My absolute most beloved base is Bourjois 10 Hour Sleep Effect Foundation ($31 from Priceline and Target). It has the most beautiful gleam and, yes, it really does make skin look like it has had its beauty sleep. Up there too is Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation ($80 from selected David Jones). If you have the money to spare, it’s completely worth the investment. It also lives up to its name, making skin look like silk.

I always wanted to try Sleep Effect but I find Bourjois doesnt cater for all skin tones…:’(
I recently bought Napoleon Light Diffusing Makeup. Do you think it gives the same effect? Im shade no.1…whitey!
So i guess what im trying to ask is: do you have any experience with Napoleon foundations, kat? Good/bad?
thankyou! xx

Hi Rachelle - To be honest I haven’t tried a Napoleon foundation in years, but his primer is a good buy. Let us know how you go with it. K x
