Many users note that Bourjois tonal creams often have a yellowish undertone (especially with this shade "vanilla"). This makes it difficult to choose a product for owners of light “porcelain” skin, although the color spectrum of Bourjois tonal creams varies from the lightest tone “Vanilla” to the darkest “Bronze”.

If you are going to buy a particular product, it is advisable to get acquainted with the opinions of people who have already tried it. Of course, to make a decision, if you rely only on reviews, recklessly, but some conclusions can be made. Consumer opinions about the tonal tools from Bourjois vary, although most do not hide their admiration for the quality and effect of the company's products. Customer reviews confirm almost all the statements of the manufacturer, which increases the degree of confidence in the product. The most popular, judging by the reviews, is the series "Healthy Mix Foundation", as well as "10 Hour Sleep Effect".

Negative reviews relate more often to the cream "Bio Detox Organic". Note and the complexity of the application, and the final effect in the form of a "mask". The company tried to justify itself before the opponents, explaining that their discontent was caused by improper use of the product. Representatives of the brand believe that "Bio Detox Organic" is not intended for use by owners of dry skin, but in case of a strong desire to try the tool you must apply a moisturizer under it. Only in this case, you get a natural coating without the effect of "mask".

• If you have skin problems, use "123 Perfect CC Cream" - it provides light coverage and moisturizes the epidermis.
