Cod recommended Chanels Vitalumiere to me the other day.
I have heard a few people rave about it on here before.

It's meant to make your skin look really dewy and fresh.
I had a look at it on Boots website. It comes in 3 different formats. Prices from £25-£28.

I am a big fan of teh Prescriptives range - they do what's called 'colour-printing' which basically works out your exact skin tone - I think they are spot on. Prices about £18 - £22 I think
Good luck.

I use Boots no7 Intelligent Colour, it goes on very easyily and doesn't streak, it's about £12.

I use Estee Lauder double wear - lots of people on here recommend it on the make up threads usually. It's about £21 I think but it's fab and lasts all day.

Might try Cod's suggestion next, just for a change.

try a tinted moisturiser maybe?

clinique perfectly balanced make up is also very good and not to heavy
