Please note that Royal Mail currently classes perfumes, nail polishes, flammable liquids and aerosols as "hazardous materials" and will only accept a limited number of these per parcel. Apart from a swatch, we of course need to see what the coverage is actually like. With just 3/4 of a pump I am able to cover my entire face. As you can see I have quite a bit of redness in my skin and the foundation has no issues covering that up. It is very lightweight and blendable but it takes a bit of effort to get this foundation to look smooth and even on the skin. I do find that well-moisturized skin is needed if you have dry skin like mine to make this foundation look good. It looks best on very plump looking skin: I don’t think this foundation is as hydrating as it claims to be. What is the shade match like? Sensitive skin hive, rise! Another drugstore foundation that should be on your radar is Neutrogena's Sensitive Skin Serum Foundation. All 15 shades are free of fragrances, dyes, parabens, phthalates, alcohol, and sulfates. Its key ingredient is pro-vitamin B5, which is designed to minimize the appearance of redness, blur imperfections, and reduce the visibility of fine lines, leaving you with a smooth and flawless complexion.

So I said this comes with claims, let’s go over them. This is supposed to be a lightweight, hydrating foundation with hyaluronic acid and watermelon seed extract. It should combat redness and smooth out your skin tone evenly while giving a radiant matte finish. Coverage should be medium to buildable full coverage while not looking makeuppy and cakey and feeling comfortable on the skin. Which claims does this foundation make good on? Definitely on the comfort, finish and coverage. Not so much on the hydrating and natural looking finish. How does this foundation swatch?

But I saw this product getting so much hype that I decided to try it again when the brand didn’t launch any new complexion products in their most recent update. I felt I was missing out, bought a different shade and decided to try again! Here’s how that went. We're proud to announce that our mailing bags are made from recycled polythene and are also recyclable, and our bubble wrap is made from recycled plastic and is completely recyclable.

Catrice True Skin Hydrating Foundation (30ml) is the ultimate caring foundation for a natural and simultaneously even complexion. The long-lasting makeup provides medium to high coverage to gently conceal minor imperfections and redness, leaving a feathery light texture and an incomparable matte ‘real skin’ finish. Clinique's Even Better Clinical Serum Foundation SPF 25 offers the best of both worlds by providing both long-lasting coverage and the transformative benefits of a serum in an admirable 42 shades. Infused with powerful ingredients such as vitamin C, salicylic acid, and hyaluronic acid, the formula works effectively to visibly diminish the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone and provide ample hydration.
