However this is genuinely a brilliant concept! I honestly think the packaging is what everyone would be going on about, had the shade selection been more inclusive. I've said it before and I'll say it again: a lot of brands try to innovate and end up missing the mark, giving us gimmicky products that no one really asked for. On the positive side: the packaging is genius! It also defeats the functionality of the packaging to faff around with two bottles. I can get something that looks decent by mixing in a bit of 3.55, but realistically I shouldn't have to and you guys aren't reasonably going to purchase more than one shade of this just to get a colour match when there are other foundations out there. I know this is going to be a no-go when that fades and we head into the colder months. I can just about get away with it now, after being on holiday in Italy and getting some serious colour whilst I was there.

I think the photos are really misleading too, as they show people with darker skin than me wearing far lighter shades than mine.ģ.70 can also only loosely be described as a 'match' - as people have pointed out from the photos online: these shades do run very orange-toned. There are a couple of shades in-between the ones I have, but some of them are cool-toned so wouldn't be right for me.
I have three shades here as it just felt a bit wasteful to take all of the colours I knew I'd have no use for, and there are enough swatches and videos on the internet showing what they all look like. However when the shades were swatched it was clear that the gradient was all wrong! There were variations of very similar shades on the lighter end of the spectrum with a handful of deeper options tacked onto the end, like a bit of an afterthought.Īs an NC40 girl, I'm kind of on the cusp of where the shade selection deteriorated! My closest match is the shade 3.70 which is way over on the darker end of the spectrum, which seems off given that I'm pretty 'slap bang in the middle' when it comes to the range of human skin tones.

So, what do I think of it all? Keep reading to find out.Įveryone's issue with this foundation when it launched was, of course, the shade range! It's a real shame because I don't think it was intentional - the marketing images show people of all ages, ethnicities and genders, plus it comes in an impressive 32 shades.
When the new BeautyBlender Bounce Foundation* | £32 | landed in the US, it's fair to say it caused a bit of social media storm.which we'll get into! Opinions were flying left, right and centre but Cult Beauty kindly sent me this over to try for myself.
