Foundation can be a struggle for someone with combination skin, so I get quite bad moments of dry skin. Lately however I’ve had incredibly dry skin, I mean to the point where my skin flakes, it is tight but of course I want a bit of coverage on my skin, especially if I’m off out somewhere nice. I’ve heard so much about this foundation and it has been one of those purchases that I’ve been contemplating for a while, but I finally took the plunge, so how did I get on with it? Would I recommend it? Does it last?
I did a lot of background research before I went ahead and bought it, I mean I wanted to know pretty much everything before I went and dropped £29 on a foundation. From what other people thought with similar skin tones, to looking into the coverage more. I basically want to know everything physically possible before I decide to buy something!
So I got the shade snow which is basically for very fair skin with neutral to pink undertones, which is basically my skin summed up! The foundation says that it is about a medium to full coverage foundation which basically leaves your skin looking luminous.
When it comes to full coverage foundations on my own skin I don’t like it to be noticeable, I like it to be natural and looking fabulous!
I’ve tried applying this foundation in a couple of different ways, once with a brush and once with a beauty blender – and I personally found that with a beauty blender it came out a lot better with a blender rather than a brush. That might have been because I’m not a fan of any foundation with a brush because I find that it irritates any kind of dry skin I have.
Onto the coverage, it says obviously it is a medium to full coverage foundation and I found that it really is! It was so easy to build, leaving your skin with this luminous glow, that doesn’t look greasy. The breaking point for me with a foundation is if it is heavy on the skin, or you feel like it is going to cake on your skin. This one is super lightweight, it gives you the most amazing coverage without feeling like it is going to block your pores!
If you’re like me, and in the warmer months you get super hot, struggle with the heat, then you end up worrying that your make up is slowly going to slide off your face. Do you know what though this foundation stood the test of time. Last week we had those really hot days, I was honestly sweating so much, not a pretty sight I know, but it didn’t budge an inch and one thing I did notice was it didn’t oxidise as I wore it. I’ve had many a foundation that as the day has gone on I end up looking like an Ooompa Loompa.
I have shade Snow and this is what it looks like on my arm, on the face it is such a good match for my skin and doesn’t make me look orange at all, it looks undetectable on the skin so does exactly what it says it’s going to!
So What does my skin look like with the foundation?

£29 is a lot of money for a foundation, but if it is worth it, i may have to look into it. I very much have dry skin and finding a decent foundation is hard x
I know what you mean my lovely, however I definitely find it is worth it! xxxx
This blends so perfectly on your skin! It’s hardly noticeable! The packaging is absolutely stunning too.
It really does blend seamlessly and looks so fab on the skin! xxxxx
That looks amazing on your skin! I have very dry skin at the moment so may have to pick some up when my Estee Lauder one runs out.

Thank you so much, I am all for natural make up, sometimes I will go all out, but for everyday I want something very natural! xxxx
Ooh a foundation that doesn’t look orange and that might actually be ok for my skintond. Hoorah! I honestly find it so hard to find a good foundation. Everything always seems to look so cakes most of the time on me and it comes out like a patchy mess. 😞Will have to try this. I prefer beauty blenders for application too.

They do so many for different undertones too! This looks so natural on the skin, and not only that with a good primer underneath I’d definitely recommend them! xxxx
This has been on my wishlist for so long, I really don’t know why I’ve not yet bought it! You’re reminding me that I need too.

i love the sound of that foundation and £29 isnt that bad considering some foundations can cost more! i might invest in some
For the price you do get quite a lot too, it’s got so many different shades for certain undertones, and it goes a long way too! xxxx
I’m the only perfect left without this foundation and that just needs to change!! It’s so gorgeous I neeed it!
You need it in your life Rosie, it is so good and such an investment! xxxx
This foundation is one of my favourites for everyday, so good for full coverage x

Ooh this looks absolutely amazing. I still haven’t quite figured out foundation yet – I’ve been using a BB cream but lately found that it’s just resulting in a bit of a break out, so not really sure where I’m at right now. This definitely sounds like one to look into – thanks!
I also purchased this but I have oily skin and it surprisingly also worked well on my skin!
