WEBSITE CLAIMS

Give your skin a radiance boost and leave it looking flawless for up to 16 hours! Bourjois’ new Radiance Reveal Healthy Mix foundation is enriched with a fruit therapy formula to enhance your complexion.

  • Apricot for radiance
  • Melon for hydration
  • Apple to protect your youth

It is also enriched with crystalline pigments to even out the complexion while letting in the natural light for that healthy looking glow.

OUR THOUGHTS

Please note that this review is based on normal skin type.

COVERAGE

For some reason, we went in thinking that this foundation would have light to medium coverage. Probably the “Healthy Mix” gave us that impression. However, it has pretty decent, buildable medium coverage. It instantly evens out the complexion, which always makes the face look flat (radiant, but flat) and lacking in any dimensions whatsoever. But don’t be thrown off by that. Apply the rest of your makeup, set it with a good spray like MAC Fix+ and the outcome is great!

SKIN

The weird yet totally fabulous thing about this foundation is that it looks better with time. It can look a bit scary flat and dry initially, but in a couple of hours once it is at one with your skin, it looks BEAUTIFUL. JUST BEUATIFUL.

Another most shocking thing we have noticed every single time we wear this foundation is the look of our skin after taking off our makeup. It’s almost like it treats the skin while it’s on. Skin appears hydrated, bright and even. It’s the weirdest yet best part about having this on your face all day long! We probably have the Vitamins in the formula to thank!

WEAR

Bourjois claims that this foundation can make skin looking flawless for up to 16 hours. We can’t say we disagree.

We have tested this foundation for 14 hours and have found it lasts fairly well. Considering it isn’t hot summer time here in Oman yet and that we always set our foundation with our trusty MAC Fix+ and Urban Decay All Nighter, other foundations usually start fading away around the nose and mouth area by the end of the day.

This, on the other hand, hardly moves. As stated earlier, the foundation wears better with time. After a whole day, the Healthy Mix Foundation looks super natural on the skin yet still flawless.

FINISH

The finish is more on the matte side, however, not flat matte. Skin is left oil free yet radiant.

PROS

  • Evens out skin tone

  • Medium yet buildable coverage

  • Makes skin look flawless

  • Doesn’t break out sensitive skin

  • Gets better with time

  • Lasts all day

  • More on the matte side, however, radiant

  • Easily available at the drugstore

CONS

  • Face looks flat at first, have to set it with a setting spray

  • A little drying on normal skin type

  • Has a weird biscuit like scent, however doesn’t cause break outs

  • Not a dewy finish on normal skin

  • Slightly higher price point than other drugstore products, as like other Bourjois products

We are head over heels with this foundation, despite the cons! Once it’s settled into your skin, it gives a beautiful finish. If you have normal to dry skin, you might want to prep your skin with a hydrating primer or serum.
