what would you recommend for oily skin foundation and that would not make you break out because i used Maybelline Mineral Power Natural Perfecting Powder Foundation and i hate it i though it was going to be good but it wasnt . Where i could find one in a DRUG STORE foundation or powderWhats best make-up foundation for oily skin?
hey there! and omgsh i know how you feel i have oily skin too
and its soooo not fun and doesnt help my makeup routine in the morning
its sooo annoying really there are no products out there to eliminate oil 100% on the face BUT there are products that help decrease the oil and more of it building up. i use covergirls oil control foundation
it works wonders it decreases the oil and shine i think its under 10 dollars and best of all it comes in PLENTY of skin tones
goodluck hope this helped!!!!!!!! (:Whats best make-up foundation for oily skin?
All the neutrogena powders are designed for oily skin (well, most) [:
Buy a oil control by cosmedicine tube. IT stops the oiliness. Then put on make up. Use moisturizer at night.
revlon color stay for combo/oily skin.

The best make up foundation ?
i want it to be full coverage,natural looking and hydrating. Price does not matter.The best make up foundation ?
Laura Mercier Oil Free Foundation ($40)
It offers great coverage plus it leaves your skin looking luminous. Year after year celebrity makeup artists choose this foundation as one of their favorite buys.
Check out the link below for proof : )
http://www.instyle.com/instyle/package/g…The best make up foundation ?
I find that Cover Girls new tru blend foundation works really well. It gives good coverage and stays on even during sports. The only down sde is that it doesn't actually contain any moisturizers, but because it is a liquid foundation, it doesn't dry out your skin. I ue it personally and I think it's fabulous. It even has the tru blend system which matches you with your perfect shade of concealer and blush.
you could get one of those mineral foundations, maybeline has good ones. Or if you want a super foundation you should get the SK-II Air Touch foundation it's supposed to be amzing but its realllllly expensive.
The absolute BEST foundation in the world is Bare Escentuals mineral makeup. It actually makes your skin better the longer you use it.
Revlon its like $24
Or MAC $8 something like that
Dream Matte Mousse, I love it !
i like Milani and MAC

What type of foundation make up do movie stars use? I need a water proof type make up for acne prone skin.?
i use Lovedrops mascara and anuenue ALBA ROSA (also compact powder ) or LANEIGE compact powder when i go to Hawaii, it`s all are water proof,good.good!!!What type of foundation make up do movie stars use? I need a water proof type make up for acne prone skin.?
water proof foundation will make your acne worse, it makes the skin not be able to breath normal foundation is the same but the waterproof is the worse once to use with your kind of skin. Products to use
PHILOSOPHY On a Clear Day face wash
New PHILOSOPHY On a Clear Day h2o2 Peroxide Cream this cream will dry out the spots
Do not use dove, simple,fairy,imperial etc soaps.
use estee lauder stay all day foundation it is light on the skin but stays on all day, use powder like corm silk apply with a large brush %26amp; dust over the faceWhat type of foundation make up do movie stars use? I need a water proof type make up for acne prone skin.?
The norm is a mineral makeup or a something like Lycogel MD.
Lycogel is full coverage breathable makeup used on sets where the actress has acne problems. The problem with this makeup is the colors are limited so they usually have artists custom blending these for them and they are REALLY expensive. The lycogel runs around $50 a bottle at www.lovelyskin.com.
For mineral makeup the most common are Jane Iredale or Youngblood because of their pigment content. For acne skin the Jane Iredale pressed base pressed into skin with a sponge gives full coverage that is breathable. Most minerals are sheered out for more sheer coverage like bare escentials or bare minerals for soft coverage. You won't find those on a set or typically used by people who can afford the best and are photographed a lot.
The Lycogel is the most waterproof of the two.
make up forever is used by many stars.

Is This a foundation? what's the difference between powder make up and foundation?
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41鈥?/a>
I use this to put all over my face, but is it a foundation?
what's the difference between foundation and ';powder make up';?
will you post some links of foundations?
i want to find one instead of this crap..because it always comes offIs This a foundation? what's the difference between powder make up and foundation?
I am a professional makeup artist and know A LOT about this field. First off ';powder'; is far different than ';powder foundation'; aka powder mineral makeup. Face powder is usually a very matte product and does not contain high amounts of pigment(color), zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, the essential ingredients in a foundation that cause coverage and color. They are also loaded with chemicals, binders and fillers that really make it cakey. ';Powders'; are usually a lightly tinted talc or cornstarch that is merely meant to absorb oil, not cover. With this said if you really want a ';powder (mineral) foundation'; that is going to make you look flawless, stay on all day and leave a dewy glow, I highly suggest you try the free sample foundation kit from Faerie Organic Minerals, it is exactly what you are looking for. Their foundation is really amazing, it is light, airy, looks natural, stays all day, covers redness and acne (actually helps breakouts) and leaves a fresh faced glow. You should read the reviews on their site, everyone who tries it loves it and it's good for your skin. You can see it here.........http://www.faerieorganic.comIs This a foundation? what's the difference between powder make up and foundation?
The difference is really just on how it looks on your skin.
If you want a matte look then use a powder foundation.
If you want dewy then it's best to go for a liquid.
Some foundations sit better on different skin types.
You probably won't want to use a powder if your very dry.
A liquid might not work on really oily skin types but a liquid with a mattifying ingrediant is great for controlling the shine and evening out the skin.
that's not foundation...that's powder make up
foundation is usually liquid
I recommend you using estee lauder make up
their make up is great
no thats not a foundation its a powder it even says its a powder, that brand do loads of foundations, try true match
good luck xmy myspace

How to aply proper make up.- foundation bronzer ect.?
i use face of australia foundation and rimel or how ever you spell it bronzer for my foundation i just use my fingers to rub it in, cause i dislike using a make up sponge, and with bronzer i use a big brush, but i dont realy have a great teqnique, is there any tips, and also how to cover things up with concealer., and were to find green concealer.How to aply proper make up.- foundation bronzer ect.?
There are many ways to apply concealer and foundation
but my technique in which i found effective was that i put on concealer before my foundation and then i can touch up after if i need to.
rule of thumb:
reddish blemishes: green concealer
redness on your face can be found around your nose and pimples
bluish under eye circles: Counteract with peach
and salmon to highlight key areas.
BRONZER:
bronzer could be applied all over your face to make it glow or add color if you're really white
it can also be used to contour
contouring really makes your face look longer and narrower which is nice for ppl with wide faces if they dont like it
use a contouring brush my fav is mac168
and lightly brush it on beneath your cheekbones
if u dont know where they are, make the fish face
hope this helps,
email me if u need more help:)How to aply proper make up.- foundation bronzer ect.?
go on youtube and search petrilude and xsparkage (theyre both users and makeup gurus) they both have videos to explain sort of how you would out on make up.
i dont know about the brozer but i know that they have yellow-green concealer at sephora :)

Whats a really good make-up foundation?
Bare MInerals is incredible. I have been wearing foundation for 15 years and not only does this look the most natural, but it improved the look of my skin. It's kind of spendy but it will last a long time.Whats a really good make-up foundation?
Loreal true-match liquid foundation. Super blendable, non oily, and needs no touch up.Whats a really good make-up foundation?
Maybeline New York Dream Matte Mouse. It is a cream foundation, it is almost whipped. It makes your face so soft and it doesn't clog pores. Good Luck!
Cover Girl - because it's very natural-looking, feels light on your skin, and is inexpensive!
maxfactor miracle tough liquid illusion
maybelliene dream matte

Rimmel London
I have found that Almay works best for me!

The 2 best and most natural looking Drugstore Make-up Brands (And neither test on Animals!):
Sally Hansen Natural Beauty

(Remove the space between sally and hansen)
Check out the videos on the website for suggestions.
Physician’s Formula
http://www.physicians formula.com/en-us/default.html
(Remove the space between physicians and formula)
Physician’s Formula Recommendations:
Physician's Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free Mineral Face Powder: ~$13.00 individual, ~$20 in the 3 pack
(Voted “Best Face Powder” in Star Magazine)
Physician's Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free Mineral Blush: ~$12.00 individual, ~$20 in the 3 pack
(Won ';Testers’ Favorite Product Award'; in Fitness Magazine and Awarded “Natural Beauty Award” in Natural Health Magazine)
Physician's Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free Matte Finishing Veil: ~$13.00 individual, ~$20 in 3 the pack
The 3 pack is not on the website, but I know for a fact it is sold at Target. It's probably sold at Walmart, and wherever they carry physician's formula products. The colors I saw that it came in were fair, light, and medium.
I have oily skin, so here’s a tip if you do, too. Just carry around the Talc-Free Matte Finishing Veil in a purse or backpack (for school or work or shopping or whatever) and apply it when you feel oily. It's 100% translucent, so it just eats the oil without looking chalky or heavy.
To me, the mineral powder and blush looked hard, like I'd have to scrape it with my powder brush, but really it comes of quite easily. Take the brush it comes with and just dab it on, it'll come off without any rubbing at all.
I use Sonia Kashuk, They sell it at Target, it is a white case, and you can use it either wet or dry it comes in powder form and you can use it as is, or you can wet your sponge and use it that way as well.... Dry use is for a light coat, and wet usually adds aa little bit more.
Shiseido is my best foundation. A lot of the regular stuff aka Covergirl, Maybeline, etc gives me pimples. Shiseido is by far the cleanest, lightest foundation ever! Comes in a handy pump bottle that gives you just enough you will need for the day!
I use L'Oreal Bare Natural mineral foundation. I love, love, love it. I have never had a make up that worked so well for me. I also used to get pimples a lot but since I started using it, I only get them once in a blue moon!
:)
Elizabeth Arden, compact. I have one and it's great. The vanilla colour. It goes on like velvet.

Clinique, they are non acnegenic and are designed for all skin types.
for powder i use bare minerals, it makes your skin look very natural and doesn't make me break out.
for liquid i use covergirl aquasmooth - it goes on really even
maybeline dream matte mousse is great, but on people with dry skin its bad.
maxfactor or l'oreal mineral powders are pretty good as well.

Dont get the really cheap stuff cuz that usually doesnt work. Almay is pretty okay. Neutragena too.Girls - who makes a really good foundation (make-up). My skin tone is uneven and patchy?
Try mineral makeup. It does wonders for uneven skin tones. Its also very light feeling. I love it. Check out this site, you can get it there..
http://www.youravon/christinahernandezGirls - who makes a really good foundation (make-up). My skin tone is uneven and patchy?
trublend by cover girl works really well. also...neutrogena, max factor and loreal.
you're not gonna find a good foundation at a drug store, go to sephora-they'll have everything you need
For a drugstore brand, L'Oreal True Match is very good.
For department store brands, I like Prescriptives.
I really like Neutragena. They have great options for unbalanced skin tones and are sensitive on acne prone/dry skin. Good luck!
okay if you use tooo much makeup that wont help at all try a cleanser and CLEAN that facee
MAC
.
CoverGirl
The best drugstore brand? Physicians Formula is great, because it comes in many varieties of foundation (powder, liquid, etc.), and, not as importantly, comes in great packaging.
It is also of a much higher quality than nuetrogena etc., which might as well just be paint. Physicians Formula has vitamins and minerals in it that enrich the skin, not strip away from it, so it would help cure the patchiness on your face, not just cover it up.
Good luck!
I would recommend trublend. this foundation blends your natural skin tone, and evens it out into one tone. i have the same problem and this seems to fit your needs.
i recommend dream matte mousse. It's brilliant because it lasts all day and blends in really well with your skin tones.my myspace

If your looking for super affordable then try somewhere like target. Sometimes when places like macy's and other department stores have makeup sales and promos you can get good deals like gifts with purchases. Also maybe try Avon or Mary Kay. Maybe they can give you a discount for being a makeup artist and recommending their products.

Whats the best make up foundation for oily skin?
Any powder kind. Liquid is not goo dbecause it comes of easily and has crap in it. Use Bare Minerals or get a powdered foundation. They appear less oily. Just don't put too much bcause then it looks totally fake.

Powder foundation...I think it's Maybeline (if thats how u spell it lol), but you could also go to ProActiv.com, they have makeup available, and I don't think they'll give you foundation that will give you acne (because oily skin means acne...trust me, I've got it bad and I'm only 12, and ive had it since I was 8)
anything that is oil-free is a start....i would suggest a powder-to-liquid kind
I like Revlon Colorstay with Soft-Flex, and I use a bit of mineral powder by Physician's Formula over it.
I have been using Clinque powder over ten years and it works great. They also have good foundations. Also Loreal infallible.
Neutrogena foundations are the best for my oily skin.
I agree with absolutbianca, MAC is by far the best. I LOVE IT!! At least when I can afford it. Its an absolute forture in the UK!!
Hope I helped.Whats the best make up foundation for oily skin?

