What is a good foundation that blush sits well on?

My foundation seems sticky.. and when i apply powdered blush it looks streaky and unattractive. I was wondering if anyone knew of a good smooth foundation that goes well with blush.What is a good foundation that blush sits well on?
I swear by mineral makeup. As a beauty therapist myself and working with different ranges i have found the Ultraceuticals mineral compact powder to be really nice and long laster. and it also acts as a fantastic base for the ultraceuticals blush which i wear to work and it lasts from 8am when i put it on till when i remove it (usually around 10pm) so if u looking for something long lasting and a makeup u don't even realise u have on till u look in the mirror, mineral makeup is the best way to go!


p.s. I have also found since using mineral makeup, my breakouts have reduced dramatically. :) I hope that was the help u wanted.What is a good foundation that blush sits well on?
if you use liquid foundation - sounds like you need a foundation primer to give your foundation a more solid base so that is 'sits' better on the skin -


try benefit's that gal foundation primer in pink


or philosophy's the supernatural poreless flawless tinted spf





both are absolutely magic, they take a minute to sink in and even out the tone and texture of your face. then when you apply foundation you should be able to feel the difference straight away - it will 'adhere' better and look more even. it should also make it more matte, so you should not experience the sticky feeling you describe....


what kind of blusher do you use? you could try a cheek tint, like benefit's benetint, which they now do in a more rosy colour as well as the original red:

or you could try mineral make up foundation, which is a powder that should give you a nice matte finish so when you apply powder blusher on top there won't be any stickiness...


hope all this helps, good luck!
I am a professional makeup artist of 10 years and I agree mineral makeup is really the best. The least amount of chemicals, fillers, binders you can find the better. Many of these mainstream foundations become sticky, streaky, orangey, thick and cakey because of all the fillers and additives which can also break you out with time, even if they say non comedogenic (that actually means nothing in the beauty world of cosmetic companies). I use Faerie Organic Minerals on myself and my clientele due to the fact they are good for your skin and they are light, airy, feel like your own natural skin, cover amazing (even acne and rosacea) and leave a dewy celebrity glow. I have compared them to many other brands and they come out on top in many areas especially finish, purity, overall apparence. Blush applies flawlessly on top of this foundation as their is no stickiness, tackiness or streaks. This looks like flawless natural skin. You really need to look into it, they have a free sample kit on their site that comes with 2 foundations, sheerveil and bronzer. You can check it out here........http://www.faerieorganic.com
well personally. your better option would be to skip the liquid foundation and use powder.


i use a powder foundation (biscuit) from claires for only 拢2.00!!!


and it gives it an even coat which is really light %26amp; natural.


now i know this sounds weird but..


i use a natural pink lipgloss for my blush. but not too much!


it gives it a sheen because its liquid which reflects natural light therefore enhancing the cheekbone %26amp; makes them appear plumper %26amp; higher. you just rub a little circle of it on the apple and maybe a little directed towards the temples.





The outcome of using a liquid foundation and dry blush = sticky %26amp; lumpy which also makes the blush appear more orange.





good luck x
