Review | No7 Match Made Service



I've been after a new foundation for a while now and being a pale girl with cool toned skin I struggle to find the perfect shade. The majority of the high street brands are often to yellow or orange toned for my skin and although I found a good match for night time in Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua, I was still on the lookout for a good quality everyday foundation.

The Match Made service at the No7 counter in boots ensures you only purchase the shade and foundation type that is right for you. During my consultation, the consultant discussed my skin type, current skincare routine and the coverage I was looking for to determine the type of foundation. As I have combination skin and I wanted a medium coverage, the consultant advised the Stay Perfect foundation. To determine the shade, the consultant clicked the Match Made device on each side of my face which confirmed mine as 'Calico'.

Overall, the Match Made service is great for anyone who struggles to find their perfect foundation match. The consultation is free, so there's no pressure to make a purchase. I've been using my foundation every day for a few months now and I'm really happy with it. The colour and coverage are exactly what I was looking for and at £14 a bottle, is under half the price of the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua.

My top piece of advice when buying any foundation is to test the colour in natural light. What looks good under artificial lighting might be a muddy mess outside!

Have you tried the No7 Match Made service? What are your thoughts?