May I ask a question about foundation make-up of the 50+ ladies?
Do you believe the foundation make-up that is supposed to lift sagging features is effective? They recommend applying it with a brush in upward stokes. Lancome has a version of this type of make-up.May I ask a question about foundation make-up of the 50+ ladies?
I honestly believe there isn't any product out there that can defy gravity better than a smile.May I ask a question about foundation make-up of the 50+ ladies?
First I want to point out if you don't need don't use it. If you do then here's my theory on it. Try using a cucumber slice on each eye to rehydrate the sockets that cause bags also try bengay on the bags to get rid of them. get more sleep and take some time for your self. That is my remedy for baggy eyes. The rest is a way to get you to spend unnecessary money.
Save your money...that stuff couldn't possibly work.
I'm not over 50 but I know of a great product that I think you would really like if callen TimeWise Day and Night Solution if you would like to try it just email me and tell me where to send it, It's from Mary Kay you can get more infor about it at www.marykay.com/kfrench2006 also let me know if you'd like to try other product these are free samples just so you can make an informed decision on products you like

revlon colorstay has great coverage, a rang of colors, and awesome staying power. I definatly recommend it!Whats a make up foundation that will cover a tattoo?
It works well, but it's not a drugstore brand. It also comes in waterproof from. *drumroll* DERMABLEND! It's sold in Ulta. Their body makeup is heavy coverage, but looks natural. Their face makeup is lighter but also covers well. They also have regular foundations and concealers. Check it out: http://search.ulta.com/nav/brand/Dermabl鈥?/a>
sephora carries a concealer that is specifically meant to cover tattoos. it's by kat von d. and im sure its a little pricey, but it works wonders!

What is the best foundation make up that last all day to cover up freckles and acne scarring?
Mary Kay has some great stuff.
You need to find a Mary Kay dealer. It also can be found on ebay.
Good, good stuff, and lasts all day.
MWhat is the best foundation make up that last all day to cover up freckles and acne scarring?
Honestly, foundation is the worst care for your face. You need to buy daily face lotion that evens out your skin tone and they also have cream for acne scars. But do not wear foundation. It clogs all your pores and causes acne. If anything use powder. If you can't live without foundation, try bare mineals. They advertise it on television. I beleive it is an over the phone order.What is the best foundation make up that last all day to cover up freckles and acne scarring?
I love mineral based make-up. I get the most compliments when I wear it and it makes my skin look more flawless that any other type of foundation and powder.
Here is the site of the make up I use:
http://www.baremakeup.com/
But it isn't a liquid foundation. It is just a powder that acts as both. I was skeptical that it would be just like powder and not really stick or cover very good but boy was I wrong! It's awesome. Plus you can just buy one of their concealer sticks and use one of their concealer brushes to apply it then put on their mineral powder foundation. I would suggest buying the ';try me kit'; and then buy the concealer and a concealer brush separately since the try me kit doesn't contain them. It's a little pricey but totally worth it! Good luck!!
BARE MINERALS-you would not believe this stuff!!! Best stuff out there!
yup, I use the Mary Kay for oily/combo skin- I love it and it lasts all day without feeling heavy
I got the starter kit for BareMinerals for Christmas, and I have not been more pleased with make-up. It makes it look like you've got naturally perfect, glowy skin. It's all natural, so it won't clog your pores or anything, and it lasts all day.
If you don't get a kit with the concealer brush, make SURE to buy it though, because it's the key to covering up scars and blemishes.
I have a reccomendation for the scarring: MD Forte glycolic acid face wash, and one of the glycolic lotions as well. They will help smooth your skin out alot, and a bottle will last at least 6 months as you only need a little morning and night. You can buy these or similar products on many websites such as skinstore.com I suggest the MD forte line because I have tried several and theirs are good concentrations of glycolic acid and ph balanced enough to work but not be overly irritating.
Mary kay is a great product but you might want to try Bare Minerals. Its all natural and wont clog pores.
bare minerals or stuff close to it but not cheap. i tried that true blend and it clogs my pores.
DERMABLEND IT IS IN THE MAJOR DEPARTMENT STORES MACYS ROBINSONS MAY BLOOMINGDALES MCRAES
I love TruBlend by Covergirl!!! It's in a little circle jar, I've used everything, and it's not cakey or greasy, at first it feels like liquid and than once it is on it feels like powder
CoverGirl TruBlend!!!!!! either whipped or regular. love the stuff!!you can get it at any drugstore. if it doesn't work at least you have great foundation!
i love VICHY company but unfortunately i can;t find it in stores

Your skin probably gets like that because of the foundation. If it's caked on then it wont look nice and when it melts it might be making your skin look oily.
DONT USE LIQUID FOUNDATION USE POWDERED ONE OBVIOUSLY WITH MATTE FINISH N DONT APPLY GLOSS AT UR LIPZ AAPPLY A MATTE FINISH LIPSTICK COZ GLOSS WUD MAKE UR FACE APPEAR MORE OILY
maybelline dream matte mousse should do the trick!
it's matte finish looks natural and theres no-shine at all! Plus it lasts all day so theres so need to worry about re-applying. Hope this helps!
I am a makeup artist and I think you should go with:
It's all about personal preference and pocket book.
watch for things with TALC in it, it can break some people out. Especially people with sensitive skin. But it dont hurt trying if you dont know.
Clinique, Clinique, Clinique!
All of there products are hypo-allergenic
allergy tested and
100% frangrance free and was
created by dermatologists.
Their eye shadows last 8-12 hours, and I have alot of clients have oily skin and they been telling more people about it, it really does work. Its also light, to make you look natural!
There entire facial cleansing system is great! And truly, their acne spot treatment works wonders.....
It's all a little bit expensive.
';you get what you pay for in life, plus it's your skin, no need to skimp';
Wash your face with a soap made for oily skin next use a powder that will soak up the oils.
Start with a skin care regimen for oily skin. Wash, toner or astringent, and moisturize. If you don't moisturize your skin it will produce more oil to compensate for the lack of moisture. Make sure you get one that is oil-free.
Use an oil free foundation, liquid is fine, and set it with loose powder. This will give your makeup more staying power.
For in-between touch-ups use blotting papers to blot up excess oil, then lightly powder again---you can use pressed powder for this. Another option is primer, which is carried by some of the higher-end makeup lines. I've heard that MAC makes a good one.
You may also want to get some sort of clay mask and use it a couple of times a week. These are great for pulling out junk and excess oil from pores. Last but not least, do not SCRUB your face. It only irritates it and makes it go crazy with oil and acne. Treat your skin like something fragile and precious, it's not made to take 80-grit sandpaper.
Get the bare minerals Mineral Veil. Put it on under and over your foundation in the morning and then if you need to re-apply during lunch time. That is what I do and I am good to go all day! It has been a miracle for me since my skin is disgustingly oily...
i use to have oily skin to and alot of pimples
1.) get proactiv,
i started using it and my face is starting to clear up.
2.) if u wanna wear makeup don't use foundations that makes it even more oily.
3.) only wear eyeshadow, mascara, and eyeliner
these are the things i did and it worked i hae no zits or oily skin.
gl
try an oil free cleanser and toner. also carry oil absorbers sheets. i use clean and clear and they work fine. try that before switching foundations, also use powder too
Oily skin is hard to handle because it might not be all over just in certain areas of the face like your t zone. i would recommend proactiv or clinque. i have useed both of these when my face was oily and they both work great. and for the make up try bare minerals, or any make up line that as a powder mineral substance. i use bare minerals because it will stay all day and you don't have to touch it up. and if you get shinny they have this great stuff called mineral veil and it takes 5 seconds to apply. i can do my whole face in about 3 mins. in the morning and that is a wonderful time saver.
every night wash your face with a mixture of baking soda and water. about 2 parts baking soda, 1 parts water. this will help your oily skin and prevent acne. try a loose powder for your foundation. NEVER DO LIQUID FOUNDATION! hope this helps!
First of all, don't use a moisturizer! I know that they say that you should wear a moisturizer no matter what your skin type, but this is simply not true. The oil that your skin glands are releasing is your skin's natural way of moisturizing itself. So why would you want to add extra fake moisturizer? It just doesn't make sense. So skip the moisturizer completely. Just make sure you don't overwash your face, as this can dry it out and throw your skin off balance, causing your skin glands to produce MORE oil than usual. (But if you have combination skin, use moisturizer only in the dry areas).
Also, make sure the facewash you are using is formulated for oily skin, because the facewashes that are for dry to normal skin have extra emollients and moisturizers in them, which you don't need.
Now with your makeup, I suggest you switch from a liquid makeup to a powder makeup. I like Bare Minerals because it has no extra stuff that I don't need-- just coverage. Liquid makeups tend to have all sorts of bad ingredients in them that can block your pores (even if the product says noncomedogenic on it) and irritate your skin. They also tend to have moisturizing ingredients, which you don't want as they will encourage your skin to get oilier faster.
I like to carry oil-blotting sheets with me during the day when my T zone can get a little oily. They work wonders because they don't take off your makeup, just the oil.
You can also carry some powder with you to dust on your face when it gets oily. The powder will suck up the excess oil and make your face drier.
Good luck!!

How can i tell if i'm wearing too much foundation/face make up?
To me, it doesn't look like it at all but you never know! I have a friend who layers it on and it's so obvious but she wears it like that all the time, i don't want to become like her where i dont even notice!
How can i tell so other people can't?How can i tell if i'm wearing too much foundation/face make up?
If you put on to much foundation it will look blotchy.How can i tell if i'm wearing too much foundation/face make up?
You can usually tell if you're in the sun, try looking in a mirror then and it is very easy to tell. If your foundation is too thick, then it'll appear blotchy and uneven. It won't sit properly.

How can i tell so other people can't?How can i tell if i'm wearing too much foundation/face make up?
If you put on to much foundation it will look blotchy.How can i tell if i'm wearing too much foundation/face make up?
You can usually tell if you're in the sun, try looking in a mirror then and it is very easy to tell. If your foundation is too thick, then it'll appear blotchy and uneven. It won't sit properly. It might also be a completely different colour to your skin, like making it look orange or like white face paint.

I want to try a new make-up foundation, any recommendations? I really want something that looks natural?
Tinted moisturizer its much lighter than foundation and looks natural! try physicians formula or cover girl smoothers!I want to try a new make-up foundation, any recommendations? I really want something that looks natural?
Rimmel Recover foundation looks really natural, it isn't heavy coverage but it evens out your skin tone and makes it look more radiant because of the light reflecting particles.
Revlon beyond natural skin matching make up is also supposed to be very good. im going to buy Revlon colourstay foundation, iv heard good things about that one aswell.I want to try a new make-up foundation, any recommendations? I really want something that looks natural?
I definitely would recommend looking here for drugstore brand foundations http://www.audreydao.com/category/drug-s鈥?/a> and here for higher end brand foundations http://www.audreydao.com/category/high-e鈥?/a>
Whenever I want to choose any new make-up, I always check out Audrey's reviews because she gives lots of info about the product and her own personal review from her experience using it. Usually if Audrey gives it a positive, you know it will be a good buy. I've followed her advice and suggestions before, and it definitely always works out. By the way, if you want to try out a product that isn't reviewed yet, you can leave a comment on her ';Contact Me'; page and she will review that product for you!
Hope this helps.

