Going to john lewis. Need a good foundation for 40ish skin....

[honeybooboo123]

Which beauty brand counter do i go to? Budget flexible.

Laura Mercier. Love her stuff. I'm 38.

Agree Laura Mercier. Expensive but worth it.

Yep. Laura Mercier.

I love Lancome teint idole. Expensive but last approx 6 months.

I've been using Laura Mercier Candle Glow. Love it. I'm 57

Chanel vitalumiere!

I like Chanel Les Beiges.

Not sure if they sell it in JL, but Armani foundations are amazing.

Brilliant thanks!

What finish

Treck around all of the counters, collecting samples and then order online in a few weeks when you've decided. Foundations are like jeans, one woman's thigh reducing is another's camel toe.

I suggest Clarins.

I'm off to a funeral tomorrow and while I do have foundations littering my house, they are cheap brands and some of them are definitely the wrong colour.

I have freckles and lines and pale skin that tans. I tend to just wear eyeliner and mascara and after a light finish I suppose so I look better and 'done' but not too made up.

Christian Dior is the best foundation for pale skin. Their Skinflash highligher and cover up is brilliant too.

Chanel comes up yellowy even in the palest colours.

I'm pale, and really like the MAC face and body foundation which has a dewy, buildable coverage so you don't look over made up

Hourglass

well just went and bought LM primer, foundation, concealer, powder and an eye shadow stick.

don't recognize myself!

I think it depends on each person's skin colour. L Mercier doesn't suit me- the pale shade is too pink and the next shade up too dark in all their foundations. I prefer Dior.
