I need a new foundation. I have 2 that are so old, I need to throw away (marked with *). That leaves me with 2 others that I'm not thrilled with.

(Swatches bottom to top)
Naked Skin 3.5* (way to dark and orange now)
CoverGirl cgSmoothers BB fair-light* (decent color)
Maybelline Dream liquid mousse 40nude (dark)
Wet n Wild photofocus Rose Ivory (color not perfect)

So, basically I'm looking for a color match, in sheer to medium formula. I have normal to dry skin, and I can get a little sweaty in my t-zone

I'm so in love with the clinique Chubby in the Nude foundation stick - I'm in the shade Intens ivory and for reference I'm 2.0 in the Urban Decay naked skin foundation :)

The Chubby in the Nude foundation is a sheer to medium coverage and has a very natural finish on me! Also the stick looks pretty small but seriously last you a long time!

For drugstore I love the Bourjois healthy mix Serum foundation, coverage and finish wise its very close to the clinuque stick this is just a very thin liquid that feels great on the skin!

Thank you Sabrina! I have no idea how I found those shades, the urban decay and the Maybelline ones are so not my color. I don't even know if in the summer I'm that color! Lol.

Oh, I should ask, how do you apply the Clinique foundation.

I just "draw" it on! 2 strips on each cheek, one on my forehead and one on my chin :)

Should've clarified: do you use sponge or brush to blend out?

Oh hahaha sorry ;) I use a flat top brush - but I never been much for sponges - om sure a sponge would work just fine tho!

Have you tried the Nars Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer? I love it when I'm more on the dry side and it has a sheer, but buildable coverage. The finish is satin and has a great shade range :)
