I am reviewing Colour 202 ‘Creamy Natural’. It is wildly difficult to pick a shade of foundation from a swatch on a computer screen, and while this was close to matching my skin-tone, the undertone of this particular shade is almost grey. I’m not sure 202 will have the right undertone for many people.
That being said – this product is very forgiving if you (like me) choose the wrong shade. This had a sheer – medium coverage for me and I choose to go for a more sheer coverage and this worked well. It had a glowy BB cream sort of finish where you could see my freckles but my redness was gone. It is easily build-able and the product did not feel oily on.
Packaging is plastic & easy to use so is a great number for the handbag/ gym bag. As others have mentioned it is a very runny consistency - but every product is different and I don't see this as an issue.
I have normal/ Combination skin that is dry in winter and can get oily in Summer, so I think this is a great foundation for winter or for those who simply prefer a dewy finish.
I would probably only use this in winter, because this trial taught me that I actually prefer a more matt look.
My first thoughts when applying this foundation was, I was surprised at how liquidy and lightweight it was! It felt like a little could go a long way and it was super buildable where it wouldn’t go cakey. It spread and applied nicely and didn’t go streaky at all. The finish was really nice and glowy without looking greasy, a nice luminousity to the skin and my skin did look good. In terms of wear I felt it didn’t last as long as it said it would, I’m not too bothered by it because I’ll only wear this foundation for shorter periods of time instead. But possibly disappointing for those who would want it to last like it says it does. The areas it came off are the usual areas-nose and chin, I am normally oilier leading up to my time of the month so I will be interested to try it when my skins back to normal. Because of its lightweight texture it was a dream to take off! From normally where I have to really rub my foundation with miceller water on a cotton pad this came off with a swipe! All in all I’ll definitely be using this foundation again and did enjoy using it as well!
Tips: A little goes a long way and the formula is quite watery so start with small amounts!
