Cream foundation recommendations please

Powder is "so last year!!"............we now aim for the natural healthy glow look!

The beauty of buying from QVC beaty counter is that you test and try their products in the comfort of home........and if dis satisfied for any reason you can return........even a half used product.No questions asked and money back......guaranteed.
Worth while experimenting using their products and they have a wide range from the best (expensive) brands to the much more affordable.
You take your pick.

I'd ditch the powder too - but I know nothing!

So not only have I got cream v liquid to get my head round - I now have BB and CC !
Thanks for info OldMeg - I’ll definately ditch the powder

Personally I’d ditch the powder!

CC Creams: The difference between BB and CC creams is subtle--CC generally stands for “color correcting” and the products are meant to address issues like redness or sallowness (usually with light-diffusing particles), whereas BB creams are like lighter foundation with a few skin care benefits thrown in.

kitty what is B.B. cream?

Sassenach I wouldn’t know what colour to order though
I do use powder to ‘fix’ my make up so maybe I should stop doing that. Thanks for the suggestion.

jane and kitty - I don’t know the difference either! I keep reading that cream foundation is a must for mature skin. I’ve discovered mine is liquid.
I will go to John Lewis when I get the chance. However, I have never had good experiences with make up counters. They seem so eager to sell that they will recommend anything.
I experienced this with a Clinique ‘makeover’ recently. Young lady was very pleasant but didn’t concentrate on problem areas such as under eye dark shadows. Then she put eye shadow on me that creased. When I pointed it out she just rubbed it off and said ‘best give that a miss then’
The lipstick colour she put on me was awful! I then chose a more subtle colour and she said ‘wow! That’s much better!’
That experience has made me rather distrustful!

I was just going to ask what the difference is.

I use BB cream and find i only need a tiny amount of foundation anyway.

Flaxseed I’m not really sure of the difference between liquid and cream foundations - but if you go to the Charlotte Tilbury counter I’m sure the assistants would be very happy to help & advise you & let you try things out.

I agree with Lemongrove Flaxseed, I have used Avon True Colour for a number of years now but the flawless liquid foundation option. You only need a pea size amount and it covers any blemishes beautifully without sitting in the creases. Do you add powder? maybe that causes the problem?

Thanks for quick responses!
I would prefer to go and chose a colour rather than ordering online.
We have a John Lewis here so I could try the Charlotte Tilbury one although that
link took me to a liquid foundation janeainsworth
Do you know if there is a cream one too?

I’ve just converted to Charlotte Tilbury flaxseed and really like this
www.johnlewis.com/charlotte-tilbury-light-wonder-foundation/p2127563
It seems to spread very thinly and feels very light but still seems to cover blemishes well and makes my skin feel very smooth.

Go onto the Avon site Flaxseed they do a great creamy foundation in a compact, that you apply with a small sponge, so easy to do and gives a dewy finish.I think it’s called True Colour and is in a black compact, it comes in many colours, I like the creamy natural colour, but choose according to your own complexion.
If you create an account, a lot of things are half price, so it should only cost £6.You will be charged a little bit of postage, so I usually buy two at the same time, or one or two other things.

I've got one from Mally ,available from Amazon and QVC ,it has a great brush with it and once on it lasts all day .Its not matt though so if you dont like a "glow" it may not suit .
