Bourjois Healthy Mix Anti-Fatigue Medium Coverage Liquid Foundation 5 Rose Ivory, 30ml

I used to use Bourjois in the past but then it simply disappeared. I saw it on Amazon and bought a few pieces and I must say they did not disappoint. This definitely rivals Charlotte Tilbury foundation without the hefty price tag. When you put it on you can immediately tell it’s high end makeup as it goes on velvety and smooth. I would say this is very lightweight and reminds me more of skincare than makeup. It’s not full coverage but more of a dewy finish lightweight skin tint. My skin felt so hydrated it was like I had a rich lotion on it and the color match was perfect. Definitely not for the full coverage matte girls but would be perfect for a sheer dewy coverage look.

I have dry, sensitive, acne prone skin with a light-medium (depending on the month) skintone and yellow/warm undertones. I will start off by saying that this the first Bourjois foundation I have tried, so I cannot compare this to the old formula or to the healthy mix serum. I have been on the hunt for my "holy grail" foundation for a while now, and have tried numerous. From revlon, maybelline, loreal, physicians formula, clinique, and so on; nothing has been able to work with my sensitive skin or match my skin/undertone. After browsing blogs and beauty forums, I decided to try Bourjois because it kept popping up and I have had yet to hear a negative review on it. And I am so glad that I purchased it! I am in love with foundation. I got the shade 52-vanilla (which I wish was a little more yellow toned, but I can work with it) and will probably order the next shade up in 53-light beige to accommodate my summer complexion. This is amazing! It is so easy to blend and build up coverage where you want, without it looking cakey. It doesn't smell like a typical foundation, but has a slight perfume scent to it. It feels like you are wearing nothing at all, and made me look like I had a glow from within. I did set it with a translucent powder, and it stayed on all day! This is definitely a light-medium coverage foundation with a semi matte finish, but it looks so natural. It has yet to break me out, and does not accentuate my dry patches. I will most definitely be using this as my go to, every day foundation and would recommend this to anyone!!

I have dry skin, so far this doesn't cling to dry patches. My skin looks fresh and it stays on all day. I wish it had alittle more coverage it's around light to medium and is buildable. Covers redness well, I usually try to build it up on my redness areas to avoid using concealer. I also have sensitive skin and I haven't noticed this breaking out my skin.

I wasn’t expecting this to be a super star foundation, but it performs very well for my mature, dry skin.It goes on liquidy and sets fairly quickly. I applied with a brush and then dabbed on some more with a sponge in some problem areas. The coverage is really great - a good medium. The finish is radiant with some glow but not overly so. I love that it kind of floated over my pores and didn’t settle into lines and textured skin. I only powdered my nose as that’s the area that tends to get shiny rather quickly. My nose didn’t get shiny until almost 8 hours of wear and even then, I could blot with a tissue and the foundation didn’t come off. This is also the only foundation that doesn’t transfer on to my eyeglasses. It’s the only foundation that almost looks better as the day goes on but still stays in place. For my mature skin, I either get moisturizing that doesn’t last long or long lasting but super drying. This foundation held up nicely throughout the day and I could see the color come off in my sponge when I washed my face at night.So far really liking this drug store foundation. I like it so well that it might be tied for HG status with Koh Gen Do Moisture foundation.I only wish that we could get the .5 colors in the US as they run more pink. I use the 52 Light Vanilla which is neutral enough to match my cool toned coloring.

I have acne, and severe scar tissue from it. My under eyes are medium dark. I have a huge bright red birth mark on my nose. This hid it all very well. It didn't agitate my acne. I used it with each of these products and this is how they did:Bobby Brown base- excellent combo for dry skin days.Maybelline baby skin: helped pores smooth out, this combo does not last long because this is a silicone base primer. Using a silicone base primer with this fondation will make excellent photos,but not for more than 2 hour wear.Ulta Matte primer: same as maybelline baby skinTwofaced primer: worked well together for 8 hours, touch up needed for oily skin in the middle of that.No primer: If you apply a light lotion before it goes on it spreads evenly and last without setting spray 4 hours. With any setting spray way longer.No lotion or primer: works well on oily parts, clings to dry patches.The tarte shape tape fondation applies well over it, but not under it.For oily skin I'd use a translucent powder to set with a setting spray and your good all day.For dry skin I'd recommend a hydrating setting spray and hydrating primer. I like pixie glow mist as a setting spray and primer on dry skin days.Do not use vitamin c serum under this because it will oxidize weird, its true to its color and is a satin finish.

It is more dense that I was expecting. And a little orange color for me

It makes skin looks healthy. Coverage is medium but even darker spots dont look awful. I fell in love with this brand when I lived in Europe and it was a really good product for every day, not heavy makeup, that would give that boost of a good look and vitamins for dull skin.DOES NOT SET in fine lines or look cakey. gets a little runny at the end of the day, so it has to be set with the powder if you have oily T-zone. It is not so popular in the US, but back in Europe it is very popular. I always have one top shelf foundation like Yves Saint Laurent and one middle shelf like this one. I like full coverage, but this foruma really makes up for not being full coverage. I find it better then many of popular fancy ones.
