In your opinion the best foundation is....

[AmIGoingMad]

I've worn Double wear light with mac mineralize skinfinish for a while now. I love that its got great coverage and lasts but I feel a bit full in it at the moment.

Any recommendations?

[AmIGoingMad]

Thanks for all of these suggestions! My phone wasn't working yesterday so I'm only now seeing them. Not sure where to start really!

Another vote for Clark's Firming Foundation!

[OrlaNuttin]

No 7 Intelligent Colour here as well.

I can't bear feeling claggy, and this is so light, but gives enough coverage (over scars, spots, thread veins etc) that people don't run away screaming in the street!

Was on Doublewear Light. Changed last week to a Clarins Comfort one. That with the beauty balm underneath - well I am just glowing and dewy !

I have very very very dry skin. It cannot get enough water.

That's harsh, Betsy!

What's the story with the Bumble and Bumble?

[Lazysuzanne]

I like bobbi brown bb cream, and laura mercier

Bare minerals. Add a little bare minerals warmth and you are good to go.

Yay to the YSL one. Dewy is the word!

Max factor CC cream. Brilliant stuff. Have been converted from my usual Dior.

It often depends what condition my skin is in which usually depends on degree of coldness/heat/sun exposure. Of course what works during the height of summer is too dry for winter and that's before I even get to the dazzling range of colours needed over the course of 12 months.

But right now from my collection the one which is working for me is Shiseido -looks incredible with the remnants of a little sun-kissing and has enough moisture to deal with blustery autumn days.

Once my skin has lost enough colour I'll be back on aqualumiere (love Chanel foundations).

Have just started using Bobbi Brown moisturising treatment foundation: not heavy coverage, but fantastically comforting, even after wearing all day (after 14 hours wear my skin feel freshly moisturised - amazing). Be careful with colours though and take your time with a decision - I ended up with a much lighter tone as colours that originally looked a good match 'twisted' into much darker shades after a couple of minutes.

Salli Hughes (the Guardian) recommends it, together with foundation from Clarins and YSL, here: www.theguardian.com/fashion/video/2013/sep/27/sali-hughes-beauty-tips-autumn-make-up-video

Rimmel stay matte ... similar to double wear!

[amothersplaceisinthewrong]

No 7 Stay Perfect

Lancôme Teint renergie lift.....

[Bexicles]

Revlon colorstay for evening and Chanel aqualumiere for during the day.

[Bunbaker]

Boots no 7 Intelligent Colour. It is the only foundation that I have liked. I look groomed, but not over made up. The coverage is lovely and light and it doesn't feel thick and claggy. I can see why it is their best selling foundation.

[Amrapaali]

LilyLolo Mineral Foundation. I got the perfect shade match there..

[SaucyJack]

Currently using Rimmel's 25 Hour stuff. I doubt it's the best foundation in existence, but it's cheap and I look significantly better after I've put some on, so it does me just fine.
