The foundation is a anti pollution screen that prevents the adherence of carbon particles which allows the skin to breathe. So Bourjois City Radiance is all about maintaining a bright and glowing complexion, even in a polluted environment.

Currently the chosen ones in the en suite cabinet are: Armani Maestro Glow, Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua, Chanel Les Beiges, Chanel Perfection Lumiere Velvet (I’m working on a comparison post), Max Factor Miracle Match and Laura Mercier’s Silk Creme Foundation, which I think I prefer to the new Candleglow, but the jury’s still out.I have super dry skin but I moisture my face a lot before I put any kinds of foundation or makeup in general. We have 4 shades – o2 Vanilla, 03 Light Beige, 04 Beige and 05 Golden Beige while internationally, there are 6 – none suitable for very deep skintones, unfortunately! To be honest, I don’t notice any particular boost in the appearance of skin radiance (it doesn’t look flat, but it isn’t particularly radiant either). It has a BB/CC Cream sort of consistency and, as with other foundations of this sort, I have found that a little goes quite a long way. The City Radiance is definitely brightening and I’d say that the coverage is very good, though I didn’t find it the most pleasant foundation to apply.

My skin is a little dry at the moment but I found this really hydrating and smoothing and it didn’t emphasise any dry patches, and actually concealed them rather well. Bourjois, a French brand with long experience in the field of make-up, shows us with its extensive catalogue of products that quality doesn't have to be expensive. It also bonds really well to the skin which could see because I forgot to remove the swatches and they actually survived a shower really well! I say trends, they're really just things that many people have been wearing for ages yet I still find hilariously novel: cropped wide-leg trousers.

Urban city living is damaging for the skin so the anti-pollution screen protects against damaging air pollution, preventing the adherence of carbon particles to your skin. This Bourjois foundation has a formula that boasts of a smoothing as well as evening out effect, that is also smudge proof for all day wear. Bourjois City Radiance Skin Protecting Foundation is an anti-pollution screen formula that prevents the adherence of carbon particles and lets skin breathe. When not testing the newest skincare creams and lotions, or playing with makeup, find her testing her culinary skills in the kitchen at Chez PB.

Its anti-dullness, formula with radiance-boosting pigments evens out complexion for a natural, fresh-looking, radiant complexion.As part of my ongoing attempt to smarten myself up and streamline my wardrobe I have been trying out new fashion trends. I recently watched Zoella’s Boots Haul and saw that she had bought Bourjois’ City Radiance Foundation. In all honestly, protection against environmental factors is something I look for in my skincare, if anything, so I can’t say I’m really going to dwell on that at all. An anti-pollution screen within the formula helps to block carbon particles and environmental stressors, while a 40% Water recipe delivers full-day hydration. I’ve stared at my face for so many hours, now, that I’m struggling to uncross my eyes, so I would love to know what you think.

Healthy Mix says “instant blending gel, flawless complexion, undetectable coverage” on the back of the pump-action bottle and “16h radiance-boosting” on the front – the two foundations are after pretty much the same thing. The item(s) must be in the same condition that you received it, unopened and unused with seals or original packaging if appropriate.Bourjois said this is a glowy foundation compared to the matte Air Mat but I find this to be on the matte side too.
