Since my Rimmel: Wake Me Up Foundation (review) ran out I decided to purchase an alternative as I wasn't a huge fan of it because of the results throughout the day. From this I was on the hunt for a new everyday foundation, after watching Lauren Curtis rave on about it I decided I would give it a try.
I got this foundation from Superdrug since they had a 2 for £12 offer on (gotta take up these special offers) usually this foundation would be £9.99 from Superdrug . Despite it being a drugstore foundation I think this is quite expensive for this brand.
This foundation is in a glass bottle with a pump too making it easy to withdraw the liquid. I like the amount it gives out in one pump because I can usually do half of my face with this or a sheer full face. I then like to use smaller pumps directly onto my brush to then focus on certain areas. For this foundation I like to use a flat top kabuki foundation brush.
The consistency of this foundation is quite thin and runny. It feels very lightweight too, however, when built up on the skin it can look cakey and chunky especially around the nose area. This is a big problem for me and for anyone really because it's not a very even layer.
I have normal to dry skin, but, throughout the day my T-zone will go very shiny when I wear this which doesn't happen with my other foundations. This usually happens after four hours of wearing it. To try to stop this I've tried applying primers in them areas and it still happens but just a while after. After testing this in store and also doing the online test on the L'oreal website I found my 'perfect' match. The website suggested I would be rose vanilla and I instantly thought something wasn't right as it had the word rose in it suggesting a pink undertone. But I went with it anyway to try it. When I apply it to my face it does has a pink undertone that certainly doesn't match me. I balance this out by using a yellow powder by model prefer.
I do not think ill be repurchasing this when I have run out because it's not made a great impression on me but I will continue using it until it has run out so I can see if there are any changes.

When dry, the finish is really nice though, it has a nice natural glow. Parts of my face did go very patchy throughout the day, especially around my jaw, nose and mouth. I also noticed my skin looked very greasy on my forehead and nose, this never usually happens to me with my other foundations and I had to touch it up using some powder which is also something I never have to do.

What are your thoughts on this foundation?
