Initial thoughts

I have been looking for a foundation that can cover imperfections, blemishes and redness.  This was recommended to me by a dermatologist and I happen to have noticed the lovely @emshelx is a big fan! I ordered this foundation online and had to guess to shade, but you can buy this in boots too.  It comes in 11 shades.

• Application

I applied this foundation using a brush, strangely I have been using more of a stripping brush.  I feel it gives a better finish, sometimes a flatter foundation brush leave streaks on my face. I only apply a very small amount at a time and work it into the skin, you can build the coverage as you need it.  I have to say on first application I was in love!!  The coverage is amazing, it hid any redness and inflammation and made my skin look smooth and flawless.  A flipping miracle at the moment.

• Texture

The product itself is quite thick, so can be hard to blend (hence only using a small amount at first). It feels light on the skin despite it being a thicker foundation, which I like, nothing worse than feeling caked! it is very smooth and leaves my skin feeling and more importantly looking flawless.

• Staying power

Vichy claim the foundation lasts up to 16 hours and keeps skin hydrated for up to 24hrs.  I have been wearing this on a daily basis for work and have oily/combination skin.  I have to say its staying power is fairly good.  I started to notice some redness from my blemishes coming through around 3pm (foundation was applied at 7.30am), I think the my oily skin does make foundation cake a little.  With other foundations I usually have to apply a little top up of powder early afternoon so this wasn’t a complete inconvenience.
