All beauty fans will know that the foundation market is well and truly saturated. There are so many different brands and types of foundation to choose from - with some of the most highly-coveted including NARS Sheer Glow Foundation, which currently costs £30 instead of £35 at Boots, Charlotte Tilbury's £39 Airbrush Flawless Foundation, and the more budget-friendly £3 Boots Natural Collection Hydrating and Radiance Foundation.
But now a new £9.99 foundation has gone viral for it's abilities to blur imperfections, pores and blemishes, and it's the 'first of its kind'. NYX's Blur With Me Skin Tint Foundation comes in 24 different shades, and has medium buildable coverage with a matte blurred finish that feels lightweight on the skin and provides 12-hour hydration.
The budget £9.99 foundation has been formulated with Glycerin, Matcha and Niacinamide for visibly even, radiant and healthy-looking skin. It's had several five-star reviews online, and has an average rating of 4.1 out of 5.
The £9.99 NYX Blur With Me Skin Tint Foundation, which is sold at both Boots and Superdrug, has also been praised on Tik Tok. Tik Tok users have shared their staggering results on the social media platform.
Writing on the NYX website, one five-star reviewer wrote: "Pleasantly surprised with this foundation! Super lightweight, gives a natural finish with buildable coverage. The color match was spot on for me." A second raved: "I love this product! NYX has always been affordable and has a wide shade range is a BIG +++! During the winter days; this foundation bought color back into my face and gave off a skin like finish! Definitely something worth trying for a quick makeup look!"
A third reviewer wrote: "While the shade wasn’t the perfect shade for me(I struggle with shade selection) This stuff is amazing and truly does blur your complexion! I was blown away with the coverage!" Somebody else said: "Loved this foundation. I don’t normally wear foundation but since I received one, it didn’t hurt to try. Literally felt like butter on my skin. You couldn’t even tell you had foundation on. Really does blur blemishes."
Somebody else reviewed the foundation, writing: " Go get this now! I have mild acne and not the smoothest skin. Wow! This makes my skin look so nice! Gives me a healthy glow. A little goes a loooong way. I love it! It blurs all the imperfections." "The coverage is amazing, the product applies very smoothly on the face. The color is also good it is long wear and also very affordable," said somebody else.
Another happy shopper said: "This formula blends well into the skin and isn’t clumpy or heavy. It lasted a 12 hour day without creasing or need to add any powder on it. I would recommend using this to build up foundation coverage." Some shoppers did note that they had struggled to find the correct shade online.
However, Boots has a foundation-match service on its website which will help those who are unsure on what to pick to make the right choice. You can also get colour-matched in Boots and Superdrug stores as they both stock the £9.99 NYX foundation.
