Ladies, after many years of disasterous sampling I have found the perfect foundation. I will admit i'm not blessed with the best skin in the world - open pores, quite uneven tone and I just wanted to share.
Instant Matte Foundation by Estee Lauder - its amazing, doesn't clog your pores and looks natural.
unfortunately it costs £20 for quite a small tube but it lasts for ages - you can ask for a free 5 day sample
and also booing by benefit for dark circlesk
sometimes it is better to pay a bit more
I wish someone had told me this and it would have saved me a lot of money in the long run
anyone else got any "miracle cures"

It lasts ages, and if you take back your empty plastic bits u get a free lipstick.

Six. Cool that it's for all. Thought it was lipstic containers only. And I don't use that.
Urgh, I don't like Maybelline.
Dior are the best for mascaras. Expensive, but give the best effect without cluttering.
I dont buy any makeup that requires me to remortgage my house first before i can buy it.
I dont think great lash mascara makes my eyelashes cluttered, Ive tried other ones that made them go clumpy and im sure if the great lash one clumped eyelashes together I wouldnt have recommended it.
hmm. i use the l'oreal one where you put the white layer on frist. do maybelline do one like that? and how much is it?
l'oreal is probably similar price actually.
My mum just gave me a No 7 Lash extending mascara that wasnt any good for her. Perfect timing - my clinique one just ran out. Its really good actually...:D
:yes:
i love this. only i use the waterproof version, cause i rub my eyes lots, and the non-waterproof one tends to smudge.
i'm not really into expensive make-up, cause the cheaper (well, mid-range) stuff looks just as good, i think. for something like foundation i would buy something a little pricier (but we're still only talking bourjois or l'oreal), but most of my make up is rimmel, superdrug own brand, or boots natural collection.
the things i'm currently loving:
sainsburys active naturals intensive eye cream - i get really dark circles under my eyes, and when i put this on overnight, they look much brighter in the morning.
kiss australia concealer - does the job fantastically. it's quite light to, so it won't do that mingy cakey effect.
boots botanics eye pencil - really unusual khaki colour with bits of bronze in that shouldn't look good, but really brings out blue eyes. also it's a nice consistency.
(Im sure theres probably a better one somewhere though if you want to spend £50 on spot coverup though - i dont)
Can't remember the colour.
Mac Foundation - Has SPF factor 15 in... £17.50 but well worth the money.
WSeven Eyeliner - Don't know price, but it's not cheap - Very very good though, good for smudging...
Mac Fibre Rich Lash Mascara - The brush looks like it's been chewed by a dog, but that creates a dramatic eye opening effect - I'd def recommend it..

Too right. Most of my make up is Rimmel or even, dare I say it, Collection 2000! Although their lipsticks are shit. Thankfully I have good skin and more years of practise at applying the stuff than I care to think about. :eek:
