Dermacol foundation?

Is it worth they hype?

Retailing at £14.95 and offering extremely pale shade 208, if I need a super pale and full coverage foundation, is it worth the money?

What you need to know is that it's quite oily and thick theatrical makeup. Used to use it (and similar brands) when I was a teenage theatre nerd. We were always taught to use a thick coat of moisturiser to protect the skin underneath and then powder the he'll out of it to set it. After performance, take every scrap of it off and then more moisturiser to protect the skin.

It's great for stage/ film settings where lighting etc can be used to good effect and it will cover anything, but as a foundation? Nope. Even on its Web page the blurb suggests it's a 'cover' not a foundation.

If you need a good full coverage foundation I believe the L'Oréal Infallible and Revlon Colorstay are rated highly for drugstore foundations.

It's really heavy and quite greasy, I wouldn't recommend it.

£13 with prime on amazon. Very pale. Little goes a long way so my tube lasted forever. Mixed with a bit of moisturiser I liked it. Brilliant coverage.
