Hello everyone! Today I will review a liquid foundation for you: The Bourjois Paris City Radiance Liquid Foundation.

Cost: $7-$17, depending on where you buy it.

This foundation has SPF 30, an anti-pollution screen, and radiance-boosting pigments.

Brand Promises: The brand promises that this foundation will refresh and even the complexion. It will have a natural finish, brighten the skin, and give 24-hour hydration all day long. This foundation’s anti-pollution screen will also prevent carbon particles from adhering to the skin, which will allow the skin to breathe comfortably.

The Bourjois Paris City Radiance Liquid Foundation comes in 6 shades

1. Rose Ivory
2. Vanilla
3. Light Beige
4. Beige
5. Golden Beige
6. Golden Sun

I have the shade 5 Golden Beige. For a foundation, the shade range is way too small, so this is not an ethnic-friendly foundation.

How The Bourjois Paris City Radiance Liquid Foundation Looks On The Skin

My Skin Type: I had normal skin since I was a child, but recently it has become oily.

My Experiences With The Bourjois Paris City Radiance Liquid Foundation

This foundation adds a sheen to the skin, so if you have oily skin, you may not like this foundation. If you have normal skin, I suggest setting this foundation with powder.

White Cast/Flashback: This foundation has a white cast/flashback; it is too white on my skin, so I don’t recommend this foundation for anyone with a tan or darker skin.

How It Looks: I do not like how this foundation looks on my skin. I feel that my skin looked better, healthier, and younger before I applied this foundation.

Coverage: This foundation has excellent coverage. It is full coverage. You can layer this foundation where you need more coverage in order to build it up and get more coverage.

Scent: This foundation has a strong perfume/fragrance smell. When I smelled this foundation directly from the bottle, it gave me a slight headache. I normally don’t have a negative reaction to fragrance, so I think there is a chemical in this foundation that my body does not like.

Dark Circles: This foundation did lighten my dark circles, but my under-eye area still did not look very good; In this area, it looked like the foundation just cast a shadow over my under eye area, rather than improve and smooth out their appearance.

Lines: This foundation did settle into the lines underneath my eyes, but it did not settle into any other lines on my face, such as my smile lines.

Final Thoughts

I have other foundations that I like more than this one, but it is not a bad foundation. I think this foundation is only for a select group of people; people with light-colored skin, such as Asians or Caucasians, and not for people with any sort of tan or darker skin. The coverage is excellent for this foundation though. I do not come across foundations that I feel can reach true full coverage often so this is impressive. All in all, I do think that this is an excellent foundation for people with dry pale light-colored skin who are not sensitive to fragrance. For everyone else, I do not recommend this foundation.

DL's Health & Beauty

Enter the realm of health, wellness, beauty, makeup, and fashion. The world is full of so many different forms of beauty. Every culture has its own unique beauty, but one thing that all of them have in common is that healthy is always beautiful. But health is not constant or instant in life. Health is part of the life journey that we are all on until our time is up.

We all have a unique health journey. My health journey started in college when I studied human health and disease at The University of The District of Columbia. Later, I studied health and psychology at The University of Maryland University College. After college, I continued following medical breakthroughs around the world, from India to the UK. I soon realized that there was so much health knowledge out there, but so few people had access to it. Thus, I turned to writing. My goal is to share valuable health breakthroughs with the world and connect health to beauty and multiculturalism; that is how this site came to life.

Wherever you are in your health and wellness journey, there is always more to learn and there is beauty to be found everywhere in various forms. So, let's walk this path together and discover fully what the realm of health and beauty has to offer!
