I've been looking for a full coverage foundation for when my skin is not my friend and I need a lot of help to cover breakouts. I thought I'd give Vichy Dermablend a whirl as it states that it camouflages mild to moderate imperfections for up to 16 hours. It turns out that I'm really glad I did!
I got two colours- 15 opal and 25 nude so I could combine and get the perfect shade match to my skin. I find it sets quickly so I've been buffing it in with my Real Techniques expert face brush and then making sure I blend it out. It gives excellent coverage which you can build up over problem areas without the need for a separate concealer (although if you have more severe blemishes you may need to conceal as well).
Having combination skin I find that some foundations can look patchy and dry when covering blemishes but this doesn't dehydrate my skin at all - it actually helps keep my skin hydrated but not oily which is a real bonus!
A little of this product goes a long way and although I expected it to feel quite heavy, as it gives such a high level of coverage, it's surprisingly light. It leaves you with a soft focus finish and actually looks more natural than some sheer foundations I have tried! After setting with powder I find it lasts me around 8-9 hours before it starts to look a little oily but the coverage is the same as when I first applied so with a bit more powder it's fresh again- amazing!
This is definitely one of my favourite foundations and if you're interested in trying it out you can get hold of it from Boots for £15.50.
