My skin is quite dull, pale and freckly and I'm getting wrinkles too. I want something that will give me good coverage and healthy/radiant glow without looking heavy or caked.
Oh - and a good moisturiser and eye cream if you know of any. My skin can be quite sensitive. Thanks.

Benefit products work wonders, but its not the quality of the foudation that makes it last. You need to use a powder, if your skin is dull and pale you can try a tinted powder, look for ben nye natural loose powder, the powder sets the foundation to the skin, if you dont use it you'll get all those lines in the creases of your face.
i also recommend neutrogena moisturizer, its great for senstive skin as its non frangranced, its also great for using under base makeups as it quite thin, moisturizers like Nivea contain an ingrediant [im sorry i cant remember what its called] which makes foundations stick to it and proves an uneven application.
it is also important to tone before you moisturize, this gives you a clean fresh face to apply makeup onto each day, and will make the application look so much better.

Try either Covergirl Advanced Radiance or Maybelline Instant Rewind. Both are made just for adult skin to fight wrinkles and to make you look fresh and young.
Aveeno Positively Radiant Moisturizer is really good. It has a soy complex that evens skin tone and reduced the appearance of age spots, etc. They have an extended line of products that you can check out at the store or online.

As other people have already said Estée Lauder Double Wear is great, I also really like Lancome Color ID, they are both really long lasting and give excellent coverage.
Try Nivea Visage Sunkissed Skin moisturiser, it has a hint of fake tan so it will gradually give you some colour and get rid of the dull, paleness, also it is a great base for a foundation.

I suggest going to the Chanel counter at your nearest major department store and trying their foundation, you can return it if you get it home and don't like it. Plus you can try different shades and types to see which works best. Yes, it's a bit expensive (about $45) but it is well worth it. Also invest in the Chanel Pur Matte powder compact ($42) it is amazing. Also the key to applying foundation is to use a good foundation brush (try Sephora). As far as moisturizer and eye cream I suggest Clinique...very good for sensitive skin. Trust me I have tried and thru trial and error and wasting a lot of money at the drugstore I have found the above to be great. Well good luck ;-)

'Doublewear' by Estee Lauder really does last all day. Use a cream blusher formula for a dewy, healthy glow. Try a gentle exfoliater for the dullness. Good skincare ranges for sensitive skin are Eucerin, Simple, Dermalogica & Aqueous cream (from the chemist)

I think Minerals are the best choice for you. I recommend Everyday Minerals at everydayminerals.com. The company sends samples for free so you have nothing to lose. The coverage is great and it has a healing effect on dull skins.

I use Teint Compact creme universel by Chanel. Its a compact foundation. Covers well without leaving that heavy 'cakey' feeling.. it lasts long and is generally fantstic! The only foundation i ever use since i've discovered it.
It costs around £28.. so its not cheap.. but it lasts for a long time.
I also use Aqua Fusion skin cream by Lancome..its a lovely moisturisor and makes your skin feel great!
Hope that helps!

Hmmm try the Mary Kay lines. Their foundation is excellent. If you want to get a glow and moisturize your skin at the same time get Jergens Natural Glow moisturizer. Works like a miracle!

Clean and Clear spot control moisturiser is my favourite and it has no fragrance or scent so is ideal for sens skin. I also use maxfactor hypersmooth foundation in porclain for an even coverage and I put benefit hollywood glo on top for a dewy complection.
hope that helps!!
