I have the Napolean stick too, but I only wear it when I want a heavier coverage. Can I recommend the Luminizer Palette too, it is a compact with about 5 or 6 diferent shades in it. You can use it for blush, eyeshadow, hightlighter and lipstick. I got mine in Feb 2006, I use it every day and I still have plenty left. I know I should buy more but hey, it still has heaps.
I am currently using the L'oreal Infallible foundation, It provides a great coverage and it last's all day, which is what I love.
MiEssence have a new range of foundations... going to give them another try... love that they have sample sachets so that you can try before you buy a whole bottle.
I would love to wear napoleon but cant afford it. I remember getting my little sister a napoleon foundation brush and it cost $70!!!!!! (no foundation just the brush!!!!!)
I love Revlon colourstay but have jsut found the covergirl trueblend mousse type foundation. Very light and feels so nice on my skin.
I do wear a powder over the top to seal my makeup and that is a mineral powder by Physicians formula.
I also wear a lighter shade of foundation in Winter as the rest of my skin is paler thatn I do in Summer when I have a bit of a tan (even if it is from a bottle!!!)
Yep, I have at least 2 shades of the same brand (Clinique) on the go at any one time... one for summer, one for winter. I also wear paler foundation at night... for some reason it looks better.

Chanel Mat Lumiere and Diorskin Extreme Fit. Expensive (I usually buy off eBay or scout around online to find the best deals, we don't have a Myer/DJ's or individual stores here), but seriously worth every. red. cent.
I find it really hard to track down a foundation that has good coverage without becoming cakey (I have a big scar on my cheek that I'm self-conscious of, and my skin-tone is quite uneven), and my skin is that odd *white* tone that most foundations are far too orange or pink for. Dior has an amazing range of shades for Cullen-esques like me so I figure it's well worth spending the extra cash to get something that looks really, really good rather than saving a few bucks and getting something pretty average.
I'm a SAHM so I don't get to crack them out very often, for day-to-day wear I use L'Oreal Infallible (mixed with an Avon foundation to stop the cakeyness, especially during summer, and get the colour just perfect) and finish with L'Oreal True Match powder (which I also use with the more expensive foundations, it's really nice).
everytime i find a foundation i love, they discontinue it!! grr
first it was a covergirl compact in ivory, they changed the formula so now its all oily.
then it was rimmel stay matte and say matte powder both ivory and then they changed the formula and its oilyier.
now im using revlon colorstay liquid in ivory, i hate having to put powder on but this one goes on so nice, high coverage so i dont need powder, and not oily! its sooo hard to find foundation light enough, so many brands ive tried eg maybelline, rimmel all say ivory as the lightest but its still to dark/orange for me. i use the revlon everyday so a bottle that costs $30 onl lasts 3-4 weeks but its sooo nice! for awhile ice accessories had them on special for $20 a bottle (old packaging) and i mustve bought them out!
