The old formula is back!

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I used this for years and then when it changed I had to switch brands as the new foundation was truly awful.. it separated and was orange.  Thank you Boots for listening to your customers. I’ve rated one less star as the new packaging looks cheap and I don’t like the spatula but the foundation itself is back to its former great self.

It really is back!!!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

So pleased!!!! that No7 have listened to customers on this - this is the original formula - I like a reviewer on boots could cry with happiness. At over 40 taking years to find what works (and get told I look younger when wearing this).  I had moved to Estée Lauder Double Wear which is so expensive and is not as good a match (I got desert beige) as the calico is. I was hesitant thinking is it really but it is back to the coverage it was. The bottle is still annoying in the new version but I will forgive that (although if you are reading reviews and clearly someone was to go back to the old/original formula then consider a bottle change too please).

Best foundation

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have always used Estee Lauder since the day i started using make up, just because i never had a problem. Two weeks ago i was in boots and decided id give this one a go. I have one thing to say AMAZING. Its better than the Estee Lauder, fully coverage long lasting. I was at a greek wedding and honestly it didnt crack or produce more oil on my face. It just does exactly what it says on the box -its matte and i absolutely love it

Oily Skin

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have very bad oily skin and this is one of the best foundations I have found and used. I would highly recommend. It looks flawless with the No7 primers amongst other branded makeup and it makes my makeup look like I use expensive products. Always buy this now and never go anywhere else.
