Oh fook. I saw Marian's review and had seen some others. I wanted the foundation (with primer and there's one other product) since seeing that but ... ya'know... it's EXPENSIVE.

Also: I would have to buy online and how can you tell which colour you need?

It looks amazing but I feel the brand needs work. It sounds a bit like where you might buy a truck bomb in 1990s Donegal.

IK clergs but it's her name! And she's worth 700 million quid 

hang on tricky I'll find you the link that shows the shades on models of different skin tones 

Isn’t he the milkman in Father Ted?

if you scroll down the bottom of the page it has loads of pics if you click light / medium etc

i am a pretty pale dark ash blonde/light brown pale skinned green eyed Brit. Shade 7 is about perfect for me for this time of year (I have pinky undertones not yellow)

Heh!

I tried it awhile ago and found it a little heavy for my skin but that was years ago so maybe should have another go now I’m a withered ageing crone

she iirc did all the Armani stuff when it launched (armani have an excellent foundation btw) 

TC if anything I think it's quite light but then the coverage develops if you see what I mean. I'm only using the foundation with a concealer I already like and won't ditch 

I might get the powder too 

The formulas are pretty good. I found my perfect shade match with another brand, though. 

@Tricky - use the foundation matrix on temptalia, or the colour iq thing on the Sephora website. 

thanks Hools and Indy!

I wouldn't pay that sort of money for Pat McGrath.  But would pay plenty for a make-up sales woman to Pat McGroin.

I’ve never understood powder - what is it for? (V stupid question I know) 

Gives me a bump to get through the late shift - focuses the mind and makes me feel invincible.  

TC, I use powder for mattifying and reducing shine on top of moisturiser. I find foundation too heavy and a light dusting of loose powder is useful to even out skin tone.
