REVIEW: Bourjois Healthy Mix

My first review - how exciting! I purchased this foundation a few months ago so I thought I'd give my opinion and let you know what I think :)

The Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Gel Foundation promises 16 hour radiance, anti-fatigue result and a vitamin rich fruit therapy formula for an even complexion. I think this foundation definitely makes your skin appear brighter and the dewy finish really does make you look more 'bright.' As someone who has a slightly uneven skin tone it evens outs my skin tone beautifully without giving a heavy coverage.  


Although it’s marketed as a gel foundation it’s no different to any liquid formulation. I like that you can put this foundation on your skin and still have plenty of time to blend it before it drys. I'd say it gives a medium coverage although it is buildable and I’ve had so many compliments on my skin while wearing this. It gives a healthy, dewy finish and I only need one pump of this to do my entire face so it definitely goes a long way too - always a plus!!
At £10.99 this foundation is on the more expensive end of high street foundations but I think it's definitely worth it! :)

How do you rate Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation?

  5. I just bought this! I've been a long term user of bourjois 10 hour sleep effect so I HAD to try this one as I'd heard great reviews of the original non serum healthy mix. Great review!

    I'm gonna post mine next week sometime after I see if it suits my skin! It's looking good at the minute!

    1. Thankyou so much :) Yeah I know what you mean, it is a light coverage but if I want a bit more of a flawless finish I use 1 pump and blend in all over my face, wait maybe 5 mins for it to sink in a bit then use another pump and it does the trick :) Gillian xx
