I have wanted to try this product since it first came out but had been waiting a while, until I finally caved a couple of weeks as I want to try different foundations as before I only had one due to the fact I usually use BB creams. The bottle is very basic but easy to use and it comes in a wide range of colours, this is number 52.
It is a light/medium consistency and is the same in coverage, which is fine by me for everyday as I do usually wear BB creams and don't like my face to feel heavy, however I wouldn't wear this on a night out as it does not give me the coverage I need. I was hoping that it would give me more of a dewy glow than it did, however it did brighten up my face quite a bit.
Here is a picture of just the foundation:
As you can see it looks glowy on the oily parts of my face, forehead and nose, but quite matte on my cheeks.
And here it is with the rest of my make up:
I would give this product an 7/10, maybe even a 6 just because I had such high expectations for it. I think if it would be good for skin that has little blemishes or maybe in the summer, but at the moment it hasn't beaten my BB cream.
Finally here is a shot that got caught with flash and sunlight:
Have you tried this product? What do you think?

I use this foundation, I really like it :) Might be a coincidence, but I have had less spots since using it too. Likewise, I'd probably top it up with something else to go out but for me it's fine on its own for everyday wear :)

DeleteI think i built it up too much :/

Thank you for this review. I have read so many raves about it and was ready to buy it soon. But I will hang on till Summer time. At the moment I use full coverage foundation. I have quite a lot of readness and spot scarring in my skin so there is no point putting light foundation on and then tons of concealer all over my face. I prefer when my foundation covers most of it :)
ReplyDeleteBut when I get a bit of tan (hopefully!) in the Summer and some redness will go away it would be nice to use something light like this :)

No problem, I'm glad it helped.
DeleteI think it would be better for summer but I just feel it didn't give enough coverage that I felt a foundation should have.

i really like it. I love most bourjois products

I have the 10 hour sleep one by Bourjois, I really like it because its not too heavy for the day time. It smells like apricot too( good or bad thing?). Still, I am yet to find a foundation I really truely love!

I've heard about that one, apricot sounds good to me, maybe I should try. I might add it to the list of things to try. I've really gotten in to foundation again, my bank balance hates it haha.
DeleteI know finding the right foundation (on a budget) is soo hard.

I am really interested in trying this, but with mixed reviews it is hard to know whether to get it. I haven't used any of their other products, so I'm not sure what the quality is like.
ReplyDeleteI think it's worth a try as it's not too expensive, I think it all depends on the coverage and finish you want, everybody is different which is why I'm guessing there are so many different reviews.
