    I went on a new foundation hunt last Friday night and after a few places I ended up at Napolean and was all set to buy Napoleon Light Diffusing and camera finish but when I was ready to seperate from my money they had none in stock sooooooo I will get it next time. Ended up with Lancome "colour ideal" very happy with it but will get Napoleon next time...lol just looked where you are from Danielle they must love that combo

    LOL.... anyone with pigmentation should try the new Clinque "even better" foundation. I have the worst pigmentation going on from my last pg and it looks amazing. I even have a scar from a skin cancer I had removed on my cheek and it covers that without the slathered on look. Cost me $48 for a tube and I don't really use much each time, even though I do apply it with a brush.

    I recently bought a mineral foundation from Inika Mineral Cosmetics. I love Inika because they don't test on animals or contain toxic nasties. Also, I am quite fair, and their range is suitable for very fair to very dark skin tones.

    I just don't remember to wear it!

    I'll be looking into that new Clinique foundation Nic! Interesting that you say it comes in a tube. I often get frustrated with their bottles... you can't get that last little bit out! Before I used Clinique I used to use foundations that came in tubes and was able to snip it open at the end and get a few more "wears" out of it. I don't use very much each time. I assume "Even Better" comes in fair colours? I wear the Just Neutral in their Dewy Smooth range ATM witch is quite fair.

    I have been wearing the Mabeline Liquid Mineral foundation lately but this morning I decided to use my Avon Mineral powder and I got a really big compliment on how my make up was done today. I find my mineral powder is quite light so I put enough blush on my cheeks and T-Zone to add some natural looking colour without looking over done.

    Loreal true match for me; i like it but im still trying to find a foundation i LOVE. I have freckles that i just hate and want to find a foundation to cover them without looking like i used a spatula to apply my make up hehe

    Geez, i've tried that many & still can't quite find that perfect one ... Don't like 'em too thick & heavy or that pick up & make your lil facial hairs more obvious ... don't like 'em so thin they don't cover what i want covered ...

    I like coverage BUT where my skin still feels like it's breathing

    I tried a couple of mineral ones BUT they aint great for older woman as they emphasis even the tinest wrinkles on side temples, etc ...

    Have tried REVLON Colourstay Active, is labellled Light Makeup BUT feels so darn heavy

    ***** The one i've been using for sometime which i don't mind but not too crazy about the bit of glitter effect (illuminating) in it is RIMMEL RECOVER in tube

    ... BATH, me too only like the foundations in a tube, also i think more hygienic then dipping fingers into a bottle

    I don't like liquid foundations so I use Maybelline Mineral Powder thingy when I can be bothered which is not very often.
