My first Beauty Review: Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation

Hi guys,

The reason I am showing you the god awful picture above is today I’m doing my first review!

Ive never really ventured into the beauty blogging world before

so please bare with me!

I don’t know the correct terms for things,

but I can give my honest novices opinion, hopefully to help other newbies!

I bought the new Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation & concealer, from boots yesterday!

I had seen it in magazines and saw the display,

I tested it on the back of my hand and thought it was worth a try.

I bought it with my points as well, so nothing to loose really!

As you can see my skin is very red,

in fact it can get 10 x as bad as the photo above

(and I am wearing a little light reflecting shimmer above

which seems to take away some of the redness)

I’m also quite pale, and I’m not really a foundation wearer

as I’ve never found anything I’m happy with.

Here is me with just the concealer and foundation on!

The products both smell really nice,

I’m generally really funny about strong smells,

but this was just pleasant and fresh, and the smell dissipated quite quickly.

Colour wise this is 51 the palest they had, its an OK match but not great

Its not pale enough and a bit too yellow/orange based

rather than pink beige.

Having said that I really like the consistency and coverage,

it was super easy so apply evenly even though I’m not used to foundation!

I used the concealer under my eyes and on my nose, underneath the foundation.

and here is my make-up complete!

I showed my sister during the process and she said with all my normal red tones taken away I looked to pale, so I applied some estee lauder shimmer powder and pout bronzer on top.

I feel i look a little too orangey for my liking,
but that’s a combo of the foundation and bronzer.

being naturally red I have never had use for a blusher, I seriously don’t own one,

so a blusher is now on my to buy list!

Overall , I really like this foundation, and I will persevere with it,

combining it with different powders etc to see if I can look less yellowy,

love the consistency and ease of application though!

7.5/10

Hope you found this interesting!

Any ideas on what colour / type / brand of blusher I should get??
