Foundation

I haven't been using foundation as I'm quite lucky and have pretty good skin. I'm not prone to spots at all, and usually my skin looks pretty good with a light powder on it. I'd quite like to try a foundation cos recently my skin has looked kinda tired- like the rest of me. Can anyone reccomend one?

    I invested in a lovely Armani Luminous Silk foundation. I don't wear it too often (so it probably doesn't justify the cost-per-wear) but it always makes my skin look a lot better when I'm tired.

    If you're not going to wear a foundation very often, a friend of mine mixes her cheap tinted moisturiser with a little highlighter and it works a treat.

    I have got quite good skin as well, and I have never used foundation because there isn't really any need to. I think I would just drink more water and maybe do a nice face mask or whatever to wake up the skin rather than using foundation.

    I use No7 Essential Moisture and I love it :D
    It took me absolutely ages to find one that I liked, and spent a fortune in the process, but I'll definately be sticking to that one in future.

    Is it a liquid or powder?

    I was looking at getting that one too! I love bourjois, I think their make-up is beautiful. Thinking about it, almost all the makeup I wear is bourjois.

    I wear Prescriptives Virtual Skin Super-Natural Finish foundation in Real Cream. I have amazing skin (very rarely gets spots) but there's nothing like a flawless alabaster complexion to finish off the look. I'd never wear makeup without creating a flawless base first - I think that's the number one rule.

    I don't see the point in putting eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara on, if the base around it isn't perfect.

    Where might one purchase this product? :)
