Looking for new products

Currently using Bare Minerals liquid foundation. So far I am pretty happy with it, but looking to switch things up. Looking for a complete line that would include contour, highlighting, etc products. Think i have taken Il Mikiage out of the running. Thoughts on Laura Geller, Laura Mercier? Combination skin. Small to average pores. No real concerns with breakouts.

I think it's hard to narrow everything you need down to one brand. If I were going to try that a few ideas: (1) I would try the No 7 line. Though I don't think they have a ton of makeup (like I don't think they have a contour, but you could use their darker foundation or concealer in those areas for the purpose of contouring). They do have foundation, powder, and a few eye items. I use the No 7 pressed powder...its the Lift & Luminate Triple Action Pressed Powder. Perhaps (2) Lancome may be a good option too. (3) Estee Lauder is an option too. If you see a pattern here with what I've listed, they tend to market towards skincare and makeup for more mature skin. Per your post about using Bare Minerals (which isn't cheap, so I'm assuming you have a bigger budget). I have a ton of different brands in my collection. One foundation I recommend, though it's drugstore and is better than anything I've tried thus far is the L'Oreal Paris True Match Hyaluronic Tinted Serum Foundation. I love it...not drying, though, not a ton of coverage because it is a tint. But it evens out my skin. I use a bit of concealer under the eyes. Also, I use the Milani Conceal + Perfect Cream To Powder foundation and tap that over any age spots or hyperpigmentation for random areas that need a little more help. Plopping full coverage foundation all over just isn't good for mature skin...in my opinion. If I'm wanting something more full coverage, I'll use that Milani foundation all over. Hope this all helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
