Dr Perricone: No Foundation Foundation Review
You must have seen google advertise this product everywhere! I did, so I jumped at the chance to test it.
This is an oil free foundation that isn't supposed to look like foundation with an SPF of 30.
It comes with a pump applicator.
Available in one shade to suit all.
The consistency is quite creamy and light...
It dries to a semi matte finish..
What I like: It's great that it's light and creamy and has an SPF of 30, I found it easy to blend and apply and noticed an even skin tone after application.
What I dislike: The scent, it actually smells like 'copydex' glue, it's very fishy and I just can't stand it. I thought I had a dodgy bottle, but did some research, and no.. that's the scent. The fishy scent does disappear after about 10 minutes, either that or I get used to the smell. This product has no coverage, it should not be marketed as a foundation, it's more like a tinted moisturiser with no coverage, it just adds a sheer tint of colour and evens out your skin tone. The shade is perfect for me, but I can see it being too dark or too light for some people, so I don't see how this shade would suit all. I also think it's way too expensive for 30ml.
Will I use it? Yes, I hate wasting things so, I will try to use it in the summer when I want to wear no make up and protect my face, whilst evening out my skin tone despite the smell. I will not repurchase!
Would I recommend it? No, unless you have perfect skin and love the scent of fish.
Price: £41 - 30ml/1 fl oz

are they having a laugh?
@VexintheCity 'one shade suits all' never delivers.
no thank you perricone!
As soon as I applied it, my husband was like "what's that smell"? not good!!!
@Sarah it indeed smells like fish, eww, copydex to be exact!
wow, that is extremely expensive! Don't you just hate when something seems like a really good idea, then you try it out and it doesn't work as good as you'd like?
I'm looking for a new foundation but I don't think I will try this one! I wouldn't stand the smell.

Plus, the fishy smell is putting me off as well, I had a really nice lipgloss that stank of fish so I chucked that away.
The packaging doesn't look too appealing either, it looks like packaging you get in Holland and Barratt for vitamins.
