Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation v Serum

[INeedSomeHelp]

I usually use No 7 Intelligent Colour Foundation but fancy trying something new.
I've seen the Bourjois Healthy Mix raved about on here but I'm confused as to whether I should get the foundation or serum.
I am in my 40s and have fairly good skin (although I do get the occasional breakout). I would say my skin is normal, if a bit sensitive, although I do get a bit of a greasy t-zone.
Which would you suggest?

I've been looking at trying this too - I think that the serum is for drier skin?

Anyone else?

The serum is much lighter coverage. More like tinted moisturizer. I really love the foundation. HTH.

whyno is the foundation quite heavy? I prefer something light but probably looking for slightly more coverage that a tinted moisturiser

No, not at all. I find it quite light but a definite foundation. I bought both as I wasn't sure and I just felt that whilst the serum felt lovely, it really didn't give any cover.

That's really helpful thanks. Think it's time to admit that I can't get away with too light a cover anymore!

inneed i tried both,and like the foundation better,good coverage and a little goes a long way,but found it a bit heavy for summer now,so switched to urban decay bb.

the serum makes my skin looks shiny,i think its meant for mature skin, hated it.

both are on special at asos right now

Hmmm at 43 I could be considered to have mature skin I think!

I much prefer the foundation - the coverage is medium/full depending on how much you build it up, but it always looks very natural. It lasts a long time on the face without separating or transferrring, and doesn't cause me any spots or irritation (which is unusual). The colours are great, also.

I haven't tried the foundation but love love love the serum. I have quite good skin, gets quite dry but also a bit congested - it just makes me look v healthy and glowy without looking too made-up. Also it's in nice pale shades. I'm 30 btw.

I really didn't like the health mix serum. It was just like gloopy slimy foundation.

I haven't tried the health mix only, but am planning to.

(I am 47 and dry)

(I can highly recommed Rimmel Wake Me Up though, don't think I will ever buy ££££s foundation again!)

The serum version seems gives a nice soft finish on my dry skin, I don't need an awful lot of coverage though so it's good for me.

Whst is the most popular shade for the health mix without the serum ?
I normally go for a nude shade being blue eyed blonde.

I am blue eyed blonde (think Boris Becker/Johnson in the eyelash department) and use 51 which is the lightest, even though in winter I do dobble a bit of Maybelline eraser on top which is lighter as I feel the 51 is a bit too dark still
