REVIEW : Bourjois Mineral Matte Mousse Foundation

RATING – 7.5 OUT OF 10
I read rave reviews of Bourjois products, so had to try their foundation anyway since I am a foundation lover. This month my budget exceeded since I bought some of the products double for myself and for the giveaway stuffs. So after trying out the Bourjois Mineral Matte Mousse Foundation myself, I had to buy the same product again for the 10,000 hits giveaway.

I had to buy Bourjois Mineral Matte Mousse Foundation online and thus could not check out shades. I have got shade 85 Miel Subtil, but it looks ashy and dark on my skin, clearly not my match. So I use it as a daily wear foundation. Its very light weight, cant feel anything on my skin. When you touch the mousse in the jar it appears creamy and sticky but when you put it on your face and it blends in just like powder.

The packaging is jar or tub like, having a black lid. Bourjois Mineral Matte Mousse Foundation retails for INR Rs 900 for 18 ml pack. Its having a thick mousse like consistency, so one pack will last long certainly. Sadly enough I did not get a kabuki brush free with this foundation, which comes as a freebie for this foundation. The kabuki was another reason for purchasing the foundation.

Bourjois Mineral Matte Mousse Foundation dissappears in the skin within a second after its application giving a matte look instantly. Though my T-Zone started getting oily within 30 minutes, but that’s due to my oily skin and the foundation has nothing to do with it. No cakey or mask like effect, the foundation stays really well for a long time, even though I sweat a lot.

The coverage is medium but do not expect Bourjois Mineral Matte Mousse Foundation to conceal your acne marks as it does not do that. There is no need of applying loose powder over the foundation though I use powder over foundation since I am having oily skin. It gives almost an airbrushed effect, but not good for photography especially for flash photography. It does not clog the pores and did not break my skin out.

Thus if you are looking for a subtle mineralized foundation for daily wear you may try Bourjois Mineral Matte Mousse Foundation. As for me, I have got enough reasons to grumble at especially when I compare the pros and cons with the price tag.
