I had the Bare Esscentuals starter kit but I was so disappointed... it makes my skin very oily after a very short time. (I feel like a teenager again) Gross! The foundation itself when applied on my face gives a very weird glow... I hated it. The color doesn't look right either... maybe I chose the wrong color?

I used Chanel Double Perfection before. It was very good but I left it in a hotel room.

I currenly use GA luminous silk foundation as well. It's ok but recently I've been skipping foundation and use only sunscreen and dust powder on top.

My friends in HK use another type of GA foundation - Hydra Glow - which is not available in Canada. I saw the result which is nothing too special so I am not sure if I should give it a try.

GA has a cream foudation in a big round pot with a brush. I have read good things about it. Anybody tried it?

Yaya it's the Designer Shaping Cream Foundation I was talking about. But maybe when I get older...

I also use GA foundation with the fluid sheer... I use #7. Sometimes I mix a small  bit with the foundation (3:1). But then I have so many highlight stuff already (YSL Touche Eclat, Benefit Highbeam, DIORGLAM highlight powder etc...) I shouldn't have bought the fluid sheer in the first place (so expensive!)

My friend used the GA primer before. She said it's nothing special. She recommanded Smashbox primer to me but it's just silicone. I am using Cle de Peau primer now. I like it because there is no silicone and it has SPF.

Thanks!
how much is the Cle De Peau primer? right now i'm using Raycious super moist base.... & sometimes i use Kiss matte primer with whitening serum in it... my friend help me buy it in hk~

How do you like Raycious super moist base? The name is very attractive! I am always on the quest for a good makeup base.
The Cle de Peau primer is C$85. I don't think I will repurchase because it's too expensive!

Alc, I searched for the ingredients of the photo primer LIGHT and here it goes:  

Water (Aqua), Cyclopentasiloxane, Polysilicone-11, Butylene Glycol, Ethylene/Acrylic Acid Copolymer, Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer, Carbomer, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Triethanolamine, Decyl Glucoside, Caprylyl Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Hexylene Glycol, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Oligopeptide-10.

Well besides water (it claims to be 60% water), the 2 biggest ingredients are silicone stuff.
My friend's sis-in-law is a BA at Smashbox in Hong Kong. Of course she said the primer is very good  and she uses it too. I saw her a few times... gotta admit her face looks flawless!
