Foundation mare

Hi geeks,
Can anyone please recommend a decent foundation suitable for oily skin (or even a primer or similar) nothing too expensive either...
I find that whatever I use looks ok or good in the morning when I put it on, then the afternoon rolls round and my face is all shiny and my eyebrows and jaw are all orange because its slid and gone all manky. It needs to be a good coverage because my skin is a bit scarred (not bad acne scarring opr anything just from scrapping with siblings as a child! :/ and just general uneven skin tone.
Obviously being a therapist it's not really ideal to look as if I havn't got a clue how to put make up on when actually it's because my face warmed slightly and I have oily skin
I never really enjoyed mua so after college it went out the window so any tips would be gratefully recieved
Thanks Melissa

hi there,
i am loving bare essentials at the mo!
i was debious as you would never think it would cover or stay, but cause it not a powder, it is a mineral, the texture is diffrent
you can get a primer to apply before hand, then the actual mineral, then a mineral called "veil"which you dust over the top to seal it on.
i got the starter pack, which was £40 odd, but you get 2 foundations, concealer,veil,warmth(bronzer/definer)3 brushes and little primer.
once you master the technique you will be well away,
i have problematic skin,senstive,roscea, blemishes etc, it covers it all!
give it a whirl x

£40 sounds reasonable actually for a set... I know somewhere nearby which is selling so after pay day I will definatly have a wander down there to look. thanks for the tip! xx

Hi, I used to have this problem and now i swear by Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation. I put it on about 8 am in the morning and by bedtime its all still exactly where i put it. Its fantastic. If you go to your nearest Estee Lauder counter and ask them if they can colour match you and give you a little sample bottle then you could try it out first. Its about £25 but its good coverage a small bit goes along way, a bottle lasts me almost a year xx
