caitlin2326: Bourjois 123 Perfect Foundation

Bourjois 123 Perfect Foundation in Light Vanilla

"Bourjois 1.2.3. Perfect Foundation gives a flawless even complexion for 16hrs, thanks to a new generation formula. 3 correcting pigments for zero imperfections: Yellow pigments: Anti dark circles. Mauve pigments: Anti dull complexion. Green pigments: Anti redness." Boots.

I purchased this Bourjois foundation when I was on the search for a higher coverage foundation for my prom make up. It was on offer in Boots so I couldn't resist trying it out!

As you can see, the packaging is convenient and quite informative. The foundation is dispensed using a pump which makes it easy to control how much you need.

I'd describe the texture of this foundation to be soft, easy to blend and runny. It has an amazing fruity scent which doesn't linger when on the skin. To get an even coverage on my face, I use about 1-2 pumps of this on the back of my hand and apply with my fingers. I then go over with my foundation brush to make sure it is blended down my neck and around my nose. It gives a medium coverage which makes the redness on my skin disappear! I have bad dark circles and this didn't give as much coverage on them as I'd like, so I always use concealer too. I'd agree with the anti-dull claims as I found this foundation makes my skin look healthier.

If you have dry skin I'd suggest moisturising before you apply this foundation as I found it clings to dry patches.

When used with my primer and powder, it lasted the whole day until I take my make up off on a night. It claims to give you a "flawless complexion for up to 16 hours" which I am unfortunately not going to put to the test because I never wear my make up for 16 hours at a time!
