NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUPBorn to Glow Radiant Foundation, Iridescent Finish, Buildable Medium Coverage, Vegan Formula, Shade: Medium Olive

A lovely, flawless finish. Gives a really nice glow to your skin.

This is my favourite foundation of all time. I like the subtle glow it gives and it has a nice coverage as well for such an affordable price. I would recommend if you need a drugstore foundation that doesn’t have your skin looking or feeling dry.

Great value for money, good shade range with a variety of undertones and an online shade matcher. Mixes well with other foundations, and doesn’t break out my acne prone skin. Applies well with either a beauty sponge or a brush.I’d say it’s medium coverage, you might be able to get medium-full out of it if you build it, but it’s not going to give you opaque full coverage. Hides redness and discolouration wel even without colour correction, and looks very natural skin-finish.Despite being advertised as glowy, I’d say this is satin finish rather than truly dewy - it doesn’t have the oily/sweaty sheen that very dewy foundations do. This isn’t necessarily a negative - while I would prefer almost wet-look dewy myself, a lot of people don’t like that in which case this is a great choice. The glow comes from very very fine highlight particles in it - doesn’t look glittery, just catches the light nicely.Lasts okay throughout the day in terms of not breaking down, though it’s not transfer-proof so avoid touching your face and powder the areas a mask touchs. Plays well with cream contour, all concealers, and my Milk Hydrogrip Primer. If you’re planning on using powder blush or bronzer over the top I’d give those areas a quick sweep with some translucent powder to make it easier to blend due to the satin finish which takes a little while to dry down.I alternate between this and L’Oreal Infallible Fresh Wear for affordable every day foundations, and really like them both.

Great coverage but lightweight.

Average foundation, leaves a powdery look which I don’t like

Great foundation. Shame they no longer sell it in the shops

Great coverage and glowy finish - ideal for my skin aged 49

Love it. Colour is very good and texture is great
