Mineral foundation - are Mac or Body Shop any good? Or any other recommendation?

I bought some from No7 but it is a bit too dark for my pale skin (in the lightest shade). Other than that I like it and the powder formulation is great for my combination skin.

Anyone tried Mac or Body Shop?

I haven't tried the Mac or Body Shop ones but I really like the Lily Lolo ones.

You can order sample sizes of all their foundations which is great as they don't cost very much.

I use lily lolo (stupid name). You can buy small little tester pots for 1.25 which are useful so you can see how good the colour match is.

I got a couple and they lasted for ages - easily a month. I also really like their silk finishing powder - often use that over proper foundation and find that it means it literally doesn't move all day - even in the sun. Actually sometimes I just use that on it's own. It fills in any big pores and stops me being shiney of nose without adding colour.

Lily Lilo looks great, but I can't get it here (I live outside the UK)

Tried a Mac one today and it was quite good.

I discovered Bare Minerals at the weekend. It's lovely and it doesn't feel like you have make up on.
