    I love the Maybelline satin dream finish, makes your skin feel so soft and lasts for ages. I bought the new Rimmel 25hr one ( although I dont wear it that long!) and it has a primmer in the foundation, gives brilliant coverage and I got it on offer too.

    eh, Chanel, NARS and MUFE are my favs. I dunno, the cheap ones usually cause my to break out and just dont have that glam factor...lol

    I have No7 and Clarins but I have noticed since this nice weather that the No7 makes my skin look awful, whereas the Clarins is perfect.

    I also discovered primer recently and that makes a huge difference to how the foundation looks. Lol, another expensive addition to my makeup bag. I only use it for special occassions though.

    I've tried almost every brand under the sun, and have stuck with Estee Lauder Doublewear now for about a year, my only gripe is it was £23.50 a year ago it's now £25.50.

    I do quite like Maybelline Dream Satin Finish but it just doesn't have the staying power for a 9 hour shift at work.

    I do quite like Mac too but it's more difficult to buy as only one shop where I live stocks it, whereas I can go to pretty any Boots and get EL :)
    The frontier is never somewhere else. And no stockades can keep the midnight out.
  • I bought EL DW last year as a treat for my birthday and i wear it everyday now, i applied my makeup this morning and despite sunbathing for a bit this avo and relaxing with a hot bath earlier my face still looks pretty flawless!!! Im totally converted now, and even using it everyday recently i still have LOADS left. will definately be buying again when i run out.

    I have tried soooooo many different foundations and while i like maybelline dream matte mousse, i didnt find it lasted like double wear. I love virgin vie perfect balance but they discontinued it and it sells for an absolute fortune on ebay when it comes up so am better off going to buy double wear even with the price hike!!

    Hi, which No7 foundation do you use? I like No7 but they have such a large selection of foundations I never know which one is best. I have heard good things about their new tinted moisturiser, have you tried that?


    Sorry not looked at the thread for a while and miised your question, I use the light Mousse will look at the packaging late and edit for exact name, it's quite like a tinted moisturiser which I haven't tried from No 7 but I have used the Nivea one on holiday. I hate clogging up my face with heavy make up and if I can get away with none I do!;)


    It's Intelligent Colour I use!

    I swear by this foundation. I know its quite expensive, but a little goes such a long way. When I wear makeup everyday, I find it lasts around 6 months. :T

    I use lancome, you just can't get a decent colour for pale people in the budget ranges.
