Foundation. It's tricky. It can either make your skin look flawless and perfect or make your face look darker or lighter than the rest of your body. Lets be real we have all seen women with super pale or tan faces as a result of their foundation. It is a bad look. I do most of my make-up shopping at Nordstrom, they offer free shipping and returns and just make my life easy. Plus they carry all the lines I love like Laura Mercier, Bobbi Brown, Nars, Chanel, and Dior.
Personally, I like a combo of a liquid tint plus a powder for an even coverage. For years I have used Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer. It works great, goes on smoothly and I love that it has SPF in it. It works fine but I have the itch to try something new.
I did a little research and asked around and these came up as top foundation recommendations:
I always love Bobbi Brown make-up and heard this duo is awesome.
I like that the powder provides full coverage and for me I find powders help cover my blemishes and lines better than a liquid. I like that you can then apply the foundation stick as needed.
Right now at Nordstrom if you spend $50 on Bobbi Brown cosmetics you get a free mini foundation stick- so a great time to try it out!
The other three foundations I have heard amazing things about are:
I read in Allure that a lot of make-up artists to the stars swear by the Dior foundation. It is supposed to be super light feeling with great coverage, plus it has SPF which is necessary in my opinion for daily wear.
I am never disappointed with Nars, I swear by their Laguna Bronzer, and Lipstick in Dolce Vita and Gypsy. So I have a feeling the foundation would be great plus their colors matches are pretty extensive.

The Laura Mercier Smooth Finish seems to have more pigment than the tinted moisturizer.
On a side note if you have not checked out the Nars nail polish collaboration with 3.1 Phillip Lim, you must! The colors are gorgeous, I want them all.
What foundation do you swear by? I would love to hear thoughts if you use any of the above that I am considering.
