Anyone that knows me will have heard me rave about the Vichy Dermablend foundation at some point or another, so when I saw this foundation, I had to have it.
The original Vichy Dermablend is literally my holy grail foundation.. When I'm having a terrible skin day (which seems to be a common factor this month) or when I have to rush and need a quick, reliable foundation fix, I find myself reaching for this beauty, but with the beautiful, yet scarily out of character, British weather that we seem to be having, I started to find the original foundation slightly too heavy and mask-like.
I was on the look-out for something slightly more sheer, but with just as high coverage and I spotted this.. Immediately, I chucked it into my basket and whizzed off to the checkouts, hoping for the best.
Now, like I said, I have tried the original Dermablend for the face, and I've also tried an original Vichy foundation (which I cannot find anywhere- pesky younger sister ALERT) and have been utterly blown away by the coverage and longevity of the formulas, so I just knew that this would be a winner.
My first thoughts tell me that Mac Face & Body foundation is very sheer, and is something that I absolutely hated when I gave it a go..With this in mind, I sat in front of the mirror (at home, not still in Boots, weirdo), grabbed my RT buffing brush and blended the product into my face. I could not believe my face when I looked in the mirror.. I was flawless, but not in a cakey-too-much-makeup kinda way.
I feel like this is midway between a BB cream and a foundation.
Now, I must say that this is called 'Total BODY Foundation' for a reason.. Yep, you got it, it's made for the body; so Vichy and Dermablend teamed up a few years back to create a line of makeup that has high enough coverage to cover skin imperfections e.g. birth marks, burns, scars etc. This can also be used to cover up tattoos, which is pretty cool, right?
Another great thing is the size of this baby..
The original face foundation is 30ml, where the body foundation is 100ml.. Obviously this is because you're gonna need a lot more for you body, than you are your face, but with me only using it for my face, it's gonna last me forever, especially considering that you only need a pea-sized splodge to cover the whole face.
If you're looking for a new foundation with high coverage, I recommend that you try these.
I know that you're gonna love them!