Whats the differencebetween make up and foundation?
whats the difference between the stuff labled make up and the stuff labled foundation? do they do differnent things? o and concealer what the differnce between the three?Whats the differencebetween make up and foundation?
Concealer hides spots and blemishes .. foundation evens out your skin tone and make up is more general and can mean anything from mascara to lip gloss :) xxWhats the differencebetween make up and foundation?
The term make-up refers to any product applied to the face to enhance your appearance so it means basically everything. Foundation and make-up are sometimes used interchangeably. Foundation comes in many forms - liquid, powder, mineral powder - and is used to even out your skin tone. Concealer is used in addition to foundation. It's name suggests exactly what it's used for - to conceal things such as dark under-eye circles, blemishes, or other small marks on the face. Just remember that a little goes along way. Use your concealer first and then apply your foundation to the rest of your face. Just remember to blend, especially around your eyes and underneath your chin.
Makeup is any color you put on your face .Everything except lashes and tools.There are different types of makeup [cosmetics] makeup for the canvas/face is called Foundation.
However concealer and foundation is two different things . A concealer is to conceal/hide [ a thicker coverage to hide flaws] and a foundation is to even out the skin tone on the entire face.
There 4 types of foundation - liquid , powder and cream.minerals.
1.liquid is not oil free , great for people with dry skin .Medium coverage.
2.powder is a light finish , great for people with oily skin and less blemishes/brown spots/age spots .also to set a concealer .Flawless finish.light- medium coverage
3.a cream is a thicker consistency [a mix of powery finish and liquidy finish],all depends on preference .gives a matte finish.heavy coverage.
4.Minerals- pure minerals[looks like pwdr] light to medium coverage.Gives a more flawless finish.
There are stick concealers and cream foundations-same thing just a matter of preference.
make-up is make up that can be anything foundation, mascara, eyeliner anything.
Foundation is a liquid that goes on your face
Concealer can go over your foundation or under and most women put it under there eyes or on a blemish it helps to conceal your spots hence the name ';concealer';
The best thing to do is use foundation then buy a powder to put over it. Then there is blush you put on your cheaks if you have a good complexion and still want to use something then use the best thing is just use some powder
Maybelline powder is great
Foundation provides a base for your other makeup. It goes over your entire face. It evens out your skin tone and provides a clean slate for your face.
Concealer is used to cover-up any blemishes, under-eye circles, etc on your face. You apply this after foundation.
Make-up is like eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow, blush etc.
Foundation IS makeup. When it has a label ';make-up'; then it's just basic foundation. Concealer is made do hide redness on the face (pimples, zits, rosacea). Concealer is also used for under eye circles. The problem with using yellow-based concealer on undereyes is that it doesn't help much. For under eye circles you use salmon toned concealer. Remember to use concealer BEFORE foundation. Hope this helps.

What Make-up Foundation should I choose?
There are so many and I have never been very good at applying my make-up. I want to start looking more my age, I'm 21 and don't want to look like a child anymore. Help. I'm stuck on foundation already, there is liquid, powder, mousse, full coverage, light coverage, medium coverage, how do I choose? I have some blemishes occasionally, a little bit of dark circles cause I have a baby girl and she keeps me up, does that have to be taken into effect? Help me please?! I need a make over!What Make-up Foundation should I choose?
Much depends on your age and what level of coverage you're looking for. You have the lighter coverage for skin that's healthy and then you have the heavier stuff in either paste or liquid, that evens out blotchy or hyper-pigmented skin. Revlon, L'Oreal and Neutrogena are some of the best. I am 51 and have great skin but full of sun spots so I use the Revlon One-step compact which uses a puff pad but is moist so it's a foundation and powder in one and it's full coverage but not pasty or thick.What Make-up Foundation should I choose?
If you want a lighter coverage (which i'd reccomend with skin like yours), powder is best such as a mineral foundation which doesn't block your pores. As for your dark circles, just buy a good concealer to cover them and your occasional blemishes. But if you want to look your age, i'd say use a full/medium coverage for special occasions so you look different and older, hope this helped! :)
For foundation i'd recommend 'Mineral' foundation,
like Rimmel London 16hr Mineral Foundation'
It feels really nice on your skin %26amp; lasts for ages!
For Color, use a tester and rub on your skin, the one that matchs your NATURAL skin tone is the one that should suit you best. If you want to go darker use bronzer!
For the dark circles, use a little bit more foundation under your eyes!
Hope I Helped!

What's the best foundation (make up) brand?
Try Marks Makeup, They Have Other Neat Choices Too.
If Store Brands Is What You Look For, Then Go For The Original Covergirl Foundations, They Are Nice.
Loreal Too Has Good Shades.
(Whips/Mousse Are Not Very Good For The Skin They Are Much Too Thick)What's the best foundation (make up) brand?
loreal- true match.
by far best foundation ive ever used .What's the best foundation (make up) brand?
i like loreal trueblend
Honestly after trying to find it myself I finally did and its made by a company called bee luscious cosmetics. Its wonderful the first brand of cosmetics that has delivered what it promised. The foundation to the powders and much more all very highly recommendable. http://www.beeluscious.com
The Liquid Minerals from Bee Luscious is you like light and natural looking makeup. If you are more into heavy makeup and need FULL coverage then I would go with something like MAC.
cover girl make up i find is the best it blends in with your skin try it it really works
PRESCRIPTIVES IS THE BEST EVEERR!!! seriously...they can custom blend ur foundation so it matches ur skintone perfectly...they can also make it as thick or sheer, moisturizing or oil controling as u want! just ask them to explain wut they r doind and u can tell them if thats wut u want...they blend it right before ur eyes...
I like Maybelline, it has thicker coverage and natural looking colors. I like Dream Matte Mousse, it has a cool gooey texture but feels lightweight on.
I find L'oreal foundations to be very, very orangey.
well it depends what kind of skin you have...and the amount of coverage you want . i personally love laura mercier tinted moisturizer and to touch up for those oily spots... lorac pressed power. you can apply all day and wow it doesnt cake up on you!!!
Definetly AVON. I have their foundation, and it works, like magic! I use it every day before I go anywhere.
Truthfully, I used alot of different foundations the best i found so far is Stila Foundation which you can buy at Sephora. This foundation is really very good its light it covers up really well. And the best thing of all it doesnt cake up.
I really like MAC. It looks great, they always match your color perfectly and if you have skin problems then it works wells too. It might be a little pricy but you won't run out quickly :)
There really isn't one best foundation, it all depends on the skin type, personal preference and budget. What I mean by budget is that some ppl who don't want to spend a lot and wont have a chance to try the higher end brands, same goes with the consumers that refuses to buy it at department stores and may miss a really good foundation there.
For me i like many but here are my faves:
MAC face and body
Make-up forever Face and Body
Kett
m.a.c all the way.
dont try department store makeup
it doesnt work
may cost you a little more but it lasts long and its perfect. =]
Smashbox or MAC.

I have been wearing foundation make-up since highschool and now that im 21 my skin is terrible wat can i do?

use a good moisturizer on your face every morning after washing it. then, use a good concealer and use it sparingly on the worst blemishes. wash your face at night before going to bed and use a repairing night time lotion. after awhile, your blemishes should start to look betterI have been wearing foundation make-up since highschool and now that im 21 my skin is terrible wat can i do?
Go to a walgreens cvs or any drug store like that has really good stuff that can clear up your skin.

What foundation make up is good?
i have tried many different kinds of foundation and have yet to find the perfect one for me. what's the difference between liquid and powder foundation?and what products have a good coverage for pimples etc...yet looking all natural?What foundation make up is good?
For Me MAC, they have many differnt shades to choose from. I would use both liquid and powder. If you just use powder your face will end up looking very choppy. Also make sure to use lotion before applying the makeup.What foundation make up is good?
I use mary kay. I get the right face system for me in my climate (which is really hot %26amp; humid in the summer, cold n humid in the winter). So I get formula 3 for oily prone skin and I use the full system. I buy it on ebay for a 3rd of the price after I look at their online catalog and pick out what I like.
after you use the face cleansing stuff (DONT FORGET MOISTURIZER, it's the most important step) then I put on the foundation. It goes on perfectly after using their cleaning products and it feels like I'm not wearing anything. I usually get liquid foundation (because it's oil free unlike matte finishes or cream to powder), and I set it with translucent (invisible) powder. It doesn't break me out and just evens out my skin tone without making me look cakey.
I have tried other things, but store bought stuff always turns orange, and mineral make-up wipes off on anyone I hug.
If you're interested in trying mary kay for free you can just call their number and they will send someone to give you a free make-over. You don't have to buy anything from them (remember ebay is cheaper), but sometimes they can be a bit pushy so you have to be sure to inform them that you just want to TRY it first.
It depends on your skin type. Is your skin oily or dry? The younger you are, the less coverage you usually need. A good one is Revlon Colorstay Active wear which comes in a tube and stays on well but looks natural. Read the labels. If your skin is oily, you might want to find something that is oil free.....makes sense, doesn't it? There is no ';perfect'; product but there are lots of good ones and proper application is important. Go to a counter in a department store for some free advice if it will help.
Well, I use L'oreal products- and I don't have pimples anymore (I'm 45) If you have acne, powder foundation would not be a good idea. It will crack around the pimple, making it more obvious. You need to find a good concealer. I have dry skin, so I use a liquid foundation. I trust L'oreal. ( Lancome owns them) Maybe go to a Nordstroms or a Neiman Marcus, and have someone try different foundations on you? Good luck.
Laura Geller Balance n Brighten is fantastic, it is powder but covers up like a cream!!! You can get different skin colours so you can find the perfect match to your skin, you can put more on until you get the coverage you want yet it looks totally natural! It even lasts the whole day without wearing off, you can order it online from QVC and there are loads more fantastic products on that website too!!
depends on your skin type, but I really like Clinique liquid.
MAC
Lancome, also works good for me
I switch up...
Motives custom blend foundation. It can be custom blended to your exact skin color, but you have to find a Motives consultant near you that can do it for you. Or you can get thier fluid silk foundation, which is premade. None of thier products even feel like your wearing make up. It has some of the highest quality ingredients.
Check out www.marketamerica.com/beautyperfection to check it out.
If you want to go to the deparment store Mac and Chanel are one of the best too. Whatever you choose, do NOT go with anything from the drugstore. The highend cosmetics may be pricier, but you pay for what you get and the difference is worth it.
Honestly, not every foundation works for every person, as you have found out. If they did, then we wouldn't have so many brands out there.
Liquid foundation is just that a liquid. It goes on wet and dries.
Powder foundations go on dry, and stay that way. Some of them though, you wet the makeup sponge, swipe it in the powder, then put it on. I personally find that many of these have good coverage. As an added bonus, many like this can also be used dry as a powder. So you only need to carry one thing with you.
If you have acne prone skin, look for one that is water based. Or try a mineral type. These are pretty good for your skin. good ones can be pricey though.
Hi.personally i prefer just pressed powder with just abit of coverage coz i have blemishes.
Double ware- Estee Lauder is the best!Its a bit exy$ 66.00aus. It is smudge proof, heat resistant - even in humidity and has a medium to full coverage but looks natural, as long as u prime your skin of course. Use concealer on the pimples-then foundation- then powder if needed so its the same colour and not lighter then the rest of your face. I reccomend Ultimate coverage concealer by Artistry its the best i have ever tried- and i have tried alot.
I personally luv MAC and Bobby brown
I have never used liquid but I have heard that it is easier to coat
prescriptives mixes foundation until it is your own personal color. the only thing is that you have to buy all of whichever colors make up your perfect skin tone. it looks really really really really good though.
MAC is more of a stage makeup (photography, etc.)
If money isnt a factor, ide splurge for NARS. You can get this online or sometimes at Nordstroms.
If no NARS, I would jump on over to Bobby Brown.
Liquid = Apply with a foundation brush or a pad(only use these once) and this sets deeper onto the skin when used with a brush or makeup pad.
Powder = Use a powder brush. This sits ontop of the skin not really penetrating and getting deep into the pores. Ideal for oily skin.
cover girl and MAC matte
For Me MAC, they have many differnt shades to choose from. I would use both liquid and powder. If you just use powder your face will end up looking very choppy. Also make sure to use lotion before applying the makeup.What foundation make up is good?

