I have Combination skin. I have yet to find a foundation that does everything I would like. Basically I want medium buildable coverage, matte finish that looks natural, and lasts at least 8 hours. Any suggestions?

There are many great foundations, but no miracle products. If your foundation isn't lasting all day, there are probably things you could do other than changing the foundation. Maybe you aren't using the right primer for your skin? Are you setting it with a powder? You try really pressing the powder rather than buffing it on the really set the foundation onto the skin. And if it isn't looking natural enough, it may be in the way that you are applying it as well! Just play around with what you've got =]

I would suggest getting a primer, and trying Revlon Color Stay. They have a formula for Oily/Combonation skin and one for Normal/dry skin. I always suggest that foundation to my friends and they always are happy with it. The only downside to it is it has kind of an odd smell.

Thank you for all of your suggestions! I will try it all.

@Mandy K.: I have heard great things about the YSL Teint Resist. I'm going to try that next. I don't mind the price as long as it does what I expect. I'm also wanting to try the Armani foundation. I hear feels like silk on your face. :)
