, I try new products all the time.  But it’s hard for me to say “Ladies, this is the foundation you need.  It’s perfect. It does everything.” I’ll use a product consecutively for a week, then “stumble” upon on of my old favorites, then throw it back into the equation.

It’s especially hard when it comes to foundations. To date, I have 6 foundations in constant rotation.

1. Make Up For Ever HD Foundation ($40)

2. Make Up For Ever Mat Velvet Foundation ($42)

3. Make Up For Ever Face and Body Foundation ($38)

4. Bobbi Brown Moisturizing Cream Foundation ($42)

5. MAC Studio Stick Foundation (discontinued)

6. Black Opal True Color Stick Foundation ($10)

Question of the Day: How many foundations do you own and what determines which one you’ll use for the day?

    I have 6: MAC Studio Sculpt, MAC Studio Fix Fluid, MUFE HD and Estee Lauder Double Matte. What really determines what I wear is what the occasion is and most importantly, will there be pictures? I love Studio Sculpt because it basically says “I don’t care what the canvas is like, we’re going to make it perfect!”… and it does! All. The. Time! The Studio Fix Fluid has spf so it always appears lighter in pictures which isn’t always the most flattering! The MUFE is just perfect because it mimics skin’s texture and doesn’t look like I’m wearing anything. And the Estee Lauder Double Matte is a perfect color match. Honestly, it matches better than my other shades but it’s too heavy for all over coverage so I actually use it as a concealer for larger areas. Ha. :)

    Also.. I’m loving this foundation series!! It’s very important and especially for woc it’s great to know options, stories, etc. and the fact that there IS a perfect match for each of us. Thank you!

    I think a woman needs only 2 foundations one light another medium coverage and a tinted moisturizer.

    Wow, six foundations, that’s quite a number. I used to have two or at least three but now i’m only down to one MAC.
