CATKIN SUMMER PALACE Foundation for Mature Skin, Full Coverage Foundation with Lightweight and Breathable Formula, Refillable Cushion Foundation 13g*2

I don’t really write reviews. But had to share, I don’t wear foundation as a rule, usually only for evenings out etc, but this is so nice I’ve been popping some on in the morning. It’s just so lovely. The coverage is full coverage but not heavy at all, and I don’t feel like I’m wearing a mask which is how foundation usually makes me feel.I really love it, and the packaging is gorgeous and sturdy too with a good mirror.I am 60, and it doesn’t ’age’ my skin as some do by caking etc. it’s really good, I chose the shade w11 which I based on the information from their store page, which you can click through to, very happy with the shade, it’s what I expected.

This foundation is surprisingly good for the price. The color options are mainly in lighter shades. It provides high coverage, applies smoothly, lasts all day, does not dry my skin and doesn’t look cakey at all. I have very sensitive skin, and I tolerated this foundation quite well. It effectively covered my sunspots and added a lovely pearlescent glow.As a plus I love the design of the case, it is very feminine.I don't give 5 stars because it has no scent at all. I would prefer a classic makeup scent, but overall , I would recommend it.

This is magical. !I’ve used the other catkin ‘Peach blossom’ bb cream for some time which is great for my oily chin but not for th rest of my face it’s a bit drying.However this panda c01 is a game changer it is amazing it makes my skin look immaculate and like I have slept for a week it so healthy and like glass skin and moves like skin it doesn’t look like I’m wearing makeupIt also is much more nourishing and moisturising around my eyes and nose / nasolabia/ and cheeksI will be repurchasing 100% love it and the colour is great on me with out making me look like a ghostbut I am vey fair and platinum blonde

Fantastic coverage. So easy to apply. Bit lighter in colour than expected but really lovely make-up. With the additional refill. Brilliant.

I’ve used this for quite a few years now and the product itself is lovely. However, the price has increased quite a lot and the amount of product has definitely decreased. The compact plus the spare would easily last months, I don’t even wear make up every day and I’m having to replace much sooner. Unfortunately I’ll be looking for an alternative to try.

I was on the bench about this product,only because it doesn't give you proper swatches, it would be ideal if you could compare the brands so you don't waste money on buying the wrong colour, I don't really write reviews but wanted to help people if they considered buying this.I bought C03 , I only bought this colour because people mentioned it being light, I found this colour a little dark, its very easy to blend, and it comes in a real good quality compact with a mirror and matching poof which has a really nice design, coverage wise is amazing like it don't sink in the pores and it don't streak or oxidise, you do have to apply a few dabs on areas u want to cover but I didn't feel I was lathering it on , people say it's dry, I actually didn't think this, if you lift the sponge there's plenty in there , and yes you get a backup one, apart from the shade which is workable I'd give it four, because I think it's expensive in terms of not matching your skin tone, I decided when I have the money I will buy the C02, for reference I wear Clinique better foundation in breeze and Bobbi brown foundation stick in sand, I found C03 was a little dark

I love my catkin cushion foundation!I’m light skinned , with freckles and a slight olive undertone- W11 is perfect for me. It comes with a replacement cushion too so lasts ages, very buildable coverage. Love it, I’ll definitely be repurchasing.

It is good colour and coverage but slightly tacky to the touch. Used a powder over the top to rectify. Easy to apply lasted well and nice packaging
