a good foundation for 'on the go'..?

[cheeseychips]

hi all
I am wondering if anyone can recommend a foundation for everyday use, that is really quick and easy to apply? I already have a nice, expensive liquid foundation for special occasions, but for everyday use and for work I just want something cheap and quick. The kind of thing I've been looking at are the pan stick ones which you draw on and blend with your fingers. I just don't know how good these really are? I feel just using a powder wouldn't provide enough coverage. Any ideas people?

I use Rimmel Match Perfection. I apply it with a big brush and it takes no more than a minute and it smells lovely! Also builds well so you could spend a bit longer and get a heavier coverage. The brush makes all the difference, I'm using a round flattish one a bit like a buffing brush and it speeds things up, then I go back pver problem areas

ooh thanks, I'll have a look at that. Was kind of hoping to get one of wouldn't need to use a brush for...perhaps that's too lazy though!!

Bourgeois new cc cream is great. I often apply with fingers.

Whiter beat me to it.

I'm a high end foundation junkie and for the past week have been using the Bourjois 123 Perfect CC cream. It's bloody fantastic. So natural and light and the perfect amount of coverage for Summer. Couldn't recommend it enough.

My everyday foundation is Bourjois Healthy Mix serum. I use fingers and it takes under a minute and blends easily. Even on 'no makeup' days I put it on and finish with a sweep of Benefit 'Dandelion' blusher and I look halfway human. I have YSL Touché Éclat and a brush and a full array of products when I want to do my face properly, but I love the Bourjois one for a quick face evener.

BB cream, I have the maybe line one at the moment and it's perfect for summer.

The maybelline stick foundations are good and have an anti shine formulation through them if you are worried about that but I would say the best best is invest in a kabuki brush or buffing brush (check out Eco tools or real techniques) then you can make most foundations a breeze to apply another good one is the reckon colour stay. Good luck x

No 7 stay perfect superlight, can blend it really quickly with your fingers but it stays put all day. Love it!

Bobbi Brown foundation stick is very portable and can be blended with fingers or brush.
