I had a quick browse on Powder to lớn see if there’d been any new foundations released that I hadn’t yet heard about and check on whether the Bourjois Healthy set Serum Gel foundation was recommended as I thought it would be a good match, và what sort of coverage I could expect. A quick check confirmed my thoughts, so I drove into town lớn pop to lớn my local Boots & pick a bottle up. I chose the colour Light Vanilla (Vanille Clair) as it seemed lượt thích the best match for my fair skin.
The foundation is labelled as a 16 hour radiance booster that gives a revived and even complexion. It’s made from a vitamin-rich fruit therapy formula (containing litchi, goji berries and pomegranates) which helps khổng lồ smooth out the complexion leaving it looking even and refreshed & is available in six shades. The foundation is a gel formula & I’d say it’s a natural to medium coverage depending on how you apply it.

The đứng top few ingredients in the foundation are Aqua, Dimethicone and Cyclopentasiloxane – so water & silicones. This is how the formula gets it’s gel texture. Usually I’m really not a fan hâm mộ of silicones in my beauty products, after all, my skin was very oily before I started my Accutane treatment. However, since taking the tablets and noticing my skin drying out, I knew a silicone formula would be great to lớn glide over the dry areas without sticking.
First of all, the foundation smells really fresh – it really reminds me of another sản phẩm I’ve used in the past but I can’t for the life of me remember which it was. Secondly, the texture has a lot of slip to lớn it, so depending on what you use to apply it, you’ll need khổng lồ spend a little time working it in. I firstly tried the foundation on its own on vị trí cao nhất of my regular moisturiser using my damp beauty blender khổng lồ apply it. In all honesty, I really didn’t lượt thích how it applied khổng lồ my skin – it felt thin, watery & took some real working in khổng lồ get the coverage that I wanted. It also looked very wet on my skin which I really didn’t like. I enlisted the help of my Senior Chief Tester to lớn try it out too & she said exactly the same – thin, watery and hard lớn cover imperfections. Now, lớn be fair lớn the foundation, I am so used lớn a thicker, heavier coverage foundation, but still, I’ve used tinted moisturisers & the lượt thích in the past that I’ve much preferred.

I mix the super shiny bits of my face with my favourite Ben Nye Neutral Set and went about my day. The foundation creased like crazy under my eyes through the day but the rest of my face stayed intact và did look fresh for over 12 hours.

The next day, I decided lớn try using a pump of the foundation mixed with my regular MAC Studio Fix Fluid foundation và it was like a match made in heaven! It applied much better, the ‘wet’ appearance looked more lượt thích a healthy glow và it felt much nicer on my skin than it had done the day before. I also made sure not lớn take the foundation up to lớn my lower lash line & instead solely used my Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer there. Once again, my makeup lasted for over 12 hours with zero need for retouching.
Ever since I bought the foundation, I’ve worn it every single day and so far, it hasn’t let me down. From mega hot days running around Manchester & going to photo shoots, to working on bridal makeovers and walking the dogs, it has stayed well & truly put.
For you ladies that like a more natural coverage foundation that’s super hydrating, I’m sure you’d love this. It’s a great summer foundation and the smell will remind you of hot summery days too!
