Good foundation recommendation please!

I can't wait to try it. Everyone on here's raving about it!! Not entirely sure I'm looking forward to the first week or so, I hear that this is when all the lovely oil comes out! I'm away for the weekend, so will give it a try on Monday. I'm sure I read that grapeseed is good for oily skin, so I'll try and hunt that down.

The best foundation is Perscriptives, I don't think ANY other brand touches them.

If you want a cheaper one, then I use No.7 intelligent colour for work.

Seraphin, I discovered the OCM thread last night. It sounds amazing. I've bought a travel bottle from Tesco to decant it into. Their muslin's well expensive though. At least I think it's expensive - I've never bought it before! It was in the baby section - 6 sheets for £4something. I also asked about castor oil, they do sell it, but were out of stock. any ideas on where to get cheap muslin?

I'm going to boots tomorrow, so will try and get some samples of the Superfit and Estee Lauder ones.

I've got No7 Under Make-up base stuff in a white tube. I've been using it for years. This stuff is really good, but I find I have to put it over the base or use no base as it drys the skin so much I can't make base glide on smoothly over the top. I use it on my forehead as I've never been able to get base on up there properly !

Those muslins will be nappy size.Most people buy those and cut them up - I prefer to keep them big. But any face cloth will do. I use whatever comes top of the pile, be it flannel or muslin. But I personally prefer the muslin as its easier to rinse through after use

If you are a bit put off the idea of using the OCM, you can try Decleor Ylang Ylang oil or Dr Hauschkas normalising day oil. I was using both before I found the OCM and was having success on controling the oil slick but costs sent me to the OCM. I still use the decleor Ylang Ylang night balm though - love it

I am in need of a good foundation. I have really oily skin and even by mid-morning it feels like I've got nothing left on my face :mad: . I keep blotting with mattifying powder, but I end up with it clogging my pores and you can see it sitting on the surface.

I don't mind investing in a good brand, as long as I know it'll work! :rolleyes:

Theres always mineral foundation, doesnt clog or cake

You dont need to use muslim a face cloth will do, i use muslim from my days of liz earle clean and polish, but i do use face clothes as wel. the important bit is the oil used and really massaging it into your pores, the cloth just lifts the oil and dirt off.

Good luck, let me know how you get on. I use castor oil and jojoba oil (the jojoba oil if fab used on your skin and hair as well, bought off a supplier on e-bay)

Hope that helps

You use a 'muslim' to clean your face?:eek:

I had a 5ml sample of Clarins True Comfort foundation when they were doing the 'my little treats' thing. I've got quite an oily t-zone and find that a lot of foundations don't provide enough coverage and have slid away by lunchtime but this Clarins was one of the best I've tried. Would definitely consider buying the full sized version which is about £20. Better than the Clinique ones I've tried anyway.

Hi.

I use Clinique superfit too. However what I find really helps is to use the Clinique City Block first then apply the foundation. This makes a really good base and helps to even out your skin before the foundation goes on plus it helps your makeup to stay on longer.
