Bonjour!

I'm getting married in 2025 and I have some trouble to find a good looking foundation for my textured pale skin.

I will be doing my own makeup with the help of a friend who is a former MUA. I have some allergies to several ingredients found in cosmetics so I am a little limited in my choice of product.

Over the years I have tried many foundations and have never found a product that looks like "my skin but better". I always feel like I'm wearing a crusty mask.

For my wedding, I would like an even complexion without the mask effect.

I'm 42 years old so I have small wrinkles, some visible pores on nose and cheeks and also some small scars.

There's a lot of good reviews for Armani Luminous Silk and Estee Lauder but I dont want to buy both just to try as they are pricey.

Which would be better between Armani Luminous Silk or Double Wear Estee Lauder for a natural finish which doesnt set in fine lines nor enhances imperfections? I would like a buttery feeling on the skin when blended.

And which method of application is the best for these products?

Thank you so much!
