My lazy day foundation
I have dry skin and this foundation works wonderfully with my skin. It smells absolutely delicious and it is so blendable. I always get compliments on how radiant my skin looks when I wear this foundation. This is a good everyday wear foundation! Make sure to set it with a transluscent powder like RMS Unpowder :D
A great everyday foundation for normal skin
This foundation is great for someone who wants light to medium coverage that is fairly easy to blend. I find that wearing a moisturizer underneath as opposed to a primer gives better results. A stippling brush or flat top kabuki buffs in the foundation very nicely into the skin. The foundation lasts all day provided it is powdered in the t-zone. I wouldn't recommend this to someone with very dry skin because it may cling to dry patches, but would be a great foundation for someone with fairly balanced skin looking for a foundation that makes their skin look perfected.
A BRILLIANT BUY
this foundation by Bourjois claims to give your skin a radiance boost and leave it looking flawless for up to 16 hours. The foundation has fruit therapy to improve and target problem areas of your skin. Apricot for radiance Melon for hydration Apple to protect your youth
So does this foundation actually do what is claims? Almost. Firstly the packaging is a lot nicer than the original one,it is in a glass bottle with the signature bourjous colours. When applying the foundation is blends out well even with the odd dry patch. It does look very natural and it's adds a lot of radiance to the skin. It has more of a semi-matte finish than dewy which I find better for my skin as it's oily.
However Bourjois claim that this foundation lasts 16hours plus. It doesn't last nearly as long as that. For me if I use a primer and powder with the foundation I could get about 7 hours wear( with it still looking acceptable).
The foundation has a lot of colours, but if you are very pale then I don't think there would be a colour for you. The shades are also yellow undertones which is a good change compared to most foundations.
When I first got this foundation I didn't really enjoy it, however now I've been through 2 bottles of it already. Ive found no other foundation that looks so natural and gives good coverage without looking cakey.
Hate/ Love relatioship with this one...
...It's good, okay, it's great, if I used it on it's own. No blush, bronzer... Whatever, later. Then it looks great, offers a lot of coverage and works well on bad skin days. But if I want to contour, use powder or smth. I can't use this foundation, 'cause in "connection" with other products, this looks my skin looking patchy and just not right. But if's good for quick aplication.
Yes Bourjois!
Oh my! This foundation:o It's soo luurvely:)) It can be blended into the skin so easily and works brill with a sponge. It gives an average amount of coverage and with an average concealer would work with any dry skinned face. It is so light, when I have it on I feel like I haven't got any makeup on because my skin isn't caked up and heavy, it's like being a natural beauty!:D
good foundation for someone wanting a very matte finish.
i find that the product didnt blend well with my real techniques brushes, it left my skin feeling very caked (i only used 1 pump) and i definitely thing that although good, their is many competing products on the market (e.g rimmel-wake me up) which does a much better job.
great but low gamma
Is great has a very nice dewy finish, is lovely in dry skin, I would recomend it for normal to dry skin, the color base is so neutral so go beautifull in so many skin undertones, also stay put all day very well, in the store they told me it was a sheer foundation but I would say it is a medium cover wich is very nice to. I loved the price i had try other foundations more expensive and this one could be my second favorite =) the only think i don't like is it has not dark skin color the darkest is for olive skins at least is the gamma you can find in Mexico
flawless,natural looking skin!
This is one of the best foundations I have ever used.The smell is amazing,it doesn't look cakey at all!The skin looks glowy and natural.It doesn't clog my pores and it doesn't break me out.It's more suitable for people with dry or normal skin,because it's quite hydrating.It's cheap and it's a great dupe for the Chanel Pro Lumiere foundation!Absolutely great product.
