Natural Collection Foundation

**WHAT IT DOES**

It is a foundation, which will cover up blemishes and even out your skin tone. It is a medium cover foundation and won't cake up your skin like some foundations do. It is suitable for normal and combination skin.

**PACKAGING**

It comes in a small plastic tube, which is see-through, and on the front there is the Natural Collection logo with what looks like a daisy in the middle. It also tells you that it is a colour foundation. On the back in brown writing there is a brief description on the product and it tells you the ingredients. The lid is see-through and very durable, it could withstand being knocked around in a bag or being dropped. It has a click open and close lid and you have to squeeze the tube to get the foundation out.

**INGREDIENTS**

Here is a list of the ingredients these would be useful if you are allergic to anything:

Aqua, Ethylhexyl stearate, Butylene glycol, Dimethicone, Steareth-21, Cetearyl alcohol, Steareth-2, Cetyl alchol, Talc, Panthenol, PEG-20 stearate, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, (+/- Cl 77891, Cl 77492, Cl 77491, Cl 77499.)

The product is fragrance-free which is great for people who have sensitive skin. The product is dermatologically tested.

**PRODUCT**

The product is for people who have normal/combination skin, which is most people. I have sensitive skin and have found this product great, as it doesn't irritate my skin or leave me with red blotches. It comes in 5 different shades (Porcelain, Sand, Biscuit, Honey and Almond) so you are sure to find a colour, which will best suit your skin tone. When choosing your foundation colour pick one that naturally matches your skin tone by testing on your jaw line. Fix using pressed or loose powder.

DIRECTIONS: Make sure you have cleaned your face accordingly. Then add a small blob of the foundation to your fingertip. Apply to different areas of your face in small amounts and rub in making sure it is even and not caked on. Once you have finished apply pressed or loose powder to even it out.


**MY EXPERIENCE**

I think this product is great as it gives you a natural look but covers up uneven skin tone or blemishes. It doesn't leave you with that horrible orange tinge (like you have been tangoed!) which I think is fantastic as I don't like that look at all. In fact you would hardly know you were wearing makeup, it is so light to wear on your face and it actually evens out your skin tone. It gives your skin a slight glow if it is dull. The foundation is very creamy so it is easily rubbed in and evened out. It costs £1.99 and this was the main reason why I purchased this foundation in the first place, as it was a lot cheaper than other brands. I really think it was worth the money as it is just as good as the foundations, which are more expensive, in fact maybe better because it doesn't cake up. If you are on a budget or not I really think you should give this foundation a go!

Summary: Should try it out whatever budget you have!
