Yvanne your really pale skinned aren't you? If you are I have same problemo because of that from foundation just 'sticking' to my skin and you can see it in patches and the same with tints makes me look greasy I spend £30 on one of the counters at boots under stuff and tint what a waste that was. Never found anything so I am considering the tan shop now when bubs is here tbh

£14....Wow....do they have a web site?? I've ran out and not got around to getting myself a new one yet!!

I have crrraaaazzzzyyyy skin, one week its dry, the next it goes oily and the next its normal & its also quite sensitive........my makeup stash probably weighs more than an Elephant!

I love No7.....Its taken me years to find something that agrees with my skin. Their moisturisers are really good for me and they also do another thing (cnt be assd going to check it) which you use as a foundation base if you have oily skin, it keeps your face matt! (they also do great offers!)

I use their intelligent Balance mousse foundation, however depending on how my skin acts I also use Almay 16hr, or Almay Skin stays clean foundation.

I've used to use Max Factor....I've tried most of thier foundations and I find they go quite tacky.

maybe use just a decent concelaer and some powder to even the tone?

i use really heavy foundation as i have soo many sun spots so my skin is quite patchy.

or try using a base, will stop the foundation sticking to the dry skin.

I swear by Clinique Super Balance foundation. £18 for a bottle that lasts me about 6 months and I use it every day.

[quote=Steph;129625]I use a few different ones, Clinique Double Wear is very good, its very runny, but thick so covers nasty blemishes but doesnt cake.

Christian Dior to a good airbrush one, i've finished that in a few months though so its not very good cost-per-use.

But regardless of foundation, invest in an Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat...genius![/quote]

expensive but totally worth it i LOVE my Yves range i spent £145 on make up from them, it lasts ages and the foudation leaves your skin flawless!!

I used Revlon - for everyday use, My Ives is special occasions!

I'm just about to order one - £13.90 including delivery. It better be as good as you say girls!

Oh, and do it through Quidco for 4% cashback!

My favorite foundation to use is the Covergirl TrueBlend. Its nice and creamy, but dries to a nice matte, not greasy finish. I really like it alot, although right now, I'm just using some regular cheap-o foundation. The True Blend costs like $9.00 or so at any drug store.
