Question:
Hi Girls,
I'm looking for a new, inexpensive ($60 or under) foundation that I can wear everyday. I'd like something with the best coverage possible, nothing really sheer.
What foundation do you girls recommend? Would love your opinions!

Answer:
I love Estee Lauder Double Wear (I know, I know, bring out the broken record), it's medium to full coverage and has amazing staying power but I don't find it mask-like or unnatural. I think it retails for around $63?
Clinique Superfit is also pretty good and around the same price too.

Answer:
The EL Double Wear's $66, I've been trying to scour SNet for it but they only have the darker shades I'm a huge fan of the Clarins True Comfort foundation ($5 but need to get my light shade from SNet. I'm not sure how much the MAC Mineralise Satinfinish retails for her, but it's wonderful also.

Answer:
I always found Revlon compact foundations to be quite good for under $50 for day to day use as they hide everything quite well and they provide sunscreen too.

Answer:
I was considering MAC Studio Fix Fluid, but have heard and read it's hard to work with.
Double Wear sounds great though, it seems to be a lot of people's HG!

Answer:
I had a Rimmel one once that I can't remember the exact name of, but it was fab for coverage - and cheap!
Rimmel concealer sticks are pretty good too, considering they're like $10

Answer:
The best cheap foundation I've found is Loreal Cashmere Perfect (I'm shade 30, Golden Amber) I can't remember how much I think it's $20-$30.
Then again everyone has different foundations that suit their skin and looks better on their skin type. I've found that when I only use this foundation on my skin and nothing else it still looks great but it's not always the best match in certain lights which is why I depend on my powders to fix that!

I second this! I love the coverage and how lasting it is on me. I can wear it all day through to night and it will still cover my skin quite well. A great alternative to this would be Revlon's Colourstay range.

*is thinking of finding Double Wear testers and then being naughty and ordering off Snet*

Studio Fix Fluid is a little tricky to work with... more so than other foundations.
But yes, Ive heard so many raves for double wear... is it ok on a mature skin? My mum loves full coverage foundations but has the problem with it looking dry and cakey and settling into lines
