My favourite foundation

Hey guys, since starting this blog I have blogged about two different types of foundations. At the time I really did love them both (Mac mineralize and Wake me up) Since testing out a few others my now go to foundation is definitely the Bourjois healthy mix foundation.

I've had this for a few months now and at first I was only using it for lazy days and work days. The other times I was using my Mac one. I think it is important to remember just because you pay a lot of money for a foundation doesn't mean it is going to be good which is what I found out. I paid £23.00 for the Mac one which is fairly expensive in my eyes. I only paid £7.99 for the bourjois healthy mix foundation. I researched this foundation a lot before I bought it, for example whether to get serum or foundation and what the colour matches were like. This also has a build in pump which is always a good thing. I found the serum was for people with a more combination/ oily skin type whereas the foundation is for a more dry to normal skin type. I get on really well this foundation it never breaks me out in spots and it is such a lovely texture. 

So getting onto the foundation itself, it is a very creamy but not to runny which is great. I apply this with the stippling brush but i am always looking for knew ways to apply foundation. (I have literally just bought the expert face brush on Saturday so i will be trying this out) One of the promises made by this foundation is that it lasts 16 hours, I personally wouldn't agree it lasts this long but I do believe it lasts the majority of the working day. It is supposed to give a healthy glow, I totally love this glow from this foundation it is a shiny glow its a more dewy glow and it just looks so natural. Of course it will also depend on how you apply it but overall I don't think it could give you a really shiny look. It keeps your skin hydrated and it is also supposed to have fruit therapy in which of course is lovely for your skin!

Now this picture is horrendous and it doesn't look like the right match for my skin type but it actually matches very well.  This is in the shade 51. I apply probably around two and half pumps depending on how much make up I am actually wanting to wear. It covers my face and any main imperfections.
The only issues I have with this foundation is that I know it doesn't have a great deals of shades and very pale people will probably not get away with this foundation as I have the lightest one and although I am pale I know a lot of people who would need a paler tone than me. The other issue is the packaging, although it comes in a glass bottle and has a pump which I can't fault. The writing on the packaging is actually a full sticker all the way round the bottle. The sticker peals off very easy and I never even got a chance to take photos of this before it started peeling on the side which was annoying.

On Asos at the minute this is actually only £6.50 with free delivery to the UK so go and grab it now!
The price in the high street is £7.99

Overall I really love this foundation and I will be sticking with it for a while. I would definitely recommend this.
