Bourjois 123 Perfect Foundation Review

Yaz April 17, 2015     2 Comments     Beauty, Makeup

So a couple of months ago picked up the Bourjois 123 Perfect foundation as I’d already tried the Bourjois 123 Perfect CC cream (review here) and quite liked that so felt it only appropriate that I try the foundation too 🙂
bourjous 123 perfect foundation review
Apparently, Bourjois foundations are more yellow toned than a lot of other drug store foundations. Pink tones just don’t look great on me at all, they make me look too warm and enhance the redness I have too. I’ve tanned/sallow skin so have very very obvious yellow tones. Some days I actually think I look like a Simpsons character lol!

I picked up shade no.54 first but it was too dark. I think in the summer when I’ve a tan it will look much better. So I went and got shade no.53 then and that’s much better!bourjous shade 53 and 54

What I like about the 123 range is that they have a few different pigments in them:
1. Yellow pigments – conceals dark circles for a rested look
2. Mauve pigments – corrects dullness for radiance
3. Green pigments – neutralises redness for an even out the complexion

Other benefits they state:
lasts for 16 hours
gives 24hr hydration
cotton flower ingredients hydration & anti shine
non comodogenic, lets skin breathe

As you can see below it evens out my skin tones and covers redness. I have some blush on in the pic below though, I forgot to take a pic straight after applying 😉

I find the consistency is light and creamy-not too watery or too thick. It makes it very easy to apply and I’m left with a semi-matte finish.
I use my F20 Flat Buffer Brush from Black Canvas Cosmetics (review here) to apply it by the way.

I would have oily skin around my nose but there is no shine or excess oiliness after a long day.
I find no dryness around my cheek area which is a common problem for most people with foundations.

I don’t feel it does a great job with my under eye circles, though I do find the darkness under my eyes very hard to cover anyway! I took this picture after a long day(lasts well anyway!) so the darkness could be smudged eye-liner/mascara and different lighting.

Overall

I’m very happy with this and it’s my go to foundation at the moment. It covers just enough without looking heavy and lasts all day without any shine.

I’m hoping the shade 54 looks OK in the summer when I’m more tanned or else the search will begin again…..but we all know as a beauty addict I’m gonna want to try new foundations regardless! 😛

Tell me what your fave foundation is at the moment and any you’d recommend for yellow tones? I’ve heard Stila and Bobbi Brown are good for yellow tines skin?!

    I LOVE Bourjois! Their healthy mix serum no. 53 is lovely. I also love BB creams so thanks for the heads up. Must try that. Rimmel are currently doing a lovely BB cream too.

Instagram post 2198015240780499109_229265379 Love my nw  short hair, thinking of going even shorter. Rarely have my hair curled so its even longer when its straight. My hair is much easier to manage now it’s short and it looks thicker after discovering I have alopecia areata. Had to change my parting to cover the bald spot. That alone was a wake up call to look after myself better and make time for me. So this is your *reminder* to look after yourself this Christmas, take a few hours away from the shopping, put the phone away just relax with a cuppa and for the love of god take your vitamins 🙃

Instagram post 2191762419487808903_229265379 Absolute imposter syndrome being at the @primark Christmas event this evening, not gonna lie 🙈, coz I know I’m a small fish with a small following (but may I say very awesome supportive followers and not “hate following”!!! 🙌🏽💕) compared to the big bloggers at these events and also I’m not very naturally glam like the big fashion bloggers....nor am I really a fashion blogger 🙈😂 I’m a just a ma who likes to shop in Penneys like the rest of us😄 And look I do know it’s not all about followers, it’s about engagement and real followers who trust you. I’ve been blogging 9 years now and have people following me that whole time since 2010 which is amazing! Ok off on a tangent now! Goodnight! 🌑 . .

And yes, I’m covering my butt cheek practically hanging out here with a strategically placed hashtag ok?! 🤣 📸 @thebargainbuyer

Instagram post 2189567205180430490_229265379 Found this swivel fridge container yoke (honestly dunno what it’s called but that sounds accurate enough right?!) in @tkmaxxie the other day for €9.99.
.

Isn’t it deadly? I was all excited filling it up and swivelling it today in the kitchen going “wheeeee” so the kids and himself came in to see what I was ooooh and aahhing about. They looked at me like I had 10 heads and said I was a weirdo being so excited about it 🤷🏽‍♀️😂 genuinely think its so handy though, love it! .. Edit: someone on my fb page told me it actually called a “lazy susan” 🙌🏽😂
