Review: Claudia Louch High Definition Liquid Foundation and Mineral Loose Powder

Having extremely spot prone skin, I am very fussy about what base makeup products I put on my face; I need to be pretty certain that they aren't going to break me out. The Claudia Louch range of makeup is non-comedogenic, which means they don't block pores, so I was excited to be able to try the High Definition Liquid Foundation and Mineral Loose Powder.

High Definition Liquid Foundation in N45 Cool Neutral 20ml - £52.50

This is definitely the most expensive foundation to ever grace my face! It is 94% natural and has been  created with HD cameras in mind, so is described as "perfect for anyone in the limelight who wants flawless HD coverage with a natural finish". I don't think the packaging is quite as luxurious as other Claudia Louch products I've tried, however being round and compact does make it travel friendly, plus it has a pump! N45 Cool Neutral just about works on my pale skin with careful blending, though I would go for a lighter shade if I used it again. I tend to use around 3 small pumps for my whole face; the High Definition Liquid Foundation has quite a runny consistency so a small amount blends out over quite a big area. I would say that the coverage is light to medium; I'm used to quite high coverage so I apply two thin layers and then top up with concealer (NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer) as necessary. The foundation blends out with ease, leaving quite a dewy finish, so I imagine this would be great for those with dry skin. Having an oily t-zone, I prefer to pop a light dusting of powder over the top to mattify it down a notch, which also helps it last through my working day.

Mineral Loose Powder in MN5 Cool Neutral 15g - £47.50

Speaking of powder, I've been using the talc free Mineral Loose Powder from the Claudia Louch to finish off my base. I generally stay away from loose powders because I have a tendency to spill them everywhere, though I'm not faring too badly with this one so far! I pop a little in the lid and simply dip in my Real Techniques Powder Brush, tapping off the excess. The powder is actually very fine; it looks very natural and feels light on the skin. The Mineral Loose Powder sets my foundation in place and absorbs any oil or shine. I love the fact it's also 94% natural like the foundation. 

I'm pleased to report that both the High Deinition Liquid Foundation and Mineral Loose Powder live up to their non-comedogenic claims and leave me with a radiant, natural finish. The coverage of the foundation is a touch too light for me and I don't think I could afford to re-purchase either, but it's been really nice to try something different to my usual base products! Find them both online here.

Have you tried any makeup by Claudia Louch?