It goes on perfectly after using their cleaning products and it feels like I'm not wearing anything. I usually get liquid foundation (because it's oil free unlike matte finishes or cream to powder), and I set it with translucent (invisible) powder. It doesn't break me out and just evens out my skin tone without making me look cakey.
I have tried other things, but store bought stuff always turns orange, and mineral make-up wipes off on anyone I hug.
If you're interested in trying mary kay for free you can just call their number and they will send someone to give you a free make-over. You don't have to buy anything from them (remember ebay is cheaper), but sometimes they can be a bit pushy so you have to be sure to inform them that you just want to TRY it first.
It depends on your skin type. Is your skin oily or dry? The younger you are, the less coverage you usually need. A good one is Revlon Colorstay Active wear which comes in a tube and stays on well but looks natural. Read the labels. If your skin is oily, you might want to find something that is oil free.....makes sense, doesn't it? There is no ';perfect'; product but there are lots of good ones and proper application is important. Go to a counter in a department store for some free advice if it will help.
Well, I use L'oreal products- and I don't have pimples anymore (I'm 45) If you have acne, powder foundation would not be a good idea. It will crack around the pimple, making it more obvious. You need to find a good concealer. I have dry skin, so I use a liquid foundation. I trust L'oreal. ( Lancome owns them) Maybe go to a Nordstroms or a Neiman Marcus, and have someone try different foundations on you? Good luck.
Laura Geller Balance n Brighten is fantastic, it is powder but covers up like a cream!!! You can get different skin colours so you can find the perfect match to your skin, you can put more on until you get the coverage you want yet it looks totally natural! It even lasts the whole day without wearing off, you can order it online from QVC and there are loads more fantastic products on that website too!!
depends on your skin type, but I really like Clinique liquid.
MAC
Lancome, also works good for me
I switch up...
Motives custom blend foundation. It can be custom blended to your exact skin color, but you have to find a Motives consultant near you that can do it for you. Or you can get thier fluid silk foundation, which is premade. None of thier products even feel like your wearing make up. It has some of the highest quality ingredients.
Check out www.marketamerica.com/beautyperfection to check it out.
If you want to go to the deparment store Mac and Chanel are one of the best too. Whatever you choose, do NOT go with anything from the drugstore. The highend cosmetics may be pricier, but you pay for what you get and the difference is worth it.
Honestly, not every foundation works for every person, as you have found out. If they did, then we wouldn't have so many brands out there.
Liquid foundation is just that a liquid. It goes on wet and dries.
Powder foundations go on dry, and stay that way. Some of them though, you wet the makeup sponge, swipe it in the powder, then put it on. I personally find that many of these have good coverage. As an added bonus, many like this can also be used dry as a powder. So you only need to carry one thing with you.
If you have acne prone skin, look for one that is water based. Or try a mineral type. These are pretty good for your skin. good ones can be pricey though.
Hi.personally i prefer just pressed powder with just abit of coverage coz i have blemishes.
Double ware- Estee Lauder is the best!Its a bit exy$ 66.00aus. It is smudge proof, heat resistant - even in humidity and has a medium to full coverage but looks natural, as long as u prime your skin of course. Use concealer on the pimples-then foundation- then powder if needed so its the same colour and not lighter then the rest of your face. I reccomend Ultimate coverage concealer by Artistry its the best i have ever tried- and i have tried alot.
I personally luv MAC and Bobby brown
I have never used liquid but I have heard that it is easier to coat
prescriptives mixes foundation until it is your own personal color. the only thing is that you have to buy all of whichever colors make up your perfect skin tone. it looks really really really really good though.
MAC is more of a stage makeup (photography, etc.)
If money isnt a factor, ide splurge for NARS. You can get this online or sometimes at Nordstroms.
If no NARS, I would jump on over to Bobby Brown.
Liquid = Apply with a foundation brush or a pad(only use these once) and this sets deeper onto the skin when used with a brush or makeup pad.
Powder = Use a powder brush. This sits ontop of the skin not really penetrating and getting deep into the pores. Ideal for oily skin.

What is a good make up foundation for your, i have lots of red on my face, so i need good coverage.?
everything i try, either doesn't cover, or is to heavy, or gives me horrible acne. ah, help!What is a good make up foundation for your, i have lots of red on my face, so i need good coverage.?
You can use any foundation just buy a green concealer. the color green calcels red out. Make sure you blend well!!What is a good make up foundation for your, i have lots of red on my face, so i need good coverage.?
You should first make sure that the red is not rosacea, if you have rosacea, then putting makeup over it will most likely make it more red and permanently worse. I use Eucerin Redness Relief - Daily Perfecting Lotion. I just use a drop of it for each half of my face, if you use too much of it then it looks really bad, but just a little bit helps cover up redness and its safe for rosacea skin, so if you do have rosacea, I recommend that. If you don't, then go with what the other people say, because its not so good for people without rosacea.
Loreal mineral foundation.
You can get it at any grocery store. It's got a brush on the top and is light enough to feel like nothing, heavy enough to even out coloring and mineral so it will reduce acne.

Do you letting your boyfriend to kiss or touch your face with foundation or make up?
I am wondering to the truth of girls make up and the possibilities of the guy will spoilt the great complexion of foundation after kissing, touching when have fun outing.Do you letting your boyfriend to kiss or touch your face with foundation or make up?
When I first met my fiance, I was so conscious of the fact that I didn't want my make up ruined because I thought I looked really ugly unless my make-up was perfect. I avoided cuddles unless my face wasn't covered by him at all and avoided kissing too. He started thinking that my problem was with him! If he did kiss me I would go to the bathroom right away to correct my make-up. One day I was sitting at a desk when we came along and came me a hug (so my head was level with his tummy) and when afterwards I was mortified - there was a faint mask like shape on his shirt! He didn't notice but I was so embarrassed!
I guessed my insecurities changed over time. I remember one day he came in and I had very little make-up on and he couldn't believe how naturally pretty I was. The more he told me how gorgeous I was I guess I started to believe it a little and started to wear make-up to accentuate my features instead of hiding them. Now, if we play-fight or kiss or whatever, I never even think of my make-up but admittedly do touch it up eventually , but only when I can be bothered! I have so many compliments about how I look now, so I guess less is more. And I guess love does change everything too! x x xDo you letting your boyfriend to kiss or touch your face with foundation or make up?
once i was wearing really glossy lip gloss and my ex and i kissed kissed and he got it all over his lips and he was sparkly all day! lol but i dont mind it but the only makeup i wear is lipgloss and sometimes bronzer on cheek bones but i never really used to wear any when we were going out so i dont think i would mind if i had one now as long as he doesnt mind..
I've never had a problem with that. I mean, worst case scenario, I'll just have to excuse myself to the bathroom to powder myself up again.
if he does not care, i don't care.
well, i don't wear a lot of make up myself.
But both of us do NOT like lipstick when kissing
My boyfriend has seen me with out makeup. It doesn't bug me at all. It's just makeup. I end up washing it off a few hours later anyway.
I wear Colorstay foundation... which holds up to a lot. So I have no problem with it whatsoever.
Yes!
what? no!
with all the time and effort I put into it?
well then again it's my husband....*thinks*...that's another story though
OOOOOOOKKK I'm gonna go now :)

How can you get foundation make up out of clothes?
Rub neat washing up liquid on the foundation, it should start lifting. Then run it through the washing machine, it might take a few goes of washing up liquid and washing but I've always managed to get all traces out. I once spilt a brand new bottle of liquid foundation on a white bed spread...I really thought it was never going to come up, it took about 6 washes but at least I didn't have to throw it away
Use fairy washing up liquid, the others just aren't quite up to it. Fine for dishes but not lifting grease stainsHow can you get foundation make up out of clothes?
you can't. or at least my makeup you can't. i spilt my foundation all over my sweatshit and i tried washing it and everything and it didn't come out. i had to end up just throwing it away. it sucks i know. sorry.
but you can always try washing it with sray and wash on it or something it might work better than mine did.How can you get foundation make up out of clothes?
you carnt. my mum had to throw her top away when i got my foundation over it.
wash them
dont know but u look sexc !

How many of you do not blow dry or flat iron your hair and how many of you wear make-up without foundation?
me and me lol. I only blow dry or iron my hair occasionally. I just let it dry by its self in a pony tail, anyone else does that too? and I only wear an eyelines and mascara...no foundation.How many of you do not blow dry or flat iron your hair and how many of you wear make-up without foundation?
I have naturally curly hair and I love the way it looks. I also have very nice limited edition red chi iron I only use it once in ahwhile. Them things are harsh on ppl who have really thick hair. So I Let it dry naturally most off the time. As 4 makeup I only wear Pyhsicians Formula Mineral wear Bronzing Veil its great if ur skin is prone to breaking out. Its very light but it also gives u naturally healthy glow. Oh and I also use little eyeliner, mascara, and lip gloss.How many of you do not blow dry or flat iron your hair and how many of you wear make-up without foundation?
When my mom stopped blow drying my hair when I was little, thats when I stopped! Dont got to flat iron... I already got straight hair, but I do like to put waves in my hair occasionally... I cant wear makeup at work, but when I get the chance to on my days off, I only wear mascara, lipgloss, and sometimes I color my eyebrows because they are so thin and light.
I blow dry my hair only when my hair becomes thin after I have washed too much hair dye out of it.
My hair is completely straight, so I have no need to staright iron.
I've only recently discovered makeup, and only recently desired to wear it, so I'm not even that good, or know much about it. Eyeshadow, Eyeliner, mascara, and sometimes lip stuff, but that's it. Anyway, affordable foundation that is easy for me to come by (ie. actually in stores...don't have to order them) are too dark for me, I have terribly pale skin.

I only iron my hair occasionally. Because i have curly hair so i just put moose in it, and leave it be. Mascara is the ony thing i wear.
lately I have been letting my hair dry naturally and I only wear eyeliner and mascara.
i havent blowed dried my hair in such a LONG time.
I am a lucky person because I went through my *acne* phase already, so now I dont have to worry about wearing foundation. Just eye liner and mascara
I only wear eye make up, never foundation. My complexion is pretty okay, and I just let my hair dry naturally, I colour it alot so I don't need to damage it any further by blow drying it! Every now and then I'll use the straighteners if I'm off out somewhere special though!
yeah me i let it air dry, put in ponytail or style with spray wax and laminating spray. and just wear eyeliner and lipgloss. mascara when going 'out'. and never foundation. a cover up for pimples rarely. people say i have natural beauty but do where lil makeup...lol thats when they say i have natural beauty! but most guys like lil make up...unless they the ones that like that tramps! lol
I don't blowdry or iron because it makes my hair frizzy and dry and generally awful. I have recently stopped wearing foundation and only use a light coating of powder to even out my complexion. My favorite look is a touch of eyeliner with chapstick... it's enough to make me look more awake, but doesn't scream that i took 2 hrs to get ready.

What is the best make up foundation and also what should i do i have blonde hair but brown eyebrows?
????????What is the best make up foundation and also what should i do i have blonde hair but brown eyebrows?
Bare Minerals is the absolute best foundation! What is the best make up foundation and also what should i do i have blonde hair but brown eyebrows?
I would say a light translucent powder foundation would be best for anyone. Just make sure it is your skin color. As for your hair situation, if you like it, leave it. If you don't, you could either dye your eyebrows blonde, or your hair brown! Just make sure the colors match well!

What is the best make-up foundation?
Girls, recommend me your favorite foundation that's non-comedogenic, hypo-allergenic and gives great coverage.
Thanks!What is the best make-up foundation?
I use Clinique ';perfectly real';. Good coverage, average price, and has SPF protection to keep your skin healthy, even on cloudy days its beneficial. If you have a Nordstroms in your town, go the counter, the beauticians will find what works best for your skin. It might cost you about $40 for liquid foundation and powder, but they will take the guess work out of the scenario and you wont end up spending money on something you wont use. Mine usually lasts 6 months, so its not that big of an investment for having a fresh face :)What is the best make-up foundation?
Almay is hypo-allergenic. Cover Girl is ';clean'; and feels clean on. L'Oreal has foundations. It really all depends on individual preferences and needs (sheer or more cover).
I've found that most of the ';stand-priced'; foundations are fine. My preference is the sheerest coverage because heavier make-ups feel (and sometimes look) heavy.
Oil-free make-ups can be very dry and cakey. Age-defying make-ups can be putty-ish.
Keeping the skin super-clean before applying, and removing the make-up really well probably is the key to not breaking out, although heavy foundations make contribute to break-outs more than sheer foundations.
A sheer pressed powder can make a nice finish for any foundation. (If you're problem is break-outs make sure you don't irritate your skin with something like a face cloth when you wash because that makes break-outs worse. Use either disposable cleansing cloths or your hands when washing your face.)
covergirl
I really love using bare escentuals mineral powder. It gives GREAT coverage. It actually improves my skin as well.
I love Mineral Powder now. The key is getting the right shade.
My skin is actually nicer since I started using it.
Get the Neutragena liquid base w/salicylic acid (an anti-inflammatory). Doesn't clog pores, doesn't irritate and covers nicely.
It is about $8 a bottle but you can get it on sale. Always use a moisturizer on your face before you apply base (even if your skin is oily in places). And blend, blend blend .
Hint: I never apply moisturizer or base with my fingers because of possible bacterial contamination from my fingers onto my face and from my fingers onto the bottle rim.
I have been doing it this way since I've worn base and have never had it cause a bad breakout or clogged pores.
Bare Minerals are amazing. You can get as light or as heavy coverage as you want. I love how they give you two colors so you can blend or use one or the other when seasons change incase you get a tan or become paler. I've tried a lot of other foundations, but this is by far my favorite.
i would have to say cover girl, its natural
I love love love Mineral Girlz. It helps my skin look and feel so healthy. I have issues with break outs and when I wear it my break outs happen less often and are not near as bad. It is natural too.
i would say neutrogena or loreal
Alimacosmetics.com
Locally owned in my town, cheap, no preservatives or anything!
well i use prescriptives virtual skin foundation and multi-use powder, can be worn alone, wet or dry. when its too hot i just use powder. it gives me a natural look, i dont want to look like im wearing makeup. my skin is pretty clear and it doesnt clog it as im taking care to cleanse, tone and moisturizing faithfully. before i was using fashion fair and it was too heavy.

