Vichy Dermablend to cover a Multitude of Flaws!!

Vichy Dermablend
How I use the Foundation, Concealer stick & Setting Powder.

Who knew these little hero's were hidden away in the skincare isle of Boots?
Not where they should be... pride of place, on display in the make-up section!!

These little gems from Vichy do a fantastic job of disguising unwanted flaws or imperfections. The foundation is light to wear, that even if you dislike the feeling of foundation on your skin, this one is worth a try. There is no mask effect and is very comfortable to wear.
When used with conjunction with the Vichy setting powder, sets to a smudge and water resistant finish.



So here's how I use them...

Vichy Dermablend Setting Powder Review

Vichy Dermablend
Setting Powder Review.
The best setting powder ever!!


What is it?
It is an extremely finely milled translucent powder that sets your foundation in place. Ensuring smudge and water resistant all day.
Originally designed to ensure the Vichy Dermablend Foundation and Corrective stick stay in place and are waterproof.
Can also be used on top of other foundations for the same purpose.

Is fragrance free and adds no colour to your face at all. Keeps you shine free and helps keep the oiliness at bay. Very light hardly notice you have it on and seems to stay put all day.



The pot is huge, 28g to be precise. I can see this lasting absolutely ages! It comes with a powder puff, but I prefer to use my real techniques powder brush or setting brush for around under eyes and bridge of your nose. It can be slightly messy due to the loose powder and the packaging, however the plus is the powder is colourless, so won't stain.

This powder is especially great if like me, you wear glasses. 
Apply to under eye area and bridge of your nose to prevent your glasses from slipping throughout the day and foundation transferring onto your glasses. 



How to use:
Use the powder puff or brush to apply to your face on top of foundation as your last step. 
Leave to set for a minute or 2, then remove any excess lightly with a brush.
Et-Voila, a flawless face come rain or shine!
Long lasting and reliable.


Have to say am seriously impressed with this setting powder and so far is the best I have tried.
Highly recommend this, especially in the warmer months when shine and sweat make keeping foundation on your face a difficult task!
Does a fantastic job of keeping everything in place, I don't get oily or greasy on my t-zone when wearing this powder.
Can be used on the top of any brand foundation or even on it's own to help prevent oil and greasiness.


 If you are interested in using this setting powder with the Vichy foundation and concealer, my reviews can be found below:

Hope these reviews have helped highlight the excellent coverage make-up that can be found in the Vichy skincare isle at Boots as-well as www.escentual.com.

Take time for you. Take care and look after yourself.

Vichy Corrective Concealer Stick Review

Vichy 
Corrective Concealer Stick Review

For targeted concealment of scarring, redness, dark circles, acne and uneven skin tone.
Can be used alone as a concealer or used with the dermablend foundation to create a desired coverage, hiding imperfections. Layered to customize your finished look.


I like to dab this on any imperfections, such as spots, redness after applying the foundation. To ensure my flaws are covered up. Then blend out with my finger tips or a Real techniques buffing or stippling brush.

Again like the foundation feels light and not cakey. Water and smudge, rubbing resistant once set. 
Contains SPF30 

Matches upto the foundation shades:
The 5 shades to choose from...
15 Opal being the lightest
25 Nude
35 Sand 
45 Gold
55 Bronze

I have the shade 15 Opal to match up with my foundation. 

Top Left & Right un-blended swatch. Bottom Left and Right blended in.
Blends nicely and I feel really helps to neutralise my redness and hide any annoying spots.
For extra reassurance set with the Vichy dermablend setting powder to really make sure face is water, smudge oil and sweat resistant.

Overall I highly recommend all three of these Vichy products. A little goes a long way due to the pigmentation. 
Perfect if you require a high coverage and have sensitive skin really does what it says on the tin!



I have also previously reviewed the Vichy Dermablend Foundation and the Vichy Dermablend Setting Powder is coming up!

Hope these reviews have helped highlight the excellent coverage make-up that can be found in the Vichy skincare isle at Boots.

Take time for you. Take care and look after yourself.

Vichy Dermablend
Foundation Review


16 Hour wear, high coverage corrective foundation that is suitable for sensitive skin.
Designed to camouflage flaws, redness, dark circles, scarring and uneven skin tone.

This little gem is hidden away in the skincare section of Boots, so you would be forgiven for overlooking and not realising it was even there.
