I bought this foundation as I’m a huge fan of boots no7 hydra luminous skincare range and recently decided it was time now I’m in my late 20’s to move away from matte foundations that accentuated the slightest fine lines, dryness etc on my face. I was excited by the skin loving ingredients such as hylauronic acid and the price as was on offer for £10 in my local boots store. I was matched to the shade cool vanilla which while being the correct undertone is a tad darker than my skin but not so much that I can’t make it work. It is a squeezy tube which makes it really difficult to get the right amount of product I always squeeze out too much! I was really excited for the advertised dewy finish but this foundation looks straight up shiny on my skin, picture a glowy foundation on someone with really oily skin at the end of a long hot day and you get the gist of how this foundation looks on me! And this is on initial application not even after any wear time. I thought applying powder may tone down this issue but somehow just makes the foundation look really flat. Wear time isn’t brilliant I wouldn’t dare wear this much more than 8hrs unless you’re using with a heavy duty setting spray as after a few hours it starts to slowly disintegrate on the skin. To me it almost feels more like a thick bb cream than a proper foundation. When all my makeup is applied it does look ok so I have given this product 2 stars which is perhaps being a little generous.. overall definitely won’t be bothering to repurchase and don’t think I’d even recommend to anyone with drier skin types.
