cream to powder foundation?

[wasabirobot]

So, I'm having a love-hate relationship with my Benefit Some Kind-A Gorgeous foundation. I like the concept and the texture. But, I want a better color match and something *much* cheaper. I hit pan on this after a few weeks of intermittent use and there is no way I can spend that much on something I don't absolutely adore.

Any tips on lightweight,

I sell Mary Kay, so I use theirs, and I love cream-to-powder fountain. I've found that they all work well. They are a little thicker, so they cover better, but they don't feel heavy at all.

I accidentally bought L'oreal true match compact (not liquid) foundation the other day - I was going for the powder - and I LOVE it. I have been reaching for it every day since I got it, leaving my two MAC foundations to collect dust. It's pretty similar to some kind-a gorgeous but it feels a little lighter on the skin and comes in a much better range of colors. It was like $11 at Target, plus drugstores are always having buy one get one free, so even if you go through it quickly it will be cheaper than Benefit.

I had a problem with it making my skin super oily :[
does it do that to yours?

Well, my skin's pretty oily in the summer so I get oily about halfway through the day no matter what foundation I use, and I wouldn't say this is any better or any worse in terms of that. I do find with this foundation it's better if I don't moisturize beforehand though.
