I've heard good things about Laura Mercier Tinter Moisturizer.

I currently use Stila's illuminating moisturizer. I mix it with my regular moisturizer (Oil of Olay) so it go on smoothly.

Yeah the Illuminating one was what i was gonna try when i go. What do you use for blush? How do you apply it? (and how do you apply your "foundation"?)

I don't use foundation. I use Laura Geller's Balance - N - Bronze

What it is:
Half Bronze-n-Brighten (orange-free bronzing powder) and Half Balance-n-Brighten (neutral warm shades of tan).

What it is formulated to do:
The color infusions in this dual compact will correct imperfections in your skin, diminish a ruddy complexion, brighten sallow skin tones, and help you achieve a radiant, sunny glow.
To use: Apply the balance to smooth your complexion, and the bronze half to create a glow. Mix together for a combined effect.

For blush I alterate between Laura Geller's Blush - N - Brighten in Golden Apricot and Nars Orga$m.

To use: Swirl a blush brush across powder and swipe color from the top of your cheekbones to the apple of your cheek.

I've used the Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer for over a year now and really like it. It leaves my skin with a very dew-y look. Definitely give it a try.

I use Bare Esentuals make-up...they make this stuff called "pure radiance" it's like an illuminating powder...I puff a little on my cheeks, nose and forehead after my make-up is finished and it gives my face a nice glow...NOT SPARKLY at all, just nice and illuminating. My skin looks dull at times but after I put on a little of that stuff it looks awesome.

It could also be that your skin is changing with the weather change.

it may not be your make up at all....maybe try a different cleanser (the cooler air is drying, so it sun damage) before you blow a wad at Sephora. (and I always moisturize with regular facial moisturizer right out of the shower and THEN put my tinted moisturizer when I am doing my makeup)
