Bourjois Healty Mix Serum Light Coverage Liquid Foundation 52 Vanilla, 3ml

I had read good reviews in magazines and here about this foundation and wanted to try one with a lighter coverage coming into summer rather than my full coverage Estee Lauder Double Wear I used to typically wear during the winter months. I was aware about the connection of Bourjois and Chanel and had seen some videos on YouTube where this was named as an excellent dupe for the Chanel Vitalumiere and have to admit was intrigued by this. The makeup artists I watched on YouTube talking about this subject were saying that the Bourjois and Chanel products are actually made in the same factory using similar ingredients, the difference being that although similar the Bourjois brand will have cheaper ingredients than the Chanel, but both are formulated the same which is why I guess the Bourjois foundation is such a great dupe to the Chanel one. I had previously tried a sample size of the Chanel V and loved the finish it gave my skin, but as is typical with most of the Chanel foundations I've tried I get a slight allergic reaction to them so have never bought a fill size Chanel foundation.I would describe my skin as normal/dry although dehydrated would be a more appropriate description as I don't suffer dry or flaky patches but my skin will feel tight after washing and parched throughout the day no matter how much water I drink, and believe me, I drink loads!! 😊 I was drawn mostly to buying this because of the skincare properties and serum base in this foundation, thinking that would help with keeping my skin feel moisturised whilst wearing this. I find this foundation to be a light to medium coverage (totally buildable though) depending on how I apply it. I've found I prefer applying it with a buffing brush, it definitely gives that finish of "like your skin, only better" and during the summer months I like that my few freckles on my nose can still be seen and it gives my skin that overall healthy glow and looks more like a tint than a foundation as such yet it evens out my skin tone but still manages to give a flawless, dewy look. The gel texture actually feels quite nice and makes this foundation very easy to blend. My skin also tends to be quite sensitive to certain ingredients but I have had no reaction or breakouts using this foundation and feels like I'm wearing nothing on my face, has that perfect lightweight feel that I enjoy in the Spring and Summer seasons. The added serum has also contributed immensely to my skin feeling hydrated and doesn't feel parched and tight during the day. It has excellent staying power with my skin type...I don't need to touch up during the day although I can't comment on how it would perform for those with oily/combination skin although as its non greasy in look and texture, I'd imagine with a light dusting of powder it should perform well?!I have enjoyed using this foundation, it feels a quality product, I like the glass bottle and the pump dispenser is a major bonus for hygienic reasons. I will be phasing out my full coverage foundation now when Winter comes to an end and I am looking forward to buying this again and renewing my love for it, I would definitely recommend anyone reading this to try this out, it gives a beautiful, natural looking finish to your skin especially if you are wanting to try a light to medium coverage foundation. I can't speak highly enough about this product. 😊

Amazing foundation! This has a natural lightweight finish and adds a lit from within glow to your skin. It is comfortable to wear and doesn't clog pores or cause breakouts. I am an NC25 in MAC and Bourjois Light Beige 53 is a perfect match for my light to medium skintone with yellow undertones. Love this foundation so much and I would recommend it to everyone, I make it work with my combination skin type by dusting with a bit of translucent powder after application. I regularly wear Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua and this is a great dupe of that formula. I first heard about this from watching Lisa Elderidge's makeup tutorials and she really raves about using it as a light base and then spot covering problem areas with concealer. Another plus point is that it comes with a convenient pump on the bottle so no mess either :)

This is the nicest foundation I have ever used that is affordable. (The only one I prefer is Laura Mercier silk creme but it has a hefty price tag).Me and my mum both adore this foundation it just smooths over so beautifully because of the gel-like formula and it just makes my skin look really healthy and fresh and not thick in foundation. It's not too heavy but it still covers my redness and most blemishes.It really is an amazing foundation and highly recommend it to anyone who will listen.

Buying this foundation for 4 years now. As I have oily skin and break outs, needed a product that would offer coverage and same time not too heavy or block my pores. This one allows my skin to breathe, very gentle and covers everything needed. Even without using any powders it does not leave my skin oily at the end of the day.

I have bought so many foundations over the last couple years from relatively cheap to stupidity expensive. This doesn't give full coverage for say a night out but it is great for during the day, it doesnt feel heavy it doesnt cake and a little goes a long way. It's just a nice mid range foundation and a low end price. Only shame is I cant seem to buy it in shops near me so amazon to the rescue.

I now own this foundation in 3 colours, this allows me to blend & mix any colour throughout the seasons to match my skin tone at that time. Great foundation with a dewy finish, lasts all day long & still looks fresh at bedtime. Very good hues of colour without that dirty beige colour or pink tone so common in many foundations. Whilst this does not have the obvious yellow tones of a Bobbi Brown foundations, it gives a good match & tone for my skin, a thing I often find difficult to find.

I've been using this product for years. If I was one to make YouTube videos, I would make a rave and upbeat review about this foundation alone. Sadly, I am not that person, though I can tell you here that due to my highly sensitive skin, this gentle oil-free formula covers all my hyper pigmentation and rosacea without any evidence of wearing heavy make up at all. A few layers on troublesome spots and under eye bags double as a concealer too. Can't fault it. It stays in place all day and sometimes all night without clogging my pores. It's also my perfect shade. It's becoming harder and harder to find in drug stores and so I thanked the gods I found it on here.

This is actually fast becoming my favourite foundation!!! Doesn't break me out which is a miracle in itself!!! Looks really nice on, pretty natural looking and it loves my combination skin! If you're dry though or have dry patches I'd go for the Healthy Mix Foundation rather than this serum one as it does stick to my dry patches a little. Still highly recommend though!!! I actually like it more than my high-end foundations I wasted money on!!! Go for it!
