If you still want some coverage, but without anyone knowing you’re wearing a foundation, this is for you. The texture feels creamy to apply, and within seconds it soaks into your skin to even out redness and boost radiance.
The problem: I can’t seem to match my skin to a foundation shade.

Your solution: Remember, you need to swap your foundation shades going from summer to winter, as your skin will often be paler. One of the biggest make-up errors is the foundation line around the chin area, so always blend it down onto your neck.
If you’re not sure which shade to go for, we recommend Max Factor Miracle Match Foundation,Boots available, as it’s formulated especially to blend into all ranges of skin tones.
The problem: My skin is so dry, foundation only makes it look patchy.

Your solution: You might be using one that is too thick or drying for your complexion. Make sure you apply a good moisturiser, and let it sink in for at least five minutes before applying any base. Opt for a moisturising foundation, like GOSH Foundation Drops, Superdrug.
You can use a couple of drops and apply directly onto skin, but our tip is to mix it into your regular moisturiser. Apply with a blending brush for a dewy base.
