Can anyone recommend foundation that stays put? My clients end up wearing more than me! I use setting powder but it doesn't stay put. My skin is red and blotchy so I have to wear it.

There is a green cream/serum which is supposed to be good for redness. Kiko do one that is not too expensive, and is supposed to be decent. Coconut oil (cold pressed virgin) instead of, or as well as your usual moisturiser may also  help. Diet is also worth considering too, especially wheat, beer and cider. I think a giveaway that your diet might be  to blame, is if you also experience flaky scalp.

By the way, coconut oil melts make up, so it's best to put it on a while before and dab  any excess with tissue

I refuse to waste any more money on Clinique make up that cracks under my eyes damn concealer I started using e.l.f which is quite good as a foundation also  and rock star eye shadows a friend gave me are brilliant and last all day .

I used a No. 7 green colour corrector for ruddy cheeks, and it's the best of several such products I've tried (most leave you looking unwell). NYX do a good foundation, and you can set it with a very light dusting of Bourjois' rice powder if you prefer a matte look.

I think Clinique may still do a foundation that's not meant to rub off at all?

I really like the Clinique 24 hour concealer it's fantastic, I use a different brand foundation over the top Vichy dermablend, or a matte mouse by La Roche Possay sadly no longer available, or Boots No. 7. I do like E. L. F primer but just tried NYX photo primer which is so good I don't think I'll use anything else again.

I think foundation is impossible to recommend if you don't know the persons skin type and/or are quailifed to to some degree, but I would suggest setting spray if you are not already using it. I use it either with, or instead of setting powder, but I always use it. I used to buy Urban Decay for about £30, I think, but then I  switched to Makeup Revolution, which I think is about 6. Not sure if I noticed a difference.. I now get the sports one thats supposed to hold up better, but again, I can't say if it is or not.

I have oily, acne skin which is kept clear by use of good prescription medication, also I am in my late 40s so slightly ageing (but not so much thanks to the oily/acne/medication). I have to avoid anything which clogs pores, because that will override the medication effect and I will break out. I have to mix and match because if I use all oily skin products it is too much, ends up cakey and flakey.

I have a range of moisturisers, find that normal skin moisturise, normal skin primer followed by good concealer (Clinique 24 hr), then a matte foundation, powder, matt setting spray works the best.

If I am wearing tinted moisturiser/normal foundation only then to I use a matt primer.

I have very oily skin & it has been a nightmare finding make up that stays put (Still struggling now but it's better)

I use Benefit Porefessional Matte Primer or Too faced primed & poreless primer
Nars long lasting foundation (once that is empty I am switching to Fenty Beauty as I have heard really good things about them)
NYX Matte setting spray as well as Benefit Super Setter setting spray (I found that Urban Decay was causing my make up to slip off very easily)
ItCosmetics bye bye pores setting powder, however Fenty Beauty setting powder is amazing!  Laura Mercier worked for a while but found better options
Morphe setting spray is also a really good option

I would love to see someone who can tell me exactly what I need rather than wading through the dark trying out what does & doesn't work

I’m currently using Nars which Iv used for many years but I’m having to reapply after each client so I’m going through loads!

Could anyone recommend a decent full coverage please?

Believe it or not shein does really good makeup!
I buy lingerie and I’ve picked up a few makeup staples due to tik tok influence. Surprisingly great and sex proof too (yay)
