Can someone give me a recommendation for make up and skin care for my skin type?

I have fairly normal skin tbh, I do get some spots sometimes, but my skin is not really dry or greasy, it's just normal. I have quite pale skin I suppose, and I would not suit any kind of darker foundation.

I generally use any old make up remover wipes, a Simple moisturiser and very little in the way of foundation. I do use Touche Eclat though, which is fab! The only other things I use are mascara, eyeliner and some kind of lip stuff (generally cocoa butter, as I have found that to prevent cracked lips v well!).

I am looking for something middle of the road in terms of price. I don't want to spend £50 on a pot of something, but I am not looking at cheap as possible either.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! TIA.

I have very pale skin too and have recently been using L'Oreal Miracle Touch FOundation. It is amazing. Really light and velvety going on, but gives good coverage. Great range of shades too- I use Vanilla Rose. I use L'Oreal Face wash and moisturiser, the Triple effect stuff. It is not expensive but seems to work for me. As far as mascara goes, I just choose what is on special offer and waterproof! No7 from Boots do a nice loose powder foundation as well. Hope that helps! xxx

My fave cleanser is Clean Slate (Mama Mio) www.mamamio.com/uk/face/clean-slate.html/ :) I like the fact it's rinse-off but not drying, perfect for my normal skin. Love their Might Moisture too x

Have a look at Suki skincare - all natural range reportedly used by Eva Longoria. It's got a really nice range for all types of skin.
