    Any time ladies, do hope you find something you love that works well for you.

    ah thank you I was trying to think of the brand that I got talked into buying at Myer and spent heaps of $$$$ and was awful.....Laura Mercier. Sorry just didn't like it and the price, way too much.
    Bummer Erin. Pushy counter staff are the worst, and I hate spending a ton of money when it doesn't work out did you take them back??

    I'm a big sweater (not in the jumper sense lol!), but I find liquid foundation by body shop to be great, then I use powder on top to set it. They did my wedding make up 5 & 1/2 years ago and I haven't worn another brand since.

    I sweat like a bloke, and live in Central QLD, so I know all about heat and humidity ruining your carefully applied face! I personally found Revlon to be a bit too chalky on my face (I always got the maskline around the jaw/neck no matter how carefully I blended) so I don't use it at all
    Mousse foundations, I have found, are terrible - have tried a few different brands and they just melt right off my face within minutes - I don't have oily skin, either!

    My advice for the perfect warm-weather foundation on a budget, is Maybelline SuperStay (yes, I have raved about it a million times over but I seriously love it!) I use an Olay SPF15+ daily moisturiser when I get out of the shower to prime, then apply the foundation with my fingers or a sponge and finish with a light dusting of translucent powder to set it. It seriously stays on all day, doesn't melt or rub off and doesn't give me zits, which I love I can apply it at 6pm when getting ready to go out for a big night, party on until the wee hours, pass out on the couch with a full face on and wake up still looking flawless apart from the panda eyes... it's great stuff, and really cheap, too!
    Good luck choosing the right foundation for you!

    ooooh! More info! And 'cos I'm using my phone for all my browsing, it's so hard to read everything and reply properly, so I am sorry if my replies don't do your detailed responses justice. So much info, I'm going to have to write it all down before I go to the shops! We have a Priceline in town and two chemists I guess if Priceline don't have a brand. And shop assistants; prepare to be annoyed! Lol
