    Ok so I know there are tonnes of foundation threads, but I was wondering if anybody could help me with a foundation that has a good SPF? Suncreams flare up my skin and creams containing SPF tend to be pretty expensive from what I can find, so I was thinking considering I wear foundation on a daily basis I could kill two birds with one stone as it were?

    Any suggestions? What do you all use to protect your face?? :)

    I use No. 7's protect and perfect day cream, which has a SPF15 - and its not too expensive either. Think it was around €25 when I bought it last - they often have 3 for 2 offers on them too.

    Foundation I currently use Lancome's Teint Miracle Foundation - again with SPF15 - see review here:

    I also like Smashbox's High Definition Healthy FX Foundation which has SPF15 too.

    I seem to alternate between the 2 foundations above. The Smashbox one being a bit more expensive so depends on funds which one I get really.

    Don't most foundations have SPF now? Any I've used do. At the moment I use Revlon Colourstay and it has an SPF of 15. Would that be high enough for you?

    kerash I would be more inclined to invest in a very good moisturiser for your face than on foundation.

    I have no idea what moisturiser to use and i cant afford to spend too much - currently using olay. I only have a few patches of very dry and the majority of my face is fine. I find a lot of moisturisers too greasy.
    Still want a foundation that wouldn't be drying or wrong for my face tho so any suggestions?

    Op i got a sample of this today - it has an spf of 20, will let you know how i find it

    I use Bare Minerals foundation which has SPF 15, but from the Spring on I use Pro-activ sunscreen too. It's only €12.90 on their website. http://www.proactiv.ie/sun.aspx

    It's still only factor 30 though, I'd prefer to wear factor 40+ on my face, but anything else I've tried (and I've tried a LOT) make me break out in huge sore spots.
