Review:Designer Brands Oil Free Foundation

I am almost at the end of my DB Oil Free foundation so thought I'd do a review to let people know what its like.

The blurb on their website says:Designer Brands Oil-free Mineral Foundation containts light diffusing ingredients and micro encapsulated particles to provide a smooth, natural finish that covers imperfections and small blemishes. Long wearing and non-irritating to sensitive skin, its weightless formulation guarantees a flawless finish every time.

The website states it is a mineral foundation although the bottle itself has no mention of it being mineral whatsoever.

What I liked about this foundation is how light it is on your skin,Im used to wearing heavier,full coverage foundations so this was a nice change. And it is well worth the small price tag of $13.99 NZD


I am sure it does cover small blemishes but I found if you want to hide broken capilleries, acne scarring etc you still need to use a concealer underneath. 
It isnt terribly long wearing but does hold up nicely.

It is available in 8 different shades so your sure to find a shade that suits you.

All in all it is an ok foundation if you want a lightweight formula with light to medium coverage plus it is cheap as chips so it doesnt break the bank
