Right pal, pour yourself a wee glass cause I'm giving you the honest lowdown on this No7 Lift & Luminate Triple Action Serum Foundation after wearing it for weeks through proper Glasgow rain and daft nights out. This isn't some posh nonsense that flakes off by lunchtime - it's actually a decent bit of kit that makes your face look brighter without feeling like a mask.

At £16.52 it's no bank breaker especially when no7 Beauty has it for £12.57 versus Boots' £20.95. Our site's got it as #1 in foundations with 5 stars from 26 reviews and after testing it myself I get why. No7's serum tech with vitamins C and E does the job without any of that overhyped shite.

Texture and first impressions

Squeezed it out and it felt like a light serum not that heavy gloop some foundations are. Blends like a dream with my brushes or fingers, no tugging on my dry Scottish skin even in winter. First go it covered my uneven tone and age spots without looking caked on.

Pure dead impressed from the off. Comfortable as hell, smells of bugger all and the SPF15 is a bonus for our shite weather. Didn't irritate my sensitive skin one bit and gave an instant glow that doesn't scream 'I've got makeup on'.

Wear and day-to-day use

Wore it from my morning cuppa through a damp UK commute and even after a few wines it stayed put. Medium coverage that moves with your face so no creasing into my laughter lines or sliding off like some do. Looked healthy and fresh by teatime.

Tested it on proper busy days and it handled the rain, the central heating and a cheeky gossip sesh without going patchy. Doesn't migrate into wrinkles and the flexible formula is a godsend if you're expressive like me. Better than the fancy stuff I've wasted cash on.

Value and who it suits

For £16.52 or less this is cracking value especially with the 5-star rating and #1 spot on uk-lips.co.uk. Beats paying over twenty quid at Boots when it performs this well. No pretentious price tag for decent results that last.

Suits my mature skin and anyone over 35 battling pigmentation or fine lines who wants medium coverage without the heaviness. Perfect if you've got sensitive skin or hate makeup that feels like a mask. Pairs brilliant with my usual moisturiser and a quick cleanse at night.

Our verdict

4.5 / 5 Final take

I'm giving this No7 Lift & Luminate Triple Action Serum Foundation a solid 4.5 out of 5. It's comfy, reliable and makes you look brighter and more even without any faff. Does what it promises in real British weather and routines.

Grab it here No7 Lift & Luminate Triple Action Serum Foundation 30ml and see for yourself, hen. Total winner for us normal folk who want good skin without the bullshit.
