No7 has launched the Pro Artist Silk Glaze Skin Tint, a lightweight, buildable formula designed to deliver a glazed-skin finish. Priced at £17.95 and available in 12 shades, the tint can be worn alone or layered under foundation. It aims to blur imperfections and provide hydration for a lit-from-within glow.
Sarah Bradbury's Verdict on the Silk Glaze Skin Tint
Junior Publisher Sarah Bradbury tested the product and reported: 'As someone who prefers a lighter base, especially in summer, No7’s Pro Artist Silk Glaze Skin Tint was just what my skin and I were looking for. The lightweight formula gave my skin a gorgeous lit-from-within glow while helping to blur redness and even out my complexion without feeling heavy.' She added that coverage is sheer but buildable, requiring only a little concealer for redness and dark circles. 'What I love most is that it delivers that glazed-skin finish that’s everywhere right now without making my skin look greasy,' she said.
Claie Wilson Tests the Lift & Luminate Triple Action Serum Foundation
Deputy Editor Claie Wilson put the No7 Lift & Luminate Triple Action Serum Foundation (£20.95) through rigorous conditions, including a 53km hike across the Cotswolds. She noted: 'I still looked relatively fresh 12 hours later.' She also wore it on a 24+ hour flight to New Zealand. Despite initial reluctance to replace her Charlotte Tilbury Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint, she found No7's foundation offered more obvious coverage while remaining subtle and natural. 'I also loved how the light-reflecting particles helped highlight my cheekbones, and it easily blended in with my 53-year-old skin without sitting in any of the fine lines,' she said.
Scott Da Silva-Wells Reviews the HydraLuminous Moisturising Foundation
Beauty contributor Scott Da Silva-Wells tried the No7 HydraLuminous Moisturising Foundation, currently on sale for £12.71 (usually £16.95). Available in 19 shades, it contains antioxidants like Mulberry Concentrate and Vitamins A, C, and E, plus SPF 15. Scott said: 'I think I might have just found one of my new favourite foundations.' He praised the formula for blending effortlessly and melting into the skin. 'The coverage is amazing. It’s quite pigmented so it provides medium coverage, but it’s buildable,' he added. He wore it from 9 AM to 10 PM without touch-ups, and after removal, his skin felt hydrated and glowed brighter.
Overall Impression
All three testers found No7 foundations to be effective and affordable alternatives to high-end brands. The Pro Artist Silk Glaze Skin Tint is particularly recommended for summer, offering a glazed finish without greasiness. The Lift & Luminate foundation impressed with its longevity and light-reflecting particles, while the HydraLuminous foundation delivered medium coverage with a natural finish.