I love love love Mineral Girlz. It helps my skin look and feel so healthy. I have issues with break outs and when I wear it my break outs happen less often and are not near as bad. It is natural too.
i would say neutrogena or loreal
Alimacosmetics.com
Locally owned in my town, cheap, no preservatives or anything!
well i use prescriptives virtual skin foundation and multi-use powder, can be worn alone, wet or dry. when its too hot i just use powder. it gives me a natural look, i dont want to look like im wearing makeup. my skin is pretty clear and it doesnt clog it as im taking care to cleanse, tone and moisturizing faithfully. before i was using fashion fair and it was too heavy.

Does make-up foundation really age your skin overtime?
Yes it does. The chemicals in foundation tend to clog
your skin with pores.Does make-up foundation really age your skin overtime?
I don't know. I've actually read that women who wear foundation ecspecially with SPF in it tend to have younger looking skin. I would do research on Yahoo search. You should be able to find acticles on this.Does make-up foundation really age your skin overtime?

What is the harm or benefit if we put foundation during make up?
I don't understand cuz some ppl say it's good to put foundation, but some say put face base enough already... i'm really so confused...Should i put face base then foundation then only make up - like blusher, eyeshadow etc OR Should i just put face base then can apply make up already OR Should i just put foundation then apply make up OR just apply make up without foundation %26amp; face base?What is the harm or benefit if we put foundation during make up?
I have no idea what face base is, but if you mean primer, it goes underneath the makeup. Sequence is moisturizer first, then primer, foundation, setting powder. If you use mineral powder makeup, you don't need the setting powder. And by the way, foundation IS makeup. It's the skin-toned stuff you put on. Makeup means everything from eye liner to foundation to lipstick to eye shadow. It's a general term meaning cosmetics for the face.

How can i stop my foundation (make up ) from going all blotchy and coming of?
when i put my foundation on it always goes blotchy and cumz off and leaves a line found my face its so annoying and dead noticible is there anythin tht i can do to stop it from coming of easilyHow can i stop my foundation (make up ) from going all blotchy and coming of?
make sure you put moistureizer on and let it dry before you put on foundation. Don't put on too much foundation and make sure you hvae a quality product. I like Cllinique perfectly real foundations... After the foundation apply powder which will set the foundation in place. Also, make sure you're exfoliating your skin so that dry skin and what not aren't messing up your foundation's look. I like microderm abrasion for making my skin look radiant.How can i stop my foundation (make up ) from going all blotchy and coming of?
You need to use a better foundation. My guess is you're using a drugstore brand like Cover Girl? First step: get something from Sephora, most anything there will do.
Second, how old are you? If you're under 30, you probably can go without foundation. Just use a concealer to dab on any blemishes or dark spots. Otherwise, it looks like you're using too much.
If the problem still happens, and you still insist on wearing foundation, use a good cleanser. The Murad line is excellent. Pricey, but a good investment since it lasts a long time. Make sure you have a smooth, even canvas to start with. This can also be accomplished by using a pre-foundation ';base'; to fill in your pores. Smashbox makes an excellent one.
Finally, make sure you're using the right color. Have an employee at whatever store you go to help match up your skin tone with the right color. If there's a noticable line from your face to neck, it's the wrong color foundation..
Hope this helps!
yeah it sound slike you need a different brand. it soud slike you might be using a moisturizer... if so, be sure its totally dry before applying foundation!
Set your foundation with powder. You can use a colorless powder for that purpose. Also, make sure that you're not using too much foundation. I would also recommend that you apply the foundation with your fingers, it allows you to get it just where you need it.
Try getting a gentle exfoliate and scrub your face gently a couple of times a week.Thy should help!
OMG THAT IS A HUUUUUUUUGE PROBLEM
try playing counter strike
try running amakeup sponge dampened with water over your foundation before you do the rest of your face.
Try using Almy... It works wonders for me... and dont layer code of foundation on your skin...
Have you tried anything from the Bare Minerals line? It is a powder foundation, but it blends into the skin and you only need to use a tiny amount. If you have an ULTA nearby, you can buy it without having to purchase from the infomercial.
If you buy the entire starter kit, it will run you about $60 but you will get 2 foundations, powder, blush, and 3 brushes. After that, a single foundation is about $25.
Buy a good quality one...
Also it sounds like you might have dry skin, or really greasy so either cleanse or moisturize!
Wear a primer underneath and finish off with powder which sets the foundation in.
i would suggest useing an different foundation... but if you really like the kind that you are using... maybe try putting a powder on after you use your foundation cause that will hepl it from getting blotchy

I am going to began wearing concealer and foundation make-up. How do i choose the color that is right for me?
as a firsttimer, you cant do it by yourself. ask a salesrep to advise a shade thats matches yours. or you can just try products on. the downfall of drugstore makeup is that occasionally there arent any testers available, which is why i use department store makeup because the specialists there do all the work for you and testers are always available, and if you ask nicely, samples!I am going to began wearing concealer and foundation make-up. How do i choose the color that is right for me?
You first want to narrow down your choices - decide if you have a fair, medium, or dark complexion. Then when you choose what brand of concealer %26amp; foundation you want, there should be about 3-5 choices of the one you picked. Then you just pick the one you think matches best. If you're not sure, or if you're in between a two of them, go with a lighter one, and just buy a darker shade of powder. Going too dark will you give a bad, orange glow.I am going to began wearing concealer and foundation make-up. How do i choose the color that is right for me?
This is what I do, I go the a make up counter..like the first poster said, they have those at Macy's then I buy what they use on me. In the future, I keep those bottles to take to the drugstore with me to match the colors up with store that they sell there.
There's lots of website's that will give you ideas but I would just go to a beauty counter at a macy's or dillards or something like that they will help you determine your best choices or even go to marykay.com i love their makeup and skin care lines!
I always find a mirror(compact usually)and compare it to my face.

What is the best way to put foundation/skin make up on?
Im decent at putting make up on, but sometimes I will see girls with the most porclien looking skin. What way do you apply foundation? My regieme consists of washing my face, putting on some facial lotion and then concealor on certain spots and then a light translucent powder.What is the best way to put foundation/skin make up on?
Foundation: choosing the right shade of foundation is hard on your own, so go to a cosmetics counter and seek professional advice. They will let you try out a range of colours and advise on which suits your skin tone best. One thing to bear in mind is that if you have only light freckles, there is no point in trying to cover them up with a darker shade - it will not work! It is better to stick to a sheer foundation. If they are very dark and you want to cover them up a little, a cream foundation will balance your skin tones.To apply foundation, firstly dot some on your forehead, nose, chin and cheeks. Using a small cosmetic sponge dampened with a little water, blend in to your face, paying particular attention to your hairline and jawline, as these are the areas where it is easy to spot foundation that has not been blended properly. You also want to avoid the orange face, white neck effect, so make sure it is blended into your skin evenly.
After this, gently press the tips of your fingers over your face - the heat will help the blending process. Finally, check your application in natural lighting, as this will show up any problem areas best.What is the best way to put foundation/skin make up on?
Any time. Report Abuse
Try the liquid kind with a big brush !!! M.A.C has all that stuff I love it:)
Dab it on your forehead,cheeks and chin then rub the foundation in using your fingers not a sponge.
dab dab dab dab dab dab dab dab dab dab
WEll, first use a facial lotion and then use concealer to cover up those flaws. spread the fountain all round ur face (u'll look all crazy n everything) take a sponge, and pour water and on it. Drain the excess water it until damp. And BLEND!!!
My favorite question, You're doing it right by adding a base before your foundation. Apply a foundation 1 shade lighter than your face then apply a pressed matte powder over.
Perfect complexion!!
**use concealer when you have a breakout, I like to use a concealer shade one shade lighter than my foundation under my eye.
If you use an airbrush foundation, that is supposed to make your skin look like porcelain. But, i think it might be expensive.
Apply some liquid or creamy foundation with a sponge. If your face tends to shine, apply the translucent powder at the end and troughout the day.
The first thing is to wash your face and then apply concealor on the blemishes or spots that you might have, then apply foundation on you face with your finger tips about a pea size, then you can apply loose powder (I recommend MAC)... you can then apply some blush so your face won't look to plain.

Make up (foundation, concealer) for oily skin with acne?
i want something that won't make my skin extra shiny at all because i hate that soooo much... who doesnt? :-)
also, do you think that i could just use concealer and powder? because i only need it in certain areas ( apples of cheeks, chin, nose)
thanks!Make up (foundation, concealer) for oily skin with acne?
i got oily skin as well, and i tend to break out.. but make up helps alot if you HAVE TO wear it.. the less amount of make-up is better for your skin.. i just use concealer and powder and its great.. dont use foundation!... if you can just put it on the areas you need then concealer is best. I use for concealer ALMAY senstive for acne prone skin.. and the BEST powder and make-up.. is called physicians formula.. it's make talc free so it doesn't clog your pores or affect your skin.. oh, and pointer - when you apply your make-up Concealer or powder, apply downwards always.. never push it up into the skin, alway go downwards, this helps by not pushing so much makeup into the pores.. hoope this helps :)Make up (foundation, concealer) for oily skin with acne?
I have really oily skin and I thought the best foundation for me was Loreal True Match Minerals Foundation Powder. You only need to apply once and it will stay on all day! It won't give you that cakey effect and it wont make your face shine, I love it! Benefit do some really good concealers, pricey yeah I know but they do really work. If you go there and ask on of the ladies they will advise you on which is best for your skin. =)

What to do about this foundation make-up?
I were fondation on my face. It is make-up by clinque. I recieved from the mall. The only problem that I have is when I were it my nose and cheeks get shiny. I have to keep blotting it with tissue to bring down the shine. When I talk to the lady at the counter she ask me ';Did I have oily skin';? I told her I was not sure. But, I believe that it was moderately oily. Is my face really oily? What can I do about this shine. My cousin where foundation, I don't know what brand she use on her face,but her face does not get oily nor can you tell she has it on. This is my first time applying foundation. What can I do?What to do about this foundation make-up?
get a free makeover at Macy's and learn about the right foundation for your skin typeWhat to do about this foundation make-up?
You have combination skin oil in the T zone ( nose, cheeks and chin) and the rest is normal to dry. You need to get a facial products to cleanse, tone and moisturize your skin. Also get makeup that is for that skin type. Also use rice papers or beauty blotters to blot and keep oil under control and make up looking fresh. You can get them almost anywhere from most major brands like Mac make up. Also from Mary Kay. I use those and I know usually beauty supply stores carry them. After you do your washing the face regiment the apply moisturizer and then you can apply your foundation use a non-comedogenic one so it wont clog your pores and cause more problems. Also try no to use heavy coverage. A real good make up line to use is Jane Iredale. Its mineral make up and looks so natural and flawless. It is kinda pricey but it's worth it. Also it lasts a long time so it does average out to drug store brands. You just don't have to buy it as often. you can get it from your local estetician or day spa. You can also look up a retailer near you on line?
try the for the oily skin foundation . oh u should try bobbi brown products. they are very good
dont use foundation its horrible for your skin and clogs ur pores and makes its oily and gross and it doesnt do anything for your skin! it actaully makes you look worse, its a very uneven finish and it NEVER comes off!! it sticks to your skin!! i went through waht u went through...use powder or if you can buy that bare mineral stuff its soo flawless trust me im a teen and its been working for me...it cover breakouts and redness and you look like a model with it on, in other words....use it!
oil mattifiers work great! but make sure you are using cleanser and moiturizer for oily to combination skin, the same for your foundation. everyone's skin is different so what works for your cousin may not work for you.
i have oily skin, plus now, im staying in dubai - a HOT place to stay.... i have tried on several creams in the hope that it will help lessen the oil - but nothing helped until i tried OIL OF OLAY (white cream) oh, before chatting further, do you have fair skin? brown maybe? cuz if you're reaaaaalllly dark skinned, i'm sorry, but i don't think this'll work on you...
so, ok... apply that cream first, then dab on your foundation... then finally appy the finishing make-ups... voila!
i hope this will help...
women deserve all the pampering they need PLUS the respect %26amp; adoration they can get:-)
gurl,
i have the same prob exactly like yours.
But i manage to find a solution.
First u have combination skin, normal to oily skin. Oily on T-zone and cheeks, thats the oiliest.
You need to use a moisturiser, doesnt mean oily skin dun need moisturiser. Our oily skin moisturiser acts as matifiers as well. Less sebum production on the affected areas.
Get to know ur skin before u apply any foudation.
3 steps skin care regime is a must. I use 2 find it a hassle but it paid off.........
Use foundation dats suitable for oily skin.
Stick ones are great! Avoid liquid ones. Also avoid 2 way cake, cause more build ups...makes it more oily. Prevent blotting with blotting paper...it will produce more oil. Use a thin sheet of tissue paper...it helps...dab lightly ..on the areas....
p/s: its best after applying moisturiser, find a great makeup base to hold your makeup longer and less shine. It helps UV rays and even ur skin tone.
if you have oily skin then get make up for that or change your facial products that you wash with
You need to use powder on your oily areas. Tell the salesperson that you think you have combination skin with oil in some places. If you use a mineral foundation like Bare Escentuals, you will not have as much trouble.
Apply powder on after it
Use Astringent
Apply a translucent powder before foundation
All those work great!

