• Full coverage: hides imperfections and redness
• Lasts up to 24 hours without touch-ups
• SPF20 adds an extra layer of protection
• Smudge-proof and resistant to sweat and oil
• Evens out your complexion for a smoother look
• Contains moisturising ingredients like glycerin and hyaluronic acid
• Volume: 30 ml in a handy pump bottle
• Shade 110 Light Vanilla: light with a warm-neutral undertone

1. Start with clean, hydrated skin. Use a good day cream as a baSis, especially if your skin tends to be dry.
2. Apply a small amount of foundation to your forehead, cheeks, nose and chin.
3. Blend the foundation out with a sponge, brush or your fingers. Work from the centre outwards for an even finish.
4. Build up coverage where needed by applying a second layer to areas you want to conceal more.
5. Set the foundation with a light powder if your skin gets shiny quickly.

Want to complete your look? The Always Fabulous 24h Extreme Concealer is a perfect addition: it covers dark circles and spots that your foundation doesn’t fully hide and lasts just as long.

The foundation forms a thin, flexible layer on your skin that doesn’t fade or transfer easily. This is thanks to film-forming ingredients in the formula that keep the makeup in place, even when you sweat. At the same time, glycerin and hyaluronic acid ensure your skin doesn’t dry out under the foundation. It stays comfortable, even after a long day. As a long-lasting foundation with SPF, it also provides baSis UVB protection for daily use. If you have sensitive skin, it’s good to know the formula contains Le Parfum, which can cause reactions in some people. The Bourjois Always Fabulous Light Vanilla Foundation is a strong choice for those prioritising coverage and durability.

The foundation works best on normal, combination or oily skin. The formula includes Mattened talc and Silicones that control shine, making it a good foundation for oily skin. It keeps the T-zone in check without making your skin look heavy or cakey.

Is the Bourjois Always Fabulous foundation suitable for dry skin? It depends. If you apply a good moisturising day cream first, you can wear it on drier skin too. Without that baSis, the foundation may highlight dry patches rather than conceal them. If you truly have dry skin, a hydrating foundation might be a better choice.

If you want to try the Always Fabulous range in another shade, check out the Always Fabulous 120 Light Ivory Foundation or the Always Fabulous 415 Sand Foundation for a warmer or darker tone.

Yes, it’s designed for 24-hour wear and resists sweat and oil. Most people find it stays put all day without needing touch-ups.

This is due to the combination of film-forming ingredients and Silicones in the formula. They keep the foundation in place even as your skin produces oils. If you have very oily skin, you can extend wear by setting the foundation with a translucent powder.

The foundation contains fragrance and some scent ingredients. If your skin reacts easily to fragrance in makeup, it’s good to be aware before buying.

If you have sensitive skin but no fragrance allergy, you can still try the foundation. To be sure you won’t react, test a small patch on your jaw or wrist first. If you want a fragrance-free foundation, brands like Catrice or some L'Oréal options might be safer for you.

Does the Bourjois Always Fabulous Light Vanilla hold up better compared to other drugstore foundations? Definitely. While Maybelline SuperStay is known to be very matte and sometimes drying, Bourjois Always Fabulous combines long wear with moisturising ingredients. This makes it more comfortable for long days.

L'Oréal Infallible 24H Fresh Wear has a lighter texture and a wider shade range, which is helpful if you need a very light or dark tone. Catrice HD Liquid Coverage Foundation is even Matter but doesn’t include SPF.

The Bourjois Always Fabulous Light Vanilla Foundation is your best bet if you want full coverage, all-day wear and baSis UVB protection all in one. If your skin is very dry or sensitive to fragrance, consider a fragrance-free or extra hydrating alternative.
