Foundation help!

I've used No7 beautifully Matte (full coverage) foundation for years. I love it and it really covers everything!
Today I went to boots to get my new supply and have been told it's been discontinued and only the light coverage is now available.
I'm annoyed and now in need of a full coverage alternative in a pale shade (No7 was calico!)

Can anyone point me in any direction before I cry!

@standingupfornonsense That website is fantastic! I put I couple of my makes and shades in and matched with other foundations I buy (i like to chop and change!) so thankyou x

It's fab isn't it. The more info you put in the more accurate it gets too!

Exactly the same shade as you. I use charlotte tilbury magic foundation in number 2 when I want fuller coverage. Also use that findation website and it matched me perfectly to my nars shade but that's not full coverage.

Put as many foundations as you can in as I think calico is a tricky one to match as if the foundation doesn't have enough pale variations it just gives you the lightest one without taking into account the pink/yellow undertones.

Revlon Colourstay in Buff (150) might be a decent alternative

Have you tried Estee Laurder double wear? They do some very fair shades. I’m pretty fair and Ecru suits me well.
