DermacolFull Coverage Matte Foundation with SPF 30, Waterproof Foundation for Oily Skin, Acne, & Under Eye Bags, Long-Lasting Makeup, 30g - Shade 221

I was hesitant to buy foundation online without having sampled it in a shop. I usually want to ensure it's a good colour match and I like the texture etc. given that it was about a third in price of what I usually pay, I went ahead and bought 2 as I couldn't decide on the shade. I tried it today for the first time and I was initially unsure. I sampled it first and it was really thick, so thought it would feel greasy and heavy on my skin - but I was wrong! The tube was smaller than expected, but a little goes a long way! I used a fraction of what I'd usually use. It blends well, and the coverage is amazing! I'm 53 so have fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots and uneven skin tone. I wanted good coverage but for it not to feel like a mask. This far exceeded my expectations! Both shades just seemed to match my skin really well and stayed put all day with no top ups or powder required. Once dry, you don't feel you're wearing any foundation and leaves your skin nice to touch with absolutely no transfer - even on a white shirt! I never upload reviews with images but I was so impressed with this, I wanted to tell everyone to buy this! It's a game changer. I will not be paying £40+ again for well known brands - I'll definitely be buying this. The price is great but it's not the reason I'll buy again, it's for the quality and performance. I'm not great at makeup, so ignore any issues you identify- but here's a pic of earlier today, no filters and in natural light. Not a dark spot in sight! Love it

Bought to cover tattoos - AMAZING! Only a small amount covers them so easily, super waterproof - will be buying again in future (also smells really good)

Little goes a long way and you can’t get anymore “full coverage” than this. 4 stars because it easily runs onto fabric so you must use a fixing spray!! It’s so much hassle to get out of clothes because it also has an oily texture (not visible on your face) as well as the strong pigment.

This is probably the best foundation I've owned! This has incredible coverage. It looks quite thick when it comes out but when applying it only takes a few dots and it smooths out so well. I have very textured and dry skin so I was apprehensive but it's amazing.It feels soft on my skin and doesn't highlight blemishes.Great for my skin tone as I have porceline skin and chose the lightest colour.I can't recommend this enough.I have tried a range of foundations from loreal to max factor to charlotte tilbury airbrush foundation and more expensive brands costing over £40-60 and this is the best I've tried for my skin type. I have yet to try it throughout the day but I have been wearing this for 3hrs now and it's not budged and my skin looks impeccable.

I've wanted to try this foundation for a while as its full coverage i've seen the videos of it covering tattoos etc and i have acne scars i like to cover.This foundation is definitely full coverage however it just didn't work for my skin type. I'm 39 with combination skin and unfortunately this product didn't sit well on my skin. It did cover up my acne scars and uneven skin tone but it seems to highlight every other flaw such as bumps and fine lines. I think it dries the skin out but if .you try moisturiser underneath it it turns greasy and leaves you with a shiny face no matter how much powder you set it with. The positives are that a lot goes a long way you only need a small amount to cover the face and it blended really well, glad i tried it but I wont be buying again.

Absolutely bloody awful it's like putting on cement it shows every single lump, bump crease , wrinkle it's going in the bin!

The media could not be loaded. Brilliant coverage, this product has given me the option to wear the wedding dress I want so I couldn’t be happier, iv ordered a darker colour to mix with this and get my colour as close as I can, is it perfect, no but it will defiantly take your eye off my tattoo that’s currently undergoing laser removal but that takes years

Could work as a cheap foundation, although there are better ones on the market with greater staying power.Like a few other users, I must note that this will not cover your dark tattoos, they will still be visible underneath - so don't expect a miracle. At best, you will see a muted version underneath.The product never fully dries down. It will transfer onto your clothes, furniture, and anything else. This is even after setting with setting powder, or pattting dry in-between layers.Finally, I purchased the lightest shade, which was a perfect shade match until it oxidised to a more yellowy-orange around the edges where it did manage to somewhat dry.Altogether, this isn't something I can recommend.
