When Q used to stock it, way back when, I loved using Philosophy Supernatural Tinted SPF moisturiser, came in a small tube. Can't get it for love nor money these days and it was so light and gave a lovely finish.

Nowadays I'm using, because it came as part of a package, Gatineau's Perfection Ultime. Again light and easy to use and I like the SPF factor it provides in summer. I've just ordered another set as I use all the products and the price for all is a very good deal. But it's good to hear other recommendations, as you're right Liv, it is a minefield!

Bare minerals here. Largely because I know what colours to buy and I can get it on my high street.

I can't be arsed with anything I can't get my mitts on easily and also I don't chop and change much so I will probably use it until they go bust.

Like the idea of Lily LoLo but I have no idea what colour to buy so I don't bother.

Do the powder foundations go everywhere? Both my girls gave up on Bare Minerals because of the fall out. And what about all that buffing? Is it a pain?
I've come across Laura Geller's baked offering a lot on the Beauty channel, perhaps that doesn't coat everything in dust?

I quite like the idea of a compact foundation like that Dior one & I didn't know Gatineau even made foundations.

Last time I went for an explore, I went to the Clinique counter. I forget what she slapped on but it felt thick and I said I'd wear it to lunch & if it was OK I'd return to the counter. It rubbed off on my scarf and changed colour.
I haven't used anything bar Ultrasun SPF30 since Becca stopped making their tinted moisturiser. Today I look white - a formaldehyde job.

Powder foundations are out for the older person ( notice I am being inclusive of any gender issues and am being ageist instead) because they apparently show your wrinkles up more. In the mid year Amazon sale ( not Black Pudding week) I got a set of the new brushes that are great for shortsighted people like me - the handle is set like a toothbrush handle. Mac introduced them but as they were very expensive I just had one Mac in an eyeshadow size so was delighted to see copycat versions at a reasonable price.

I suppose I would have to classify myself as an older person with wrinkles but I don't think the mineral powder foundation accentuates them - could be that I too am shortsighted though. As for the fallout, I hadn't noticed that was a problem and I have a white dressing table.

Lili Lolo - or Lilo Lil as I prefer to call it - do small trial sizes for £1.49, Tinks, but as I am paler than the palest thing imaginable I was fairly certain what shade to buy.

You don't have to decide what colour with Jerome Alexander's Magic Minerals - one colour suits all skin tones.

I have Lidl CC cream in the make up bag and I recently threw out No7 tinted moisturiser. My pores are getting so clogged with everything/anything that I am afraid to use foundation or TM. A few years ago I had Laura Mercier Illuminating moisturiser. Now that was brilliant but it's silly money and I could not stretch to buying it regularly. Powder is the enemy - I have previously bought Laura Geller B & B but it is chalky and has talc in it and I looked like Casper the friendly ghost.

It's a minefield - you are 100% right Liv.

I don't find BM messy nor is the buffing tedious but perhaps I'm just used to it.

I don't like the Laura Gellar one as much. For me the colour can be hit and miss and it's also quite a flat finish. Especially if the colour is a bit too dark.

Despite being in my 50s I have very few wrinkles ... I fear it may be down to the width of my backside lol ... so I'm quite happy with powder foundations.

I should try Lilo Lily, Nellie, but I've said that so often and have never done it. I think I'm allergic to change lol.

There's no way they come out anywhere vaguely like the same colour. And actually neither one of quite right for me. Attachment Deleted

Those Laura Geller pans of medium vary a lot @tinkerbelle . I had no idea they could be so different.

Who knew the colour of your veins told a tale. I'm definitely blue but it doesn't help me much LOL

If they appear blue, you probably have a cool undertone. If they appear green, you probably have a warm undertone. If they look teal (a mixture of blue and green) you probably have a neutral undertone.
