Love!
Oh. My. Goodness!
I have terrible luck when it comes to foundation. I am very fairskinned and find it really hard to find a colour that matches, this is made even harder because even the lady at the make up counter was hard pressed to decide if i were pink or neutral toned.
I have spent the last eighteen years rarely wearing foundation because it's a waste of money... it always end up creasing or looks cakey, even if i find a colour that is almost correct.
However, this foundation is a life changer! I finally have a colour that is spot on (0.5n! Woo!); it looks as though my skin tone is nice and even and isn't even apparent I'm wearing a full face. It is so natural, I'm in love. It doesn't cling to the dry bit at the edges of my nose, it doesn't crease around my eyes, and a little goes a long way. I prefer the glow version of this as it makes my skin look AMAZING, but the matte is just as good.
My mum got a tester at the counter, and even she (who refuses to wear make up and is terrible with looking after her skin) was blown away. She's actually going to buy one for family get togethers and social occasions. I'm shocked, she is the last person i would expect to be swayed!
This foundation is also designed to make your skin better the more that you use it; I can't speak to that as I don't wear it daily, but I can say that it hasn't made my skin worse. It feels light, as though I've just moisturised and nothing else, it hasn't caused me to break out in spots or dried my sensitiveskin out. Paired with my The Ordinary primer, it lasts all day. Quick tip; if you use the beauty blender (the blue velvet one) by Sunday... something, I've forgotten but their review is on here, your foundation will last sooo much longer. I think this is important given the foundation is expensive.
If you knew how much i hated foundation, and how much my mum never gets on with it either, you would rush out to get this. At the very least, get a sample from debenhams, it is a life changer!
