Ready for my close-up..., 13 Dec. 2012

My skin is very dry so I mainly use a BB cream rather then foundation, but my skin rebels at this time of year so I need something with better coverage for work and parties. I came across Leichner CAMERA CLEAR foundation whilst browsing for a suitable foundation. I remember coming across it before and being tempted, but not getting it because trying to colour match it is a shot in the dark. However as it is so cheap I decided to just order the lightest shade [porcelain] and hope for the best.

When it arrived I was disappointed, as whilst the shade is nice and neutral, it looks a bit darker then what the shade name would suggest. However the creamy formula is so light and silky to apply, that blending it into the skin for a better colour match is easy. Once blended, the results are a smooth satin finish, with medium coverage (it can provide fuller coverage with layering).

I've found it to be transfer resistant, another plus. I've worn with a primer, without one,...

I swear by it!, 7 Sept. 2013

I love Leichner foundation - over the years I've tried foundations from many brands, many different formats, and many different price ranges, but I always go back to Leichner. It gives great coverage, and doesn't dry the skin out. I do find however, with my combination skin, I need to carry powder or blotting paper to keep shine at bay.If you are thinking of buying, be prepared for a thick formula. This is not one of those 'barely there' foundations, you will be able to feel it on the skin. My first experience with it was actually from my nan's make up kit! She swore by it all her life, but it should be clear from that story that we're not talking about the most modern formula here. If you like vintage style make-up, with a powder finish, you won't find a better foundation. If you like the modern, natural look, Leichner probably won't be for you.

Brilliant!, 15 Aug. 2012

I first used this back in the 60's and 70's when I was modelling and then it was much thicker. Now it is lovely and smooth, like whipped cream! Goes onto my mature skin perfectly, and doesn't sink into any lines and show them up! As I have dry skin it suits it down to the ground, but wouldn't be suitable for anyone who tends to have greasy panels. It lasts hours and unlike a lot of foundations that need to be completely removed before applying more, this can be re-applied without any problem. Great in the night light too, and in photographs it's extremely flattering. It isn't as dark as it looks in the pot, so that is something to bear in mind. A little goes a long way as well, so that's a bonus too. After spending a fortune on every foundation under the sun, I'm thrilled to bits to have found this one again, and so cheap - another bonus! It seems that there isn't such a generation gap after all - my teenage grandaughter who is always looking to see what make up I've bought, tried it...
