For daytime going to work i wear cheapy ones, normally i buy 2 or 3 shades and mix my own color because i can be a little pale at times!! | Thats a great idea pp, mixing shades!!!!!
I'm scared to spend too much on a pricey one, i did that with a clinique one and even though i let the guy at the counter put it on me and took some home etc etc, when i actually bought it i hated it!!!!  |

It covers my face easily and doesn't get blotchy - it makes my skin look so clear but natural and a nice shade.
The colour i use is Porcelain and sometimes (especially in the summer) i put a tiny bit of a darker powder on top for some colour, but not much.
They do smaller samples to try too.
You can get in from pretty much anywhere that sells make up, even supermarkets etc.

I prefer a liquid one, applied with a brush. I don't like the moussey ones, find they cake alot.
I like to finish it off with a powder to set it better.
THink i need to go shopping!!!!! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I have 2 moisturises, my skin is up and down. One moisturiser is for when I'm a bit greasy and the other is a normal moisteriser although its very light - Both are no7. I use a tinted foundation and seal it with a very light dab (using my fingers) of translucent.
I've tried all sorts of foundations, some cheap some very expensive and the powder type one - all rubbish.
This probably hasn't been much help - but anyway!

There's nothing wrong with user a shade or two darker as long as it is blended properly.  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I use No.7 one from boots. Can't for the life of me remember what its called. It's a liquid one that changes to the colour of your skintone. I use the light one. I think it's the intelligent colour one. (just looked it up on the website) |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I use L'oreal True Match. I buy two colours though and mix it because I can never get my right shade in a bottle.
You know if you go to some department stores, the cosmotologist that works at the makeup counter can usually mix you your perfect shade. Might be a bit costly, but it works. |
