    SarahSaver,

    You mentioned some L'oreal foundations. What do you think of True Match? I really loved it and it is affordable. What do you think?
    I had little luck finding a good mascara, so thanks to everyone contributing their experiences. I gather that Double Wear is worth a try?

    hi h007

    I meant True Match super-blendable. I found it ok for my skin. I got the apricot shade but this really depends on your own preference.

    I was in Gatwick last week and the YSL lady was doing makeovers, she did me with that new YSL foundation with the brush, and it is amazing!! I am converted from estee lauder, it makes your skin glow!!! and she showed me that (am I the only one who didn't know this?) if you put touche eclat on the upper lids as well as below the eyes, it just lights up your eye area - amazing - try it - I honestly could not believe it, I look so much brighter and healthier with the TE all the way around my eyes - above, below, sides.... it is the best make up tip I have ever had!!!!!!

    True match liquid foundation go for it very similar to clinique IMHO, but the mineral one feels too claggy.
    Mascara? Max factor - masterpiece, nice and clump free. i think I said before as long as you spend a bit on mascara and foundation the rest is not so important, and colours for lips and eyes tend to be a bit seasonal anyway.

    Just had my Estee Lauder Double Wear Light consultation and its absolutely brill! I have a few days of my colour to try and see how I get on using it at home but it feels nice on and covers really well.
