Foundation has to be the most aptly named item of make up. Without a good base for your make up you will end up with disastrous results.

Boots 17 Shine Control Foundation was what I was directed to. I took it home and decided to try it straight away. It went on really easily and was a really good match for my skin colour (I got nicely natural as I have pale skin.)

It covers spots fairly well but for any fairly large or red ones, a concealer must be ...
