   I use two different foundations - One for work and one for going out.
 
Work one I have been using for about 5 years - Best coverage I have found!  Australis - $19.90 - That lasts me about a month.
 Going out - MAC - About $50 I think - That lasts about 6-7 weeks depending on how often I go out.
 I would LOVE to spend $15 every 2 months!

   I use clinique and it is about $50 and lasts I think 3 months, hard to tell as I only started using it before I fell pregnant and stopped when pregnant as touching face made me feel ill.

   I'm curious about a foundation brush too - how does that work?  I mean, you couldn't use it with a liquid foundation, could you??   
I used to use a Shisedo Creme one - loved it but then it stopped being right for my skin - tried 3 more and now I'm on the Maybelline one that does the whole 'liquid to powder finish' - it's lovely and light, and as a bonus, doesn't break the bank.

   I don't wear makeup very often. Thankfully I don't really need to. I tend to only wear it when I'm going out and even then I wear very little. 
 I use a tinted moisturiser from Elizabeth Arden about $60 from memory. I find that's all I need. If I do want a proper foundation I use Napoleon which I think was also around $50 or $60. 
 I use a foundation brush. They are really good; they give you a nice smooth, even finish and you find that you use a lot less foundation. Just be sure to look after the brush. Yes you do use it with a liquid foundation.

   I use a tinted moisturiser, cant remember the brand, but I love it! I then use a powder on top of that to ensure there is no shiny spots, and i use nutrimedics finishing power.
 If i use foundation i usually stick to maybelline mousse or max factor.. I love max factor but cant always afford it..
 But then, i very rearely wear makeup anyway, only on special occasisions.
