No7 Beautifully Matte Foundation

No7 Beautifully Matte Foundation

I have had a bit of 'a thing' for foundations the past month. This is the second foundation I have tried from the No7 range and although I don't like this one as much as their Superlight Foundation, it is still a nice foundation.

Their Beautifully Matte Foundation provides medium/full coverage, has a matte finish and is definitely better for those with oily skin.  This foundation retails at £13.50 and comes in 14 shades. I have the shade Warm Ivory, which suits my skin tone pretty perfectly.

The packaging of this foundation is faultless. It looks amazing, is transparent, so you can see the shade you are selecting and comes complete with a pump. If you are looking for a foundation that will keep your oil at bay and give your skin that flawless matte look, then this foundation is for you! Just a little bit of this foundation covers amazingly and it is buildable so you can achieve a 'full coverage' look if desired.

This foundation as been tested to ensure it won't block pores and salicylic acid has been included in the formula to help unblock pores as you wear. This foundation is Hypo-allergenic and is suitable for those with sensitive skin, and I have personally never experienced 'break outs' with this foundation. This foundation has an SPF 15 and contains Ethanol, to leave your skin feeling cool and refreshed.

What I will say about this foundation is if you have slightly drier skin or even combination skin, I wouldn't recommend this foundation. I sometimes suffer from dry skin around my nose, and I noticed that this foundation 'extremely' emphasized this and made my skin appear even more dry and flakier, which is never a good look. Also, I prefer to use this foundation sparingly, as I found that if you build up it can border line on looking 'cakey' and settling into any fine lines.

Overall, as far as full coverage, matte foundations go, this foundation is pretty good! It isn't too highly priced and so long as use sparingly, looks flawless and amazing on the skin!
