    Not going out but pre-pandemic, liquid foundations from Clinique and Clarins, applied with foundation brushes.

    Hello,

    I use Garnier BB Cream Original Light Tinted Moisturiser, 50ml. 

    It gives me good cover and it really is light. And also, not too expensive. £9.99 for the 50ml size.  

    There are different colours and formulations for different skin types. But I'm really happy with it.

    They don't test on animals, either.

    As my skin is on the dry side, I use  No7 HydraLuminous foundation. Often available on 3 for 2 as well, makes it excellent value.

    La Roche Posay mineral powder foundation - only online/EU chemists but offers buildable coverage, lasts well and doesn't give me spots!
    Have used there  LRP moisturizers for several years - great for sensitive skin....now owned by L'Oreal.
    Foundation wise I use Double Wear Estee Lauder and have for over 20 years used others and always return....do like the Double Wear light too.   But am not wasting money on foundation when out shopping....just slap on moisturizers and the new girls best friend - the face mask :)
    P.S  Boots have 20% of Estee foundation today.....hope am allow to say!!!

    I thought to try it, but as far as I can remember there is a small color range of products, right? I thought about this cream in warm weather when I wanted lightness.
    now it will soon be possible to ask who use what in winter?))

    In general, here I came to the conclusion that many people like Double Wear Estee Lauder - it means that you should try it yourself, because until you try it yourself, you won't form an opinion. to each his own.
    Thank you all!

    mask effects i definitely don't want i want something smooth, but that looks more or less natural. can use it in the same way mixed with a regular cream?
    can you advise something about it?
