Are you a vitamin-popping working woman who’s obsessed with sussing out skincare with beautifying benefits? Well, we’ve got good news for you: This fabulous new foundation boasting a vitamin-infused formula will be right up your alley.
Presenting – drumroll, please – Bourjois Paris’s intriguing new star player, the latest and greatest incarnation of the brand’s bestselling Healthy Mix Anti-Fatigue Foundation – a bona fide cult favourite. Put simply, it’s a fully functional foundation with a ton of beautifying benefits – think of it as makeup that conceals and corrects at the same time.
The formula has been carefully concocted to lend your complexion the most lovely luminosity, thanks to a cocktail of vitamins C, E and B5, all of which promise to work in tandem to erase signs of fatigue and supercharge your skin with antioxidants. The result? Radiance is restored and you’ll look fresher and more well-rested – both instantly and over time.
As for the makeup side of things, you can expect medium coverage that’s delightfully lightweight and long-lasting to boot – up to 16 hours of incredibly comfortable wear, thanks to the beautifully blendable consistency. Offered in six Asian-friendly shades, the semi-matte finish is also perfect for Singapore – your skin will look glowy, not greasy.
Quick note on application: Fingers are fine, but feel free to buff it in with a brush. We recommend pumping the product onto the back of your non-dominant hand, then taking the brush and using stippling motions to blend outwards for a softly diffused, second-skin effect. This gentle graduation will also blur out any discernible demarcation between your face and neck, which is always a good thing.
Daunted by dark eye circles? Finish off your look by pairing your foundation with a trusty sidekick, Bourjois Paris’s multitasking Healthy Mix Anti-Fatigue Concealer, which does double duty in one nifty tube. Thanks to light-reflective pigments and a mother of pearl extract, this luxuriously light treat lends an instant hit of illumination to diminish dullness and discolouration; as well as irons out imperfections such as puffiness and dark circles.
Even better, this discreet touch-up tool – you can stash it in your purse for emergency spot-correction – will be indispensable on casual Sunday brunches, when you want to look presentable without caking your face with warpaint.
Oh, and while we’re at it, here’s the ultimate secret to concealing circles and puffiness the right way:
Always apply judiciously using the nifty flocked applicator tip, and only on the shadowy inner area where you need it the most. That means stippling on your concealer in tiny dots that decrease in size as you move out from the inner eye corner, blending well with a damp sponge so that the product disappears into your skin at the outer edge of your eye. Now you know!

Get enough beauty sleep. Aim for eight hours a night!

Choose a quality foundation with beautifying benefits, such as Bourjois Healthy Mix Anti-Fatigue Foundation. A little goes a long way.

Quench your thirsty skin by drinking up. Hydration is key!

Don’t sweat the small stuff. Set aside time to relax – try yoga or deep breathing exercises for a start.

Congrats on successfully laying the “foundation” of your makeup routine!
