    Have you tried Lily Lolo? I've tried quite a few different ones, but I find it gives the best coverage but isn't heavy at all. Also the concealers (especially blush away) work so well. I couldn't leave without my blush away. After trying a lot of green foundations, its the only one that doesn't actually make me green!

    Yep, I tried Lily Lolo. Didn't like the way it felt on my skin. Some people say it is supposed to be anti this and anti that, suitable even for most sensitive skin, but it definitely "tingled" on my skin.

    I'm using Revlon Colorstay for the first time today, let's see if I remain shine free...

    I.D Bare Minerals/Bare Escentuals (same thing). It's the best foundation I've ever used and since I've been wearing it, I keep getting asked ID!!! WOOOH!!! (I'm over 30 now)

    It's a little tricky to get used to as it's a powder, but once you do, the results are fab!

    I bought mine on Ebay from the US, which works out so much cheaper than buying it here.

    :D I wish that happened to me when i wear it, i got mine off ebay too for about £9 and wouldn't wear anything else now, thats when i wear because half the time i can't be bothered putting any make up on :o

    Look forward to hearing how it went, did you go for the oily/combo one?
  • I use MAC Mineralize Satinfinish. It gives me light and even coverage that stays on all day and just looks very natural. I only use a little bit every day and a bottle lasts me about 6 months.

    Hi Vikki, I definitely don't think I was as shiny compared to when I use Lancome foundation. I was pretty pleased with it. Will be using it again tomorrow. Yeah I went for the oily/combination one.

    Oh brilliant, really hope you continue to be pleased with it. Make sure you shake it lots before you use it each time to mix it around. Cool same one as me, I have it in shade Ivory.
