On the search for a new foundation (:

I've been stuck in the Mac Pro Longwear foundation rut & still absolutely love the product but am ready to try something different. I'm looking for medium buildable to full coverage with no spf. I like all matte, satin, and dewy finishes so not picky there.. My main overall goal is to find smooth, flawless coverage that isn't cakey. I've been debating on trying Nars All Day Luminous or MUFE Ultra HD but am open to all suggestions (:

Hey Shelby! Nice to see you :)
I really love the Estée Lauder double wear stay in place makeup! (In the bottle) it's lightweight, light-medium coverage (buildable) and had a gorgeous satin finish. Looks great on the skin.

Thanks for the suggestion though (: I so wish I could use double wear because the finish is so pretty but my skin is super sensitive to most spf foundations :(

Foundations with chemical sunscreen can often irritate skin, so it doesn't surprise me to learn that isn't a viable option for you. Is your skin dry, combo, oily?

Most of the time my skin is pretty normal & yes I have the hardest time finding spf, even in the high end selections :/

MUFE is more light to medium coverage. I'm not fond of the coverage of it. People say it's medium to full coverage but it's really not.

For full coverage that isn't cakey, no SPF, then I'd go with the RCMA foundation.
You only need a small amount to get a very good medium coverage and use a tiny more for full.
I'd say the finish depends on your skin type but you can easily work and alter the finish due to it being a cream, it's quite versatile

I hoard two things: skincare products and foundation samples. They actually reformulated Renee ' s suggestion and removed the SPF.

(Aurora also made a great suggestion.) I have the cream foundation and if you want an oil based formula, it is remarkably pigmented.

To add onto some of the suggestions, the Urban Decay Naked Skin foundation is gorgeous. I have sensitive skin and it has never given me issues.

Thanks so much for the suggestions! I've actually never heard of RCMA so I'll definitely check that brand out. Do they make liquid foundation too or is the cream really blendable? Also where can you buy RCMA?
Super happy to hear that Estee Lauder reformulated too! I know I like the finish on other people, I'll have to try it out for myself now (:
Is the UD Naked Skin buildable/full coverage too? Once I find something my skin agrees with it becomes my holy grail product so good to know it works for your sensitive skin (:

RCMA has been around for awhile, a lot of makeup artists use it on set for film and photos etc.it's very HD friendly, no flashback or anything.
I believe they only make their cream foundation but they do have a thinner in which you could mix it with the foundation to get a more liquid product.
I find that the foundation is quite creamy even though it's quite wax based but it really has to be set otherwise it'll slide around but once it's set, it's set. And is kind of water resistant but it is quite blendable.

To me, it's like the cream version of the MUFE HD just more pigmented and in a cream formula, plus I find that it lasts longer throughout the day

Thank you all so much for the information! It definitely helped out (: I'll be trying these! Is there a color chart or anything to help me get matched up to RCMA?

Oh my gosh how can I forget the ud naked skin?! That's my all time favorite foundation. It earns another recommendation from me as well.
