If you prefer something a little more matte, the No7 Flawless Finishing Loose Powder promises a shine-free makeup finish and all-day wear. However, everyone’s skin is different, and your skin may be sensitive to particular ingredients in the formula. Also, as you use soap and water to clean your skin, the rich ingredients in the cream that hydrate and protect the skin (and serve the function of anti-ageing) may have been too much for your skin!

This Beautifully Matte foundation held nicely throughout the day and we think it’s definitely better suited for oily skin types. We particularly liked that our T-zone wasn’t oily at the end of the day, which takes some doing. As promised, this foundation truly did give a matte look, although if you apply too much we found that this full-coverage foundation left our faces looking a bit cakey.The shade matched our skin tone very well and it gave a natural finish. We also loved that it left our skin looking glowing, smooth and most of all healthy. Including 1.5% in the name of this product is slightly misleading, in our opinion. But the good news is that even 0.3% pure retinol is enough to produce noticeable results. What kind of results can you expect?

To ensure a cake free application of the No7 Lift & Luminate Powder, apply using a small fluffy brush. What a waste of money this is, does not do what its supposed to, in fact it gave me a severe allergic reaction.We were unimpressed with this No7 foundation almost immediately. When applied with a foundation brush we could see streaks on top of the skin that clung to dry patches Like we mentioned above, vitamin C is an antioxidant that protects against free radicals, helps to fade dark spots, evens out skin tone, increases radiance, and promotes firmer skin. We’re very pleasantly surprised by how well this foundation performed. So much so, it surpassed our previous favourite No7 foundation, the No7 Stay Perfect Superlight Foundation. The Restore and Renew Serum foundation gave us light-to-medium coverage and it masked our blemishes with ease. Bottom Line: No 7 Restore and Renew Night Cream is meant to be an anti-aging night cream, but make sure you are using it safely.

I’ve been using the No. 7 Lift and Illuminate line for about two weeks now. It is pricy, but I have used more expensive brands in the past. .. I’ve paid as much for one tube of moisturizer as I have for a whole No.7 kit! Out of all the foundations in this No7 foundation group test, the Essentially Natural foundation gave the lightest coverage Bottom Line: If you’re looking for a product to temporarily disguise crow’s feet, this No 7 eye cream is a good option.Bottom Line: No 7 Lift and Luminate Powder is a finishing powder that uses talc and other natural minerals to absorb excess oil, reduce shine, and create the appearance of visibly smoother skin.
