Just that really, I need a new one and am interested in what everyone else uses

Skin is sensitive and dry, I use Clinique Redness Solutions as it’s yellow based and foundation looks odd on me if it’s too beige.
It’s really easy to add coverage if I need to top up during the day (it lasts a whole day at work though), never goes cakey and doesn’t give me any break outs.

I have dry skin. I use Dior forever glow 2n. It's medium coverage and lasts all day.

I have normal skin but with a tendency to being sensitive and a past issue with rosacea (now well under control with Azelaic acid on prescription).

For years now I’ve used Boots No7 Stay Perfect compact foundation because it gives good medium coverage, I’m lazy and it’s dead easy to put on, and the colour cool ivory is perfect for my deathly pale Celtic skin. And it doesn’t irritate me and stays put all day.

Normal, used to be combination but age has made it less oily. I use Nars tinted moisturiser for day and their Sheer Glow foundation for occasions.

Dry, sensitive. Also very pale though with some redness so need a combination of good coverage and a light foundation that doesn't look obvious. Clarins skin illusion works really well for that. Also use their sos primer underneath and it lasts a full 14 hour shift.

Sorry to jump in but I though the N07 compact foundation had been discontinued?

I don’t know if it was discontinued but it was certainly hard to get hold of for a while. It came back last year though. There’s a limited range of colours but luckily one of them works for me:

I use Revlon Photo Ready foundation, it lasts well and has good coverage, although I really want to try Charlotte Tilbury's beautiful skin foundation..

Pretty dry and bordering on dehydrated.

I use Armani Luminous Silk when I want more coverage, and rotate between Glossier Perfecting Skin Tint & Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter for work days.
