    Hi guys, looking for a good coverage foundation for day wear to cover freckles :( I wear make up every day and use Double Wear or Dermablend for night time. Wondering can anyone recommend a foundation for less than 20 euro that offers good coverage please? Constantly seem to be coming home with a new one from the chemist to find the coverage is poor...

    Colorstay is pretty good. I find it goes on best with the ELF powder brush. I do need a powder with it tho.

    I think Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation has really good coverage smells nice too, it didnt have a shade light enough for me though :(

    The Rimmel new one is quite good, only problem is how dark the lightest shade it! I use revlon colourstay too and I think I prefer it (minus the shade selection).
    I set it with MSFN and it works really well, use a sponge to apply it though, it's just too much hassle washing long wear foundations out of brushes i think!

    Barbara Daly's foundation is great; covers up all things unwanted.
    Great coverage.

    And its really reasonably priced.

    It can be found in tesco.

    +1 For the Colourstay, and theres also a new No.7 one- its got better coverage but for oily skin called beautifully balanced.

    Definatly Colorstay- think its €17.50 in Boots, great coverage and they do formulas for normail/combo or dry skin, great value!

    What colour would you need? I'm quite pale and I use 51.

    I have the shade 51 too but its really yellow on my skin, the only foundation that matches me well is bobbi brown in porcelain and vichy aera teint in 12,unfortunately neither have great coverage.
