what foundation?

[ThatVikRinA22]

currently using YSL perfect touch....

skin is oily, like medium coverage that stays put all day...

any recommendations better than the one im using?

am just about to run out so like to know if im missing out on anything! ta!

Bobbi Brown do a brilliantOil free compact - tis v long lasting and super quick to apply. They also did another oil free liquid foundation that's very good.

Would also recommend Laura Mercier oil free tinted foundation - it gives a very even medium coverage and again lasts all day on me.

bobbi brown gets rave reviews on here....might give it a go.

used to use a virgin V compact foundation that i loved....easy and quick to apply. might well give the bobbi brown one a go then.

does it need a primer underneath? i got a primer from elizabeth arden....and smashed it after a day!

no need for a primer imo with the compact - their foundation is very good.

I use Estee Lauder Doublewear which can be heavy but I apply with a sponge and it is much nicer finish. Its the only foundation that stays on my face all day long and Ive tried every brand (cheap and expensive).

If you find it a bit heavy you can mix it with a little bit of primer or highlighter and it goes on a bit more "sheer" but still with great staying power.

The sales consultant at the Dior counter once told me all the girls in the cosmetic dept use Doublewear as it stays put all day. I know you wont want to look like one of them but if you apply with a light hand its magic stuff.

I tried a MAC minerals one at the weekend & really liked it.

Like you I have oily skin. I like something that stays put but doesn't look caked on. The lady I went to applied it a foundation brush - I will definitely be investing in both in the new year.

Another vote for estee lauder double wear. I have greasy skin and have tried loads - cheap and expensive and settled with this one.

I use Benefits foundation stick in "spin the bottle", which I mix with their Dear John cream and That Gal primer. Bit of a faff, but goes on nicely and keeps my skin feeling smooth / blends well in my skin.

Another vote here for estee lauder double wear and double wear light - applied with a brush or sponge you can have a lighter finish.

For staying power Double Wear with a brush. I've also got a nice EL mineral-type foundation but it doesn't stay quite as well. Excellent over Laura Mercier primer though.
