Hi Natasha, I haven't found a liquid foundation that will give a good coverage for shadow, so I tend to use Dermablend or, much cheaper, Kryolan pan stick, which I've never seen in the shops but available here:
http://www.translife.co.u[...]ell%3D1 amongst other places. I use the colour 1W, which is extremely pale, practically white, and then a standard foundation (usually a Bourjois stick) over the top. Maybe the Kryolan on its own would suffice if it was a good colour match with your skin, something I must try soon.
The only time I've not had a problem with shadow is when I used to pluck, but it takes hours (at first at least), and isn't much fun. I'm now having IPL so I'm not allowed to pluck any more (thank god).
I'm still pretty crap at doing my foundation to be honest, I had a makeover done by Sammy once on a night out in Manchester and she did a great job, just using Dermablend and powder as I recall, perhaps I should go back for a refresher session! If you ever get the chance, I can recommend her.

Hi Natasha-
You might try this stuff:
http://www.colortration.com
It works really well, though it is a bit spendy, however a little bit does go a very long way. I got the sample kit of six different colors which was only $14US (free shipping) and am still using the last bits of it after nearly a year (a sad commentary, perhaps, on how often I get to go out<lol>
.
I have also gone to stores that specialize in stage makeup and gotten pancake makeup in a shade to match my skintone. You can also buy 2 or 3 shades and customize them. It works fairly well but I really don't like the greasy feel of it or how it looks in daylight but for going out at night to club or something it works just fine. Of course I guess if the light is that dim a bit of shadow would hardly be noticed anyway.<lol>
Good luck, happy hunting.
Hugs...Joni
