Hey girls, I'm about to buy a new foundation. So far I'm using the BB cream from Essence, and it has a bad coverage and is really yellow. Do you have a great foundation which is not too expensive and available in Holland?

Okay well any kind of foundations okay I would say a liquid one as its got good SPF and it will put moisture into your skin but if you're nose is oily maybe get a cream, but a mac foundation is really good so maybe go into the store and ask for a colour match if not getting a green concealer for red spots and a purple concealer for dark circles under eyes covered with a foundation :) xx

If you have normal skin you don't have to worry about special foundations, a lot of them will work for you! Try Estee Lauder Double Wear, YSL Touche Éclat, Revlon Whipped Creme or Maybelline Superstay. Get a good mattifying powder to handle your nose oil (Neutrogena Oil Control, Maybelline Dream Matte, MAC Blot) :)

Yeah mac is quite expensive but worth it but any liquid foundation should be okay and yeah that's a really good point getting a matti flying powder for the oily nose, it's about 3 pound in boots :)

Yeah, because I live in Holland there is not much of a choice. we do have expensive shops, but never go there. now I want a good one, so I want to have good advice :)

He Michelle I'm from Holland too and know what you mean about the prices, I actually work in a make up store and maybe you could try the Rimmel wake me up or the lasting finish 25 hours. They are very pretty on normal skin and stay on really welk (;
