My New Favourite Foundation

It was unfortunate that my foundation ran out the same week that I had a horrid allergic rash all over my face. I had naively thought that it would be safe to use 'Loreal factor 50+ face suncream' on my actual face-not so. I found myself in Bobbi Brown sheepishly lurking around the foundations with a bulbous chin and red rashed forehead.

I had intended to buy the same shade 00 Albaster in the oil free formula rather than the moisture rich which I had just ran out of, lighter for summer I thought to myself. The first job was to convince the sales girl that I was suffering an allergic reaction and my skin wasn't always so crusty

'Babe, no way do you need oil free'
'But usually my face is usually not dry'
'But look at the skin around your eyes'
'It's not usually like this! I had an ALLERGIC REACTION!!!'
'That's ok babe, we all have break outs at certain times'

So forth, so forth....
She actually called me 'Babe'

Eventually we abandoned the battle and settled upon a happy medium, the new 'Skin Foundation' was supposed to be designed for oily T-zone and dry cheeks, sounds exactly like my skin so I took one and fled Selfridges with my rashy face.

This stuff is absolutely amazing! The pump makes it very easy to dispense and it has a very light consistency; when I put some of the back of my hand it was actually runny unlike the gloopy usuals. I feared that it might be too sheer but on application the coverage is unbelievable, so light yet almost as effective as a concealer. It looks natural enough for day, yet build up with another application and you are set for night.

I love this, and will have a hard time to be convinced to buy elsewhere in future. Highly recommended.

Seems InStyle love it too!
