Joan CollinsTimeless Beauty First Base Foundation

The gold paint around the top and on the lotion pump came off the first time I touched it. Photo enclosed is after three uses; it literally comes away completely as I touch it.The foundation itself is medium to poor quality. It has a thick, quite matte coverage, a little streaky, but lasts several hours. I won’t use it again, I have much better options. I bought it as it was recommended online, and was further persuaded by reading a number of good reviews. I was a little put off by the name, but I am happy to find a good foundation, I don’t mind who makes it if it works. So, it is either a poorly made product, or the seller had inadvertently bought a fake, or the seller is aware of what they are selling - no way of knowing which without buying direct from the maker and I have already moved on.

This is my favourite foundation and I've tried many! Though quite difficult to find. Used to buy it from QVC but they finished stocking it so was pleased to find it on amazon. Its quite a thin foundation so is a light to medium coverage. Have quite sensitive skin and have never had any problems with it. Don't need and brushes with it. Just one pump spread over face with fingers. Doesn't set into fine lines or dry patches just gives a natural satin finish. I have light,medium skin tone and use the cool fair in winter and cool medium in the summer when I have a tan.

I was given the compact powder from this range for free, and I thought it would be more effective if used in conjunction with the Foundation so I bought this one.I chose the 'warm dark' colour.I have olive skin and thought it might be the best match.It is actually quite yellowy. So I don't like the colour. Makes me look slightly jaundiced - which is not the look you want, is it?That aside, it is quite a lightweight foundation which doesn't lay heavy on the skin, but it looks powdery when on.And coverage-wise I found it to be a bit patchy.So, overall it is disappointing.

I love the ingredient list for this product and I believe it is cruelty free.....if only it was light enough. There are so few shades and even the lightest one is 4 times darker than my skin. I am pale, but not that pale. Had to return it, reluctantly, unopened, as I knew it would be gorgeous, if only the colour was not so dark.

Beautifull flawless finish. Moisturising, blends like silk gives a natural healthy glow. Hope this dosent ever discontinue. One of the best and i have tried many...

Although the foundation is great In itself, the gold from pump flakes off and it ends up on your face as it mixes with the foundation. It's impossible to get off without messing up the foundation! This is the second bottle I've had with this issue so unfortunately it seems that it's just cheap packaging used. Very unfortunate because the foundation Itself is great

Love the quality & packaging; will buy the lighter colour next time as I’m fair but the cool fair is slightly darker than I normally use

I have this on repeat order as I struggle to find makeup that I like
