Bourjois 123 Perfect Foundation Review

Hello Ladies,

Hope you all are doing fantastic! The day is quiet slow today, NO? This week is full of settlements, finalizing impending decisions, closing old chapters, new beginnings, movements and decisions, decisions and decisions! So I better be prepared,right? I am kind off, I GUESS! :p Anyways, today I am reviewing one of the pretty new launches by Bourjois, the Bourjois 123 Perfect Foundation.

Price, Quantity and Availability :

Ingredients :

Packaging :

Bourjois 123 Perfect Foundation comes in a glass bottle with a pump! Very Bourjois! 

My Thoughts on the Bourjois 123 Perfect Foundation :
Bourjois is one of those brands whom I totally rely on for my base makeup! Like totally! I find only Bourjois, Revlon and Maxfactor from the Drugstore brands to have enough pink undertones, to match my skin tone!  I have gotten over with my Healthy Mix Foundation, which I completely love and adore, you can read my complete review HERE. SO obviously a replacement is worth, I did not really “replace” it, I have a back up for the Healhty Mix but I thought, Bourjois 123 Perfect Foundation is a sure try for me! 

Basically Bourjois 123 Perfect Foundation claims to have color correcting properties in it!

It also has a SPF and hydration property, so they weren’t any chances of me skipping this one! Read on to know more about this one!

Texture/Consistency :
Velvety and thick!

Here are some swatches ,

What’s to LOVE about the Bourjois 123 Perfect Foundation :

• Pumps for foundations are always great! LOVE!
• Price and the quantity is corresponding! You ain’t paying more for less, or less for more! You get 30ml of the product which shall roughly last your for half an year I guess, with regular usage and trust me you do not need a lot of the product to get the right coverage and finish.
• The texture is smooth and velvety!
• Has a semi matte finish! It’s more of the matte side though!
• Thick and pigmented!
• Has a good coverage! A GORGEOUS COVERAGE infact! 
• Blends beautifully into the skin! True, it claims to be the second skin!
• Has a very mild fragrance!
• Doesn’t melt!
• Doesn’t transform onto the tissue and blotting sheet!
• Has SPF 10
• Doesn’t dry up my skin. N either did it cause any kind of break outs or irritation.
• Now the twist, I can skip my concealer with CLOSED EYES with this foundation! Reasons? It’s thick; it has a good blend of pigments which go on luxuriously on the face covering the blemishes, marks, redness and all the “good” jazz. 😛 I even covers up my under eye circles and any sort of pigmentation or discoloration.
• The lasting power is incredible, it would last you a whole day with power touchups of course!
• Paraben free
• Bourjois 123 Perfect Foundation takes care of my tiny pores around the nose and chin! 
• Has a very natural and flawless radiant finish!Doesn’t oxidize either.
• I use my Inglot Foundation Brush to apply it, and it does not have a streaky finish, even with its thick consistency!

What’s to HATE about the Bourjois 123 Perfect Foundation :

I think the less number of shades! 

Final Verdict :
Like all my Bourjois Foundations, I COMPLETELY love this one too! It is one of my regular used basis, there are times when I have to mix this with a lighter shade foundation to get the perfect color at times, but other than that it is just perfect! I love how it looks and lasts on my skin!  I RECOMMEND you guys to give it a shot and I am pretty sure you wouldn’t HATE a thing about it! Another gorgeous foundation by the brand!  Total LOVE material!
