Need to downshift foundation, any recommendations?

I love ELDW too but I've also found that the 3 in 1 Max Factor Foundation was really good for me. I bought it in Barcelona when I forgot my DW and it coped well with my oily skin in the heat.

I also found the Avon Cashmere Foundation really good if you can get it on offer.

Thanks everyone who has commented. I've been wearing the Revlon colour stay for a week now and I'm thrilled with it.

Good points - it lasts all day which I wasn't expecting at this price (although I do use a primer). Good coverage, blends easily, not gunky looking over large pores.

Not so good - if you want eldw level coverage you need to use a little bit more, I was doing 2 very thin layers of eldw, this needs 3 very thin layers for the same look.Same goes for uneven skin or scarring, I think this foundation is a bit thinner consistency wise.

I've definitely found my new foundation and won't be going back to eldw even if I could afford to!

This week I've had very little sleep which always affects my skin, and it's also been pmt week so the poor Revlon had a tough challenge, but did it nicely.

Thanks for all your help :-)

Thanks for reporting back shell_girl, glad to hear Colorstay suited you. That's a few quid saved each time you buy foundation. Well a few quid you can fritter away on other cosmetics instead
