i too have sensitive skin. and i hate the feeling of liquid foundation
i personally think i have relatively nice skin =p so i dun use foundation all the time but when i do i use mineral make up~
i've tried bare minerals but i dun like it
i've also tried everyday minerals but it makes my already dry skin even dryer.
im using lumiere's right now. their powder is finely milled and it's very silky~
i used to have some powder and cream foundation from chanel and dior before i came across mineral make up. i think those were alright too~ and i still have a whole tube of traceless (prescriptives). that was the only liquid foundation that i didnt mind to use. it's actually quite nice since it's very sheer. almost like a tinted moisturizer

where can i get mineral make up? i only know i can find Bare Minerals from Sephora...

If you want more coverage from your foundation, choose the cream foundations. They should give you more coverage.

I have tried lots foundations, and yeah, I have GA Luminous silk foundation too.  The result is quite natural and sheer, when you don't apply alot.  I found that it is the best to work with its foundation brush.

I also recommend Guerlain Parure Compact Foundation with Crystal Pearls SPF 20 - PA++ , it is not a liquid foundation, it is a powder foundation. It is so easy to apply and the result is very nice and very natural!

Sometimes, for more coverage, I will use Shiseido Hydro-Liquid Compact. It is a cream foundation and also use Guerlain pressed powder to set it. It is very easy to use and the result is very nice too.

Hope this help.

yep sephora =p but i've actually starting to see bare minerals here in canada too. i think i've seen them in some shoppers~

for the other brands you need to go to their own websites and order them online from them~

AmericanBeauty

L'Oreal had a new product called Bare Naturale gentle mineral makeup, and they claims it has "flawless coverage, skin-improving benefits, and safe for sensitive skin."  It may be worth a try?

but those mineral powders... does it really cover well????
does it give a matt finish or what???

luckily i dun have much flaws to cover up on my face.. so im not sure whether it'll work for other ppl
but it certainly works well for me. it's VERY natural.
i just dust a little all over my face and it evens out my skintones
but im pretty sure the coverage should be good enough for most ppl. it's just like powder foundation.

it depends on wut formula you pick~ if you have dry skin like me you can pick one that has a bit of glow in it. if you have oily skin then they have a formula with a matte finish as well

hai ar...
i don't have much flaws either...
i just use foundation to look a bit more healthier & less tired~

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?
