    Hi Ladies

    Im going on holidays Sunday so going buying new foundation today after work (not that I need it!) im using Lancome at the moment but getting tired of it now, before that I used Mac.

    Can anyone recommend a brand you found good?

    Im going to Mahon Point in Cork after work only places to buy make up are Debenhams and Boots

    What type of skin do you have - dry, oily, combination? What type of coverage are you looking for? Are you looking for a satin or matte finish? And do you prefer liquid, powder or cream foundations?!

    Sorry should have given more detail. I have normal skin, get the odd spot but nothing major. Im looking for full coverage and id like probably to have a sun kissed look. I normally use liquid foundation but am open to ideas.

    Trying to remember which brands are in Debenhams in Mahon Point....think there is a benefit counter, Estee Lauder etc. Lancome do nice foundations with a variety of different coverages (too dark for me unfortunately as I am as white as milk!).

    You could also try Clinique, I'm sure there's a Clinique counter there. For the sun kissed look you could use a bronzer or something shimmery. Bobbi Brown foundations are usually really good - not sure if they are in MP though.

    I swear by No.7's mousse foundation.
    It has sun protection of factor 15 so perfect for holidays.
    Its really light and fluffy, and gives amazing coverage.
    I have normal skin too and find it doesnt dry out or make my skin shine like some others.

    Hi All,

    I ended up getting Benefit Flawless its lovely, feels nice and light on the skin and its not oil based so doesnt clog up the pores

    Sounds good let us know what you think of it...

    I just got Philosophy Air Brushed Canvas mineral make up on Monday. I went for the 'light' shade and think I may have found my perfect foundation...:)

    I'm after a new foundation too. I've been using MAC for a few years but I think it's a bit dark for me and I'd like to try something new. I was thinking of Bobbi Brown as I've heard it's great. Does anyone know how much it costs :confused:

    No matter how many foundations I try, I always end up coming back to Clinique Superbalanced. It gives a nice medium coverage, goes on easiliy, lasts ages and has a nice dewy finish. Also at €27, it's not too pricey (my last Dior makeup cost €40 which I thought was mega steep!:eek:)
