    I've been using L'Oreal Infallible for a few years. Swapped to a few other foundations now and again out of boredom but I keep going back to it. Sometimes though on off days I don't think it has quite as much coverage as I'd like. The most coverage foundation I've ever used was Double Wear and thought it was way too much. Is Double Wear Light good? Or could anyone recommend a foundation that has good coverage but not as much as Double Wear, something in between would be great, thanks.

    Try Revlon Colour Stay-it's good coverage + theres 2 versions, 1 for oily/combination skin and another for normal/dry..think its about €20.

    I've heard bad stuff about Double Wear Light.

    U could also try MAC Studio Fix Fluid-excellent coverage + staying power although it can dry out your skin...just depends on your skin type really

    I use Double Wear Light and find it the best foundation I've ever tried. I've been using it for 2 years now and although I wandered off to try other ones now and again I always come back to it

    Drop into an EL counter and they're pretty good at giving samples so you can try before you buy.

    I love double wear but find it very heavy for everyday

    Recently purchase MAC Sculpt foundation abroad. No one at an Irish counter ever suggested it to be. Full coverage foundation but doesn't have the last power of double wear

    There's a new version of Double-Wear called Double-Wear Light afaik. That might be more up your street. Mac Studio Fix Fluid is also quite good for staying power. Put powder over for a longer-lasting finish.

    Had the very same problem, loved double wear, but hated that it seemed to soak into my skin and was hard to cleanse off. Am now trying out lucidity. Would love to get something cheaper though, but my skin is sensitive. Let us know how you get on with the revlon!
    Have used origins next of skin in the past has good coverage but think my skin is tired of it

    Try the L'Oreal True Match, it's great! Blends really well and comes in a really good range of colours.

    Tried the Colourstay today and really liked it, good coverage and it dries well without being gloopy. The only thing I didn't like was the bottle, there's no pump and it's a bit messy but overall I'm happy with it. Plus it's 3 for 2 in Boots at the moment :)

    Hate the feeling of True Match for some reason, find it too greasy or something? Much preferred Infalliable.