I am a seventeen year old guy (straight) who wears foundation make-up. Is that creepy or weird?
without it i look like ****. So i wont stop wearing it, do you know of any alternatives to wearing make-up? anything that gets rid of acne and acne scars?I am a seventeen year old guy (straight) who wears foundation make-up. Is that creepy or weird?
Ewwww.......something's wrong.....I am a seventeen year old guy (straight) who wears foundation make-up. Is that creepy or weird?
I think it is kinda weird... most of the kids in my school would think its very weird. BUT. If you look better with it, then keep wearing it. Also makeup makes acne worse it clogs your pours.. wash your face with Clearasil or something twice a day and rinse with cold water.
nope, i've got acne, i know how it feels.
its a bit weird
try cleansing ur skin
try proactive or dermalogica or if you lookin for a cheaper alternative biore
Acne sucks dude, i tried everything, but then i finally got the balls to go to a doctor and talk about it, and i got medication. And i am as happy as i have ever been :)
trust me, get the balls to go do a doctor - i did and im happier than i have been in a long time
No, I would appreciate that, it's not creepy. You want to look better, and it's not like you're wearing more obvious makeup like eyeliner and lipstick. I'm fifteen and think in the future more men will wear a little makeup. Unfortunately I don't know how to get rid of acne as I do the same thing as you!
As long as it looks natural, then you got nothing to worry about. If you want to get rid of acne you could go buy some acne cream from your local supermarket or chemist.
You're just vain and want to maintain your image I guess. Although, it's not every day I do see seventeen year old guys wearing foundation! Slightly odd...And to clear up acne/scars, just wash your face twice a day or go to the doctors and they will prescribe you with some acne medication.
no its finee!
guys steal my makeup all the time...
i bet tons of guys wear makeup but wont admit it.
but if your looking for something for acne...
';try lets be clear'; from AVON.
i use it and it helps soo much for my oily skin.
its soo much cheaper than proactive and it works BETTER.
i also have the spot treatment from them and its AMAZING. works over night.

well i dont think its weird or creepy at all.
but washing your face daily would help acne.
foundation is fine as long as you dont put too much or anything,
you dont want it to be obvious you are wearing it.
Nope thats fine
Just be sure you use items that has benefits and doesn't look like you are actually wearing some on if you know what I mean.
Good foundations and powders should blend in with your skin and match your skin tone. :)
There are in fact, make-up specifically for men nowadays... a whole range. :)
that's not wierd, in japan where i live they have a different type of makeup for guys.
about the acne, wash your face with soap thoroughly in the morning and evening and use a moisturising cream, its simple, easy and it works.
well i don't think its creepy at all because i know how annoying acne can be...i would recommend using neutrogena it helps a lot...i use the stress control one and i don't break out as much as i used to...i used to have giant pimples on my face and it they would be so hard to get rid of...but with this my face is smoother and the acne is almost gone...before this i used to use proactive but it would burn my face so i would recommend not using it but what also helped me was murad but i would only use it once a day because i have sensitive skin...but if this doesn't work then u don't see anything wrong with u using make up...(a make up that would help u not break out as much would be bare minerals..its only 25 bucks and it has amazing coverage and its very good for the skin)
Nah. One of my best friends is a guy and he wears makeup. Everyone knows it and he's still got almost every girl he meets chasing after him.
I will say this however: foundation can make you break out MORE. Be careful about what kind you're using and be plenty sure to wash it off every night.
see a dermotologist. he or she can prescribe you acutane. your acne will be gone forever and it gets rid of most of the scars. good luck.
its not common but its not creepy or weird. Although it will not help the acne or acne scarring. It will only temporarily cover the scars. Your skin is young so you have a high chance the skin can repair itself. Rather than make up you could try skin care to assist repairig the skin. A great one is the estee lauder repair wear night cream. Many creams that you use at night will be the most beneficial to repair skin as night time when you are asleep is the time when skin cells can regenerate or repair. You could also use a tinted mosituriser if the foundation looks or feels unnatual. good luck
Ewwww.......something's wrong.....I am a seventeen year old guy (straight) who wears foundation make-up. Is that creepy or weird?
I think it is kinda weird... most of the kids in my school would think its very weird. BUT. If you look better with it, then keep wearing it. Also makeup makes acne worse it clogs your pours.. wash your face with Clearasil or something twice a day and rinse with cold water.
nope, i've got acne, i know how it feels.
its a bit weird
try cleansing ur skin

