Something I think is worth spending money on is a good foundation! A bad foundation looks terrible. Even worse if there is bad application!
I use Estee Lauder Double Wear. I buy it off ebay. It is good on sensitive skin and has SPF 10 so a good basic every day foundation. I use mineral powder over the top.

I really like Revoln Photo Ready foundation, it gives you a really good finish, its smooth and non greasy
and really does give me a photo finish, i wore it to a recent wedding and the photos of me looked really good
never seen that before so will be sticking to this foundation
its reasonably priced too

I am using Maybelline Mineral Power Natural perfecting foundation and it's the best I've used in a while. Light even coverage that doesn't block my pores or feel yucky.

I love my Bobbi Brown Natural Finish Long Lasting Foundation SPF 15. Very natural looking and easy to apply and blend. I don't need to set it with loose powder either. It's $75 per 30mL but a little goes a very long way.

MFF that's the one I have been using and I love the way it feels, but it's a bit light for my skin tone (I think I'm getting old, my skin is getting patchy ) so it wasn't quite enough.

I just went and bought a Panstick and I really like it so far!

This is the liquid not the powder, I have always found mineral powders too light.

I use the lightest Clinique one (can't remember what it's called) and I love it.

I use Clinique superbalance foundation, its $48, but I find I don't need to use very much each time, so a little bottle can last me 5 months, even though I wear foundation most days.

IMO it blends really well and looks really natural, and I like the fact that its one of Cliniques "regular" lines, so they arent going to discontinue it and make me find something new. ( I used to get so mad when that happened with previous foundations I had used!)

Oh right, I didn't know it came in liquid form.

OP, i got the Inika mineral powder from a healthfood shop but i'm sure you'd be able to buy it online. I had another mineral powder before that one which i didn't like as it made my skin look dry. The thing with mineral powders is not to put them on too thick and they will tend to look much better an hour after you've put them on - after they've blended better with your natural oils. I don't like to look like i've got anything on - just a little more even skin tone and a nice glow.
