Living Nature foundation By Nicky Boyd
Packaging: Living Nature foundation comes in a glass bottle with a black plastic pump.
Application: Lightweight liquid foundation that blends in and dries quickly giving a medium, natural-looking coverage.
Ingredients: All of Living Natures products are certified natural by BDIH Germany (the international industry benchmark control body for certification of natural skincare). Ingredients include manuka honey (moisturising, nourishing, healing, rejuvenating and protecting with antimicrobial and biologically active qualities), macadamia ternifolia seed oil (rich and soft), persea gratissima oil (from the avocado, great for dry skin) and organic simmondsia chinensis oil (from the jojoba shrub and very moisturising).
Results: As I was applying the foundation it felt a little grainy, but I usually use a mineral powder foundation so am not used to liquid foundations. After application my skin felt very soft and fresh. I finished it off with a sweeping of mineral powder and asked my friend for her honest opinion. She said that she hadn’t initially noticed that I was wearing foundation but on a closer inspection my skin looked very natural. The shade of ‘pure taupe’ (a light shade with light pink base tones) was perfect for my fair skin (there are another five different shades to choose from). I have been using the Living Nature eye-makeup remover for years – fabulous for sensitive eyes.
