Advantages: Nice consistency, provides good coverage.

Disadvantages: Not great for sensitive, blemish prone skin.

I find it really difficult to find a good foundation as I have quite sensitive skin. Unfortunately this one wasn't for me as it still made me break out, but I thought I'd share my experience as it might be useful for some people!

- Coverage -

The foundation gives a very good matt coverage. The consistency is thick and smooth and it is very easy to apply to the skin. If you get the correct colour to match your skin it won't leave you with lines around the neck area as it does blend very nicely to the skin even with the thickness.

- Claims -

The claims are that the foundation will last for 16 hours. Well it definitely does last well for the first few hours but it does begin to fade after about 5 hours. So this is great for a working day but I definitely need to touch up the foundation if I was going out after work.

- Any good for sensitive skin? -

Where the consistency is quite thick it did clog my pores and if I didn't remove it thoroughly it would make be break out the next day. I guess the thickness of the foundation is to try and make it last the 16 hours but as someone with sensitive skin I won't be buying again.

- Packaging -

The foundation comes in a glass bottle with a pump applicator. I have found that the pump applicator sometimes gets air bubbles in it so I'll be pumping away and nothing will come out then... splurt... it will all come out all at once all over my duvet!

- Cost -

I bought the foundation in Boots for £10.49 (which is the full price). I have seen it online since ranging from £4.99 to £7.49 so a much better deal!

I do think that this is a good foundation providing good coverage but isn't great if you have sensitive skin prone to spots.

Summary: A very good foundation for normal skin, not for those sensitive types though!
