Sephora Best Skin Ever Glow
I really only picked this up because I wanted to try more of Sephora’s own range when it launched here in The UK so I wasn’t expecting to love it but here we are. Two things sold me on this foundation,
The finish
2 The SHADE (17.5N)
I’m embarassed to tell you that 11 years in to this beauty blogging lark I realised I’d probably been erring on the wrong side of fair/medium and that a foundation that is too pale is far less forgiving than one that’s too deep. The number of reviews I’d like to go back and retest is painful. A base that’s too light will exhaggerate every imperfection but I’d been raised on such a fear of the ‘tide mark’ that if it was between two, I always went lighter.
So, that isn’t a win for this particular foundation but it’s worth noting because it may have swayed my opinion a little.
Coverage - Medium
Finish - Satin/Dewy - very natural
Wear - For a glowy foundation it wears reall well on my oily skin
Packaging - Glass bottle with a pump . I will say, it’s not a cheap foundation but the packaging doesn’t feel particularly luxe. I don’t have an issue with it but it’s nothing special.
If I was comparing this to the Collection Lasting Perfection Glow that I reviewed earlier in the week, this is my winner but it’s almost 3 times the price. This is less drying and looks nicer on the skin but that one has more staying power. I’d say if you’re really quite dry, you’ll prefer this one whereas if you’re looking for longer wear and are less bothered about finish, The Collection one may be more your thing.
