I need to get some input, per my dermatologist, on foundations with SPF, as well as a good skin lotion/moisturizer with SPF as well.
Suggestions, anyone?

I don't wear foundation a lot so I can't help you there, but a great moisturizer with SPF is Philosophy's Pigment of Your Imagination. If you're looking for a tinted moisturizer that has SPF, whatever you do, don't get BalmShelter by TheBalm. I ordered it from Sephora and had to return it becuase it was so thick and oily that I felt like I was smearing paint spackle all over my face.

moisturizer with SPF: i swear by dramitcally different moisturizer by clinique. the gel works well with my oily skin. i know they also make it in a lotion, so that would go well with people with normal skin.
update on studio mist: i ordered some from the website, but then sunday i trekked out to georgetown to go to the mac store to make sure this product was something i wanted. i LOVED it. you spray it on a foundation brush then apply to the skin. it goes on damp then dries in a couple of minutes. it is light and non-smeary. it evened out my skin tone, it was more like a tinted moisturizer than an actual foundation. it will be great for me during the summer - not too heavy. did i mention i LOVED it? in addition to getting the one frome online, i bought another in the store. yeah! (note: i normally wear nw45. "deep dark" matched perfectly.)

Awwww, dangit! Now I gotta go try it. . . I have some MAC (that I haven't been wearing) and as of late I've been doing the Bare Minerals thing, now you're gonna make me try this stuff! But there's no rule that you can't have two different foundations, right? btw, my studio Fix shade is NW45 as well.

I am loving Stila right now...and have pretty much for the past year.
I really wish someone had taught me how to put on makeup properly when I was 12 or so...my mother's not so into that stuff and I'm the one who's into it...

Stila is my life. Great eye colors (KITTEN!!!!) & the lip glazes are awesome too.
My mom showed me some stuff but I think it was the girls at the Stila counter at Bloomingdale's who taught me the most!!

Need help finding a tinted moisturizer!
I don't wear make-up- usually just some tinted lip gloss like the burt's bees shimmer wand things. But I do use a moisturizer every morning or else my skin is very dry. I was hoping to find one that is not too heavy or oily that will help blend my skin tone more, still look natural, etc. Any suggestions? I went to the mall the other day and sampled an Aveda one on one side of my face. After walking around with it for a bit i decided it was too heavy/oily- unless she just put it on me too heavy or something. The Clinque counter swiped a thin line down my other cheek and it seemed to be ok, but I think she didn't put enough on...
What other brands are out there? I was hoping to not buy something quite as expensive as Aveda or Clinque- but if there is nothing else- those prices $25/26 are my limit, so please don't recommend something else any higher!

*sigh*
Probably will be hitting the MAC counter Saturday or Sunday with another MACaholic, delph998!
And I definitely want to get another eye shadow from Bare Minerals.

I recommend the new Bare Minerals eye shadow quad and the Blendable Camoflage eye color collection(for green and hazel eyes).

What colors are in your iQuad? I just got Meet the Greens in the eyeshadow club shipment.
My favorite collection is the Camoflage, and I have dark brown eyes!

Bare Minerals has an SPF 15 in all of their foundations and a 20 SPF in a few of their concealers. Bare Minerals also has the skin cancer foundation seal of approval.
Philosophy has Pigment of your Imagination which is a tinted moisturizer. I just ordered some to try and it should be here by the end of the week.
Clarins also makes some great moisturizers for the face that contain sunscreen. Their sun care line is also great to use as a moisturizer.
