Does anyone use Boots No7 make up

If so what do you use of it and how do you rate it against more premium brands?

I love the Intelligent Colour Foundation & I prefer it above all others.


The loose powder is pretty good, as is the lipstick in EXCITE & the nail polishes.

Their Hot Cloth Cleanser is fab too:money:

I love no7 make up. Its generally all I buy now. I do try to get my stuff off ebay tho cos I'm skint.

I love the instant radiance under eye concealer, this hardly ever comes up on ebay mind but they are often on a 3 for 2 offer, so can't grumble at that. I use the eyeshadow and mascara too, and the liquid eyeliner. I've never been able to afford 'premium brands' but no7 to me is my 'premium' treat to myself.

Hi, I have a sample of the Intelligent Colour foundation but can't get on with for some reason, its good and not leaving a tidemark round your neck but it isn't very glowy. I like the tinted moisturiser though, that is good. I also love their mascaras and cream blushers. No7 was my main brand until I turned to Clinique for foundation and lipstick.

No7 cleansing wipes are good too but I only get them with the five pound voucher as £6 for a packet of wipes is rather OTT.

I also like the black liquid liner.

Use much much less, are you using light.

Yes I think its the light one I have, either that or medium. I do like a glowy look and the sales assistant in Boots told me this is their best selling foundation and people like it for holidays as I guess it just adapts to your tan. It certainly takes away the tidemark that I get even with tinted moisturiser. I notice it also has an SPF in it so I guess there's no need to wear SPF moisturiser with it, like the tinted moisturiser.

Its one of those products I really want to like but can't make work, I maybe am not using it right or giving it much of a chance. Its certainly cheaper than Clinique too

Sorry I read it wrong, I thought you said you were getting a tide mark.

I guess its not very glowly, but its VERY natural so its not matt or mask like either.
I love it because its soooo light.

Mrs E, do you use an SPF moisturiser underneath it? Do you use powder with it also?

I use different moisturisers under it (Liz Earle light, Oil of Olay foaming & I think I will try Cliniques DDM gel - my DD really rates it). I occasionally use a primer (don't bother for work though) & yes I use loose powder on top. Love Laura mercier but No.7 is a damn close second.

I use their Sensitive Eyes mascara and Moisture Drench lipstick. They used to do a really nice light-diffusing foundation but discontinued it a couple of years ago. I tried the Intelligent Colour one, but even though it looked OK when first on, I developed streaks after an hour or so. Tried the Perfect and Protect foundation too but it made my skin sensitive. Their eye shadows and blushers are nice though.

Anyone tried the primer in the white flat tube?
