When I’m finished, I can’t help but be instantly impressed by the extent to which it has delivered my ideal skin: healthy-looking and even in tone. It instantly eliminates signs of redness, gives my complexion a more even finish and blurs away any signs of dark spots and hyperpigmentation. The glow it gives isn’t the slightest bit ‘greasy’, a regular concern for my combination skin. When I assess my complexion, it still looks like my skin, just brighter.

If you’re not a fan of heavier formulas, you’ll love its texture. The balmy, buttery formula is lightweight, making it the perfect all-year-round option. And its staying power has held up against rainy days, heatwaves, travelling, weddings, BBQs and everything else in between. Since trying it, it has become a staple in my make-up routine and I’ve even noticed I receive more compliments on my ‘glowy skin’ whenever I’m wearing it.

So, like I said, if you ask to rummage through my make-up bag, you’ll likely see something from Vieve – and at the moment, it’ll definitely include this foundation.
