YOU DEFINETELY!!!!!! DON'T BELONG HERE WITH US....... So, please post somewhere else...!!!! Susanne(SUE)

I have such oily skin, it is so hard to deal with! Think I've tried every drugstore brand of foundation and they all feel so sticky and nasty. I read a review for the Kat Von D Tatoo Makeup that just came out. It's supposed to be super lasting and good for us oily girls. Am going to Sephora this weekend to get some samples. Last month I got a powder called Mattify Ultra which is really helping. It isn�t a foundation (just a powder) but I use it under and over my Colortration Foundation. It stops me from having to do so many touch ups. There is one called Mattify Tinted which is like a powder foundation I guess. Haven�t tried it yet but am curious. More makeup places need to come up with makeup that will stick to oily skin and stop the oiliness!!!

I will turn 60 in August. I also have rosacea, but not so mild - plus ocular. My skin has always been extremely dry (naturally dry - I can't and don't use acids and didn't use "Snap" in the day when it was so popular. Of course I did suffer cystic acne and have the scars to prove it. I am very pale with a severe yellow undertone, plus am very acidic so everything changes on me. I hate the mask look that you want to avoid - I prefer a dewy finish. Certainly, check out the mineral makeup as recommended, but it doesn't work for me - my skin is way too dry. I use oil based, full coverage foundations. Is your skin normal, oily, combo, dry? (Many 60 year olds have oily skin.) My foundation is not cheap - but it will last all day - I just use a touch-up of loose powder. I am very careful with concealers - especially around the eyes due to the ocular rosacea. You will first need to determine your skin type, then find a foundation colour that works with your skin, and with a finish that you like. For me, unfortunatly it is either Cle de Peau SATIN or Sisley Transmat. You will never be able to really cover the scars and the rosacea flush will happen no matter what - it is the "hives under the eyes" that I really hate. I am worried that my Cle foundation may be d/c - so am on a search but am having colour issues with my 3.5 ph. Tried Dior Capture but colour was ashy - even in lightest shade. Also be careful of foundations that can provide a bit of coverage or layered for more coverage. This is fine as long as the pigment is not too dense. If pigment is very dense, the more you layer it, the flatter the finish - and you will end up with the dreaded matte, mssk-like look. I do wear a lot of my foundation, but one woman my age uses the same product and appears to be wearing more foundation that I am - yet I use 4 times the amount. My well-moisturized skin drinks it up - which may have helped my skin since I don't have nearly the wrinkles I should have for someone with paper-thin skin. Hope you find something that works for you.

I looked around a bit but did not see anything.
