If I had to choose only one thing it would be the long lasting factor

I wasnt' able to vote in this, the poll only allowed me one choice when there are multiple factors that play into my decision.

Just sayin'.... Very Happy

I think nowadays a lot of foundation products have to deliver on more than 1 of these aspects you listed. That a foundation lasts all day in my opinion is an underlying MUST! It's the other things that sets one foundation apart from another!

I agree, it's a make-or-break factor if I have to re-apply it during the day. I hate carrying around a whole makeup bag with me, I'm usually just a lipgloss girl once I've done my makeup in the morning. Even so, I don't want to have to pay an arm and a leg for it or have clogged ugly skin underneath. I'd also maybe add something about getting the right color to match your skin, some lines of foundation just don't match me in any shade and I don't want to have to buy two and mix.

My first vote is for healthy, but I love a foundation to look natural (not masque-like) as well.

I would like my foundation to look natural, feel light and comfortable, cover any imperfections, be a great colour match and not turn into an oil slick after a couple of hours.

Needless to say I still haven't found my perfect foundation.

I think long lasting is a huge factor. There is no point in using a product that doesn't cover the imperfections and then has to be constantly reapplied over and over all day. Of course, it should feel great too.

I want some that is moisturizing, sheer coverage that just evens out the skin and doesn't look cakey. I'm always on the lookout for a really nice tinted moisturizer.

Hi Iliana, Good poll! One of the most important things for me in a foundation is not on your list:
Color choice. So many foundations are too yellow or pink, and simply don't match one's underlying skin tone. "Slip" is very important, as is the ability of the foundation to stay the way it looked when you first applied it. Too many foundations change color after application or cake, separate, dry, settle into lines,or simply disappear later in the day.

I picked to fight wrinkles, but I also want it to be long lasting and healthy. So I guess I want it all.

I would say long-lasting but at the same time it has to be comfortable and light for daily use.
Some foundations turned dull and yellowish after few hours Sad
