Dermacol - Full Coverage Matte Foundation with SPF 30, Waterproof Foundation for Oily Skin, Acne, & Under Eye Bags, Long-Lasting Makeup, 30g - Shade 221

I was hesitant to buy foundation online without having sampled it in a shop. I usually want to ensure it's a good colour match and I like the texture etc. given that it was about a third in price of what I usually pay, I went ahead and bought 2 as I couldn't decide on the shade. I tried it today for the first time and I was initially unsure. I sampled it first and it was really thick, so thought it would feel greasy and heavy on my skin - but I was wrong! The tube was smaller than expected, but a little goes a long way! I used a fraction of what I'd usually use. It blends well, and the coverage is amazing! I'm 53 so have fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots and uneven skin tone. I wanted good coverage but for it not to feel like a mask. This far exceeded my expectations! Both shades just seemed to match my skin really well and stayed put all day with no top ups or powder required. Once dry, you don't feel you're wearing any foundation and leaves your skin nice to touch with absolutely no transfer - even on a white shirt! I never upload reviews with images but I was so impressed with this, I wanted to tell everyone to buy this! It's a game changer. I will not be paying £40+ again for well known brands - I'll definitely be buying this. The price is great but it's not the reason I'll buy again, it's for the quality and performance. I'm not great at makeup, so ignore any issues you identify- but here's a pic of earlier today, no filters and in natural light. Not a dark spot in sight! Love it

Bought to cover tattoos - AMAZING! Only a small amount covers them so easily, super waterproof - will be buying again in future (also smells really good)

Little goes a long way and you can’t get anymore “full coverage” than this. 4 stars because it easily runs onto fabric so you must use a fixing spray!! It’s so much hassle to get out of clothes because it also has an oily texture (not visible on your face) as well as the strong pigment.

Very good coverage for only a small amount of usage. Recommend setting powder to finish it. Won’t rub off easily.

I've wanted to try this foundation for a while as its full coverage i've seen the videos of it covering tattoos etc and i have acne scars i like to cover.This foundation is definitely full coverage however it just didn't work for my skin type. I'm 39 with combination skin and unfortunately this product didn't sit well on my skin. It did cover up my acne scars and uneven skin tone but it seems to highlight every other flaw such as bumps and fine lines. I think it dries the skin out but if .you try moisturiser underneath it it turns greasy and leaves you with a shiny face no matter how much powder you set it with. The positives are that a lot goes a long way you only need a small amount to cover the face and it blended really well, glad i tried it but I wont be buying again.

Good coverage but colour too pale. Stains everything that comes into contact with it. Doesn't dry not good value for money ey.

Wow .. this works, and took 30 seconds using only a bean sized amount .I’m genuinely shocked , and had to share , first time I’ve left a review with a pic . This is good stuff

Could work as a cheap foundation, although there are better ones on the market with greater staying power.Like a few other users, I must note that this will not cover your dark tattoos, they will still be visible underneath - so don't expect a miracle. At best, you will see a muted version underneath.The product never fully dries down. It will transfer onto your clothes, furniture, and anything else. This is even after setting with setting powder, or pattting dry in-between layers.Finally, I purchased the lightest shade, which was a perfect shade match until it oxidised to a more yellowy-orange around the edges where it did manage to somewhat dry.Altogether, this isn't something I can recommend.
