So, I am looking to buy new foundation. I've looked online a little, just to get an idea, but I can't decide. So if y'all could post some of your favorite foundations that you like, that would help. :)

What skin type do you have and what Finnish do you want.

Drugstore or high end.

Either really.
I have medium-tan skin.
I'm looking for a foundation that isn't real thick and last all day.

Thanks for all the suggestions. 😊

@Stephanie I believe what Kristina means is whether you have dry or oily skin, it helps to know as you don't want to put on a foundation meant for oily skin when your skin is dry or vise versa.

Oops, sorry. My skin isn't oily at all. It's not really dry either but every now and then it's gets a little dry.

You probably have a combination of both dry and normal skin. your looking for a foundation that is thick and last all day? I really suggest you in buying Estee Lauder double wear foundation It is defently a long wear foundation and the coverage is flawlessly amazing, it is a thick coverage foundation but it depends on how you apply it.

Mariam..great suggestion. I'm also a fan of Make up Forever HD. Lately, I've just been sporting "It" Cosmetics CC Cream. It's light with buildable coverage to medium, plus it evens out skin tone and packs some SPF. I add a few drops of a pearl moisturizer or use my UD "Dew Me" when I want a more dewy finish. I'm not sure if UD still makes that diminishing spray though. Hmm As for drugstores, I'm a huge fan of Revlon's Photo Ready line. The wear is long lasting and has great coverage. I use a hydrating primer with it to avoid any dryness.

I've got a few as I also have normal/dry skin! From the drugstore I love the classic L'Oreal True Match and True Match Lumi. The original is a more full coverage, and the Lumi is quite sheer and gives a beautiful glow to the skin. They are both very blendable, and have a nice semi matte finish on the skin. I find that it lasts pretty long when used with a primer, setting powder, and/or setting spray. I also love the original Revlon Colorstay. It is pretty full coverage though, but you can use a small amount when applying too. These are definitely my favorite drugstore foundations!
On the high end side, I really like that Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hr Full Coverage Foundation. Don't be fooled by the name, it isn't very full coverage. It feels natural and light on the skin and is also very blendable. It also has a semi-matte finish on my skin. I really love this foundation though. It covers what it is supposed to and manages to look natural.

Sephora is great about foundation samples. I snagged three my last visit as they could clearly see I was there to make other purchases. Some cosmetic counters will also give samples. Good luck! :)
