Hey you lovely lot,
I have a ball to attend in April and looking for suggestions on drug store makeup. I’m looking for recommendations on a new foundation, powder and concealer mainly.
Just something I can pick up from Boots or Superdrug would be amazing. I’m 34, with no skin problems or concerns (apart from the odd fine line and wrinkle here and there but I’m totally fine with that). Skin type is combination.
Looking for something long lasting, that won’t sink into my creases straight away, around a medium / full coverage (buildable perhaps) and open to suggestions on a matte or dewy finish.
There are so many options these days so I thought I’d shout out to you lovely lot as I’d love to hear your suggestions.
Please no MLM companies, I’m cool with them, but I’m going to head into The Metro Centre for a shopping treat day prior to the event so would like to pick them up on that day.
Thank you so much in advance for your help and I look forward to hearing back from some of you.
 
@patience17 Lovely suggestions, I’m looking for something with a fuller coverage however this is a great idea for my holidays so will definitely check this out too. Thanks Holly xx
 
I see L'Oréal infalable fresh wear recommended on YouTube a lot. Collection concealer is very good and cheap too
 
I have also learnt the power of a good primer. Elf so great ones. I use it the putty primer in my t zone with elf camo cream (cc cream)
 
I’m a mua and I love L’Oréal true match. Nice and buildable coverage but with a dewy finish. I’m turning 40 and don’t find it sits in my lines like some of the matte foundation does.
They do a matching concealer that’s good. I use a beauty blender to apply for a better finish. They also do a compact powder that’s good for your handbag for any oily bits that may appear x
 
I'm 49 and love all clinique make up it's not cakey it goes on like a dream and lasts all day/night..ive tried Charlotte Tilbury but made my skin a mess.
 
Love a day out at the metro! Just make sure you can try the makeup on and have a look under different lights. The shop lights don’t always give a true reflection of what makeup looks like in the day light. Or better still use a store that will let you return if you get home and it doesn’t suit. Enjoy your Ball xx
 
Go to a large boots and ask them to colour match you with their no7 range. I had my skin scanned 2 weeks ago and they gave me skincare advice based on the scanner view of my skin and matched me to the right colour and type of foundation. Teally good and a lovely long lasting foundation. So much better than the clinique on I was using before.
 
Good morning,
Ah these are amazing, thank you so much ladies I really do appreciate it.
So I’m a skincare specialist so I could talk all day and night about skincare. I used to work on the makeup counters for years but that was many moons ago, since then I feel the makeup industry has boomed and there’s just so much out there. Probably the same with the skincare industry but I feel so much more at ease talking about that area.
Hope you all have a lovely day and I look forward to reading and researching more of your recommendations xx
 
The revelation IRL filter foundation has INSANE coverage! Don’t have no photos with it on as I rarely take photos now days but deffo got the full coverage and blends like a dream! I picked mine up from super drug xx
