Best Foundation Hunt, Value For Money And Durability!!

mostwantd

I'm not sure if this is the place to post this? why don't we have a Health and beauty board?

But anyways, i had seen the Loreal Infallible on television which states it should last upto 16 hours and to tell you the truth it only lasted for 3. So where do i stand on this? should i email them and ask them why they state this?? its such a waste of money!! :mad:

1. Is there a foundation that actually does what it says??
2. Best durability for all day cover without the CAKE effect??
3. great value for money??

let the search begin!

I was tempted to try this one - glad I didn't now. I use Estee Lauder Double Wear - does last a whole work day - I only buy it when there is a gift offer. Usually sell the gift items on ebay to get some of the money back as it is £21 a bottle - but my current bottle I have had since beginning of November - it is nearly empty but use it nearly every day. If you find an EL counter with a Brow Bar you can have your eyebrows "done" which costs £8 but they will take that £8 off any product you buy as well as give you the gift.

I really love Rimmel Hydrasense. It's only about £5.50 but it goes on so well, no cake effect or clogged pores. Its last quite well too. I've tried more expensive foundations, but much prefer Hydrasense.

Well the Loreal bottle was 12.99 from Superdrugs, but have now seen it on ebay for £6.00 :mad:

so if you go and get your brows done and save £8 and your given a free gift thats brilliant for £13.00 BARGAIN!!

I use the Maybelline Dream Matt Mousse ~ £6.99 at the moment in Boots although I stocked up when it was at £5.49

I have tried so many different ones and most of them don't live up to their advertising. This one is perfect for my skin tone and I look as good as I can when I leave the house. There are no mirrors at work :rolleyes: so I don't need to see how awful I look til I arrive home

MOH loves the Models Prefer range from QVC.

I use no7 3 in 1 its a foundation powder and concealor all in one it's priced at £10.50 and available at boots.
I never pay full price though i always stock up when they have no7 vouchers, which they have now. Get yourself down there.
£5 off no7 voucher available when you spend £10 instore so with £5 off it's most certainly a bargain. Hope this helps you

I would recommend Prescriptives Virtual range (Skin = light to med coverage, Youth = med to full and Matt = med to full). It is long lasting and contains no oil. It costs £22 instore but once you know which colour suits you best you can buy it off ebay. The last one I bought (via a US seller) only cost me about £12 inc postage!!!

I too use Estee Lauder DoubleWear, i have tried allsorts over the years but this is about the best i have tried. The cheaper versions i found made my skin feel dry and looked caked. I recently tried a sample of Rimmel Recover and although it was good, it wasnt a patch on DoubleWear. I think you can get away with cheapie foundations when your young, but when you have seen and waved goodbye to your 40th birthday you need to pay a little more.

Also, it helps if you give your foundation a light dusting of face powder to set it, but avoid the eyes.
