I was a little sceptical of this when I first investigated it, as I can’t get my head around the science of how a product can change colour with different skin colours, and have seen the other colour adapt foundations fail badly.

This however, I am totally in love with!

Its basically a foundation that Jo Malone created for using on clients who’ve just had facials, but don’t want to leave the store totally bare faced. its not a tinted moisturiser, but not a full cover foundation either.

When I first invested in this, it was at the end of the winter, before the April sunshine came, when I was still pale ( use the palest foundation from any brand!) and it suited me beautifully then. A few days later, I really caught the sun and went up to about 3 foundation shades and it still looked perfect on me then!

I’ve since used it on a Mother of the Bride who had some discolouration on one jawline and it blended to her skincolour (medium toned) amazingly, and somehow, sort of magically blended out the discoloured patch (which was very very dark) and made her face look incredible.

The trick with this is to take a tiny bit on your finger tip and really work it into your skin. use it more like a moisturiser than a foundation, so blend it into your skin, rather than put it on top of your skin

On its own it doesn’t have all day last, but with some loose powder and some fix + I can get 15 hours of life out of it, so for me, as a great light foundation, it gets a thumbs up!
