Bourjois Happy Light. Reasonable price, Makes skin feel really healthy and soft, Great range of colours, No tide marks, Smells pleasant, Brightens skinMy mum bought this foundation for herself, but told me as it has a very dewy look to it it isn't the perfect makeup for mature ladies.

I decided to try this myself for a change from my usual heavy matte foundation, i wanted a more natural dewy finish.

I thought the packaging was really lovely, very stylish looking, and a nice size to keep in your bag. It doesn't get messy and it's really easy to get out of the tube, but it isn't a pump foundation so it may go off quicker than other foundations.

Value for money is very good, mine was roughly £5.99 and it has enough to last about half a year i'd day with a light daily application.

Upon applying i tested it on my hand, it was gorgeous. It felt soft, smelt really nice and matched my skin perfectly.

I applied it with a damp foundation brush. I did notice it was quite hard to blend as the very liquid texture meant it sat on top of the skin and moved around a lot, after a lot of blending it still looked like i'd put it on and hadn't blended. But i didn't get foundation lines at all, it matched my skin perfectly. I found dabbing it gently with a sponge evened out application, and it definitely needs powder applied afterwards as it looks too shiny.

It holds on quite well i'd say, but still gives you that healthy dewy look. It feels beautiful and although i have very sensitive skin didn't break me out.

This foundation is very nice and natural looking, but it is too shiny and i noticed it has weird shimmery glitter stuff in it :S It is very light coverage also so you need to apply a lot of concealer underneath.

Overall this is perfect if you have dry clear skin, but not so good if you have blemishes or aged skin.
