Foundation review no 7 matching service

Picking out a foundation in the perfect shade is hard i mean you have to know what undertone u are how shop lighting affects ur colour does the foundation oxidize or sometimes the ppl at the counter match u totally wrong!

So when i heard about the custom fit machine at the boots no 7 counter that matches a color to your skin to your closest color i was excited so i went to a nearby boots to be matched..

The lady at the counter was nuce but i felt she didnt really ask me any questions about what type of skin i had eg dry oily etc! She just got the machine and left it on my cheek for a bit and matched me to 2 colors  She said one side is beige and the other side was cool beige so she tried it a second time and again it came with two colours so i asked her what colour do u think is better suited to me she said beige so i went along with that thinking your the expert she also sold me the stay perfect foundation a long lasting foundation.

I paid £14 for the foundation.

As i walked out i got a leaflet that was there its basically gives u info about the different foundations and what the lady at the counter should ask you i read it on the bus and was disappointed in that the lady never asked me the type of skin i had and so she sold me the wrong foundation to me as per reference to the leaflet i was feeling like i wasted £14 down the drain and i hadn't even tried the product!!! To make myself feel better i kept telling myself she works at the counter she does know more then me to wait and give the foundation a go before thinking negatively!

I went home and cleaned and moisturized my face and used the foundation.

It went on okay and blended in well too but the colour was all wrong!!!!!!

It looked horrible and ashy made my dry skin worse my foundation didn't look smooth at all it just looked horrible !! I was so dissapointed that i went with the lady i should have just done what i usually do and that is research blogs and reviews in you tube and matched myself to the colour and foundation i think i would have done a better job!!!!!


So the conclusion to this story is do te research get the leaflet read it and then go to the lady so u have some idea on what u want an then after the lady tells u decide weather or not you should buy it because it will save u £14!!!!

Am feeling really gutted lol
