This reminded me that I had my own tube of this foundation lurking in the back of my make-up drawer, and I've since rediscovered my love for it. Its name is totally accurate; – even, perfected and radiant in a very natural looking way and, unlike a lot of foundations, it stays looking like this all day long; no creasing or settling into pores.

It last me for 12 good hours but just to note that this is medium coverage so it tend to get not so good at the end of the day. But overall, the best medium-coverage foundation!"

A third person called it a "," adding that "the colour was spot on".

"Not blaming the consultant at all, must be tricky on a video call and with a bit of a tan or bronzer it would be fine."

If you instead prefer your foundation with lighter coverage and more glow, you might like , £35, instead – you can .

Two more face bases that I've been loving recently are the new , £34, and my go-to , £39.90.
