Can someone reccomend a good face wash & foundation.

I use a Prescriptives foundation that I bought from Mecca. Yes, it's high-end but worth it.

Good luck!

I second Sequoia's comment! They can color match ANY tone to perfection..(I've got quite fair skin and most times even the fairest colors won't match me.

However I have also found Estee Lauder Maximum Coverage is made to be a concealer but works beautifully as a foundation...real porcelain finish with just a TINY amount..i'm talking pinhead size dotted around will do (all around my eyes). around $50-ish.

as for cleansers, I'm taking notes here....but have found tea tree face mask (the body shop) great if I feel breakouts coming...

RR if your ever after a foundation just for the daytime something lightweight & makes your skin glow i use RIMMEL RECOVER illuminating Anti-Fatigue Foundation (i get the shade SAND and it's a more Summer kissed look like i prefer) ... Cost is about $18 (?)

I purchased one this Sunday at Priceline and they had an OFFER where you get with this foundation for **FREE** a Rimmel Renew & Lift Brightening Powder with minerals in the same shades as their foundations (it's RRP is $17.95) in the compact it has a mirror & application sponge which you can't see until you open it up

(I have sensitive skin and i've NEVER had a reaction !!)

... Also i use a Facial Scrub (in a blue tube) from ALDI for about $6, i use it about every 3 or 4 days when in the shower & my skin always feels super polished after

Believe me i have spend many years buying up on big brands ... even worked for a couple of well known companies without mentioning names (found stories behind some of the ingredients which are not always great & false advertising) ... Whether the products are expensive or low budget i use what works best for me at the time. RR as the years go by and your skin changes with age your skin will ' tell you ' when it needs a change of product

Laura Mercier- Foundation - It's very concentrated, you won't need to use a concealer.

I've found face washes much of a muchness, buy anything 100% natural or organic, SLS free. Lavera is a good brand.

CLINIQUE - i LOVE clinique , their 3 step system lasts aaaages and is sooo worth it , my skin doenst even need make up , just some gloss and mascara and im done

also i only use clinique and BENEFIT make up products , benefit have mineral make up and its awesome so flawless and doenst make my skin oiler than it alredy is , as i found cheaper makeup make my skin dry (esp the mouse/whipped type ones ) or the chemicals in them made my eyes hurt . its better to go with mineral , but the cheaper mineral make ups still would have some chemicals as fillers ...

okay for a face cleanse - it is definitely worth paying the money and purchasing a good one. i also think it is important to change cleanses as your skin gets use to it. i recently started using Thalgo and i love it...
i also highly recommend you try a mineral powder for your foundation. if you are not sure visit your beautician or local department store and ask for a sample. i guarantee you will not be disappointed. i have been using Inika Mineral Cosmetics | Online Shopping Cart * and there is no way i will go back to a heavy foundation. it is flawless...