What are the two basic fundamental facts that make up the foundation of economics?
The two fundamental facts that economics is based on are:
1. Individuals always act to maximise their utility (make themselves better off although not necessarily financially).
2. Firms always act to maximise profits.What are the two basic fundamental facts that make up the foundation of economics?
One of the areas in which disagreement among Austrian economists may seem to be nonexistent is that of methodology. Yet I shall attempt to point out that even with respect to method there are differences of opinion among individual thinkers. Some light may be cast on these differences by drawing attention to two distinct strands of thought that run through the writings of Austrian economists on the question of method. By separating these strands and then focusing on each in turn, we may discover and define different perspectives on economic method and perhaps more clearly understand how these different perspectives grow out of the unique view of method shared by all Austrian economists.
2.2.1
The general outline of the Austrian position on methodology is well known. Austrian economists are subjectivists; they emphasize the purposefulness of human action; they are unhappy with constructions that emphasize equilibrium to the exclusion of market processes; they are deeply suspicious of attempts to apply measurement procedures to economics; they are skeptical of empirical ';proofs'; of economic theorems and consequently have serious reservations about the validity and importance of a good deal of the empirical work being carried on in the economics profession today. These are the general features of the position that we know very well; yet within this general view we can distinguish two independent strands of argument. It is upon this debate that I should like to focus my attention in this paper.
2.2.2
TWO TASKS FOR ECONOMIC EXPLANATIONS
It will be helpful to cite two statements鈥攂y prominent Austrian economists鈥攁bout what economics as a discipline is supposed to achieve. The first is by Friedrich A. Hayek, and the other is by Ludwig M. Lachmann. Hayek in his Counter-revolution of Science contended that the function of social science, and by implication economics, is to explain how conscious, purposeful human action can generate unintended consequences through social interaction.*39 The emphasis here is on the unintended consequences of individual human decisions. To explain phenomena that are not the unintended consequences of human decision making is outside the scope of the social sciences in general and economics in particular. Hayek's position was cited by Alexander Gerschenkron in his contribution to the Akerman Festschrift, and I think Gerschenkron was perceptive in focusing on exactly what is, in Hayek's view, the fundamental task of economic explanation.*40
2.2.3
Let us contrast the Hayek view with one expressed by Lachmann. Lachmann's position on the purpose of economic explanations is dealt with at length in his contribution to the Hayek Festschrift, Roads to Freedom.*41 Here, however, I shall quote from a more recent statement of his position that appeared in his review of John R. Hicks's Capital and Time:
Economics has two tasks. The first is to make the world around us intelligible in terms of human action and the pursuit of plans. The second is to trace the unintended consequences of such action. Ricardian economics emphasized the second task, the ';subjective revolution'; of the 1870s stressed the urgency of the first, and the Austrian school has always cherished this tradition.*42
Thus, we have here two tasks for economics. Besides the task that Hayek emphasized鈥攖he tracing out of the unintended consequences of action鈥攚e have the requirement that it make the world around us intelligible in terms of human action.
2.2.4
It is worth reminding ourselves that the two tasks Lachmann identified are to be found in Carl Menger's writings. In the third part of his 1884 book on methodology Menger pointed out that actions do have unintended consequences, and he made it very clear, as Hayek had done, that economics is the science that is able to explain how these unintended consequences emerge in the market place.*43 But Menger was also aware of the other task Lachmann emphasized. In a letter Menger wrote L茅on Walras, cited by T. W. Hutchison in several of his writings,*44 Menger insisted that the economist is not merely after the relationships between quantities, but the essence of economic phenomena: ';the essence of value, the essence of land rent, the essence of entrepreneurs' profits, the essence of the division of labor.';*45 This view is what Kauder meant when he described Menger as holding that economics deals with social essences,*46 and what Hutchison called ';methodological essentialism.';*47
2.2.5
TWO BASIC AUSTRIAN TENETS
I have asserted that two distinct strands of thought may be identified in the writings of Austrian economists with regard to the meaning and purpose of economic explanation. I would now like to distinguish two distinct insights about the economic world that receive varying emphasis and are not often adequately differentiated. First, there is the insight that human action is purposeful, and, second, there is the insight that there is an indeterminacy and unpredictability inherent in human preferences, human expectations, and human knowledge. Now these two insights are really quite distinct, because one does not encompass the other in any logical or epistemological sense. That human action is purposeful is an insight by itself, and that human knowledge and expectations are largely unpredictable is another. Nor is the truth of these two propositions equally obvious. The purposefulness of human action is something we arrive at by introspection. In this sense it is ';obviously'; true. On the other hand, the insight that men's preferences are inherently unpredictable鈥攖hat we cannot discover consistent patterns in what men prefer and that we cannot postulate that there are consistent patterns in what men know and expect to happen鈥攃annot be arrived at by introspection. The truth claimed for this last insight depends on our observations of our fellow men; that we do as a matter of fact find them to be unpredictable in their actions and expectations about future states of the world.
2.2.6
To me, the different emphasis Austrian economists attach to these basic insights is largely responsible for their different attitudes regarding the purpose of economic explanation. The recognition of purposefulness is, of course, fundamental to our definition of economics as the logic of choice. We are able to use our logic to simulate the actions of other human beings only because we share the logic that other men's purposes lead them to harness in their own interests. The recognition of purposefulness is essential to our positive conception of economics as the logic of choice and to our enterprise of studying the consequences of purposeful action. But if we consider those aspects of the Austrian approach that are used, not to derive economic laws, but to criticize other areas of contemporary economic thought, then the second of these basic tenets comes into prominence. Our dissatisfaction with empirical work and our suspicion of measurement rest on the conviction that empirical observations of past human choices will not yield any regularities or any consistent pattern that may be safely extrapolated beyond the existing data at hand to yield scientific theorems of universal applicability.
2.2.7
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF PURPOSEFULNESS
Let us try to understand the role these basic tenets of Austrian economics play in the Lachmann-Hayek discussions concerning what economic explanation is all about. In 1938 T. W. Hutchison published The Significance and Basic Postulates of Economic Theory.*48 The book received a blistering Austrian-like critique from the pen of Frank H. Knight, who was on most other issues, such as capital theory, not in sympathy with the Austrian school. In that article Knight conveyed some brilliant insights about the relationship of economics to the study of human action. Knight noted that ';the whole subject of conduct鈥攊nterests and motivation鈥攃onstitutes a different realm of reality from the external world.'; In addition to the external world, with which the natural sciences are conversant, there is a different realm of reality, a realm no less real than the external world, but nevertheless different from it. This other realm is that of human conduct, which Knight identified as interests, motivation, and purpose.
The first fact to be recorded is that this realm of reality exists or ';is there.'; This fact cannot be proved or argued or ';tested.'; If anyone denies that men have interests or that ';we'; have a considerable amount of valid knowledge about them, economics and all its works will simply be to such a person what the world of color is to the blind man. But there would still be one difference: a man who is physically, ocularly blind may still be rated of normal intelligence and in his right mind.*49
Here, surely, we have the first of the basic tenets of Austrian theory, that there is a realm of reality constituted of human motives, interests, and purposes, and that, although purposes cannot be seen or touched, they are nonetheless ';there.';
2.2.8
When Lachmann called upon economists to make the world intelligible in terms of human decisions and purposes, I take it that he was telling us the following: It is the task of science to describe and explain reality. If reality consists of more than the external world, then a science that is confined to the facts of the external world is simply incomplete. It does not account for everything that is there. The Austrian approach insists that there is something besides the facts of the external world and the relationships that may be postulated between these bare facts. What is that something else? It is the realm of reality that Knight pointed to, the realm of purposes. And even if one were able to explain the facts of the external world in terms of similar facts, without regard to the human purposes underlying these facts, one would not have explained everything there is to be explained, not have set forth everything there is to set forth. One would have failed to make the world intelligible in terms of human action, that is, in terms of human purposes. Thus, even if the second Austrian tenet (that there are no constants in human behavior) were false, even if one were able to postulate consistent chains of cause and effect that depend only on externally observable phenomena, still one has failed to fulfill one's scientific obligation. There is a realm of reality called purposes. It is there, and if we fail to point it out, then we fail in the task of making the world intelligible in terms of human action.
--------------------------------------鈥?br>
2.2.9
Let us consider a simple example. Suppose a man from Mars is doing research for his doctorate and, after focusing his telescope on a particular location on Earth, discovers a certain regularity. Through his telescope he observes a set of boxes lined up in a row. He further discovers that a smaller box moves past these boxes every day at 7:30 A.M., comes to a stop at one of the boxes, and then, after a short stay, moves on. Moreover the investigator discovers something else; out of one of these boxes a body emerges every morning, and when the moving box makes its daily stop, the body is swallowed up by the moving box. Discovering this regularity, the researcher postulates a definite law, the law of moving boxes and bodies. As he goes on with the research, however, he discovers that sometimes the box moves away before the body has entered it, leaving the body behind altogether; while sometimes the body moves at an unusually rapid speed, arriving at the daily moving-box stop just in time to be swallowed up before the box moves on. Now this Martian researcher may be able to predict just when the person is going to miss the box and when he is going to catch it. He may even be able to explain the movements of the body and the box entirely without reference to the fact that someone is trying to catch the bus because he wants to get to work on time. But if he does so, he has not told us everything there is to be learned about this situation. A theory of moving bodies and boxes that does not draw attention to the dimension of purpose gives a truncated picture of the real world. This is what economics, in the Austrian view, is all about. Economics has to make the world intelligible in terms of human motives. It is more than simply moving boxes or changing economic quantities. This is the task to which Lachmann drew our attention when he insisted that we must make the world intelligible in terms of human purpose.
2.2.10
A memorable passage in Hayek's Counter-revolution is the one in which he explained that objects useful to human beings are simply not objective facts.
In fact most of the objects of social or human action are not ';objective facts'; in the special narrow sense in which this term is used by the [natural] Sciences...they cannot be defined in physical terms.... Take the concept of a ';tool'; or ';instrument,'; or of any particular tool such as a hammer or a barometer. It is easily seen that these concepts cannot be interpreted to refer to ';objective facts,'; i.e. to things irrespective of what people think about them.*50
Pursuing this point Hayek asserted (in a footnote reference to the work of Ludwig von Mises) that every important advance in economic theory in the preceding century had been a result of the consistent application of subjectivism.*51 Lachmann's advice to economists paralleled Hayek's. According to Hayek, when we deal with artifacts鈥攚ith tools and instruments or other products of human beings鈥攚e have not exhausted the description of what it is that we are describing if we stubbornly confine ourselves to their physical entities. We have not described a hammer until we have drawn attention to its purpose. Lachmann, similarly, instructed us that when we deal with broader questions, with institutions and regularities in economic affairs, we have not completed our task if we have not called attention to the purposes and motives and interests that underlie these phenomena. A hammer is more than a handle with a metal head; so is a price more than a number, milk consumption more than a number of gallons, and its relationship to price more than a simple functional relationship. A whole world of interests and motives is ';there,'; is real, and it is surely our responsibility as scientists to make it clear.
2.2.11
Critics of Austrian methodology often argue that since praxeology deals with unobservables, it is inherently incapable of telling us anything scientific about observables. The latest (and perhaps the clearest and most sympathetic) statement of this argument was by James Buchanan, in his contribution to the Hayek Festschrift,*52 when he drew attention to the distinction between (1) the logic of choice (what he called the abstract science of economic behavior) and (2) the predictive science of human behavior. Buchanan argued that if we treat economics as the logic of choice, it cannot in principle lead to refutable hypotheses because no particular preference ordering has been specified, and to that extent it cannot tell us anything about the real world.
2.2.12
In answer to Buchanan, our discussion indicates that the truth is the other way around. We are not only able to say something about the real world; we are also able to say a great deal about a large and important area of human experience about which other disciplines are necessarily silent鈥攖he realm of purpose. This needs to be stated and restated, emphasized and reemphasized, again and again! The real world is more than the external world; the real world includes a whole range of matters beyond the scope of the measuring instruments of the econometrician. Economic science must be able to encompass this realm.
2.2.13
It is helpful in pursuing this strand of thought in Austrian methodology to constrast the Austrian use of purpose with the rationality hypothesis often employed by economists. For many non-Austrian economists this hypothesis is invoked with apologies and is considered something of a necessary evil. It is used to get theoretical results and is justified on the grounds that these results seem to fit the facts of the outside world although the hypothesis is philosophically suspect. Thus we find Gary Becker eager to demonstrate how certain fundamental theorems of economics do not require the rationality hypothesis鈥攖hat rather embarrassing piece of excess baggage.*53 For Austrian economists, on the other hand, the notion of purposefulness is not merely a useful tool to obtain results but an essential element of economic reality that cannot be omitted. Making reference to human plans and motivations is an essential part of the economist's scientific task.
2.2.14
THE UNPREDICTABILITY OF KNOWLEDGE: A DILEMMA
Let us turn to the second basic tenet of Austrian methodology, the proposition that there is an inherent unpredictability and indeterminacy with regard to human preferences, expectations, and knowledge. I have already pointed out that this proposition does not have the same introspectively obvious ring of truth that the idea of human purposefulness does. Are we really so certain that human wants and human preference-orderings and the manner in which they undergo modification are inherently unpredictable? In fact, I wish to suggest that asserting this creates something of a dilemma for the Austrian economist.
2.2.15
There is a passage in an essay by Hayek that deals with this very question. In that essay Hayek discussed the concept of equilibrium and raised the problem of whether or not there is a tendency toward equilibrium in the economic world. Hayek remarked:
It is clear that, if we want to make the assertion that, under certain conditions, people will approach that state, we must explain by what process they will acquire the necessary knowledge. Of course, any assumption about the actual acquisition of knowledge in the course of this process will also be of a hypothetical character. But this does not mean that all such assumptions are equally justified. We have to deal here with assumptions about causation, so that what we assume must not only be regarded as possible...but must also be regarded as likely to be true; and it must be possible, at least in principle, to demonstrate that it is true in particular cases. The significant point here is that it is these apparently subsidiary hypotheses or assumptions that people do learn from experience, and about how they acquire knowledge, which constitute the empirical content of our propositions about what happens in the real world.*54
2.2.16
Hayek, then, asserted that when postulating a tendency toward equilibrium, we do have to resort to a particular empirical proposition. Moreover, the empirical proposition in question would seem to contradict the other idea that there are an inherent unpredictability and an indeterminacy about human preferences and human knowledge. If we are to be able to say anything about the process of equilibration, especially if we are to say something about the course by which human decisions lead to unintended consequences, we shall have to rely upon the particular empirical proposition that men learn from market experience in a systematic manner. This is inconsistent with the second tenet underlying Austrian economics that there is an inherent indeterminacy in the way by which human knowledge changes.
2.2.17
Hayek's argument is straightforward. In disequilibrium man's knowledge is imperfect, some people are making mistakes; equilibrium is the situation in which nobody is making mistakes. A movement from disequilibrium to equilibrium must therefore be one in which men gradually learn to avoid mistakes, so that their actions become more and more coordinated. Where do we derive our confidence that this type of learning in fact takes place? Hayek stated very clearly that this is an empirical hypothesis. If we reject this hypothesis, then we reject the basis for viewing the market process as an equilibrating mechanism鈥攖hat is, reject the claim that economics can tell us anything definite about the unintended market consequences of human actions. We may still be able to make the world intelligible鈥攖hat is, we may explain that what happens happens because human beings pursue their purposes. We can assert that their interacting decisions generate certain changes in knowledge, but we shall no longer be able to say in which particular directions knowledge changes, and we can no longer postulate a determinate process toward equilibrium. We shall, to put the matter succinctly, not be able to go beyond the first Lachmann task in order to pursue the program advanced by Hayek. If, however, we confine ourselves to the enormously important task of making the world intelligible in terms of human purposes, we need not accept Hayek's empirical proposition about the coordination of plans and the progressive elimination of mistakes. But if we are to explain the unintended consequences of human action, that is, if we are to assert that there is a tendency for entrepreneurial profits to be eliminated, or for prices to move in one direction rather than another, we must be able to say something about the manner in which human knowledge and human expectations undergo modification. If one accepts this particular empirical hypothesis, one has surely weakened, perhaps irreparably, the second basic tenet underlying Austrian methodology.
2.2.18
CONCLUSION
We have identified two requirements of economic explanations that Austrian economists consider important. We have also identified two basic tenets that seem fundamental to Austrian methodology. It turns out, however, that while one of these basic tenets, that of human purposefulness, is sufficient to sustain one of these two requirements (that of making the world intelligible in terms of human action), the second, which asserts the unpredictability of human knowledge, is inconsistent with the requirement that economic explanations trace the unintended consequences of human action. It seems therefore that the future progress of the Austrian school in applying its basic methodological tenets requires some decision about the extent to which the second tenet about the inconstancy of human purposes and knowledge can be upheld as a general proposition.What are the two basic fundamental facts that make up the foundation of economics?
Supply and Demand. That's it. Vote me best please because I came up with it first.
IT SUPPLY AND DEMAND!
1. there is limited resources
2. human has unlimited demand
1. Individuals always act to maximise their utility (make themselves better off although not necessarily financially).
2. Firms always act to maximise profits.What are the two basic fundamental facts that make up the foundation of economics?
One of the areas in which disagreement among Austrian economists may seem to be nonexistent is that of methodology. Yet I shall attempt to point out that even with respect to method there are differences of opinion among individual thinkers. Some light may be cast on these differences by drawing attention to two distinct strands of thought that run through the writings of Austrian economists on the question of method.

2.2.2
TWO TASKS FOR ECONOMIC EXPLANATIONS
It will be helpful to cite two statements鈥攂y prominent Austrian economists鈥攁bout what economics as a discipline is supposed to achieve. The first is by Friedrich A.

