New favourite
After lockdown I was loathe to go back to wearing a full face of foundation and make up every day and decided to stick with a more natural look. I’d been trying a few different BB creams when I saw a vegan blogger review of this and decided to look into it. I don’t usually order things online if I haven’t been able to do a colour test but I decided to go for it and ordered the 2.0 N Light Medium and found it suits my skin colour really well. It blends easily and once it’s on you don’t feel like you’re wearing any make up at all. Love the way it evens my skin tone without making it look like I’m wearing make up, and lasts all day. I was dubious as a few people had mentioned a ‘dewy’ look and I didn’t want to look shiny and oily but I’ve found it just looks natural. Will certainly buy again

First Impressions, Second Impressions...
I usually use an Erborian BB cream or Younique foundation but I'm on a budget and have been looking for another light foundation. While I may be getting lines & stuff at 41, maturity has finally cleared up my acne, my skin is a little combo but tending more towards dry - I don't use concealer anymore and heavy foundations are really not my style. I watched a load of youtube videos and this was recommended. I must say I was shocked by how many pumps of foundation people seem to use in youtube videos. 3 pumps? sometimes more?! (and why do people who clearly have pink undertones choose the yellow base one shade too dark!??!) Anyway, I usually use only a small dot of BB cream and maybe 2-3 drops of younique. Thinking maybe I've been doing things wrong this whole time, when I got this foundation I decided to try it with the matching silicone primer first... then 2 pumps. UGH, horrendous! It looked disgusting. Heavy, caked on - not nice at all. For some reason it formed patches on invisible blonde face fuzz I never even knew I had. I had to use 2 makeup wipes and then wash my face in dr. bronners to get it all off. Disgusting. Once my face was clean, I decided to try JUST the foundation, and this time - a scanty 3/4ths pump. Perfect. It looks great and even looks great on camera. I think I might have found my cheap and cheerful replacement foundation.

Everything!
This foundation is life, the coverage it gives you for such a reasonable priced foundation is just insane! I started using this recently whilst it's been hot and preferred a less heavy look and I do not think I'll look back. Took a bit of a guess with the colour after reading up and it matches my skin tone perfectly!

Fantastic..holy grail product
This product had converted me from a full coverage double wear wearer to a dewy light coverage fan. Lasts all day and the colour match is fabulous. For the price, it’s a wonderful product

Excellent product
Very happy with the choice. Foundation was recommended to me by a friend and that was exactly what I wanted. Very light texture and perfect colour to my olive skin. I’ve chosen 2P light medium. Highly recommend.

Perfect foundation.
This product has converted me to wearing a foundation. It is very light and the NS1 shade suits my very fair freckle skin perfectly. Lots of people have commented on how well I look whilst I've been wearing it.

Pleasantly surprised
I have been using a very pricey foundation which I couldn't get hold of recently and tried this inexpensive one in the meantime. Wow! So surprised, feels lovely and silky going on, colour is great and good coverage despite a very lightweight feel.

Pretty good
I lowkey like this foundation however would not recommend for even combo skin. It had a nice texture but was a bit too hydrating and oily for my skin. I would only reccommend for super dry/dry skin users. If you have combo or oily skin then go for the coverage foundation version instead. Although that is a bit more full coverage, you can always mix with a moisturiser to make it sheerer

my go to foundation
Such an amazing foundation. perfect for when your skin is clear or when you’ve only got a few blemishes. I bought this when I was coming to the end of my accutane treatment and I’ve used it a couple of times since then. super lightweight and has such a glory dewy finish.

Amazing
I have struggled for years trying to find a foundation which didn't make me look orange. I have tried some very expensive brands but found they make my skin look too caked. I love this. Its the perfect light coverage to enhance my skin without looking like I have slapped on a heavy foundation. It just naturally enhance the complexion. Totally hooked and am utterly amazed that something this great is not some astronomical price. 100% recommend it.
