Bourjois 123 Perfect foundation Review!

I haven't really bought into the Bourjois brand, not sure why but I just tend to brush past it when I'm in boots or superdrug. That was until I heard numerous bloggers rave about the 123 perfect foundation. Bourjois claim that this foundation contains three colour correcting pigments, a yellow to conceal dark circles, Mauve to add radiance and green to neutralise redness which all together "correct and conceal all blemishes" as well as SPF10, anti-shine and 24 hour hydration. Now I am going to start off by saying it doesn't cover "all" blemishes but it does a good job covering a nice amount, I'd say it falls into a medium coverage bracket. Although it doesn't cover all blemishes it certainly does dull the redness and make them less noticeable which is always a good thing. The foundation is super easy to apply, I put two pumps on the back of my hand and use my ELF flat top powder brush to buff it into my skin. It's safe to say that this could become my new holy grail foundation because it does two things I love, it doesn't dry out my skin and it doesn't make my skin look oily or shiny just like it claims! When I have this foundation on my face instantly looks more awake and bright which is nice when underneath it I am a sleepy, dull faced mess! I've had my bottle for around a month now and I'm not even half way through it. All in all a very good foundation, I'd say it is definitely worth the £10.99 price tag.

  1. I completely agree! Until recently I was the same with the Bourjois brand but then I bought this foundation after reading multiple reviews and also the chocolate bronzing powder. I love both products so much! I think this is a great foundation for days when I have blemishes as I generally reach for a light coverage concealer on 'good skin days'. What foundation did you switch from?

  2. I do love Bourjois products they really are worth the price. But it sucks that they've stopped selling things in the US. Think that's another reason why I have to visit Canada!

  3. I've heard so much about this, I'm going to have to cave and try it probably. I do really like the concept but I'm dubious as to whether it would work on my scars :/

  7. I got this foundation a little while ago, and completely love it. Agreed I don't think it does what it claims in terms of it's concealing process but I do find it's a really great foundation to use, and I find myself not having to apply powder on top. Great review hun!
