Full coverage foundation recommendations?

My skin is pitted and scarred, with broken capillaries around my nose, skin tags, freckles and always the odd spot or three. At the age of 47 my skin also looks older than my years with wrinkles (especially around my mouth and eyes) and dark circles under my eyes.

That's what I'm working with so any recommendations how do I cover it would be gratefully received. With make-up I mean, not a paper bag.

Currently I use two Boots foundations I mix together- their full coverage but mixed with a medium coverage so it's easier to apply. I also use a generous volume of concealer and compact powder.

I think I'm one of the few people who is delighted to be wearing a mask. Grin

Hi OP, I have rosacea. For those times I really want to erase it all I use Estee Lauder camouflage, comes in a dark blue tube. It's serious coverage, more like stage make up apparently, and it goes on more easily than their double wear, which is also quite good but less coverage. I only apply a little all over and then focus more on trouble spots.

It cosmetics do a range which certainly covers redness so may well cover everything else. If you buy it from QVC you can rturn it if you don't like it!

Estee Lauder Double Wear or IT Cosmetics CC cream.
