Foundation causing spots need recommendation for good coverage.

Blingy

Got a tester for estee Lauder double wear which I loved however I broke out in spots so bought the double wear light which i thought was perfect for the last few months. Love the level of coverage it gives however I regularly break out with small white pimples which I put down to hormones. I now realise it is the foundation. After spending a few days not wearing it at all my skin cleared up really well and as soon as I used it again within 12 hours I had spots again.
I need recommendations for a good foundation for combination skin (oily t zone) with good coverage. Used bobbi brown long lasting foundation before which is lovely but very light coverage.
Any recommendations welcome. Thanks.

I love the Diorskin nude foundation. Not too heavy, and like you some foundations give me pimples but this one doesn't

I love benefit playsticks, gives a lovely smooth coverage but nice and natural look.

No.7 Stay Perfect is what I use, it gives medium coverage but you can build it up to full coverage without getting that 'cakey' look. It is a lot lighter than Double Wear though so might not be for you.

It's about €20 in Boots and if you have a No.7 €6.50 voucher you can use that against it. The girls in Boots will you a sample and will do a colour match for free too. When I got a sample, they gave me enough for a week so I could try it properly rather than a small bit for one or two days/uses.

Thanks for the replies. Tried a sample of clarins ever matte today which I really didn't like due to lack of coverage. Lovely smell though.
Going to try No 7 beautifully matte and see how I get one. Have tried stay perfect before and thought the coverage was quite light.

Are you taking it off properly?

I found that I broke out using DW when I didn't clean it off properly before going to bed.

Yes I was very conscious of making sure it was fully removed.

Estee Lauder have a new foundation out now called Invisible. It might be worth your while getting a sample and trying it out. It's not as heavy but still gives good coverage.

Bare Minerals makeup. It's mineral based so very good on your skin and you can build the coverage up very easily without feeling like you're caked in makeup.

OP I'd recommend Clarins Everlasting foundation-I'm a big EL Double Wear fan too and Clarins offers similar coverage but lighter texture.

I bought the No. 7 Beautifully Matte at the weekend as I lost my bottle of EL DW and while the coverage isn't quite as long wearing I really like the finish.

A friend of mine with oily skin, who has suffered with acne since her teens swears by Bare Minerals, her skin has never looked better & it's the only change she has made to her beauty routine. The application takes getting used to though but she says the results are well worth it.
If it's full coverage you want then Vichy Dermablend is the best I've seen, it covers everything.
