Hello everyone! Once again it’s
that time on my blog to review a product! exciting! in this case a foundation, and we all know foundations happen to be one of my favourite makeup items to buy and try because of my acne and because I am obsessed with a matte face so always looking for one that can do that for me!
Today though it the Bourjois Paris 123 foundation that is
said to have 3 different pigments to a. get rid of dark circles, but get rid of anti-dull complexion
and c. anti-redness which was the main of why I was so interested, because although
I don’t really have bags under my eyes, or a particularly dull complexion I do
sometimes struggle with red areas so I thought I would see how this would
go.Now I have to say I didn’t really see anything special abnout this
foundation as it just seemed like a normal foundation to me. However I
think the main reason I think this is
because I might have gotten the wrong colour? Yes I knowww but there’s a whole
story behind this as it was in TkMaxx without a lid with no broken seal and I
therefore was able to pay £4 for it, compared to the usual price of £9.99, I am
a bargain hunter with makeup and wanted to try this particular foundationso of
course had to buy it, and at first glace looked pretty pale. Obviously at this
point I was in denial about how pale I really am… So the next day I put it on
and it actually looked pretty good!
But
by the end of the day when I had come home from school it had pretty much
shifted and melted off my face, it wasn’t cute. But because it had done that
and was the wrong colour part of my face (mainly around my jaw line and ears)
was pale and them my cheeks working up were orange..again. Not cute. Saying
this if it was the right colour it might have blended a bit nicer and not left
such a harsh line of orange behind.
It
did stay quite matte throughout the day I must say but was not worth it for me
unless I wear it on occasions that I don’t have a long or stressful day or with
dark lighting haha. It also did very well at fighting my red-ness in the way
that you couldn’t really see the redness on my forehead and cheeks as you
usually can with a foundation by the end of the day so that’s another perk.
This
is how I wore it: Applied the maybelline baby face primer first, used a Real
Techniques expert face brush to put the foundation on my face and blend it in.
No7’s new concealar, Stay Matte powder with a Real techniques powder brush and
a little blush again with a Real Techniques brush and then the rest of my
makeup. That is usually what I pair with my foundations but I never really have
a huge issue with it shifting on my face, it’s usually oilyness. But again the
colour is probably the issue here.
Overall
about a 4 out of 5 I say this because if I had the right colour I feel like
this would be great for me! Maybe I’ll reinvest in the lighter one!
