BourjoisHealthy Mix Foundation for Women, 54 Beige, 1 Ounce

I have a love/hate relationship with this; sometimes it applies beautifully, sometimes it separates where my skin is suffering from texture and dryness. If you layer it using a sponge applicator (I use a cushion sponge) it tends to remove or move around the foundation. My t-zone can get shiny throughout the day and this foundation reflects it noticeably so. If you don't get too oily and does not suffer from intense dry patches, this would wear beautifully, as it looks natural and slightly dewy on my good skin days.I've begun mixing this with my EL Double Wear foundation (in shade 1W1, 50/50 ratio) and it gives much more coverage, wears beautifully, is less oily in the t-zone, and much more transfer proof than wearing this serum foundation alone. Because of how dewy this foundation can be, it's a great mixer for drier foundations. However, my cheeks get horrendously dry and flakey during the winter (like, you can feel the dry patches after freshly applied face cream level of dry) and this mix does not sit too well in those areas, which I have to use Nars RCC (mix of shades custard and vanilla) on to remedy.My shade is about NC15 and 51 Vanille Clair was a close enough match.update 7/21/18: It's been over a year and my skin has drastically improved- my t-zone is no longer oily and I have very minimal dry patches. This foundation is now perfect alone, does not separate wildly on me, and provides enough coverage to hide my light acne scars and redness. I use it with a cushion sponge still, the blue MISSHA ones, and it leaves a fantastic natural finish (slightest bit of glow, not crazy dewy). I can finally ditch my more expensive foundations for this. IF you have oily skin though, I do not recommend this at all, as it will separate oddly and accentuate your pores.

I've honestly really loved this. I have fairly sensitive skin and foundation typically without fail causes me to break out a little every so often just simply because I am a college student, and if I wear makeup at 7 in the morning it's staying on all day until I finally go home.At the end of the day, this foundation still feels wonderful on my skin. Usually my foundation, after it's put up with around 10 hours of wear, it's bound to feel dry or oily or gross, but not this foundation.This foundation also looks gorgeous no matter how many hours I've worn it when I spray my face with a little bit of Amore Pacific facial mist, and I personally that impressive that I don't even need to reapply.All in all, this is a great every day foundation. The coverage is buildable, and I would personally prefer a more high coverage foundation if this foundation wasn't so incredibly beautiful and comfortable. I was able to attain great coverage, though, by just layering it. The result was not cakey whatsoever, and my face had a wonderful slightly dewy glow to it.I'm a fan. I wish a higher coverage version of this foundation would come out for the days I want to look a little more photo-perfect.

I am a Jaclyn Hill fanatic, she had me convinced to try this foundation and I'm happy I did. I had to wait a couple of weeks for it to ship to the US but I'm happy I did.My skin type: Very sensitive, prone to breakouts and dryness, treated with retinol and glycolic acid EOD. Visible pores and can get oily in my T-zone. No wrinkles or fine lines.My skin tone: Fair with olive undertones, some redness, a few sun spots on my cheek region.My makeup routine: Primer (Tatcha), foundation (applied with a brush), under-eye concealer (Urban Decay Naked), setting powder for my under eyes (Anastasia banana powder), blush, setting spray (Urban Decay), then eye makeup and lipstick (many many many brands and products).This product: I have the color 53 Beige Clair (light beige) which is perfect for my light olive skin. It provides light to medium coverage that is buildable, goes on smoothly on top of my primer, and gives a very glowy/dewy appearance. I always go for a more natural makeup look and this does exactly that. It covers my sun spots and redness very well, evens out my skin tone,l and does not make my skin oily or make me break out. As far as longevity is concerned, I can't speak to that because I use a setting spray which is meant to extend the life of my makeup for 12-14 hours, so it stays on all day but that's probably more because of the setting spray than the foundation itself. It hasn't really changed the quality of my skin at all, but I don't expect it to, it's not skin care.
