I picked up the Vichy Dermablend Fluid Corrective Foundation when
I was looking for a good going out makeup. I was heading to my friends 21st
and had gotten a spray tan that made me look like I had just walked out of the Sahara
so none of my foundations matched my newly bronzed skin. I was in boots
searching for the right foundation when I stopped by the Vichy stand, I
remembered I had seen a Vichy ad popping up just before watching a video on YouTube
showcasing the foundation so I started to swatch and one of the colours matched
my skin it also appeared to give a great coverage so I decided to buy it and
had enough points on my Boots card so I didn’t feel like I had to spend
anything extra.
It costs €20.99 in Boots and currently is on offer for only
€15.74. It’s slightly more expensive than some brands but I think it’s worth
it.

Not to blow my own trumpet but I like to think I have good
skin, apart from the a blemish during the month and having some rosy cheeks I
don’t think I need to wear too much make up and most of the makeup I have is
very sheer anyway. Even though I do tend to wear sheer makeup on a daily basis
I think for a night out or special occasion I do like that little bit more
coverage.

The Vichy Dermablend Fluid Corrective Foundation can be slightly
off putting at first as it can come out looking like it will be very high
coverage but the more you blend it in it does get lighter looking while at the
same time covering any imperfections that needs to be covered.
It covers up every imperfection and gives you such a smooth
airbrushed finish that I haven’t seen in any other foundation. As it says in
its blurb online it is a “camouflaging makeup and conceals minor to moderate
skin imperfections” and it definitely lives up to that. It also has a high SPF
of 35 which is the highest I’ve ever seen in a foundation and great especially
in these hot summer months.
I did read that it can cover up tattoos so I asked my friend
if she would help me to test this theory out as I don’t have any tattoos. I put
in on the tattoo and as you can see in the pictures it didn’t cover it up
entirely. I didn’t put any concealer underneath so maybe if I did it would have
helped it to get completely covered.

It is very long lasting and there isn’t too much transfer,
although I did notice that after ringing someone on my phone the screen was
left with a bit more makeup than usual.
I have oily skin and after a while it did get a bit more
greasy and shiny than other foundations, also around my cheeks where I’m a bit
dryer it can catch and gather in patches. That being said I still think it’s a
really good makeup and when my skin is behaving it does actually work well, I think
I just need to play around with different primers, I found that one of the ones
I have work better than the others.
It won’t leave you with cake face and isn’t heavy like other
makeups so you skin will still be able to breath so if you do have problem skin
it won’t be getting clogged and made worse.
There’s a few other products in the Dermablend range that I
would like to try like the concealer and powder.
It wouldn’t be my everyday foundation but for a night time
or special occasion I will be wearing it, I would consider buying it again,
especially as it matches my tan.
Have you tried any of the products from the Dermablend
range? Let me know what you thought.
