The health and beauty firm's newest addition offers a full-day coverage that is ideal for anyone with a busy lifestyle.
Ask any beauty fan what is the best high street owned brand and many will say Boots' No7. Offering popular lines that often sell out and cause massive queues, there's no denying its popularity.
So, when the health and beauty chain decides to update its luxury range with a brand new foundation that is said to give an "airbrushed finish", we, alongside many others, pay attention.
For those who don't like that cakey, heavy feeling on their face, this Pro Artist Weightless Silk Sheer Foundation is ideal for a lightweight coverage that is said to remain in place all day long.
Costing £19.95 for a 30ml bottle, it has been designed to "glide seamlessly" onto the skin, offering a radiant, fresh appearance for 12 different skin tones, although it's worth noting that some are already sold out online.
With added vitamin C, it helps to brighten the skin, while vitamin E supports the skin's natural moisture barrier, and hyaluronic acid helps to lock in moisture for a hydrating effect.

"So smooth and easy to apply (I applied over No.7's highly rated facial sunscreen). Good range of shades (I chose a fair shade "creme" which was a good match)."
A second glowing review read: "Love this foundation for the summer, it's lightweight and the coverage is great for hiding redness but showing freckles! And it has vitamin c/e and hyaluronic acid!"
Beauty deal of the week
Looking for last minute gift inspiration for dad ahead of Sunday, June 15.
Then don't fret, as we have you covered, as no-one can go wrong with a new bottle of cologne, and we have spotted Versace's The Dreamer for him Eau de Toilette for 67 percent less at Superdrug.
Hailed for being "underrated" and "truly unique", a large 100ml bottle of this fragrance has been dropped from £74 to £24, allowing you to make a huge saving of £50 and get in a thoughtful gift.
Described as "warm" and "fresh", Versace's Dreamer is an aromatic fragrance that, while belonging to the cologne family, is said to boast a variety of notes that make it suitable for both men and women.
The scent opens on vibrant notes of juniper, tarragon, and artemisia, before blending into heart notes of iris, lily and flax flowers to add a touch of softness. It then ends on a comforting base of tobacco blossom and amber, offering a smoky, luxurious finish.
The transparent, clear fragrance itself is housed in an opulent glass bottle that has been embossed with the iconic medusa logo, representing the luxury aesthetic of the iconic fashion house.
Versace's Dreamer EDT has managed to earn glowing reviews and a 4.6 rating from shoppers, with one saying: "Truly unique and dreamy fragrance. It's a great fragrance but it's underrated. Guys you have to try this one, it's great for all year round."
And someone else wrote: "Not to be overlooked. This is a lesser known Versace men's fragrance but oh my it is gorgeous ! Hubby loved it and amazing value for money."

"It's so radiant on my dry skin, with no patchy bits or pilling. I love the hydrating feel and the luminous skin-like finish. A real winner!"
While it hasn't garnered much negative feedback so far, one shopper did knock a star off over the packaging, writing: "Just recently purchased this foundation. Really love this product, only problem I find is the tube is very hard so you cant squeeze the foundation out."
Someone else who appreciated the foundation wrote: "This is such a lightweight , blurring foundation. It made my skin look flawless and I felt very confident wearing it."
