    Are from the UK?

    I use BB cream which has foundation in it it's a great light cream which evens skin tone, redness, blemishes etc. It's great. I tend to use that in the day time. If I go out I wear boots brand of No.7 foundation a lovely light foundation again and really evens my skin out nicely :smile:

    P.S. i'm wearing the No.7 in my profile pic.

    I have combination skin so its oily in some places and dry in others. I don't tend to wear make-up every day but when i do I LOVE mineral make-up!!!! Its easy and quick to apply, doesn't feel heavy or clog up my skin like liquid foundations do. I also feel that even just a small amount covers much better than liquid foundation and therefore it lasts longer.

    I've heard really good things about Makeup Forever's products, in particular their HD Microfinish powder. Look on youtube, there's an extensive beauty community with all kinds of reviews and recommendations. :)

    I would strongly reccomend using a decent primer under your foundation and then setting it on top with a transclucent face powder.

    Maybelline Superstay 24 Hour or Revlon Colorstay are the only two that won't budge on my face, as far as drugstore foundations, and I have very oily skin. If the coverage is a little too heavy, because they are more more of a medium coverage, you can apply them with a damp sponge.

    100% agree :)

    Laura Mercier
    ALL of her products are great. A bit more expensive than drugstore products, but you're getting what you're paying for, plus it lasts forever! You can purchase her line at Sephora or LauraMercier.com

    Another vote for BB cream here, I use Garnier though nearly every make-up range has one now. For special occasions, Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser is possibly the best in the biz, as is the Bare Minerals powder that's got a lot of support here.

    I have pretty pale skin under my tan, and I prefer to use MAC studio sculpt but it's quite thick! If I was blessed with your skin toneI'd use an oily skin cleansing product to banish that oil and use a tinted moisturiser!

    Helen E Cosmetics Photo Finish. It's oil free and stays put. It's about £20 but at the moment, because it's not very well known, they'r promoting it with £10 goodie bags in certain Debenhams stores. You get the foundation, glitter eyeshadow, eyeshadow brush and lip gloss, all worth about £50. There's only one shade in the foundation but it works to match your skintone. I didn't believe this at first but to demonstrate they paired me with an Asian lady and put the same on us both and it did work xx

    MAC prep and prime and then MAC studio fix fluid - comes in lots of olive shades.

    If you've tried these and are not a fan, i'd try Lancome Teinte Idole - is a bit pricey but stays on forever and gives a nice matte effect.

    if you need to use a powder i'd reccomend a light dusting of loose powder as pressed powder can look a bit cakey

    :)
