No7 Airbrush foundation, any good?

I usually use their stay perfect but I'm wondering about giving this s try. I've 48, don't have any wrinkles, a few open pores and a slight oily T zone. Has anyone tried it with similar skin, is it any good? Thanks

I've tried it and I don't like it. It sort of sits on top of your skin and it feels chalky.

Also the packaging - it's in a glass bottle with a pipette and it's a PITA to get any of the foundation out.

I agree Ubik - the pipette idea is rubbish - the colour they suggested was spot on though - and I use a brush to blend it in but i find it a faff to use .. .

Thanks for your replies. I use a brush to apply anyway but the pipette sounds a bit odd

Beware the colour match. The assistant used her gadget on me then suggested a colour at least a shade darker than I have for the other no7 foundations. I took a sample home to try and it was way too far for me.
Agree the pipette look like a faff.

Hadn't even thought about colour match Chippy! I'd just thought I'd be the same cool ivory in all the foundations hmmm I think I'll have to brave going to town to try it. Hate shopping Shock

I think the pipettes are a 'thing' with this type of foundation, but I think they're much less practical than say a cushion foundation.

I think the Maybelline and L'Oreal versions (I think the Maybelline one doesn't have a pipette?) are better. The Maybelline one feels lovely.

I've used it. Probley the best colour match I've had but really didn't like it. It sat on top of my face like ubik said and it came of really patchy on me and didn't last long.

I don't like it; I had such high hopes but admit I'm a tad disappointed. The pipette is a pain in the arse and though I quite like how it feels, I think it looks chalky. I'm honestly at a loss with foundation, I'm 48 years old and have NEVER found a foundation that I've bought more than once!
