One of the most common mistakes people make with makeup is choosing the wrong shade of foundation. The right shade can be your best friend because when the color is perfect, it blends seamlessly into your skin and creates a flawless finish.
Vote below to let me know which foundation you think makes your skin look the smoothest. Consider texture and whether it cakes, flakes or settles into any fine lines you might have. And don't forget to check out all of the Sugar Best of 2007 polls here!

I am very loyal to Elizabeth Arden's Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer. I've worn it for years and will probably wear it for many more!
1Other-Everyday Minerals. I wear this for a few days, and my skin is so happy I need less and less foundation
2I love Stila's Sheer Color Tinted Moisturizer (SPF 15). It's a Sephora "Best of" product for a reason!
3Bare Escentuals!
4Where's Mac and Smashbox?
I love Studio Tech from Mac and Smashbox High Def.
BE is too shiny for me.
5Bare Escentuals bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation
6other - mac studio fix
7i've tried bare escentuals and HATED it because my skin was too dry for it.
Dior Pure Lightis the PERFECT foundation. I strayed to Stila recently but it didn't last.
8BE makes me itchy, shiny, & breaks me out!!!
I use Rimmel Cool Matte...it's mousse-y!
9BE is the best!
10I love Rimmel Renew and Lift. It's really silky
11maybelline pure makeup. it goes on like tinted moisturizer and lasts all day.
12Laura Mercier Oil-Free SPF 15 Foundation!
13I thought BE was an OK foundation b/c it's so easy & quick to apply, until I saw myself in pictures when I was wearing it. My skin looked so good in the photos, I don't think I'll every go back to liquid make up.
14I've been using Everyday Minerals for most of the year & I like it a lot. But the Best of 2007? Can't really say...
15I recently went to Prescriptives and plunked down the money for the Custom Blend (per Bella's recent rave review) and it is the best foundation I've ever used. For years I did not wear foundation because I did not like anything available...this is amazing. The color is absolutely perfect to my skin tone, my skin looks great. And I have very sensitive skin but it has not had any bad reactions or breakouts.
16i hate bare essentials. it made my skin 10x worse than normal because of the bithmus oxide in it. love clinique anything!
17I use benefit, it's the best.
18Almay, for break out prone skin...my skin is super sensitive and prone to breakouts. This stuff works so well for my skin and they don't test on animals
19Bare Escentuals made me a believer! it is the best natural looking makeup I have tried ever!
20NARS powder foundation!
21SHISEIDO TRUE BALANCING FOUNDATION....it's seriously magic.
22love smashbox high def fx!
23Smashbox high def!
24BE for sure. You can apply as much or as little powder as you choose and it feels sheer and light, plus it's all natural minerals! Can't go wrong!
25Dior foundation in an aerosol...I love it!!
26I've used BE foundation and thought it was great until I tried Philosophy Supernatural Airbrush Foundation. BE is nothing compared to that!
27Make Up For Ever Duo Mat powder foundation. It's great for combination/oily skin and gives great coverage!
28Laura Mercier Oil-Free SPF 15 Tinted Foundation. looooove it!
29Bare Escentuals of crse
30I hate Bare Escentuals, it's so irritating to my skin. I vote for Laura Mercier's Silk Creme, it's fantastic. Medium coverage that leaves my skin looking natural and luminous.
31Everyday Minerals foundation, the matte formula probably.
32Aboslutley Bare Essentuals, It has changed my skin.
33bobbi brown moisture rich foundation. just got it two days ago and love it. goes on and feels like silk.
34Kevyn Aucoin The Sensual Skin Enhancer (full coverage) or Kevyn Aucoin The Liquid Airbrush (medium coverage) are my faves!
35I wanted to love BE (it looks unbelievable on my BFF) but they don't make the right color for my skin so it looks awful on me
Laura Mercier's tinted moisturizer!!
36Bare Escentuals, I've only been using it for a few weeks and I love it.
37For flawless pictures try Giorgio Armani designer shaping cream foundation. It's great for pictures or when you want to be super made up but its way too heavy for day time.
38Laura Mercier oil-free tinted moisturizer is the best ever!
39MAC Select SPF 15
40Dior works as a magic wand!
41I live for MAC's Select SPF 15.
42Other: Lycogel Dermacia works really well for me.
I don't use the club option because I don't want the cleanser, toner, etc. and the hassle of having to cancel, etc. so I buy it from an online skin store. It works wonderful, only foundation that doesn't make me breakout and covers my zits. It's expensive but worth it. It can be thick so I mix it with oil-free moisturizer and it's perfect, especially as a camouflage or cover up for zits and undereye dark circles. Only wish it didn't have parabens...and was cheaper! LOL
43L'oreal Bare Naturale.
44Pretty much a knockoff of BE, but just as good.
Way cheaper.
Comes with a brush.
The exact color of my skin.
Spf 19.
Definitely the best of 2007!
I've never tried BE and I'm really tempted to, but I still love Shu Uemura's Water Perfect Smoothing Water-In Fluid Foundation. It doesn't have any sun protection though, so you need to apply a separate sunscreen prior.
45thank you for this post!
oh man.
ive been trying out new products to get a perfect one before i go to college in the fall.
mac foundation with the spf 15 made me break out and looked caked on; and irritated my skin to all redness after i took it off.
lorac tinted moisturizer made me feel greasy and dirty and made me break out after i took it off; but it looked beautiful on.
mac moisturecover concealer was wonderful.
i used to use cargo one base, but i forgot why i stopped.
46I use the Bare Escentuals, though I saw L'oreal Bare Naturale in a Wal-Mart and thought I might try it when my BE runs out.
47I love mark's PowderBuff for sheer coverage and mark Face Xpert for more coverage. Love mark!
48Benefit tinted moisturizer is great for sheer coverage
Chanel teinte innocence in the compact is fabulous:) Very good if you want something quick and nice
But my favorite a little pricey but so worth it for special events and such is ERA everyday airbrush foundation. I saw it on What Not to Wear and it looked fab so I bought it myself and tried it and it works great.
49I love and use Giorigio Armani. ALL their foundations rule. the coverage and moisture is amazing. pricey though. around $60. I have tried Dior and Chanel which are fab but after trying this one i love it. I don't need a primer. It glides on like butter. I use the Silk one.
