Gorgeous Cosmetics Sheer Brilliance Liquid Foundation

I've slacked off with testing my samples - and eyeshadow palettes - of late (I did warn you about the whole Gemini thing), but I'm going to get back into it, because I quite enjoyed doing it. It's also a good way to use up my drawer full of samples! This one is from a couple of weeks ago, and I apologise but for the life of me I cannot remember which shade I had. It was one of the '2' ones, and I think it may have been 2N-SB, but I can't swear to that. Regardless, I wasn't testing the colour so it probably doesn't matter all that much.

First of all, as with the full coverage foundation I tested a few weeks ago, I was really impressed by the feel of the Sheer Brilliance Liquid Foundation. It's light and silky, and applies like a dream. You also can't feel it once it's on - a huge plus for me when it comes to foundation; I cannot tolerate that masky feel you get from so many of them.

I applied this over moisturised skin, with no primer or colour-correcting concealer underneath.

As you can see, not a huge difference, but it does do a nice job of evening out the skin tone. It's probably slightly more effective than a tinted moisturiser, but certainly not up to the job if - like me - you prefer a full coverage.

If I had nicer skin, I would definitely buy this - it feels beautiful, it wears quite well, and although it's a bit on the pricy side at $65AUD, it's still cheaper than most of the high end department store brands here. However, personally I think I would be more inclined to go for the heavier coverage of the Base Perfect Liquid Foundation, and I'm thinking I may just get some when I've finished my current Chanel foundation.
