Definitely one worth buying., 7 Jan. 2014

This foundation crème is light and glides on without clogging or streaking, dries off quickly and gives a matte finish to the skin. It has good coverage but doesn't obscure your skin's natural "blush" because it seems to be semi-translucent and a little goes a long way. The colour is good for mid-toned complexions like mine and gives a "warm" appearance without being yellow which I appreciate in the winter months when my skin goes very pale. It is non-oily but doesn't dry out the skin especially if worn over a light moisturiser. It gives quite good coverage of skin blemishes and dark rings under the eyes, too, at least as good as any of the BB creams I have tried. So far I have tried two colours - 55 Beige and this one and I would say that 75 Golden is slightly pinker. Both, however, are great for skins like mine that aren't peaches and cream pink. I can certainly recommend this product.

Fantastic, 2 Mar. 2015

I am very pale skinned, so buy this in light ivory which is perfect for me and does not make me look orange or ghostly. Having dry skin I did have some concerns that this wouldn't be great for me, especially having used Maybelline's mousse foundation in the past which I thought looked similar and used to cling to my dry skin. As it is, it goes on lovely, no streaks, no clinging to the dry patches (although I do moisturise first) and looks natural. If you need heavy coverage then I would say this is not great - it only gives a light cover and my dark circles and any blemishes show through - otherwise, I think it is fantastic and will continue to buy it.

Eureka, I've Found It!, 29 Jan. 2014

I think I've found the perfect daily foundation for my skin. Of course this won't necessarily suit all skin types and as I get older my own skin texture and hydration levels will change but for the last few weeks I've not had to worry about my face matching the grey and dreary weather.

I am quite pale with sensitive, combination skin which is prone to acne rosacea so finding a suitable foundation can be an onerous task. Beauty therapists often try to persuade me to purchase expensive hydrating foundations to give me a "dewy" finish - I end up looking like an oil slick instead. The medium coverage I achieve with this foundation is demi-matte, not too shiny and not too drying either. It is the consistency of whipped cream (funnily enough) and a little goes a long way so this pot will last a long, long time. I like a light dusting of translucent powder on top if I'm using powder blusher but otherwise, for once in my life, I embrace the semi-matteness of it all - very...
