Perhaps my primer was wrong, I’ve been using the Mecca primer. This just went a little patchy on my skin - perhaps I’m too oily.

Definately a heavy foundation and you can tell you have foundation on but it stays on all day. I have combination skin and don't feel like it makes dry patches look worse but it is very matte. I also go back to this foundation though as need something to stays on all day
Tips: It looks alot better on my skin when I use a hydrating primer on under
So happy to have found this.... I'm a cool undertone and the 1C1 cool bone shade is perfect. The coverage is great and really does last all day, feels light!
I have heard so many great reviews of this foundation and I'm so glad I finally tried it. Great coverage without being too heavy. I thought it would be drying but it wasn't at all. Skin felt so good. I have combination skin. I tried shade pebble, it covered my redness really well and still looked natural. Will try fresco for winter shade.
Overall I was disappointed with this product. My main issue with it is that I bought it in the second lightest cool toned shade by I end up with this orange tint that does not suit me at all. Not sure if this is oxidation or just a bad colour. It's not the first light cool toned foundation that has given me this problem. Another thing I dislike about it is that I'd heard this foundation "looks like skin" but this was the opposite experience for me. Up close my skin looked cakey and oily (more oily than if I wasn't wearing this) and unnatural even when applying medium coverage with acne scars still visible. The only time I ever wear this foundation is on a night out where the lighting is dim. This is the only time I can get away with the orange tint and the oily/cakey look. Also, this product is very difficult to remove. I struggled to remove it with 2 different makeup removes one being my trusty micellar water. Removing this requires lots of cotton pads, makeup remover, and then a thorough cleanse with a good cleanser. I will say this product is definitely water resistant and transfer resistant. And finally, although this product says it is non acnegenic this is misleading as it is comedogenic. Gives me breakouts after I use it. :// And so I barely ever use it now. Waste of money on such an expensive foundation that so many people have raved about.
Tips: You don't need to buy the pump, just tip out a little at a time.
I was a little disappointed with this foundation. Applying it with a brush left my skin very dry and cakey looking. I applied it next time with a damp beauty blender and this was helpful. After couple of weeks using this foundation I was breaking out a lot around my cheeks and my skin was very red and dehydrated. I don't have particularly sensitive skin so I was surprised at the way my skin was reacting. The staying power of this Foundation is very good. I would still use this for the odd occasion I need a full and long lasting coverage but it is definitely not something I would reach for on a daily basis or for regular use. Wouldn't recommend for dry or sensitive skin at all.
I wouldn’t use this as an everyday foundation, just because it’s so expensive and I went through the bottle very quickly! However, I’ve also managed to find far cheaper foundations that offer similar quality
I have used this foundation daily for years now. I have have very red cheeks & could never find a foundation that had great coverage/lasted. I use the powder aswell and they both last me months!
Tips: Purchase from farmers at gift time & get the free make up bag & extra goodies! (Usually stock up & buy 2 foundations or a foundation & powder!) Set for months!
Love how this double wear feels when it's on I feel like a new me..it gives me that coverage i need and not only that it's long lasting.
Tips: Apply with beauty blender
Love this foundation! I love that not only can I rely on it to go the distance, stand up to humidity and exercise, but it also can be made more sheer or a fuller coverage depending on how it s applied. I’ve used this for many years and it’s always my number one go to.
Tips: I like to apply it with a damp sponge, set lightly with loose powder, then a wee spritz of rose water to bring back the slight ‘glow’.
