Advantages: cheap and works well
Disadvantages: not many shades
I bought this foundation from Wilkinsons where it only cost me a fiver, which I think is a great price. Some of my friends pay about £30 for their foundations and I don't see why they do, because you can get much cheaper ones that work just as well. I have tried more expensive foundations like Clinique and I didn't see what was so good about them. I personally prefer brands like Max Factor and Rimmel. I think they look better on my skin.
This wouldn't work as well on oily skin types because it is a liquid foundation and I've heard you should try mousse foundations for oily skin and liquid foundations for dry skin. My skin is dry/normal. I always find that liquid foundations stay on for longer and mousse foundations seem to wear off throughout the day, or night and especially when I do exercise or go out in the rain/swimming.
I bought this in the shade soft beige. There aren't that many different shades so you may find it difficult to get a shade that matches your skin. The shade I got is perfect for my skin and suits me really well, I was worried because I didn't test it before I went to buy it but I shouldn't have been worried because it is the right shade. Anyway I wasn't that worried with it only costing a fiver LOL!
I have worn this all day and then gone out to the pub at night and it was still on fine when I got home, and in fact I've worn it all day and then gone to sleep and not taken it off before bed, and it still looks OK the next morning, so it is long lasting. It comes off easily enough with make up wipes, or just by washing my face with warm water and face wash.
The bottle contains enough for about two or three months worth. I am on my second bottle now and my first one lasted just about three months. My friends have borrowed this off me a few times though to be fair, this just goes to show that it must be a good foundation as they seem to keep pinching it off me!
Well when I run out I'll probably get another bottle of the same and I would definitely recommend this, it is such a bargain I can't believe how cheap it is because it really does work! So, recommended.
Summary: Recommended
