My trusty bargain foundation has been discontinued 😭

[morepickles]

Where to go from here?! Foundation lasts me a while - I normally do just a few dabs to cover darkness around my eyes and redness on my nose, cheeks and chin. Prone to dryness so most cheap foundations don't do it - they seem to go on thinly and then turn scaly, or look orange if done just in a few areas.

For absolute years I've used a Boots Natural Collection foundation which must have cost around £3 but is perfect: https://incidecoder.com/products/natural-collection-hydrating-radiance-foundation. However, it seems to have been replaced with a "skin tint" which is total rubbish.

I'm not averse to spending more (I know £3 isn't happening again!) but the higher end brands will be a waste because of how slowly I get through it. Any recommendations? Thank you!

Maybe look at Boots own 17 or no 7. Rimmel might also have a good replacement. You could ask in store for advice too.

Everyone raves about the Rimmel one, I think it's the one with the blue lid, but I've also heard good things about the long wear one with the red lid.

Match perfection and lasting finish.

Try Maybelline dream radiant liquid it's about £10 , I have combination skin and this doesn't dry my skin or make it greasy, it's decent coverage but not cakey , it contains hyaluronic acid and seems similar to the one you used

ETA I am also very light touch with make up

The Rimmel with the orange lid is amazing

Look at No 7 tinted moisturiser

The Rimmel Match one is good. If you buy it in Boots they have a promotion where if you spend £20 on the budget makeup brands there’s a free gift makeup bag with 4 full size products in it which makes it very good value

£3!!!! WOWWW

If you are only wearing it here and there could you get away with a concealer? Maybe from Natural Collection in the colour that your foundation was?

Kiko do some nice foundations and aren’t to badly priced, I tend to use it for my day to day foundation and it does the job!

I used to use natural collection, but now use nyx glazed. Which is very nice and not too expensive.

I am very light touch with foundation too - I use this, it's honestly like dew and only 95p more than your preferred brand!
