Perfect foundation

This foundation is just wonderful! A perfect colour match, it blends seamlessly. Even though my skin is quite oily, there are no shiny after effects and what's more amazing is that no powder is necessary. This product ticks all the boxes for me...well done Joan Collins and M&S for creating the perfect foundation.

I purchased on line and used the colour matches to get the shade I wanted. I was pleased that the on-line swatches were good enough for me to get the right colour. The makeup is a good quality and a little goes a long way which makes it good valkue for money. Very Happy

I wish they sold it or had samples in the smaller stores. I've ordered two colours online but neither are just right. I'm not risking it again and I can't get to a major town for a long time. It's a lovely product. Worth a try if you see it in store.

Doesn't last more than 4h

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

No, I don't recommend this

I love how it looks and feels when I apply it. It has low coverage and doesn't look like make up, which I love. It does not accentuate pores and wrinkles at any time throughout the day. But it only lasts for about 3-4h. I first start looking greasy and the foundation wears off in my t-zone. By the end of the day the make up wipe is nearly clean when I remove what's left on my face. If this was made to last on my skin, I would love it and £25 would be justified. For me, this was a waste of money.

good coverage

This base foundation gives good coverage i have been using for over three years and it does not come off so easy through out the day like other foundations and one gets youthful light reflection. One tip i find good is Joan Collins said after applying to blot gently with a tissue.

This is a lovely foundation. Goes on very smoothly, medium coverage, lasts all day (I have normal to dry skin). I feel slightly too much product comes out with one pump, it's hard to get just a small amount, but the advantages of this lovely foundation outweigh this small gripe. Would repurchase. I think it would be good for sensitive skin also. It feels quite moisturizing.

I am now onto my second bottle. I have tried and used a lot of good named and expensive foundations, but find this one from Joan Collins covers redness on my chin and gives my face a nice glow.

If you select the right choice, then the colour is accurate for your skin tone. Very nice to apply and the coverage is good.

GOOD FOUNDATION

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

Thought this was a bit expensive when I saw it but with 20% off decided to try it. It gives really good coverage. My only complaint is that it was difficult on line to select the right colour for me.

Quality foundation

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

I tested this foundation in the store after seeing how washed out I looked in one of the store mirrors. The feel of the product on my skin was lovely. It gave me a flawless complexion and could be reapplied if you prefer a heavier coverage. I would say the coverage is light to medium. It was a dream to apply. I was so pleasantly surprised with the quality I returned to the store and purchased this when a 20% promotion was running. I always spend a lot of money on my foundations and am a bare minerals and Yves Saint Laurent addict. I can honestly say Joan's foundation is up there with the best. In fact I think I prefer joan's foundation to my touché eclat Yves Saint Laurent foundation and it's a fraction of the price. I have been so happy I have also purchased a blusher which has superb colour pigmentation with the added extra of a sleek expensive looking compact. Joan, thank you so much for creating this line, I love it. My Yves Saint Laurent sales consultant will be seeing much less of me now.

RUBBISH PUMP

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

No, I don't recommend this

Although I liked the make-up the pump stopped working after the first couple of times and would never buy this again - ended up wasting most of it trying to get it out of the bottle. A lot of money for a useless pump
