Beautiful foundation
For anyone wanting a light dewy coverage but find tinted moisturiser a little too light then I’d thoroughly recommend this. I seem to have spent years finding a foundation that didn’t sit in the fine lines and appear mask like. Had this recommend to me about 5 years ago at the YSL counter in Debenhams and I’ve worn ever since. Wonderful for mature skin as it gives a lovely youthful glow. Can highly recommend.... Show more

Colour matched to look bright orange.
I was colour matched in a store when I was working away from home for a couple of days and had forgotten my make up. I expressly said I did not wish to change my skin tone. Looked fine under store lights and BRIGHT ORANGE under natural light. Pointless purchase with no chance of a refund as customer services will only discuss on line purchases and I would need to spend £12 and a two hour round trip to go INTO my nearest JL with no guarantee of a replacement or a refund. Manufacturers not interested stating fault with store.Stress, hassle and a fancy jar of make up I can't use, unless I be whisked away to Willy Wonkas chocolate factory to unionise the Oompa Loompas....

Flawless skin
So smooth. Easy application. I'm not an expert in makeup, but this is good. I apply with a sponge (blender) or fingertips and the finish is perfect either way. Covers pigmentation and blemishes. Light feeling. Doesn't looked caked on. I use the primer first and that makes a huge difference to the feel. Went to the beach and it was still on when I came home!... Show more

Great product, extreme shinkflation
Great product and service as you would expect from JL. However the product is considerably smaller than the previous bottle and I mean by a significant amount, but same price. I think they thought we might not notice because of the bottle referb.Still, this is a great foundation. Never leaves the skin crepey or dry and glides on with good coverage without looking overdone. Nice dewy glow and blends well.... Show more

I had forgotten how lovely this is
I used to use this foundation several years ago and loved it, but switched to a different brand when I tried a different foundation for my wedding day makeup that I really liked. However I decided to buy a new bottle of this recently after seeing an advert for it and remembering how much I used to like it. I’m really glad I did! It’s a great foundation, it’s lightweight with a good coverage. I think it makes my skin look really good and I have received several compliments since I started wearing it again. I think it’s a good all year round foundation and I also love the really good selection of shades which means you can find a really good colour match.... Show more

Lovely, but not perfect
Lovely foundation/cover/glow. Neutralises my face, and as I bought a shade SLIGHTLY warmer and darker than necessary it really does give off sun kissed, glowy vibes. Fresh and dewy finish with plenty of coverage without being a full on beast mode mask. It does oxidise however and if you layer it, it can become slippery on the skin. I often get the little itches around my nose when wearing foundation and spend the day patting it down - this product is no exception. The oddest thing however is I had a free sample first which I adored - it’s the actual product that has left me feeling flat? It’s lovely - but not infallible. I feel that it is better quality than no7s stay perfect that I used before, but I wouldn’t rank it above a thin layer of double wear in terms of ... MoreLovely foundation/cover/glow.

Not great for dry skin
I really wanted to love this foundation but unfortunately can't manage to make it work for me. My skin is relatively dry and despite proper skin prep, this tends to flake and highlight any slightly dry patches.Additionally, the shade was too orange for my skin so have found that I need to mix it with a cooler foundation in order to wear it out and about.However, the coverage is really excellent and the scent is lovely- it feels a real treat putting this on in the morning....

Routine foundation
This foundation is lightweight and contains the necessary SPF which does not clog up my pores. This is a stable product in my makeup routine. I would highly recommend if you have Oily skin or T-Zone as it sits lightly and I have never experienced any breakouts. Colour match is good for my Porcelain skin, and in the summer I buy a slightly darker tone (b20-b30). The bottle is a glass with a pump which gives you easy application if your using a brush or sponge. I prefer a sponge with this particular product. It is a premium foundation but you can find this comes on sale - with different brands I have been put off due to Silica as the ingredient causes me to have blemishes and spots where this does not contain it. I also love the smell - it has a slight perfume to the ... MoreThis foundation is lightweight and contains the necessary SPF which does not clog up my pores.

Strange shade range
I'll start with my biggest gripe with this foundation: the shade range. I can't really work it out. The shades don't seem to correlate with the other foundation shades from the brand e.g. I am a mixture of B05 and B10, but there doesn't seem to be a B05 so I can't find quite the right shade mix for me.The finish is medium and the kind that looks good if your skin is already pretty good. It is satin with a slight luminosity but never truly 'sets' on the skin. It feels like it sits on top and transfers very easily. I find I need to set it with powder but I've tried a few and it has caked every time on the chin and around the nose. It looks nice everywhere else. It just feels like a lot of hard work to get this to work and it's nothing special. Truly not worth the ... MoreI'll start with my biggest gripe with this foundation: the shade range.

Stunning
I was given a sample of this as i wanted a foundation that covers well but glowy. I usually use matte foundations but now in my mid fifties needed some glow in my face. This foundation is stunning, i knew straight away that I was going to love it. I'm using b20 and it's a good colour match for spring summer when I have a light to medium fake tan. It softens my whole makeup and doesn't look cakey. Will buy full size bottle along with Ysl primer, blusher, concealer and mascara . The whole shebang.... Show more
