I’ve been going through my make up/blog photos and there are so many that I’ve started to forget what I have reviewed and what I haven’t.
I don’t think I have reviewed this yet. If I have, then you will have to read it twice.
I bought this Bourjois Mineral Matte Foundation a good few months ago – I liked the idea of getting a little brush with it and I wanted to be convinced by a mousse foundation – so far not impressed by any.
This was something like £12…expensive I think, for a drugstore level foundation.
I got shade 85 which is one of the darker ones they do. It matches up to me NC35 skin tone perfectly.
I like the brush it comes with a lot, just because I like firm textured brushes for putting foundation on.
The brush is small but made to fit the foundation jar…like so….
Dab dab dab….
The mousse is quite a firm textured one, which feels silky when applied to the skin but also a little oily on me. It settles down nicely though to give a nice semi-matte finish.
Its so easy to put too much of this on especially when you’re watching breakfast tv at the same time so I would say, not dab, dab, dab but dab.
Anyway – I don’t think this foundation is brilliant at controlling oil and if you are from a hot or humid climate, forget it – but otherwise I sort of really really like this base!

Why do I like it?
Its quick. Extremely quick. Effortless really. Two dabs, swirl swirl and a evened out, smooth complexion is mine (even though I think it doesn’t do so great with controlling oil).
A bit of powder on top would set it for I think.
I also like the finish which is a semi-matte on me, quite flawless really.
This bit on the packaging made me laugh:
100% Satisfied Customers! Cool! Then I read:
C’mon Bourjois! You can do better than 22 women from your office block testing out this foundation, surely?
Verdict:
Wouldn’t recommend for super oily women or for ladies in humid environments.
But I would rebuy it cos its super quick to use, gives a nice even base.
