BOURJOIS FOUNDATION REVIEW :
My skin tone is quite pale right now and I was unable to find the perfect shade. The 50 Rose Ivory can be too pink and 51 is a little too dark! I’d say my skin type is similar to NC10 currently and has orange-yellow undertones.
It’s extremely difficult to find the perfect shade for a fresh-looking complexion when I’m as pale as this. But I’m able to wear shade 51 if I choose to use an edgy self-tanner that offers just enough shade that I can find a Bourjois foundation that fits my skin tone.
I haven’t used this original Healthy Mix foundation, so I’m not able to compare it to this new formulation.
However, I can inform people that this Healthy Mix foundation is a bit different. Healthy Mix foundation isn’t as dry as Healthy Mix Serum, and it gives a little more coverage and radiance for a fresh look for at least 24 hours. Both foundations smell the same fruity scent. I enjoy it!
This is a very light coverage foundation that instantly erases imperfections and gives a natural finish, and can be built up to medium coverage. It looks gorgeous for the complexion! It is possible to apply a second layer if necessary, and it doesn’t look like it’s caked. I prefer applying it using my fingertips as I do with the most glowing foundations.
In case your skin is oily I’d suggest you use an oil-free primer and set it with the lightest sprinkle of powder. In addition, I’ve noticed that if I delay too long before setting it, the foundation begins to sink into my fine lines within a couple of minutes.
My skin looked healthy and shiny at the time I reached 3 hours (with the help of a base and the loose powder) however, it wasn’t terribly oily. I applied a blotting sheet after 4 hours as at this point, my face was oily. The foundation however was stunning and rested a natural glow on my face!
After 8 hours, however, the coverage had become less transparent. It’s as if my skin had drunk certain amounts of foundation and my imperfections didn’t appear to be hidden any longer. I even put it on once for 11 hours and the foundation appeared somewhat smudge-like on my face and around my nostrils.
CONCLUSION
This means that it’s not the 16 hours stated and I’m sure I need to apply a couple of blotting sheets throughout the day however, for a bourjois healthy mix anti fatigue foundation, and considering my oily skin I’d say 8 hours should be pretty decent!
