Reader Poll: What is YOUR favorite foundation?

What is your favorite, and least favorite, foundation on the market that you’ve tried? What did you like about it? What did you dislike about it?
My answer:
My favorite foundation I’ve used to date is Nixie’s Oil-Free Natural Finish foundation — while it’s rather runny, it offers great coverage, a great color selection, and a natural looking finish that lasts all day long.
My LEAST favorite foundation I’ve used is Bare Escentuals mineral make up. Thinking about it seriously makes me throw up in my mouth a little! Not only did I get a nasty rash from the stuff, but it also made me itch horrendously. I hate how the titanium dioxide is so prevalent in the formulation, that it makes all the darker foundations look ashy on dark skin! Bismuth oxychloride is my arch nemesis (Read my blog over there to your right for more information).
Now, what about you? 
Great, now I have to go get the Nixie Natural Finish! I’m liking the Full coverage creme, though at times I think it does settle a bit in my marionette lines! I also loved Pout UK’s foundation, but since the whole line has been discontinued, I’m out of luck there!

@Jessica Allison The cream does for me at times too! I have this “butt-crack wrinkle” forming in the middle of my forehead (I furrow my brows far too much), and the cream is SO creamy…. it does that to me. Less so if I use a primer, but most primers make me break out (I like the Light by Smashbox, I need to try Nixie’s now that I think of it). I really, really, really like the oil-free. I do warn you, it’s pretty runny! But it works well once you figure out how to work with it. I use a typical foundation brush and don’t have any issues
A little goes a long way with it too!

I’ll definitely have to try it- I have a normal foundation brush as well as a 187 from MAC, so I’ll have to see what works! I’m testing the MUFE HD in 110 right now- nice coverage, but I’m scared it’s settling a bit into the lines also. Maybe I just need some Restylane!
BTW, I’ve been following you on twitter, but I go by OutInAPout there (My website’s name).
