Avon ideal shade foundation review

I do quite like this foundation, I don't know if it tops my other favourites though. I have the shade light beige which is my colour when I fake tan or get a real tan (not very likely though.) I got it from an Avon catalogue for £8 .

The packaging is nice and expensive looking and the bottle is glass. The only problem is that the lid isn't very secure but I'm wondering whether it is just mine or whether it is how its made.


It sits nicely on the skin, it leaves a satin finish. It has a light to medium coverage, so some imperfections do show through. It sits very nice on the skin and is natural looking.


The down side of this foundation is that it does smell odd. I can't put my finger on the smell but I really don't like it. But when its on your skin you can't smell it so when I'm putting it on I just don't breath in and then its fine. Also because of the smell your skin may have a reaction if you have sensitive skin.

It doesn't beat my favourite foundations but it is nearly there. I would recommend it if you aren't too bothered about strong smells then maybe you would like it but I wouldn't say it was amazing it is just mediocre.
