In Bourjois's foundation range, the Always Fabulous line focuses on long-lasting coverage with a velvety finish. Here are the benefits you’ll notice daily:

• Fully covers redness, blemishes, and spots
• Stays on up to 24 hours without touch-ups
• Semi-Matte finish: no shine but not cakey
• SPF 20 for light sun protection
• Spreads easily and evenly on your skin
• Contains hyaluronic acid and glycerine for comfort
• Shade 120 Light Ivory for light skin tones

1. Start with clean, well-hydrated skin. Touch up dry spots first with a moisturiser.
2. Place a small amount of foundation on the back of your hand.
3. Apply the Bourjois Always Fabulous Light Ivory Foundation using a brush, sponge, or your fingers. Begin at the centre and blend outwards.
4. Build coverage where needed, such as on redness or blemishes.
5. Optional: set your makeup with a transparent powder for extra hold on the T-zone.

Want to cover dark circles or spots even better? The Always Fabulous 24h Extreme Concealer is designed to pair with this foundation, providing the same finish and lasting power.

Your skin looks even and cared for after applying, and it stays that way. The foundation adheres well and won’t slide off easily, even on an oilier T-zone. This is thanks to Silicones in the formula that create a thin film to keep the colour in place. At the same time, your skin won’t feel dry or tight, thanks to moisture-retaining hyaluronic acid. As a semi-Matte and high-coverage foundation in one, this is a solid choice if you want no touch-ups during the day. It’s ideal for combination skin needing long-lasting wear from a single application.

Yes, the Bourjois Always Fabulous Foundation works well for oily skin. The semi-Matte finish and film-forming ingredients keep shine under control, even on an oilier T-zone. Users with combination or oily skin report the foundation stays put and doesn’t break down during the day. If you have extremely oily skin and want maximum oil control, a full Matte foundation like Maybelline Superstay might perform better. For most with combination skin, Always Fabulous feels more comfortable while still holding well.

In practice, the foundation holds well throughout a full workday. Whether it lasts exactly 24 hours depends on your skin type and daily activities. Users with combination or normal skin notice it remains mostly intact by day's end. On dry skin or dry patches, it may become more noticeable if skin isn’t properly prepped. Using a good moisturiser underneath makes a big difference.

The Bourjois Always Fabulous Light Ivory Foundation contains fragrance and scent ingredients. That means it may be less suitable if your skin reacts sensitively to perfumes. If you have sensitive or perfume-sensitive skin, consider a fragrance-free foundation instead. For normal, combination, or oily skin not sensitive to perfume, this foundation works well.

Bourjois Always Fabulous Foundation stands out from other drugstore foundations by combining full coverage, 24-hour wear, and a velvety, non-mask-like finish. L'Oréal Infallible 24H offers lighter coverage with a more 'skin-like' look but tends to shine faster on oily skin. Maybelline Superstay is Matter and lasts longer on extremely oily skin but feels drier. Wondering if 120 Light Ivory suits you? Check the Always Fabulous 110 Light Vanilla Foundation for a warmer tone or the Always Fabulous 415 Sand Foundation for a deeper shade. Always Fabulous is your best bet for a comfortable, long-lasting foundation offering full coverage on normal to combination skin. Is bourjois always fabulous foundation suitable for oily skin? Yes, but for extremely oily skin, opt for a fully Matterende formula.
