Originally I really wanted to try the Liz Earle foundation but my local John Lewis doesn't stock the make up collection, had no samples to colour match me so I could buy online and basically looked at me like I was a fool, so done was that idea. Other high end brands did tempt me but it is alot of money to spend on something I may regret when I got home as shop lighting can be harsh and colour matching may not always be accurate (so I discovered after my friend spent £50 in YSL and the colours looked awful when she got home!)
After seeing the adverts for the new No7 foundation matching service in Boots I was intrigued. How can a little computer pick out a perfect shade for you? Anyway on the off chance that I was walking past a large out of town Boots when I was going to do the weekly shop I thought I would give it a go. They place the hand held device over each cheek and it determined 2 shades from their range that would suit my skin. I then tested each one and decided which one I wanted, simple as that!! Well I actually picked one shade and the staff gave me some in a pot to take home and test so I could see it in the correct light.
I went for the shade Cool Vanilla and went for the Stay Perfect formula. I have only worn this a few times so far but I have to say that I am in love!! It glides on easily and gives medium coverage that lasted all day, although lasts even better if you wear a primer. It is also the least drying foundation I have ever tried, I usually get really dry bits on my nose and by my eyebrows, but not with this foundation! Unsure how it would work out in summer months but I don't have to worry about that!!
All in all I am very impressed with No7 lately and will be trying more of their products so all recommendations welcome.
