Foundation for combination skin?

With pretty good coverage - not sheer, but not a fake mask either. Can anyone recommend one?

I have an oily t zone and love Laura Mercier oil-free foundation, have been using it for years!

The oil free tinted moisturiser is great in summer too.

Clinique Super Balanced.

I use the chanel vitalumiere (liquid) and it's fantastic. I don't use it all over in the day - just on my nose and cheeks (which get red!)....and it looks very very natural but gives great coverage.

I just bought this which is going well so far. Not too matt, not too sheeny.

I looked at the vitalumiere and liked the texture, but the range of shades seemed quite limited and I couldn't get a good match

Estee Lauder double wear is great. Put it on at 7am and it's still there at 7pm.

Doesn't slide off with oily/ combination skin. Great stuff!

I looked at vitalumière too, but it seemed very sheer. Thanks for the other suggestions - I think I may have a go with double wear. I don't live in the UK and am not sure where to go for Mercier and Bobbi Brown (or may do a giant Space NK shop when I'm next in London )

roman try out the chanel mattlumière - i have combo skin and the vitalumière was also too sheer for me but the matt is PERFECT!

No one else seems to use it but I swear by Biotherm products. iPhone won't let me link properly bur google it. I have a really dry forehead & greasy nose (lovely ) & it is great. I use aqua sorce non stop cream too. You can sometimes get it from Boots online and if you find a concession they give you loads of freebies.
