I use a BB one by Two Faced which I think they sell in Boots in the UK. It's light coverage so you look more natural and it doesn't clog.

I use Mischa, ChoBoYang. The lightest (1) is quite pinky so I mix it with Art Deco No5 (another great foundation for older skin). The Mischa was designed for people who were post op (laser re-surfacing) and has all sorts of wonderful properties (healing and so on). The finish is moist and dewy with great coverage and it lasts all day. It's a BB cream so you can use it without moisturiser or primer. When I have a tan I use the No 2. I would second the Bourgeois Healthy Mix too but I find that it doesn't last as long as the Mischa and the coverage isn't as good (so perhaps a good day foundation). Apart from that, I'd say it's more a case of how you prepare your skin (regular facials and peels, exfoliation, plus the right moisturiser and primer which all help the foundation go on beautifully and last a decent amount of time).
