Hey guys! Whats your FAVE foundation and why? Why do you like it? What do you use it for? What aspects about the foundation cause it to work so well? Ingredients that you like and dislike? What tools do you prefer to use with it?

Viseria... pretty much all their foundation for me

RCMA for me.  I use it with the thinner, sometimes a moisturiser or revlon skinlights.  I also like kryolan.

RCMA is great.  It goes on evenly and stays on for hours.

RCMA for professional use.

On myself, I love Paula Dorf Perfect Glo, Lola Liquid foundation or Revlon Skinlights.

I don't like wearing heavy foundation, and I have really great skin (after years and years of terrible skin, it's finally clear, so I'm very proud of it).

The Skinlights product that I use (Diffusing Tint Foundation) is very translucent and has a lot of illuminating particles in it, so it makes my skin look all glowy/dewy. I usually just apply my own foundation with my fingers and find that the creamy liquid blends very well.

I've never used it on a shoot, so I'm not sure how it would look in a photograph, but I could guess that it would probably make the skin look very shiny or even greasy, because of all the light reflecting particles in it.
