Fabulous & Flawless Foundation Reviews

I have had this foundation sitting in my cupboard for ages and having run out of my everyday favourite foundation I decided to give this one a go. I have the shade linen which is one of the lightest shades available. The formula is oil free which is great for my oily/ oily combination skin. I love that it is in a frosted glass bottle with a handy pump (mine however broke the second time I used it).

I find that I get a light to medium buildable coverage. I find that it blends easily into my skin and doesn't seem to oxidise on my skin unlike many other foundations do. I find lasting power on skin is very good, like with any other foundations I always use a primer and set with a powder. I find this foundation doesn't make my skin oily however it doesn't appear overly matt either.

The formula contains several vitamins including vitamin A and is also paraben free. The only real downside in my opinion is the price at almost $30 its a little on the pricey side however when I am able to get it on special I will stock up.

I picked this product up a few beautoriums ago, I love chi chi products and wanted to try their foundation for a while. On first impressions I loved how well how this foundation matched my skin tone. Although it has a lot less coverage then I would usually like from my foundations, showing all my redness, freckles and pimples through the foundation.... It served to even out skin tone and that's about it.

It made my usually dry skin go really oily, and shiny. I have never before needed to blot foundation with any other product. This one made my face look sweaty all the time, which I didn't appreciate. I prefer a more Matte finish from my foundations.

It lasted throughout the day fine, but between the blotting and the coverage I would not repurchase.

Great range of shades to suit many skin tones,I find that most budget brands tend to be too pink.
One of my biggest problems with foundations,regardless of price bracket,is their tendency to turn orange!Many times I have tried various brands,which are perfectly matched to my skin when first applied,but within a few minutes my skin turns a hideous shade of orange.This foundation does not!Yay!
The finish is lovely and natural,not matte or too shiny.It lasts fairly long in mild weather,but not long in heat or humidity.
My only criticism is that it has no SPF,which should be mandatory in this country,that has cost a point.

Worked well with my skin! It's a great product for a low price. I'd reccommend to anyone looking for medium coverage. I got this from target and even the lady at the counter told me that she has had a good experience with this. Throughout the day it did face a tiny bit but I just touched it up with powder and then it looked fine. Overall a great product

This product has a great shade range, from the very fair like myself to darker complexions and it's great for people who are prone to oily skin as it is oil free, I hate when I feel like my foundation melts off especially in the heat of summer.
I love that I can build the coverage from a light sheer foundation to a medium/full coverage, It lasts all day or night without wearing off.
This is probably the best foundation I have tried, one the packaging it said that it rich in antioxidants, I think my skin has benefited from this foundation. I usually find that I can break out after wearing foundation every day but I've barely had anything since trying this one.

I also love that this is manufactured in Italy and not China, I love that I'm supporting an Australian brand that does not test on animals.

This foundation looks very lovely and natural on, and as per the description has a buildable coverage, and it does well blurring out blemishes. I have noticed that one layer tends to disappear after a few hours on my oily skin, so I recommend using a setting spray or translucent powder over the top. It is not overly drying - it feels very nice on - but does tend to cling to the occasional dry patch a little.

It comes in a nice frosted glass bottle with a pump, which I like because it allows me to control how much I need - a few pumps is enough to cover my face. Beware, I have found that the plastic cap feels a bit loose, so it's not really suitable to be carried in a makeup bag.

Ever since Chi Chi released the new "half shades" in this range, I picked up the 0.5 Porcelain (Ivory is a close match for MAC NC15). This foundation feels like a hydration serum with pigment. It doesn't feel heavy on the skin and can build up some pretty good coverage. As it is meant to be hydrating, I don't find that it's overly dewy, so only a little setting powder needs to be used in oily areas, however, if you let it dry a little it gives plump and sets almost matte on its own. The finish is very natural.

It is very thin and slightly on the runny side, so it needs to be worked in quickly, but blends and covers evenly with the correct tools.

It does have a slight powdery fragrance.

This foundation is absolutely amazing. You really cannot go wrong! There's such a great variety of shades, and it's suitable for most skin types. The coverage is gorgeous and it applies flawlessly too. Would 100% recommend.

I really like this foundation although it took me a few tries to get a nice finish. I definitely need a primer with this one, not so much for added staying power, but to give a smooth effect. If I don't use a primer my pores are quite obvious. For an even, medium coverage, I dab the foundation on to my face with my finger and use a stippling brush to work it into my skin, then set it with a light dusting of translucent powder. I find it has a matte finish which sets really nicely. It often looks better 1-2 hours after application than it did when I first put it on. The foundation wears well throughout the day.
