My top 3 Bourjois Foundations

Foundation is a magic product that give you a flawless, even cosmetic base for your face. Choosing the right shade of foundation can be very tricky sometimes. “Test foundation on your jawline and check it in the daylight” – Now, that’s a star advice. Choosing the best foundation that suits your need and skin type is very important. Foundations come in different texture, coverage etc. When it comes to base makeup – I am not someone who experiments a lot. I always stick to some brands which I really really love. Bourjois is my favorite drug store brand and today in this post I am reviewing my top 3 bourjois foundations

Its supple texture glides smoothly onto the skin for a flawless complexion with no caking.
Result: complexion is left luminous and flawless for 16 hrs* in any light with an ultra-natural finish.

Price : Rs 1485 for 30 ml

Packaging: Comes in a glass bottle packaging. The pump dispenser makes it easy to the the product for each application. Definitely- As its a glass packaging, its not travel friendly at all.

Shade: I got this shade 54 : I wanted to pick the shade 53 – golden beige which is my perfect match- But I could get only 54 which has yellow undertones. It appears a shade darker – But it blends perfectly onto my skin and provides a dewy look. Looks very natural in pics

Coverage: The foundation has a medium coverage and covers minor flaws. The foundation gives a slight dewy look and not completely matte on my dry skin. The consistency is liquidy; I use my real techniques buffing brush to apply this. You can layer it up for more coverage. You might need a separate  concealer if you have strong acne scars etc. This will cover up only minor blemishes.

Staying Power: In hot HYD weather – this stayed for about – 6 hours.  In winters- I love it – I get a wear time of 8 hours easily. I don’t set my foundation when using bourjois ones -I love the dewy finish it gives . It is water resistant and won’t run down by sweat or water any time. This is my favorite everyday foundation.

2. Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Gel Foundation – 55 – Dark Beige – Best Summer Time Foundation

Product Description
Give your skin a radiance boost with Bourjois’ Healthy Mix Serum Gel foundation – made from a vitamin-rich fruit therapy formula for an even complexion and an instant anti-fatigue result!
Its fresh and instant blending gel texture blends and glides onto the skin for an even, natural finish with no mask effect. Imperfections are erased, signs of fatigue are smoothed and the skin’s radiance is boosted for up to 16 hours*.

Price : 10.99 GBP for 30 ml; I got this from Boots UK through a friend. This foundation is not launched in India.

Packaging: Comes in a glass bottle packaging. The pump dispenser makes it easy to the the product for each application. Definitely- As its a glass packaging, its not travel friendly at all.

Shade: I selected the shade 55: Its slightly darker for me. But for summers where my skin  tend to tan a little bit- this suits well.

Coverage: I have heard a lot of vloggers and bloggers raving about this foundation. This foundation smells fruity. I has all the goodness of fruits etc. It’s the best summer time foundation. For those days – You don’t want to apply a lot of product – yet – want that nice dewy look. The consistency is slightly runny. not as runny as water. I use my Real Techniques expert face brush to apply this. Its light weight on skin and doesn’t leave any dry patch or look flakey or cakey on skin. I love this.

Staying Power: This lasts about 5-6 hours on my skin.

3. Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation – Shade: 56 Light Bronze/Hale clair – My favorite Winter time foundation

Product Description
16 Hr perfectly glowing complexion

Apricot > radiance
Melon > hydration
Apple > antioxidant
Ginger > energy

Price: 1480 INR for 30 ml

Packaging :Comes in a plastic pump bottle – mess-free application. easy to carry around.

Shade: I got the shade: 56 ; its a good match to my skin. 54 is the perfect match for me- But I took  56 as it appears more flattering on my skin.This foundation doesn’t oxidise. It applies evenly. It has a slight fluid consistency with a velvety smooth texture.

Coverage:  sheer- medium coverage.  I use Real Techniques Expert Face brush to apply this.  But nothing like made up sort of looks. There is quite a strong flowery-fruity fragrance but it goes away soon after application.This is my second bottle of this foundation. sometimes  I mix this along with happy light foundation and that works great too. I need about 2 pumps for full face. This is a good winter foundation. This make my face a little glowy compared to other 2 foundations.I love the dewy finish.

Staying power: About 5 hours on my combination skin. 

Now the swatches : 

I would definitely repurchase these foundations and also would check any new launch from the range
