The Search for the Perfect Foundation

So, I've been searching for my perfect foundation for like forever now and I decided that I don't like any of them. Well, I don't know. It's just that none of them are truly perfect for me. But, I just wanted to share with everyone about the products that I tried.

Dior Icone: This is nice. I like most of the Dior's foundations. This has a thick consistency which makes it so perfect for drier skin types. I used this from time to time during the winter when my skin gets terribly dry. It has a great coverage and blends very well so you don't have to worry about the color being off or looking fake on your skin. This is a creme-to-powder formula so it doesn't make your skin too oily too. The packaging is pretty nice. It's not as cute as other Dior's products but it prevents leaking and helps you control the amount you want to get out, so I like it. And it's pretty sturdy as well. It doesn't feel very heavy on the face but it's not weightless. There's definitely some feeling but not heavy as if you are wearing a mask. All around a nice creme foundation for drier skin types.
***key points: heavy coverage, creme-to-powder, dry skin

Shiseido Sun Protection Stick Foundation: I bought this because my friend gave me a sunscreen from shiseido and loved it. I found out later that the sunscreen that my friend gave isn't sold in the US but the SA recommended this to me. I like this one too. It's a stick foundation and it's small enough to take everywhere. The coverage is supposed to be sheer, but I found that if it's pretty heavy, it doesn't make my skin oily, and the coverage lasts all day without fading. It doesn't run too. At first, I didn't like it because there's only 4 shades and none of them matched my face perfectly, but I tried two shades- ochre and beige- and the blend so well you can use it without looking horribly fake even when it's not a perfect match.
*** light - medium coverage, stick, any skin types

Shiseido sun protection liquid foundation: I bought this looking the stick foundation that I mentioned before. I can say that this is almost exactly the same as the stick foundation except that it has higher SPF and it's liquid. Also, it has a very light texture and feels very light on the skin. I kind of felt that this made my skin a bit matte, which I don't like that much because I have combination skin and mattifying products makes my skin flake.
*** medium coverage, liquid, normal to oily skin

Prescriptives Flawless Skin: I wrote a more extensive review of this before. I really love this. It creates a matte finish with heavy coverage.
*** heavy coverage, liquid, normal to oily

Almay Smart Shade: Compared to the other ones, I don't recommend this but it's an okay one to try when you can't find any foundation to match your skin.
*** light coverage, liquid, all skin

I only included the liquid/stick foundations at this time because the list got too long. Look for other reviews at my blog, standupforme.blogspot.com
