Bourjois foundation - opinion needed.

Oh this is my favorite foundation! It's so fresh and natural looking! the coverage is light but really nice!
On my skin it's like the safe bet, I know it will always look good, but indoor recommend setting it with a little bit of powder :)

I use my flat top kabuki brush to apply this foundation!

It's a nice foundation,light on skin. it didn't break me out. But as Sabrina said it's not a full coverage foundation. I apply it using a make up sponge or my fingers.

Thank you both! light coverage is what I was aiming for! what is the finish? is it more on the dewy side? I remembered someone raving about it but could not remember who and now I think it was you Sabrina!

Hehe it might have been I really love it!! Yes I would say it's lightly dewy - very natural looking!

I'm so glad I bought it, it seems to be all I'm looking for!

Let me know how you like it :) I also use the Healthy Balance powder, you might like that one as well :) It sets my makeup but without maki is me super flat matte!

I'll let you know for sure! I'll put it on later today :D and thanks for the powder suggestion, is it from Bourjois also?

Sabrina K.

Yes it's the setting powder for their Healthy line! It's really nice!
When I go back to the UK I'm definitely trying more from the Bourjois line!

Sabrina K.

That foundation looks flawless on you!! It's just soo good right! And the color is a perfect match!

I'm so,glad because when I tried the sample on my hand, I thought it was a little to yellow toned but it's amazing against my more red skin! ans yes that healthy concealer really works amazingly over the foundation!

I like it but my acne prone oily skin doesn't and at first I broke out a lot , eventually my skin got used to it and has gone back to normal and I don't break out as much I like how the foundation blends in and how the colour adapts to my skin tone however it wasn't full coverage :(

Best day wear foundation.. I like buffing it with buffing brushes or kabuki brushes or just a regular foundation sponge

@sabrina.. I remember using their mascara. I don't remember the name exactly but it was for volume a dark pink and black tube. I loved it too.

@genevieve.. the finish is dewy but after about half an hour it becomes more dewy on my combination skin.

I really love the foundation! it wasn't that dewy on me but super natural. it looked good all day. I'm very happy :)

Feb 29, 2016

Sabrina K.

Parnika thank you I will see if I can find that one :)

Genevieve it's nope super dewy on me either, just a slight dewy glow :) I just think it's all about how your skin is! But I'm so happy to hear that you love it :)

Thanks Genevieve for sharing good product with your experience. I am also looking for a good foundation with natural looking. I have extremely oily skin. do you recommend this foundation for such type skin? if I'm not wrong you have also used Maybelline fit me foundation ( sorry if I am wrong) which one I good between both foundations for oily skin?

Alia I never used the fit me, I haven't used a lot,of foundation but so far, I tried:
- L'Oreal true match Lumi cushion
- Lancome 24h idole ultra
- Rimmel stay mate mousse
- Bourjois serum foundation.

I used to have combination skin (normal with oily patch) and my Rimmel stay matte was my everyday go to. When I felt fancy I went for the Lancome one. Since my skin is aging (30 years old ouch!) my skin is now normal with dryer patch. therefore, the Cushion foundation which gives me a very dewy look was my favorite. Now that I try the Bourjois one, it is exactly the finish that I want, a little dewy but very natural.
I don't know if it would work with your oily skin, maybe you could try to get a sample and maybe mix it with a mattifying primer if it's not working well?
