Cheap-ish foundation recommendations please?

I'm 29, I have very pale skin. I like Lancôme Teint Miracle usually but sadly can no longer afford it as I've just had my second baby and won't be returning to work for a while. I prefer liquid foundations. I've tried a Max Factor one which was too heavy for me and wasn't a good colour match. I have a Bourjois one (can't recall the name) which is better but if anyone has other recommendations they'd be gratefully received. £10ish please.

I have very pale skin and the only one ive ever really liked that gives good coverage (as much or as little as you want) and is lightweight is Avon cream to powder foundation. There is a good selection of shades to suit pale skin and looks lovely on your skin and easy to apply/blend. Its usually £12.00 in the brochures but ifyou go on ebay there are alot of people selling them new for £6.00 or thereabouts.

I have pale/English rose complexion and I use the new maybeline one. Dream nude I think it's called. It's natural and easy to apply

the Max Fac one in the dippy pot was lovely, cream something, I really rate both that one and Maybelline dream matte mousse.

The Bourjouis healthy serum one (also can't remember the name!) is great and often on 3 for 2 in Boots

I'm very pale and have recently bought bourjouis cc cream in shade 31. Not too heavy and doesn't make me look orange!

Rimmel Match Perfection or Wake Me Up - both last well and give good medium coverage, priced under a tenner

I keep hearing good things about Revlon Colorstay foundation and is apparently a good dupe for MAC Studio Fix Foundation. I think it's around £12