Hutchison in several of his writings,*44 Menger insisted that the economist is not merely after the relationships between quantities, but the essence of economic phenomena: ';the essence of value, the essence of land rent, the essence of entrepreneurs' profits, the essence of the division of labor.';*45 This view is what Kauder meant when he described Menger as holding that economics deals with social essences,*46 and what Hutchison called ';methodological essentialism.';*47

TWO BASIC AUSTRIAN TENETS
I have asserted that two distinct strands of thought may be identified in the writings of Austrian economists with regard to the meaning and purpose of economic explanation. I would now like to distinguish two distinct insights about the economic world that receive varying emphasis and are not often adequately differentiated. First, there is the insight that human action is purposeful, and, second, there is the insight that there is an indeterminacy and unpredictability inherent in human preferences, human expectations, and human knowledge. Now these two insights are really quite distinct, because one does not encompass the other in any logical or epistemological sense. That human action is purposeful is an insight by itself, and that human knowledge and expectations are largely unpredictable is another. Nor is the truth of these two propositions equally obvious. The purposefulness of human action is something we arrive at by introspection. In this sense it is ';obviously'; true. On the other hand, the insight that men's preferences are inherently unpredictable鈥攖hat we cannot discover consistent patterns in what men prefer and that we cannot postulate that there are consistent patterns in what men know and expect to happen鈥攃annot be arrived at by introspection. The truth claimed for this last insight depends on our observations of our fellow men; that we do as a matter of fact find them to be unpredictable in their actions and expectations about future states of the world.
2.2.6
To me, the different emphasis Austrian economists attach to these basic insights is largely responsible for their different attitudes regarding the purpose of economic explanation. The recognition of purposefulness is, of course, fundamental to our definition of economics as the logic of choice. We are able to use our logic to simulate the actions of other human beings only because we share the logic that other men's purposes lead them to harness in their own interests. The recognition of purposefulness is essential to our positive conception of economics as the logic of choice and to our enterprise of studying the consequences of purposeful action. But if we consider those aspects of the Austrian approach that are used, not to derive economic laws, but to criticize other areas of contemporary economic thought, then the second of these basic tenets comes into prominence. Our dissatisfaction with empirical work and our suspicion of measurement rest on the conviction that empirical observations of past human choices will not yield any regularities or any consistent pattern that may be safely extrapolated beyond the existing data at hand to yield scientific theorems of universal applicability.
2.2.7
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF PURPOSEFULNESS
Let us try to understand the role these basic tenets of Austrian economics play in the Lachmann-Hayek discussions concerning what economic explanation is all about. In 1938 T. W. Hutchison published The Significance and Basic Postulates of Economic Theory.*48 The book received a blistering Austrian-like critique from the pen of Frank H. Knight, who was on most other issues, such as capital theory, not in sympathy with the Austrian school. In that article Knight conveyed some brilliant insights about the relationship of economics to the study of human action. Knight noted that ';the whole subject of conduct鈥攊nterests and motivation鈥攃onstitutes a different realm of reality from the external world.'; In addition to the external world, with which the natural sciences are conversant, there is a different realm of reality, a realm no less real than the external world, but nevertheless different from it. This other realm is that of human conduct, which Knight identified as interests, motivation, and purpose.
The first fact to be recorded is that this realm of reality exists or ';is there.'; This fact cannot be proved or argued or ';tested.'; If anyone denies that men have interests or that ';we'; have a considerable amount of valid knowledge about them, economics and all its works will simply be to such a person what the world of color is to the blind man. But there would still be one difference: a man who is physically, ocularly blind may still be rated of normal intelligence and in his right mind.*49
Here, surely, we have the first of the basic tenets of Austrian theory, that there is a realm of reality constituted of human motives, interests, and purposes, and that, although purposes cannot be seen or touched, they are nonetheless ';there.';
2.2.8
When Lachmann called upon economists to make the world intelligible in terms of human decisions and purposes, I take it that he was telling us the following: It is the task of science to describe and explain reality. If reality consists of more than the external world, then a science that is confined to the facts of the external world is simply incomplete. It does not account for everything that is there. The Austrian approach insists that there is something besides the facts of the external world and the relationships that may be postulated between these bare facts. What is that something else? It is the realm of reality that Knight pointed to, the realm of purposes. And even if one were able to explain the facts of the external world in terms of similar facts, without regard to the human purposes underlying these facts, one would not have explained everything there is to be explained, not have set forth everything there is to set forth. One would have failed to make the world intelligible in terms of human action, that is, in terms of human purposes. Thus, even if the second Austrian tenet (that there are no constants in human behavior) were false, even if one were able to postulate consistent chains of cause and effect that depend only on externally observable phenomena, still one has failed to fulfill one's scientific obligation. There is a realm of reality called purposes. It is there, and if we fail to point it out, then we fail in the task of making the world intelligible in terms of human action.

2.2.9
Let us consider a simple example. Suppose a man from Mars is doing research for his doctorate and, after focusing his telescope on a particular location on Earth, discovers a certain regularity. Through his telescope he observes a set of boxes lined up in a row. He further discovers that a smaller box moves past these boxes every day at 7:30 A.M., comes to a stop at one of the boxes, and then, after a short stay, moves on. Moreover the investigator discovers something else; out of one of these boxes a body emerges every morning, and when the moving box makes its daily stop, the body is swallowed up by the moving box. Discovering this regularity, the researcher postulates a definite law, the law of moving boxes and bodies. As he goes on with the research, however, he discovers that sometimes the box moves away before the body has entered it, leaving the body behind altogether; while sometimes the body moves at an unusually rapid speed, arriving at the daily moving-box stop just in time to be swallowed up before the box moves on. Now this Martian researcher may be able to predict just when the person is going to miss the box and when he is going to catch it. He may even be able to explain the movements of the body and the box entirely without reference to the fact that someone is trying to catch the bus because he wants to get to work on time. But if he does so, he has not told us everything there is to be learned about this situation. A theory of moving bodies and boxes that does not draw attention to the dimension of purpose gives a truncated picture of the real world. This is what economics, in the Austrian view, is all about. Economics has to make the world intelligible in terms of human motives. It is more than simply moving boxes or changing economic quantities. This is the task to which Lachmann drew our attention when he insisted that we must make the world intelligible in terms of human purpose.
2.2.10
A memorable passage in Hayek's Counter-revolution is the one in which he explained that objects useful to human beings are simply not objective facts.
In fact most of the objects of social or human action are not ';objective facts'; in the special narrow sense in which this term is used by the [natural] Sciences...they cannot be defined in physical terms.... Take the concept of a ';tool'; or ';instrument,'; or of any particular tool such as a hammer or a barometer. It is easily seen that these concepts cannot be interpreted to refer to ';objective facts,'; i.e. to things irrespective of what people think about them.*50
Pursuing this point Hayek asserted (in a footnote reference to the work of Ludwig von Mises) that every important advance in economic theory in the preceding century had been a result of the consistent application of subjectivism.*51 Lachmann's advice to economists paralleled Hayek's. According to Hayek, when we deal with artifacts鈥攚ith tools and instruments or other products of human beings鈥攚e have not exhausted the description of what it is that we are describing if we stubbornly confine ourselves to their physical entities. We have not described a hammer until we have drawn attention to its purpose. Lachmann, similarly, instructed us that when we deal with broader questions, with institutions and regularities in economic affairs, we have not completed our task if we have not called attention to the purposes and motives and interests that underlie these phenomena. A hammer is more than a handle with a metal head; so is a price more than a number, milk consumption more than a number of gallons, and its relationship to price more than a simple functional relationship. A whole world of interests and motives is ';there,'; is real, and it is surely our responsibility as scientists to make it clear.
2.2.11
Critics of Austrian methodology often argue that since praxeology deals with unobservables, it is inherently incapable of telling us anything scientific about observables. The latest (and perhaps the clearest and most sympathetic) statement of this argument was by James Buchanan, in his contribution to the Hayek Festschrift,*52 when he drew attention to the distinction between (1) the logic of choice (what he called the abstract science of economic behavior) and (2) the predictive science of human behavior. Buchanan argued that if we treat economics as the logic of choice, it cannot in principle lead to refutable hypotheses because no particular preference ordering has been specified, and to that extent it cannot tell us anything about the real world.
2.2.12
In answer to Buchanan, our discussion indicates that the truth is the other way around. We are not only able to say something about the real world; we are also able to say a great deal about a large and important area of human experience about which other disciplines are necessarily silent鈥攖he realm of purpose. This needs to be stated and restated, emphasized and reemphasized, again and again! The real world is more than the external world; the real world includes a whole range of matters beyond the scope of the measuring instruments of the econometrician. Economic science must be able to encompass this realm.
2.2.13
It is helpful in pursuing this strand of thought in Austrian methodology to constrast the Austrian use of purpose with the rationality hypothesis often employed by economists. For many non-Austrian economists this hypothesis is invoked with apologies and is considered something of a necessary evil. It is used to get theoretical results and is justified on the grounds that these results seem to fit the facts of the outside world although the hypothesis is philosophically suspect. Thus we find Gary Becker eager to demonstrate how certain fundamental theorems of economics do not require the rationality hypothesis鈥攖hat rather embarrassing piece of excess baggage.*53 For Austrian economists, on the other hand, the notion of purposefulness is not merely a useful tool to obtain results but an essential element of economic reality that cannot be omitted. Making reference to human plans and motivations is an essential part of the economist's scientific task.
2.2.14
THE UNPREDICTABILITY OF KNOWLEDGE: A DILEMMA
Let us turn to the second basic tenet of Austrian methodology, the proposition that there is an inherent unpredictability and indeterminacy with regard to human preferences, expectations, and knowledge. I have already pointed out that this proposition does not have the same introspectively obvious ring of truth that the idea of human purposefulness does. Are we really so certain that human wants and human preference-orderings and the manner in which they undergo modification are inherently unpredictable? In fact, I wish to suggest that asserting this creates something of a dilemma for the Austrian economist.
2.2.15
There is a passage in an essay by Hayek that deals with this very question. In that essay Hayek discussed the concept of equilibrium and raised the problem of whether or not there is a tendency toward equilibrium in the economic world. Hayek remarked:
It is clear that, if we want to make the assertion that, under certain conditions, people will approach that state, we must explain by what process they will acquire the necessary knowledge. Of course, any assumption about the actual acquisition of knowledge in the course of this process will also be of a hypothetical character. But this does not mean that all such assumptions are equally justified. We have to deal here with assumptions about causation, so that what we assume must not only be regarded as possible...but must also be regarded as likely to be true; and it must be possible, at least in principle, to demonstrate that it is true in particular cases. The significant point here is that it is these apparently subsidiary hypotheses or assumptions that people do learn from experience, and about how they acquire knowledge, which constitute the empirical content of our propositions about what happens in the real world.*54
2.2.16
Hayek, then, asserted that when postulating a tendency toward equilibrium, we do have to resort to a particular empirical proposition. Moreover, the empirical proposition in question would seem to contradict the other idea that there are an inherent unpredictability and an indeterminacy about human preferences and human knowledge. If we are to be able to say anything about the process of equilibration, especially if we are to say something about the course by which human decisions lead to unintended consequences, we shall have to rely upon the particular empirical proposition that men learn from market experience in a systematic manner. This is inconsistent with the second tenet underlying Austrian economics that there is an inherent indeterminacy in the way by which human knowledge changes.
2.2.17
Hayek's argument is straightforward. In disequilibrium man's knowledge is imperfect, some people are making mistakes; equilibrium is the situation in which nobody is making mistakes. A movement from disequilibrium to equilibrium must therefore be one in which men gradually learn to avoid mistakes, so that their actions become more and more coordinated. Where do we derive our confidence that this type of learning in fact takes place? Hayek stated very clearly that this is an empirical hypothesis. If we reject this hypothesis, then we reject the basis for viewing the market process as an equilibrating mechanism鈥攖hat is, reject the claim that economics can tell us anything definite about the unintended market consequences of human actions. We may still be able to make the world intelligible鈥攖hat is, we may explain that what happens happens because human beings pursue their purposes. We can assert that their interacting decisions generate certain changes in knowledge, but we shall no longer be able to say in which particular directions knowledge changes, and we can no longer postulate a determinate process toward equilibrium. We shall, to put the matter succinctly, not be able to go beyond the first Lachmann task in order to pursue the program advanced by Hayek. If, however, we confine ourselves to the enormously important task of making the world intelligible in terms of human purposes, we need not accept Hayek's empirical proposition about the coordination of plans and the progressive elimination of mistakes. But if we are to explain the unintended consequences of human action, that is, if we are to assert that there is a tendency for entrepreneurial profits to be eliminated, or for prices to move in one direction rather than another, we must be able to say something about the manner in which human knowledge and human expectations undergo modification. If one accepts this particular empirical hypothesis, one has surely weakened, perhaps irreparably, the second basic tenet underlying Austrian methodology.
2.2.18
CONCLUSION
We have identified two requirements of economic explanations that Austrian economists consider important. We have also identified two basic tenets that seem fundamental to Austrian methodology. It turns out, however, that while one of these basic tenets, that of human purposefulness, is sufficient to sustain one of these two requirements (that of making the world intelligible in terms of human action), the second, which asserts the unpredictability of human knowledge, is inconsistent with the requirement that economic explanations trace the unintended consequences of human action. It seems therefore that the future progress of the Austrian school in applying its basic methodological tenets requires some decision about the extent to which the second tenet about the inconstancy of human purposes and knowledge can be upheld as a general proposition.What are the two basic fundamental facts that make up the foundation of economics?
Supply and Demand. That's it. Vote me best please because I came up with it first.
IT SUPPLY AND DEMAND!
1. there is limited resources
2. human has unlimited demand
