I bought this foundation a while ago and on first impressions I wasn't too impressed as it seemed to really oxidise on my skin and cling to dry patches. I've decided to give it another go as I've heard nothing but bloggers singing their praises about this foundation like Lauren Curtis, Vivianna and so many more!
I can happily report that this foundation deserves the hype surrounding it as it is amazing for the price. I find it is like MAC Studio Fix Fluid in terms of coverage but it feels so much lighter and looks a lot more natural. The shade I have which is C1 is also a pretty good match for my skin, it is very fair so good for the all the pale gals out there. In saying that, I do find it does get darker on my skin during the day which is a bit annoying but it doesn't overly detract from how the foundation looks. I also find it doesn't cling to dry patches providing a good moisturiser/primer is applies before hand. It leaves a natural finish on the skin although on my skin it leans towards the dewier side of the spectrum which provides a healthy glow without looking sweaty/oily.
The foundation also applies and blends really nicely. For this foundation I do like using either my ELF Small Stippling brush or the Real Techniques Buffing brush/Expert face brush which gives a really nice polished look. It also looks nice blended in with fingers to give a more natural look. I'm sorry I couldn't upload a picture of me wearing the foundation but I am wearing it one of my previous posts if you're interested.
Overall, I adore this foundation especially for the price as it really is a bargain at under £10 (and currently on 3 for 2 in Boots!)
Have you tried the L'oreal True Match?

I haven't tried this foundation but I have heard so many great reviews on it. Is it a matte foundation or more of a dewy one?

I've tried it before and it's amazing! I really need to re-purchase it when I've finished my current foundation :)
ReplyDeleteI've tried this before but unfortunately it just didn't suit my skin and I found it exactly like your first paragraph :( I have heard amazing things about it though- my sister is absolutely obsessed and her skin looks flawless with it, so its great for some skin types x

It really sounds better than that MAC foundation, which is awesome... I'm currently in love with the L'Oreal Lumi foundation - it's absolutely gorgeous with great coverage and a dewy look.
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to try this foundation out forever. Love what you said about it being similar to M.A.C studio fix as i love that foundation, however it breaks me out. Hopefully this one wont!

ReplyDeleteI have to agree, this is my favourite drugstore foundation by a long shot! The max factor 3 in 1 foundation is also amazing if you haven't tried it :)
