We’re very pleasantly surprised by how well this foundation performed. So much so, it surpassed our previous favourite No7 foundation, the No7 Stay Perfect Superlight Foundation. The Restore and Renew Serum foundation gave us light-to-medium coverage and it masked our blemishes with ease. Developed with both extensive scientific and consumer research spanning over 3 years, our foundation shades have been formulated using Skin Expert™ technology, analysed against 1.9m global skin tones. The result; a cleaner and brighter true-skin match. Coming soon in all 24 shades, this product has been specifically formulated to blend seamlessly into a range of skin tones. However, because the shade choices across these ranges vary so wildly, only a selection of the range features a suitable skin tone match (which for us is Warm Beige, for the record). Plus, the majority of foundation options only have around 15-20 shades, which is a really small selection by comparison to many other brands.
Even though it gave light-to-medium coverage, it covered blemishes well and the shade matched almost exactly. This would be the perfect everyday foundation, it worked well with both primers and gave a lovely natural finish – our skin looked like, well, skin. We did favour the beauty blender application because it gave a smoother-looking complexion, but the difference was marginal. We were unimpressed with this No7 foundation almost immediately. When applied with a foundation brush we could see streaks on top of the skin that clung to dry patches

Out of all of the versions in this group No7 foundation review, the No7 Stay Perfect Superlight was our favourite Expertly formulated to mattify skin and conceal imperfections and blemishes, this foundation is powered by a skin-mattifying blend of fine oil-absorbing powders. The formula glides effortlessly onto the skin, blurring the appearance of pores, with a velvety soft finish and no powdery flatness for a beautifully matte complexion that lasts for up to 16 hours. We’re unsure why Boots doesn’t offer the same shade range across each type of foundation, or why it can be so difficult to tell which shade you are in each type. The No7 Stay Perfect foundation is highly buildable and works well with a silicone primer. It was easy to work into the skin and it gave a natural finish, which we liked Each No7 foundation was tested on our face with a silicone primer and a water-based primer. We also tested these No7 foundations with a foundation brush and a beauty blender in an attempt to mimic the various combinations we expect you will use and experience.
The shade matched our skin tone very well and it gave a natural finish. We also loved that it left our skin looking glowing, smooth and most of all healthy. The shade came out lighter than expected, which is largely because of its SPF15 rating. The foundation worked well with silicone and water-based primers, and we preferred the look we used with the foundation brush because we felt it gave that bit more coverage where needed. Using a beauty blender gave more of a natural finish, which this foundation is designed to do and is ideal if that’s what you’re going for. No7 has, in many ways, changed the game when it comes to affordable, effective skincare and makeup. Flexible spatula device, making it easier to get more foundation (without clogging) from the all recyclable glass bottle It doesn’t really give full coverage to begin with, which is why you’ll need to build up to that kind of coverage if that’s what you’re after. As a result, the No7 Stay Perfect foundation could be a good foundation to cover all bases – lighter coverage for the day and fuller coverage at night. It also offers true-to-colour shade, even with SPF15.The result was better when we used a beauty blender however, the Lift & Luminate Triple Action Serum foundation did still cling to dry patches – regardless of whether we were using the silicone primer or the water-based one. Although it was worse when used with the former. Formulated with SkinExpert™ technology analysing 1.9m skin tones for a true-skin match. Available in 24 shades, this product has been specifically formulated with a medium coverage to blend seamlessly into a range of skin tones.
