Not for older/oily/large pores

The formulation of this really is a shame. The colour and finish are beautiful but at only 23 years old it still settles into any teeny tiny line on your face and will generally make imperfections look much worse, regardless of primers. For me its okay if I'm going out a need something light for a short about of time but the staying power is terrible and on an oily skin this would be a disaster. For the price, definitely give it a go and I'm still glad I have this in my collection but not the wonder product some make it out to be.

Fab product, fair price
5 out of 5 stars
Absolutely love this. I have exceptionally pale slightly pink toned skin and I REALLY struggle to find foundations to match my skin. 1.0 p is perfect for me. I have very oily skin and always use this after the ordinary's primer. The coverage is excellent (a little goes a long way) and it stays where it's put for at least 12 hrs. I've seen other reviews that say it sits in fine lines but at 40 I have plenty of fine lines and I don't find I have that problem. Maybe it's because I always use their excellent primer first or maybe it's because I always use as little as possible. I don't like to look like I'm wearing makeup.

Ultimately best foundation I have ever ever ever tried. I usually use the Kevin Aucoin Sensual skin enhancer or Nars foundations that cost a fortune, and this is just so much better than those! Makes my skin look oh so natural and glowy! It really enhances your natural skin and just quietly covers any small imperfections! I have freckles on my nose, which I like that you can see, and this foundation really works nicely with my freckles, not erasing them! 10/10 would recommend and buy again and again!

This is not a foundation, just water with colour. Impossible to blend.

Good for the price

I bought 1.1N and 1.0N and I'm between a NC10 and NC15 in MAC. 1.1N is slightly too yellow for me - although not really noticeable when set and properly blended. However, be aware that "neutral" isn't really a true neutral - there are definitely noticeable yellow tones in there. As for wear, it's pretty good. Given the price, I expected it to be pretty average, so was pleasantly surprised. Be prepared to touch up during the day if you're wearing it for 8 hours though. It's very watery but applied fine and wasn't sliding all over the place, and I've worn it over the MAC prep + prime skin primer as well as BECCA backlight primer with no issues. It does settle into some fine lines (think forehead lines and the bits between your top lip and nose), but you can just go over them with a buff brush to even it out again. Some people mention breakouts but I haven't had any, and my skin is definitely temperamental sometimes. Didn't oxidise badly for me, although some people say that it did for them. Really easy to remove too and doesn't cling to your skin. It's worth the money if you're looking for a cheap foundation for off-duty days, or if you don't want heavy, full coverage. I like it for that reason! It does feel like your skin can breathe and it feels a lot more natural than the "mask" feel you can sometimes get with full coverage foundation. But if you want a foundation that will stay in place all day, this won't fit the bill. Given the price, it's worth a try, and it's not a huge loss if it's not right for you.
