Some days ask a lot of a foundation. You leave the house at eight, you are in and out of the sun, you sit in air conditioning, you have dinner plans, and you would rather not think about your base once between morning and midnight. That is the day Bourjois Always Fabulous Mat was built for: a light, matte foundation that holds for up to 24 hours and still looks like skin.
Why you will love this matte foundation
The formula feels like nothing going on. It is fluid rather than thick, so it spreads thin and even, yet the coverage is full enough to even out redness, dark marks and the shadow around the nose. Once it sets it turns properly matte and stays that way, which is exactly what you want when the weather is working against you.
- Up to 24-hour wear, so it survives work, traffic and an evening out
- Full coverage that still reads as skin rather than a mask
- Natural matte finish that keeps shine down through a hot day
- Lightweight, comfortable texture that does not sit in fine lines
- Blends easily with a brush, sponge or fingers
- Transfer-resistant once set, so it stays on you and off your collar
- Shade 06 Golden Sun: a warm, golden medium tone that suits olive and warm Egyptian skin
What it does
A thin, even layer evens out tone and covers marks, while the matte finish keeps oil from breaking through the base during the day. Because the coverage is buildable you can keep it light for daytime and add a second layer only where you need it, which is how the finish stays undetectable.
Who it is for
For oily and combination skin, for anyone who needs makeup to last a full Cairo day, and for warm and golden medium skin tones looking for a shade that does not pull grey or pink. Also a strong pick for events, weddings and photography, where a matte base photographs cleanly.
How to use it
- Start with clean, moisturised skin and let your moisturiser absorb first
- Apply a small amount at the centre of the face and blend outward
- Build a second thin layer only where you need more coverage
- Set the T-zone with a light pressed powder if your skin runs very oily
