    My skin doesn't get on with Max Factor, which is a shame as my mum has loads of it she never uses :D

    Usually I'm a Rimmel or very rarely Urban Decay kinda girl.

    I've yet to find a Rimmel foundation that has any coverage and isn't too watery.

    What about a No7? Theres one called Beautifully Matte that has great coverage and its £12.50 so not too pricey.

    Revlon Colour stay, the one for oily skin is very very similar to Estee Lauder Double Wear or MAC studio fix.

    I use the Boots Natural Collection tinted moisturiser for day wear, £1.99 - bargain!

    Going to stick with the Leichner for evening wear (paid £3.99 for it) so will probably seek a replacement/alternative when it gets a bit low.

    I tried Max Factor Pan Stik from ASDA and thick or what and very limited range of colours.

    Anyone remember Constance Carroll makeup? We used to use it for dancing as there were loads of bright eyeshadow colours and superbly orange foundation, and you had to pretty much use a Brillo pad to get it off :D

    I do! They used to sell it at my local Keith's (discount knick knack shop). I had their blue eyeshadow palette which I thought was so cool when I was 12 and silvery blue eyeshadow with thick black lined eyes was the 'in-thing'.
  • Haha we used to buy it at our local market :) that stallholder loved our dance school!

  • heartbreakstar - if its only for nights out what about the estee lauder double wear? it is expensive, but unless you are going out 7 nights per week it would do you a really long time. It literally doesn't budge, very full coverage, definitely a "night time" foundation for me.

    I go to the counter every 2/3 months for a sample, the samples last me about 5 "full faces". So you could try it for free before you splash out. HTH

    Might have a look when the Leichner runs out if I can't get more :)
