foundation recommendation?

[puffling]

I've always used Versace foundation as I had my face done by a Versace make up artist once. It's lovely but way more expensive than Clinique and others. Which foundations do you recommend?
Also, nearly every foundation I try seems to be for yellow based skin. My skin is apparently blue based so I need a more pinky rather than yellowy foundation. Any ideas?

bare escentuals

Have a look at this range - I've had it recommended by friends. They've all got different skin tones/types but they all look great.

Aveda tinted moisturiser or foundation is great. Takes years off you.

really light, really fantastic, massive range of colour

tenner a pop

Chanel Chanel Chanel. Their liquid foundation is like no other, I'm addicted.

agree - chanel

i have er, 'challenging' skin (small patches of dry skin plus generally hormonal bumpy pg skin) - wouldn't normally expect to be able to wear foundation for fear of patchiness, but it's great

Yves saint laurent have a new foundation out now.Cant remember the name but you apply it with a brush and its by all accounts just like their Touche Eclat for the whole face!

Laura Mercier is fab, very natural looking and lasts ages

Thanks for all ideas.
I shall try one of them

Another vote for Chanel - this was heavily plugged by Cod a while back and I bought some - no regrets!

I'm quite fair (pink and white actually) and I use Estee Lauder Lucidity foundation. Have done for years. Most of the year the shade is Ivory Beige but on the rare occasion that I have a tan I go one shade darker.

Bobbi Brown. The foundations range from barely there to good coverage but all very light. Since I "discovered" BB I have saved so much by not buying 'whim' purchases of dodgy purples or orange lippies - they give you a complete breakdown for a beautiful natural look - even on days when I feel greyer than grey I still find the stuff perks me up. The ladies (and men ) on the counter don't push the products either and are happy for you to say you have similar stuff at home you can use. I can't recommend Bobbi Brown highly enough. Love it. (Ps I don't work for them - just too close to Selfridges for the good of my finances...)

Clarins Teint eclat Confort, is my fave, and a the last tube lasted me a year (£20). Its SPF 15. I have combi skin, and its not draggy, and you dont get any of it blovking the lines. iyswim!!

Chanel one especially if you ahve blue based skins, the prescriptives ones are good as well. Currently on a clinique which is ok bubt not as good as the others.

I've just splashed out on the new YSL foundation - Perfect Touch - as I like Touche Eclat a lot.

If you buy both together you get 500 boots points atm.

Another for Bobbi Brown. They do give very good advice and I'm yet to buy a product from them which I haven't used/loved.

I bought the yves st laurent touche eclat a couple of weeks ago and it is brilliant - was using chanel before but ysl much nicer. Go into a shop where they sell it and they will do your face so you can see what it looks like before you buy

Thanks for more excellent advice.

Having used Clinique for years i recently changed to Lancome - its gorgeous and I will definitely continue to use.

I wear Chanel and I am often told I have great skin at nearly 40. I am a magazine addict and often read great things about Armani foundation. I can;t get it in this small market town in the middle of nowhere but it might be worth tracking down.
