    Recently ran out of foundation and looking to try a new brand.
    I have mildly sensitive, quite pale and dry skin but its fairly clear, with some very slight redness so coverage doesn't have to be super heavy, moderate will do. I'd be willing to go up to 30 quid, absolute max.

    Bourjois 10 hour sleep effect has caught my insomniac eye, but I don't know if it will live up to the name.

    Thanks for any suggestions :)

    I usually use Lancome although bought benefit the last time to see what all the hype was about but I'll be going back to Lancome, it much better suits my skin type. I'm pale too and I find the colour choice very good!

    Also i heard Emporio Armani do a foundation thats slightly like Lancome so I'm tempted to try that out.

    I would recommend Lancome though and its €30 I think, altho it may perhaps be a few extra euro...cant remember!!

    Your skin sounds quite like mine, I have quite sensitive/dry/pale skin. I find it really difficult to find a shade that looks natural (Clinique and MAC etc just don't produce make-up for pale people, even the palest shades look really obvious). But I find that Loreal Paris Infallible is great. Its not too expensive at about €18 euro, but it lasts all day and has excellent coverage. Ooo and it has SPF15 in it, which is very neat.

    Also, hurrah for pale-ness being in fashion again! :D

    If you want to splash out on foundation try a Chanel one- their palest colour is fantastic! They've got a good few different kinds but the girls in Arnotts (def not BT) are always willing to test the various ones to help get the one that suits. I can't remember how much it was but it's lasted me for ages so it's well worth the spend even if it is a bit pricey.

    I love Make Up Forever Matt foundation for nights out, you can get it as pale as you need and has great longlasting coverage. During the day i use Bare Essentials pale shade, does the job!

    I use Revlon Colorstay, I'm pretty pale and sensitive too and it's very natural, stays on brilliantly and is about 17 euro.
