foundation

[alittlebitscary]

i have tinted moisturiser stuff (prescriptives for more regular, though never get round to every day) and clarins for bestest. How long can i expect a tube to last me?

was a makeup virgin til july, so need all the help i can get.

plus - tell me all about this benefit stuff i keep reading about.

ta

won't you need foundation in the winter?

have never bought tinted moisturiser myself - don't bother with anything except concealer on the worst bits during the summer, so am prob not the best person to advise...

what's that about Benefit?

alittlebitscary, Benefit makeup is lovely, although not sure if its a particular product by them you are wanting to know about. If you're not using foundation everyday then it will last quite a while, especially if it's a more expensive brand like Clarins.

you can also mix your foundation w/a moisturiser. this isn't especially good w/some, cheap moisturisers, but i've found it works well w/Oil of Olay Total Effects Day.

i don't use benefit foundation, but i do use laura mercier. i just find her shades suit my yellow undertones much better, and it's oil-free but still offers great coverage.

i use foundation daily and usually go through a bottle and a half a year.
