The No7 Stay Perfect foundation is highly buildable and works well with a silicone primer. It was easy to work into the skin and it gave a natural finish, which we liked. Apply both a hydrating serum and moisturizing face cream before using foundation to keep skin nourished and plump , and to minimize creasing. Step 2: Prime We found this No7 foundation left our skin looking ashy at first. It did slightly oxidise, but we still had to add a little bronzer to warm our complexion up. This foundation contains SPF15 and the consistency holds the SPF, which is why there was a slight white cast. We suggest going a shade darker. This skincare infused foundation with SPF 50+ is powered by our highly acclaimed No7 Protect & Perfect Intense Advanced Serum technology. Better yet, the unique blend of optical blurring particles instantly reflect light away from fine lines whilst the flexible formula with a medium coverage moves seamlessly with your skin, flexing and stretching with every facial movement for a smooth, flawless finish.

No7 has, in many ways, changed the game when it comes to affordable, effective skincare and makeup. Foundation is an essential part of any make-up kit. It acts as a base on which you build up your entire make-up look. It can give you a boost of confidence by covering up your imperfections such as spots, blemishes and dark circles and gives your face a blank and even canvas for you to work with. But it can only work its magic if the colour matches your skin tone. 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.

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. Skincare infused, buildable coverage foundation, enriched with age defying skincare technology from our highly acclaimed Protect & Perfect Advanced Serum: 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 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.
