    I agree with double wear in pictures - the flash and reflections make me look really pale and weird against my tanned neck on nights out - so be careful for your wedding!!!

    Really want to try MAC now - just need to save up my pennies!!

    That Urban Decay primer sounds good though, I'll have a look at that!!
    I 100% swear to god that stuff is the bee's knees. I was doubtful but now I'm a convert.. :)
    Why not get a makeover done at the urban decay counter at boots/debenhams and get them to use the primer so you can see how it works for you? :)

    I have spent the last 20 years trying to find makeup that copes with my really greasy skin (lovely I know!) and doesn't leave me shining 10 minutes after applying it!

    The one product I cannot do without is Smashbox primer - I use the green colour correcting one cos I have really red skin on my cheeks - it tones me down so I don't glow as much.

    I got married in Mexico and my makeup stayed looking fresh all day after using the primer. The only problem I have is actually finding the stuff - I get it off Ebay as I've not found a high street store that actually stocks it. But it's fab.

    Oily skin I wish! Mine is very dry and I have a lot of quite large pores and nasty nasty blackheads which I can't seem to shift. Can anyone reccomend a foundation that will cover all this for a good few hours? Money is no object, I will pay anything if it works!!!

    Yes - try Clinque 'Even Better' foundation. Stays on all day, hides imperfections (yet looks natural) and is moisturising (i have dry and sensitive skin too) and also has SPF (15 I think). I am very fussy and I love it !

    I discovered an amazing suncream last year.
    Garnier Ambre Solaire Clear protect spray
    http://www.garnier.co.uk/_en/_gb/our_products/products_SUNCARE.aspx?tpcode=OUR_PRODUCTS^PRD_SUNCARE^AMBRE_SOLAIRE^AMBRE_SOLAIRE_DISCOVER^AMBRE_CLEAR
    It goes on light, rubs in like a dream, then you don't have that sticky suncream feeling for the rest of the day. It feels like you've not got any on.

    Best ever!
    Plus it's half price at tescos at the moment :money:

    I tried this out and I love it ! Perfect. Will be no grease marks on my dress ! Thnx Rainbow drops
