Vichy Dermablend Foundation

 

So lately I've been really suffering with my skin, its become oily/dry and I have blemishes, its almost like extreme combination skin. As you know when your skin acts up your makeup always sits badly on your skin, I don't want to make it worse but it needs serious help covering! So I watched the Lisa Eldridge Acne Cover-up video on her blog that a lot of you have probably seen, its amazing what magic she works on this models skin! I was really impressed with her view on covering blemishes and how she did it with a foundation and not a concealer. So being a makeup sucker I bought the Vichy Dermablend Foundation she uses in the video. Anythings got to be worth a try right? and she is a pro after all.

                     

As you can see I bought the Opal shade which is the lightest they do. I think this is light enough for me. It can appear darker in the tube but when its on your face it blends in really well. Its matte but not cakey or tight on the skin. I applied it as I saw on the video and I have to say I was quite impressed. I didn't get the exact amazing results, I think a lot of that stems from my skin being aggravated. Also Lisa Eldridge uses a anti-redness foundation, this probably really helps the concealing. I however used my Mac Studio Fix and it did a pretty good job, I may even try it as an all over base just to see the full effects. I will post pictures of my ugly mug for you to see the finish it gives on my skin and show you what I used. Has anyone else tried this for concealing? did you get a good coverage or was you not impressed?

I also have to do a slight 'big up' to Escentual.com, where I bought my foundation. They had the best deal on this foundation and the postage was reasonable too. I ordered it late Sunday night and received it on the Tuesday morning, along with a couple of goodies thrown in which is always a bonus. I was really impressed as on some sites its way overpriced even before the postage, which I'm finding is the case for a lot of websites at the moment. I have to stress I'm in no way promoting or selling for this company and I bought this with my own money. This is just a pure review to show you where I bought mine from and to let you know where the best deal was for me.
