I have combination/oily skin for which I have been using Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish, toner stuff and her light moisturiser.

However, I find foundation sits really heavily on my face, so I invested in some Liz Earle tinted stuff (can't remember the name off hand) thinking it would be ok but actually it is heavier than foundation, makes my face feel sticky yet slimy and has brought me out in spots. So any recommendations on what I could use instead? As I've spent £££ on this LE stuff, I can't really afford to go too mad this time, especially if it's not going to work.

I hated the LE one, it was so thick and greasy and I have dry skin.

I have faffed around with all sorts of light foundations, but always come back to this which is lovely. I also like Bare Minerals too.

The new L'Oreal BB Cream has a really nice texture and is light. Looks odd initially- White cream with teeny beads. These beads dissolve as you rub in, this is what gives it the colour.

I love the clinique moisture surge tinted moisturiser - it's on of the few things I've actually finished the bottle of.

I found the Liz Earle one fab, but also like Benefit,Clarins and Estee Lauder. I particularly like the Benefit and Estee Lauder as they are one shade suits all.

The Nivea one is brilliant,and inexpensive too! - not sure if still on offer in Sainsbo's,but was down to £2.60 ish.

Boots No.7 tinted moisturiser - lovely and light. Although doesn't last all day - I usually reapply if I'm going out later.

Laura Mercier is one of my favourites. Bobbi Brown also very good - as are Chantecaille and By Terry, both at Space N K and both pricy.

Not surprised about the L E one - I personally think all her stuff is cleverly promoted but vastly over-rated .

I'm another recommendation for the Clinique Moisture Surge tinted moisurer. It is really nice, light and gives a healthy glow.

I have also used the Laura Mercier one, which I found okay but could take or leave it.
