No7 HydraLuminous Makeup Range

4/8/2020

No7's HydraLuminous Makeup Range,
Check out my Review of the Collection!

I have used No 7 Foundations for Years! I Loved the Instant Radiance Foundation, it was easily my most repurchased product so when it got discontinued immediate panic set in! Not to fear though as it got replaced by the HydraLuminous Range and it’s thankfully just as good!

HydraLuminous Foundation

This is a Foundation that I honestly cannot recommend enough! No7 has a wide range of Foundations and offer an in-store matchmaking service which is great for people who like help with finding the correct shade and line to suit their skin type or age. I was matched to the Instant Radiance Line years ago, I now use the HydraLuminous Line and haven’t looked back since! It’s perfect for everyday wear, it leaves my skin radiant and glowing without accentuating the appearance of dry or dehydrated skin. I can apply this with anything and still love the finish it gives. It doesn’t matter whether I apply it with my fingers, a brush or a sponge, I still love it. I always mention that I test a product for no less than two weeks before reviewing it but I’ve used this brands foundation for years and I honestly don’t have one bad word to say about them. I find the HydraLuminous Foundation to be very long wearing and I use it as a Light to Medium Coverage but it is definitely buildable. The Luminosity doesn’t fade throughout the day and the colour stays the same! The reason I mention this is because I sometimes think it can be hard for fairer girls to find a fair foundation shade that doesn’t start to oxidise and make you appear more orange as the day goes on. I use the shade Calico for reference and I find it perfect! It’s also packed with great ingredients such as an Active blend of Antioxidants, Vitamins A, C and E and Grapeseed Oil. The formula is very creamy, easy to apply and the scent isn’t overpowering which is a huge plus for me. Best of all it doesn’t come with a huge price tag! It cost’s €20 but Boot’s sometimes offer No7 Vouchers which often give you €4 off No7 Makeup! So if you’re lucky enough to have one it brings the foundation down to €16

HydraLuminous Dark Circle Concealer

When going to repurchase my HydraLuminous Foundation about 7 months ago I was enticed by a 3 for 2 offer on No7 Makeup. I picked up this concealer after the girl working on the counter recommended it to me. I don’t know why it didn’t enter my head to try it sooner considering how much I love their Foundation but this was my first time trying any of their concealers. I’ve since repurchased another! It brightens up my under eyes and again much like the Foundation it doesn’t accentuate the appearance of my dry skin. I find it very easy to blend and love the sponge tip applicator it comes with. It gives great coverage, covers my dark circles well and blurs the appearance of any fine lines. It wears well throughout the day and I hardly ever find the need to touch up. It also works well to cover any blemishes or imperfections but I do recommend not applying the sponge directly on to any spots. Instead just pick up a little product onto your finger and then apply over your skin where needed.

My Recommendation?

I highly recommend both of these products. I would have easily gone through 10+ bottles of the Instant Radiance Foundation and I’m now on my 4th bottle of HydraLuminous as well as my 2nd Dark Circle Concealer. I’m also 100% sure that once my current supply runs out that I will repurchase another. The girls at my local No7 Counters have always been lovely and very helpful. As I mentioned they can match you to your correct shade and advice you on the best line for you. Again I’ve always been in the Instant Radiance and HydraLuminous range but they also have lots of other options such as:
Protect and Perfect - Skincare Infused and enriched with Age Defying Skincare Technology.
Lift and Luminate - Triple action serum, tackles the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, age spots and discolouration
Stay Perfect - Up to 24hr wear, weather proof and transfer proof.
Beautifully Matte - Oil Free, controls shine and minimises the appearance of pores

How much does it retail for?

The HydraLuminous Foundation retails for €20 and the HydraLuminous Dark Circle Concealer retails for €18. No7 Makeup can be found at Boots both online and in-store!

Rosalyn Matthews

5/8/2020 08:09:10 pm

I was always intrigued about this brand as when I’ve shopped at boots before they’ve given me these 4e off makeup vouchers at the check out. I never thought anything of them and usually chuck them out because I hadn’t heard much about the brand. This has changed my mind. I’ve been looking at their website since reading this and there perfect and protect line sounds incredible. I’ve ordered the advanced serum, eye cream and foundation. Looking forward to trying them now 🥰

Good Morning Ladies! I have got in touch with the team at No 7 to ask about how their counters are operating at the minute as requested by so many of you! They have told me that the Match Made Service is still suspended at the moment. However, they have launched a Virtual Consultation service, which allows customers to virtually connect directly with store advisors. They are offering 15-20 minutes personalised cosmetics and skincare services. Information on how to book can be found at:
