No7 Beautifully Matte Foundation (New Formula spf 25) - Amber

Product Information

We were unimpressed with this No7 foundation almost immediately. When applied with a foundation brush we could see streaks on top of the skin that clung to dry patches. With make-up powered by No7 skin expertise, this mattifying foundation makes the perfect base for any make-up routine. We recommend using in harmony with colour-correcting No7 Airbrush Away Colour Balancing Primer, and a subtle, sun-kissed sweep of No7 Matte Bronzing Powder.

The result was better when we used a beauty blender however, the Lift & Luminate Triple Action Serum foundation did still cling to dry patches – regardless of whether we were using the silicone primer or the water-based one. Although it was worse when used with the former. Each No7 foundation was tested on our face with a silicone primer and a water-based primer. We also tested these No7 foundations with a foundation brush and a beauty blender in an attempt to mimic the various combinations we expect you will use and experience.Over the day, this No7 foundation felt breathable and it sat well on our face without ever settling into our fine lines or wrinkles. It was the only No7 foundation that didn’t sit in any flaky patches on the skin, making this the best No7 foundation for dry skin. What’s more, we didn’t even have to touch up our oily T-zone as much as we expected. It also worked beautifully with our other concealers, bronzers, blushers and highlighters. Even those not made by No7. Formulated with SkinExpert™ technology analysing 1.9m skin tones for a true-skin match. Available in 36 shades, this product has been specifically formulated with a medium coverage to blend seamlessly into a range of skin tones. Take a look at your bare skin in the mirror in natural light to identify which skin tone you have, ranging from fair, light, medium, medium/rich and rich. You might find that instead of just being one tone, you’re a combination of a few skin tones such as light-medium or medium-rich. If you’re really struggling to work out what type of skin tone you have, ask a friend to help or visit a local beauty counter for assistance. Knowing which skin tone you have will make it a lot easier to determine which foundation colour will suit you most. Hyaluronic Acid - powerful moisture-binding ingredient that can hold up to 1000x its weight in water, proven to hydrate skin, retains moisture and prevents moisture loss with reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Titanium Dioxide - a sunscreen agent which gives a nice broad-spectrum coverage and it's highly stable. Basically me testing #bootsno7 matte #foundation, impossible to find my shade even with the match made machine. Everytime I get matched, I get a new shade, why? Because I’m neutral olive. I would need 2 if not 3 foundations to get my shade… Driving me crazy… Here are all the shades but 2 of the darkest.. Sooo pink, too bad you can’t see it so well, but from 4 light shades only 1 is yellow. Then all medium shades are pink and the first dark shade, honey is olive.. What am I to do?? #makeup #makeupproblems #mua #makeupartist #boots #No7 #potd I love this foundation to be honest #photooftheday #instamood #instamakeup We’re unsure why Boots doesn’t offer the same shade range across each type of foundation, or why it can be so difficult to tell which shade you are in each type.

Yet while we’ve previously included No7 products in our various lists of Best Buys, now we’re delving a deeper to not only celebrate the brand’s foundation range but to put the best No7 foundations to the test. Out of all the foundations in this No7 foundation group test, the Essentially Natural foundation gave the lightest coverage Expertly formulated to mattify skin and conceal imperfections and blemishes, this foundation is powered by a skin-mattifying blend of fine oil-absorbing powders. The formula glides effortlessly onto the skin, blurring the appearance of pores, with a velvety soft finish and no powdery flatness for a beautifully matte complexion that lasts for up to 16 hours.

Out of all of the versions in our hunt for the best No7 foundation, the No7 Stay Perfect Superlight was one of our favourites. However, because the shade choices across these ranges vary so wildly, only a selection of the range features a suitable skin tone match (which for us is Warm Beige, for the record). Plus, the majority of foundation options only have around 15-20 shades, which is a really small selection by comparison to many other brands. No7 has, in many ways, changed the game when it comes to affordable, effective skincare and makeup.I tried No7 Beautifully Matte Foundation when I was in London last year. I was a bit smart and took a few samples home. Let me first tell you a bit about the foundation then I will tell you my thoughts and the experience I went through with the foundation and color choosing in the end. No7 claims that this foundation offers: We were unimpressed with this No7 foundation almost immediately. When applied with a foundation brush we could see streaks on top of the skin that clung to dry patches The shade came out lighter than expected, which is largely because of its SPF15 rating. The foundation worked well with silicone and water-based primers, and we preferred the look we used with the foundation brush because we felt it gave that bit more coverage where needed. Using a beauty blender gave more of a natural finish, which this foundation is designed to do and is ideal if that’s what you’re going for.
