This foundation really is a bit of a treat, not just because of the luxury price tag (£28.50 for 30ml) but because it’s a fabulous product and just feels special. The packaging has its pros and cons. On the one hand I love the heavy frosted glass. It looks and feels weighty and expensive. The pump is hygienic and makes it easy to squeeze out just enough product so there is no waste. I find one and a half pumps is all I need for reasonably high coverage. On the other hand the weight and glass mean that you wouldn’t want to travel with it.
The formula is quite thin and runny and it blends easily. I have the lightest shade (010 Ivory) which is a pretty good match for my super pale skin. This shade does pull ever so slightly yellow but not noticeably so on my neutral toned skin. Unlike some of the other long wear foundations I have it sets to a very natural satin finish rather than a heavy matte one. It looks fantastic but doesn’t do much to control oil production so I do set it with an oil control powder. It does last the work day as long as I set it and doesn’t seems to disintegrate when my skin does inevitably get oily.
The coverage is medium to high depending on how much you apply, certainly not as much as things like Revlon Color Stay but high enough for me. I wouldn't reccommend it for picture taking as the SPF 25 may cause ghost face. For me this foundation is absolutely worth every penny and I’d happily buy it again x
