The other day I popped into Superdrug in the search of a new foundation for summer. After trawling the aisles and getting distracted by the new L'oreal nudes eye shadow palettes and Rita Ora's new nail polish collection for Maybelline, I finally found myself picking up The Bourjois City Radiance Foundation.
Although I always seem to love Bourjois products this one was new to me so I was intruiged to see if it would be as good as their Healthy Mix foundation, that is a favorite of mine. It did not disappoint, it is a very good foundation. It's super lightweight on the skin whilst still giving a medium coverage. I love products that provide half decent coverage but feel like you aren't wearing anything. I'm loving using it in warmer weather because it is so light, I find there is nothing worse than heavy makeup on your skin when it's really hot.
Another thing that makes it awesome especially for summer ? It has SPF 30 so if you are like me and worry about sun protection this makes your life a little easier!
The texture is more like a tinted moisturiser and is incredibly easy to work into the skin with just fingers. I like to start using my fingers to work it into the skin, then blend over with a buffing brush for a flawless finish. It is a great 5-minute foundation because it is so easy to blend.
As I have dry skin I always look for more hydrating formulas, and this definitely fits the bill. But if you have more oily skin it works perfectly too, leaving the perfect finish. Not too matte and not too dewy and because of its lighter texture it doesn't sit on the skin either.
Despite being very hydrating on the skin it lasts really well. Staying power can be a problem with other hydrating formulas, meaning this is a great option for those of us with dry skin as well as those with more oily/combination complexions as it lasts on the skin really well.
If you are looking for another foundation I would definately recomend giving this one a go!
