Boots No7 Colour Calming Make-Up Base

The skin on my face tends to be quite red and I am always looking for ways to make it less noticeable. I have previously used concealer sticks, which were green in colour, the idea being that the green should neutralise the red in your skin tone. They never really worked for me, but still I decided to try No.7's colour calming make-up base that works on the same principle, but comes in the form of a cream rather than a stick. ~Packaging~ This comes in a squeezable tube with a screw top lid, which it stands on. The colour of the tube is a pale mint green, very similar to the colour of the product inside. The design of the packaging is very plain and ...  Read the complete review

After conplaining for days on end to my mother about my exceedingly red nose (no I'm not rudolf and nor was I perpetually drunk at the time!), she dug around in her make up bag and presented me with a green tube called No 7 Colour Calming Make up Base. I have heard of the idea of combatting redness with green (being as they are complimentary colours, on opposite sides of the colour wheel) so I was up for giving it a try.

Hmmm, I don't think ...  Read the complete review

I don't usually wear a lot of make up during the day, but when I go out on a night out I do make a real effect with my make up, and I am usually really rosy in the face when I am getting ready,normal because I am rushing about and feeling hot and flustered. It doesn't take much to make my cheeks go rosy red and they seem to take ages to calm down, so putting foundation on top of rosy skin is a bit difficult and the results are not great. I was in Boots one day and I needed two items from the No 7 range, and I realised that the range was on 3 for 2, so I might as well get another product for free.There was nothing I could think of that I really needed, when ...  Read the complete review

The previous review by Pink Glitter gives an excellent overview of this product. I would therefore only like to add my experience of this product. I don't wear a lot of make up but that I do is usually No7. I find the No7 range to be good quality, reasonably priced and has an excellent range. It is therefore with some sadness that I have to give this product a terrible review! When buying my usual purchases from No7 I decided to make the most of a 3 for 2 offer and buy something I wouldn't normally get. I chose the Colour Calming Make-Up Base as I sometimes get a little pink in the face. I am very fair skinned and if I get to much of the sun I ...  Read the complete review
