“I’ll put it out there: I really don’t like foundation. Not because I don’t like the way it makes me look but because I hate the way it feels on my skin. I almost always wear skin tints over foundations, and because this stuff promised to be a blend of the two, I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt.
“First of all, can I just say that I really love the packaging? The fact it’s totally recyclable is brilliant because I hate having to chuck pump foundations in the general rubbish bin. The little spatula is also brilliant for scooping foundation out of the bottle. Second, I’m a huge fan of the natural, fresh scent—it really brings a sense of zen to my morning routine.
“I tried shade Medium 1W, which was a little dark for me, but that’s how I like it. The formula and finish are both good. In fact, considering this is a high-street foundation, they’re really good. Medium coverage that freshens and soothes the skin as you apply it? What’s not to love?! I hate matte foundation (putting it out there), and this is sheer enough that it lets your natural glow shine through but delivers just enough coverage that general pigmentation is blurred. It didn’t totally cover my acne scarring, but I can’t say I wanted it to. As a foundation cynic, will I wear this every day? Probably not. I’d rather just stick to concealer where I need it. But will it be my go-to for days when I do want a little something extra? You better believe it.”
