I'm Currently Feeling: | Make up I wear make up every day, and love what i wear.....apart from my foundation.....the key part!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I buy different ones alot, keep trying but never seem to have much luck.
I waste a fortune and then end up with them stuck in my drawer!
Can anyone suggest something good, that they reccomend and have bought more than once perhaps?
I have pale skin, and its of quite an uneven tone, and combination too.....great huh!!!
I use pressed powder too to set it off, any suggestions on that also greatly recieved!!!!!!! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Going through the same troubles as you with foundation. LOL
I have pale skin (especially right now while pregnant) but don't like to wear the same shade so I find a darker foundation. But I always still seem to get too light of one and look pale.
I do like Loreal Cashmere Perfect but it's so expensive so I've been trying others....and have a drawer full of them. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I had no money one month and was desperate for foundation, was in aldi and they had some for a couple of quid, so thought I would give it a try. I love it - its just so light compared to some of the thick expensive ones I've used |

I'm Currently Feeling: | If you can afford it i think its well worth investing decent money in a good foundation.
My "going out" "special occasion" foundation is chanel, i really rate their make up and have quite a lot of their stuff
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!! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | What kind do you use, liquid, powder etc?
i have very fair skin and it took me a long time to find one that fitted me nicely.
I use Max Factor Seamless, and it's great. It's a liquid one.
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.
