Towards the end of last year I was on the hunt for the perfect drugstore foundation for everyday use.
I had been using my
MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NW15 for everyday use as I'm so in love with it, however I was looking for a more affordable solution for everyday wear.
I paid a visit to Boots and spent a good amount of time in there (as you do!) looking at all the foundation options. I ended up purchasing two Bourjois foundations as they were on a 2 for £15 or something like that (can't remember the amount of money sorry!), but individually it's usually £10.99. I purchased the
Bourjois Happy Light foundation in No 51 Rose Vanilla and also the
Bourjois 123 Perfect foundation in No 51 Light Vanilla.
I have tried them both out and I'm just about finished the Happy Light foundation, however I must say my favourite of the two is the 123 Perfect foundation.
It claims to give a
'Flawless complexion, even to perfection' and I'd totally agree! It has medium coverage, I usually have to put a bit of concealer on those pesky spots and under my eyes, but I really do believe it gives me a flawless finish which isn't too matte or too dewy - just a nice happy medium.
The great thing about this is it doesn't budge all day, my shade is pretty light and I love to pop on a flush of blusher and it gives a really fresh looking complexion. On top of all that it has a handy pump - what's not to love?
What's your go-to everyday foundation?

ReplyDeleteYeah it's the worst, especially if you haven't packed any make up essentials with you for the day. This one seems to be fuss-free which is a bonus!
DeleteThank you for sending your blog to the Blogging Gals Community!
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to try the Bourjois foundations, will definitely be giving them a try now! My favourite foundation has to be Smashbox Studio Skin. I have yet to find my favourite drugstore.
