Best medium/full coverage foundation

7 replies

I’m 50 and looking for recommendations for a medium/full coverage foundation which helps cover large pores please. Normal/combo skin, have a few fine lines around eyes and some redness sometimes but otherwise good skin.

Up to £20 preferably.

I see No 7 Hydro Luminous recommended on here but the online reviews are fairly poor.

I think maybelline skin tint is good but the best by far is Dior Forever foundation which has a gorgeous finish, looks lovely, is buildable so can be medium to full coverage, and you don’t need a lot so it lasts for ages. It is around £38 though.

Estee Lauder Double Wear works well on my combo skin but is around £30 from Boots. I use it with a little bit of mattifying primer which helps with the pores, either NYX or MAC.

Estée Lauder Double Wear, bit more pricey but worth it!

Revlon Colorstay is my favourite and cheap 🙂

If you can stretch a little more, Estée Lauder Double Wear. It lasts 12hrs on me and doesn’t budge. I don’t find it cakey or heavy and I always get compliments on it. I’ve worn it for years now.

I have No 7 Radiance + brightening foundation,good coverage and buildable. My skin but better!Was colour matched by no 7 lady. I use with Pro Artist base perfecting primer ,lasts all day. More casual days I often just use the primer with loose powder

Thanks all for the recommendations. I see that Ester Lauder Double Wear is usually recommended by according to PETA they are still testing on animals which I find unacceptable, so I’ll have a look at the other options.
