This product comes in a no-nonsense plastic tube. Simple, with a black screw top. On the back it describes which finish, wear time, coverage and texture relate to that product, which is very helpful if you’re looking at the range in a store. I didn’t read it before I tried the product (you don’t consult the map until you’re lost, right?). If I had, I would’ve noticed it said ‘radiant finish, 24 hours wear, medium coverage, and air-light texture’. And I would’ve been very happy with those claims.
So, the product colour I chose is creamy natural, which is ideal for my skin tone, which is light/medium, my skin type which is dry, and my complexion which is uneven but not overly so. It is kind-of pale brown and you can see it through the tube. The product is surprisingly thin. As I was applying it I was struck by how light it is and how much like CC cream the finish is. I use CC cream and usually tinted foundation every day, as I like to keep things as light as possible and that combination works well. I do use foundation for various occasions though. And I do sometimes just use CC cream if I’m not going too far that day. I found that this foundation covers both CC cream and tinted foundation in one so I can use it alone. The coverage isn’t heavy, so wouldn’t cover a lot of major blemishes, but that’s fine by me as it is perfectly able to cover my skin imperfections. I dot it on my face, as recommended on the pack, and roll it around with my beauty blender, for a smooth finish.The finish is radiant, as per the product claim.
I would say this foundation is ideal for anyone to use, but may be particularly suitable for young skin that doesn’t require heavy coverage, and mature skin that often looks unnatural under heavy foundation. But having said that, it really is ideal for anyone who likes or requires a light to moderate coverage and who likes the finish of a face that started with CC cream.
It lasts me all day at work, so 7am until 5.30pm, but I wash my face when I get home so don’t know how much longer it would last. It is as easily removed as any other foundation. I use a cleanser and wipes and it doesn’t leave any trace on my skin.
Another positive is that it is SPF15 rather than no SPF which is usual for the products I normally use. I really like it!
$40 is certainly a fair price for this product. I’ve found some great foundations via BR over the years, but this one is amongst the best for my skin colour and type, because of its lightness and the ‘CC’effect. I highly recommend it.
I was so looking forward to the arrival of this product ,it’s so hard to choose a new foundation in the shops and I often end up with one that just isn’t right for me .
I love loreal products in general so was hoping it lived up to my expectations . And wow it exceeded them .
Certainly ticks all my boxes .,and why I’ve rated it so high .
I loved the size of the tube ,so easy to slip into your handbag . It’s a lovely thin liquid ,not thick and glucky ,so easy to apply . At first I thought the colour might be a little light even for my pale complexion ,but that wasn’t the case ,once I blended it ,it was actually the best match I’ve ever found for my skin tone .
And yes it did give my skin a nice healthy glow to it .coverage was listed as moderate ,however it covered all my imperfections just fine .
I am very impressed with this foundation and have decided to change from my existing one .
Price wise it is reasonable too ,I’ve yet to see how it wears during the day ,but I can come back and let you know . I would highly recommend this to all my female friends and family . It is a must have for me . Thank you for this opportunity ,it had allowed me to finally find the right foundation for me .
I also love it has a SPF factor a plus In my books .
Tips: I found you don’t actually need a lot to get good coverage ,as it glides on and blends in very well ,so use it sparingly .
