Quick Quick! Foundation/tinted moisturiser suggestions please!

I am going to buy some this morning, in an hour or so.

I want to spend no more than £20. I am quite a lazy make up wearer. I like like foundation, or good tinted moisturiser, not happy with the No7 I have, makes my face a bit yellow looking. Used to use Clinique barely makeup and if no suggestions will buy that again, but would like to consider other things if better stuff is around.

I have red hues to my face. Have freckles which are more blended these days, bags under the eyes, some spots/marks, but nothing major. My hair is dark naturally but is currently dark blonde/dark roots and darker eyebrows/green eyes (just to give you an idea of the time of complexion I have.

I am asking for a lot, I know (I want it to just do the lot!) I don't want heavy, and i want simple/quick to apply - i want fresher youthful faced rather than 'done up'.

To be worn with some mascara and some clear/sparkly lipgloss.

And, if you have any very natural blusher ideas, I might buy some of that too.

Urban Decay do a really nice tinted moisturiser. I use it in the summer when it's hot as it's very light but has good coverage. I think I paid about a tenner for it.

I find the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum to be pretty good; it's very light and doesn't seem to give the chalky effect some of the other liquid ones do. Again it's around a tenner.

oh that is great, i might be able to buy something else too then! I will take a look at both of those, thank you.

Rimmel Wake Me Up - great stuff, decent coverage but not heavy to wear, quite a natural finish, about £8

got a sample from bobby brown for one of their very light liquid foundations, seems nice.

Did not actually buy anything due to two children misbehaving and me stomping out of the shop in exasperation!

The woman recommended a primer type thing (although it actually goes over foundation) called something nano, nano something? or, something of that sound. and another one called, 'snot' something! i dont think it is, but it is what i remember!!!

so, as such, I am still happily taking suggestions and I will try to get some samples of more things Wink

I really like clarins tinted moisturiser.
The colours look really dark and orange but when you put them on it blends in nicely and last for ages.
I have pale-medium skin with reddy areas and wear no 4.

I'm wearing Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum foundation today and was told by a colleague that I look "glowing". Grin

Laura Mercier tinted foundation, SPF 25.

Mac, Ladyblush creme blush, pinky peach - a very dewy glow.
