I need to tell you about my new foundation

It’s by Dcypher.

Not a brand I’d ever heard of until the other day.

I uploaded a pic and selected whether I wanted full coverage/medium/sheer and tick the box for dry skin.

Well, it came today and it’s a revelation. After decades, and a draw full of unused ones, I finally found the one for me.

Im amazed they have got my shade spot on and it’s really easy to apply, no spending ages smoothing it out.

Just thought I’d pass this on incase anyone else is searching for the holy grail

What are you planning to do with that draw full of unused ones?

twiddlingthumbs69 · 28/03/2026 20:23

Ha! I’ve no idea. I’d given up on ever finding the right one for me and stopped wearing any foundation years ago. They’re so old I’ll probably have to bin them

Squeeze contents out and recycle on the Boots app!

Supermarkets often have recycleable boxes for make up, don't think you have to empty it.

Can I ask how old you are? I'm nearly 40 and really struggling with coverage in my fine lines under my eyes, it just creases after a few mins 😩

If anyone knows how to post links properly I am happy to be instructed as it isn't working!

sounds like Eminem’s backing group’s alter ego 🤣

Certainly looks like an advert, and not one that tempts me to try the product. Impossible to match skin tone using a photo. Different lighting and monitors show subtle colours quite differently. Trustpilot has lots of reviewers saying the colour was wrong for them.

twiddlingthumbs69 · 29/03/2026 14:52

@LemograssLollipop no not an advert. I have no affiliation with them at all I was just so amazed it worked I thought I’d share

@Anewerforest not an advert but aware I sound like one. I was hugely sceptical about it but it got my shade spot on. I just wanted to share incase anyone else had trouble finding a good one

Drawer. But never mind. If you’re advertising it doesn’t matter.

twiddlingthumbs69 · 29/03/2026 14:59

@Imenti I’m 62 and have a fair few lines and very dry skin. I went for the sheer natural finish. It also asks if your skin is dry/oil.
I it seems to cover the lines very well. Doesn’t accentuate them, which has always been a problem for me. I’ve been wearing it 5 hrs so far today and it’s stayed put, hasn’t sunk into my lines etc. I’m aware I sound like I’m promoting it, I’m not. I just thought I’d share my experience

Does anyone remember the Warehouse Annie sweaters? They had sparkle on the shoulders and down the sleeves. Knitted, crewe neck... I did a search but nothing is coming up.

Nutcrackerglasses · 30/03/2026 19:13

I was wondering why there wasn't an option for a title! Sorry OP I'll start my own thread! 😬

Sorry, you obviously are a genuine fan of the product. There seems to have been a spate of fake adverts recently which made me suspicious. Glad you found the right colour match, though I am surprised it was possible from a photo.

I’ve just taken the leap and ordered some. It won’t scan your face until the light is adequate. I had to go outside. Anyway, I’ll report back!
