foundation

[babyshambles]

i'm 16, and im looking for a good, durable foundation to survive a day at college including walking to and from.  i have fairly oily skin, prone to a few spots especially on my nose and forehead, can anyone suggest a good one?  preferably below about �8 because im on a tight budget!

The thing with foundation is that everyone's skin is so different that what looks good one one person looks awful on another. i have the same skin problems as you butim also really pale so finding a suitable foundation is tough, and im afraid in my opinion no decent foundation can be bought for less than 10pounds.

Why not go to your local department store and ask for some free samples of brands like clinique/estee lauder etc... I usually then keep these for special occasions/nights out etc...

A foundation i find quite good fr day to day wear is Bourjois "en toute legerete" its oil free and got sun screen and looks natural too but i think its about 10-12 pounds...but well worth it.

I often use Rimmel products they are cheap but very good and their foundation is ok.   The best foundation I find is Estee Lauder but its very expensive, but lasts a long time.  What I do now is keep that for special occasions and for ordinary daywear instead of foundation  have changed to a tinted moisturiser (i.e. Nivea) and in the summer I add to it a drop of one of those instant tan things like Boots sunshimmer and it gives you a nice glow.  If you get tanned you can just add a bit more or less to alter the colour.    If you put it on with a damp cosmetic sponge it looks just as good as foundation.

I find max factor colour adapt is the best I have tried (not the sheer radiance stuff though).  It lasts through a night out (so long as you dont touch your face too much!)

 

It isabout �10 in shops but you can get it half this price on ebay

I may be able to go up to about �12 if it sounded good enough as I'll be getting quite a bit of money in the next week or so.

Maybelline Dream Matt Mousse is great and well worth trying

How about Neutrogena and Almay?  I saw them in Boots the other day, good price, oil free, spf, any good?
