If you’re an avid ready of my blog, you’ll probably
know that my favourite foundation is currently the ByTerry Cover
Expert foundation (hence the title!). I initially picked this
foundation up on a whim; it was very much an impromptu purchase, as I don’t
really tend to randomly pick up products that I have researched first. When I
got home I read up some reviews (totally backwards way of purchasing, I know)
and someone wrote “Expensive, but totally worth the money” and from then on, I
knew that this foundation was going to be a winner!
The foundation is packaged in a tube, which in all honesty
isn’t my favourite, I much prefer a bottle as I think it’s more aesthetically
pleasing, but if you travel a lot, then this form of packaging would probably be
more suitable. However, with that being said, it does make it easier to control
the amount of product that’s dispersed. The only quam I have with the packaging
is that the writing does wear off and with an expensive product I wouldn’t
expect it to.
The foundation itself is has a nice velvet finish which
makes it very versatile; if you want a matte finish, you can apply a powder and
for a more dewy finish, apply an illuminating primer beforehand or highlight
after. This foundation leave the face looking very natural and it blends in so
easily. I’ve worn this for day and night and I haven’t noticed it to flashback
in photos and it only ever so slightly oxidizes. It’s a nice medium coverage
that can be worn relatively sheer, or built up to full coverage, covering most
blemishes. Regardless of how much product you apply, it still remains a really
lightweight product.
There is quite a broad shade range, of 14 colours
varying from very pale to relatively dark. This product has an RRP of £45.00
and there’s 35ml worth of product (more than most other foundations).
Have you tried this foundation? What’s your current
favourite base product?
