I've use this foundation for more than two years and I like it. It is not sticky and leaves the skin with a natural glow. But I don't actually use it as foundation all over my face, I apply it with...

Tl;dr: - Built-in highlighter, rather than dewy finish - Medium to full coverage - Tones have more warm/pink undertone than most Bourjois products, don't be fooled by labels - Hard to blend - Looks...

Well-priced, decent formula for everyday wear - especially for humans with pale complexions and cool/yellow undertones. As a make-up lover, I am always on the hunt for cheap foundations that work...

I'm not going to be running out of this product as it's awful! Used once and won't again. I tested it one evening and left it on, which seemed to be fine. I've worn it today and it's oxidised on my...

I just bought this despite the reviews and I really like it so far. It is definitely a radiant finish, so if you like a matte foundation you won't like this. It stayed on pretty much all day and...

I've been a massive fan of Bourjois foundations for over a decade. I wish I could say City Radiance is on par with my favorites, Healthy Mix and Healthy Mix Serum, but I'm afraid it isn't. In fact,...

I was left so disappointed with my foundation. I have dry skin so I was drawn to this "radiance" foundation that claims to have a "brightening effect". I always like to give a foundation the...
