Colour changing foundations

I recently tried May colour changing foundation, and I really like it. It goes on white but changes to blend with your skin tone. It gives light coverage and somehow fades blemishes and age spots. I’ve used a light dusting of Laura Geller baked foundation over it when I want to look a little more “done”. I don’t wear makeup every day but this looks very natural and people tell me I look well. It also makes my skin look well hydrated and doesn’t seem to settle into my “fine lines”! wink

Dr Jart colour correction cream is similar, that it adapts to your skin colour.set it with powder. Hides the redness on my cheeks.
I now don’t bother with foundation.
I have never heard of your recommended one, but I would give it a go. Is it expensive?

I bought Smooch it goes on white adapts to actual skin tone. Initially I was impressed but later on in the day it showed up my orange peel skin. It settled in every single pore and line not impressed at all.

I bought some recently, as the reviews looked so good. It felt lovely on my skin, went on easily with a brush, and changed colour as it said. But after a couple of hours, it was really greasy (I hadn't used moisturiser beforehand), so I've gone back to using my Revlon foundation.

I have used a similar product from Avon for several years and it is light and easy to apply and looks very natural.

I have also used the one from Avon for years , it is good and cheap as chips but recently someone said the formula had changed and they weren’t as happy.
I can’t comment on that as I haven’t bought any recently, when I did buy it I got it from Amazon as I don’t use an Avon rep.

I tried putting on my foundation with a brush yesterday, something I’ve never done before. It looked and felt much better. So how often should I wash the brush if I continue to do so? If I wash it after each use it won’t be dry by the next time I need to use it. And are some brushes better than others? And which foundation is better suited to the use of a brush? What I find is that the older I get the less make up I use but the longer it takes to apply.
