I can always tell how well the foundation spreads by the little hairs above my brows. With the Bourjois Healthy Mix foundations i can't see the foundation on my face when i smooth it all out. But with this Rimmel foundation, there are clumps and dry looking patches on my face.
Not only that, it doesn't spread yet is thick like a cream. I found the best way to use it is to pat it into my skin like a night cream. It clumps up on little hairs on the face and you can add more to fill in the gaps but it feels so thick already so i wouldn't want to do that.
After managing to get it on the skin without it being patchy, i was sad to see no coverage at all. On my freckles i can understand why, but on the minor pinkness in my skin? NO foundation has ever let the redness show through.
In conclusion, this foundation is horrible. It is more like a tinted moisturiser yet worse because it doesn't spread nicely either. It might work better on oily skin i suppose but the coverage is 1/10. It works great if you want almost no coverage and look natural but as i said, it clumps up on fine hairs on the face so you're better off with a tinted moisturiser.
I'm around NC20 in mac and the shade 100 Ivory matched me pretty well. Usually i got for the light-medium shades so i'm pretty surprised 'ivory' suited me. Maybe the Bourjois foundation is just too amazing and my standards have gone through the roof? :)
