I've found thisgood.

It has SPF 15,lasts well and gives good coverage even on my spot-prone, scarred skin.

And it's soooo cheap.

Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser, it isn't matt anyway, so i'm going with the shiny
A pot of cheap stuff from Boots that I foundn in the bottom of my make-up drawer. It's 17 I think, and is a mousse base which turns to powder. I look mega shiny dreadful in the heat anyway, so am not sure if it's helping at all. I did have some Estee Lauder double wear last year, and it slid less than some I've tried. As I am a yokel and don't live near any big cities and am on a petrol economy walking/fitness drive though, I've not been able to replace it. The local Boots (no big brands stocked) is my limit at the moment.

That reminds me, I must check whether that protect and perfect stuff is any good, as my wonder product Clarins serum has run out.

Another vote for Benefit Some Kinda Gorgeous, with the addition of some Dr Feelgood for super-shiny spots

Estee Lauder's tinted moisturiser

I'm using a sponge to mix my usual foundation and a little tinted moisturiser. I'm finding it evens up my skin tone but with a bit more natural colour than usual.

I've given up on eyeshadow, just eyeliner and lots of mascara for me at the moment

another vote here for the benefit some kinda gorgeous .... love it ....
Despite the blotchiness and inevitable shine I just can't wear anything in this heat. I normally wear BareID Mineral foundation which has great staying power but even that slides off in these sort of temperatures.
