Collection 2000 Natural Matt+ Foundation 25/01/2008

User doesn't recommend the product

Advantages Keeps skin dry and grease-free all day ~ Cheap ~ Easy to apply
Disadvantages No coverage

Little information is available for Collection 2000, save for their contact details (see below). I first became aware of them as a teenager - their products were often given away with teen magazines such as Just 17 or More! Their whole range is extremely good value for money with foundations starting at around £1.99. I was looking for a cheap, everyday-wear foundation and I decided to choose Collection 2000 as I've liked their products in the past. I bought this foundation from eBay costing £1.99. I'm unsure of their full range of colours, but I chose Natural Ivory as I'm very pale. Natural ... more

COVER UP WITH THIS 3IN1 POWDER 26/03/2002

User recommends the product

Advantages Works well
Disadvantages Not much

COLLECTION 2000 POWDER Recently I've been having spot troubles and it really started to get me down, people say you shouldn't put anything on the stupid things but they look so ridiculous you blatantly have to put something on during the hours of daylight to hide them! A foundation would seem the ideal solution so off I went to my local Superdrug. Now I'm not loaded and usually find myself with a few quid left in the bottom of my pocket or my wallet as the case may be! When I'm after reasonable priced make-up of a decent quality I always rush straight to my collection 2000 stand where my ... more

Makeup for the Money
Review with images
18/06/2008

User recommends the product

Advantages Cheap and Affordable
Disadvantages Low Coverage

Makeup for the Money Collection 2000 Foundation I first started using this collection as a teenager as the prices are very low compared to many makeup brands. Don't get me wrong, this is not just a foundation for teenagers, and the price does not reflect the condition in any way. Let me explain further; ******THE PRODUCT****** Collection 2000 can be brought from most places selling makeup, such as Superdrug, Boots and Tescos. You generally find it at the end of the makeup aisle as it is one of the cheapest collections around. The foundations generally start at around £1.99 to about £2.79 ... more

3 in 1 magic coverage 07/02/2001

User recommends the product

Advantages Great value and quick results
Disadvantages may need a bit of patience to find the best way to use it for YOU

Sheer Finish 3 in 1 powder makeup is one of the options to create a base from collection 2000. I saw it in superdrug, and since I was short of cash, I decided to try it instead of a much more expensive product. What you get for your money (around 2.99) is a rectangular compact, inside is a mirror and decently sized makeup sponge, as well as the makeup itself. You can use the sponge damp or dry (it does need washing regularly), and the coverage is excellent. It doesn't irritate your skin, and the light shade matches my skin tone very well. the amount of makeup will last you a reasonable amount ... more

3 in 1 Value 06/03/2001

User recommends the product

Advantages 3 in 1 value for money. Great coverage and nice price!
Disadvantages Only getting your sponge dry for the Powder application!

Collection 2000 is a wide range of cosmetics which are economically priced and usually of a high standard and great value for money! I think it's definitely an underrated brand...Give it a go! The "Sheer Wet & Dry 3 in 1 make up" is a very handy little product and pretty essential in any girl's handbag! It contains a Foundation, Concealer & powder and a useful sponge for application. The container is a sturdy fold-out case with a mirror and 1 single powder compartment inside! First you appy the the Foundation with a damp sponge, then you apply the Concealer (damp also) and then finally with a ... more

Magic coverage ! 24/08/2007

User recommends the product

Advantages Covers spots, makes skin flawless, hides shine, cheap
Disadvantages makes skin quite pale

I needed a cheap foundation, that made my skin look good and cover my spots. I was having a really difficult time finding one that was good. All the ones that were recommended to me cost about £20, and Im only a fifteen year old girl, I cant afford that ! I have always loved Collection 2000 things, they are cheap but great ! I was recommended this by a friend. I went to my local town and into superdrug, where I found it. It was £3.99, probably the cheapest foundation in the whole shop ! When I got home, I opened it and felt VERY disappointed. I even thought about taking it back. --------- It ... more

Natural Matt 23/10/2002

User recommends the product

Advantages The Price!!!
Disadvantages It wears off very quickly

I am a huge, huge fan of Collection 2000. For an out of work girl like myslef, the range of products are extremely cheap. I always expect to get what I pay for, and the first time I tried Collection 2000's Natural Matt foundation, I expected it to be a bit naff. Wrong! It's bloomin' good! Unfortunetly I was born with very greasy skin - no matter how much fruit and veg I scoff, or how many gallons of water I drain, it is still greasy. Finding a foundation to suit my skin type has always been a big problem. Unless I am prepared to pay over £10 for a 'good' foundation, then I have to make do with ... more

Natural Matt - Natural Coverage 31/07/2003

User recommends the product

Advantages good coverage, cheap,
Disadvantages wears off easily

Recently I've become quite addicted to Collection 2000, I have many of their products, so when I needed some new foundation , I instantly went to my Collection 2000 stand. The good thing about this foundation is not just the price, at just £1.79, my expectations weren't exactly what you would call high, but I knew it wouldn't let me down. The colour I use is Natural Beige 3, this is a medium tone, although there are much lighter and darker ones. I tend to have a few blemishes andspots around my t-zone, but this foundation covered them up easily. It went on smooth, didn't look cakey, and look ... more

Collection 2000 23/07/2000

User recommends the product

The Collection 2000 range does not usually impress me, however the 3 in 1 foundation works wonders! It acts as a wet and dry foundation, powder and concealer. The sponge that comes with it is good to use when damp or dry, but for a perfect finish it is best to use it damp. The foundation is easy to get off your skin but lasts for as long as you want it to. The name may not be big, but at £2.99 the foundation will last a long time and is a definite bargain. I would recommend this to anyone in need of a good foundation that doesn't like to have to carry around concealers too, as this is a very ... more

Keep Me Moist 25/03/2006

User recommends the product

Advantages Covers Well
Disadvantages Not For Those Who Dont KLike There Skin Clogged Up

I'm not a person who wears a lot of make-up, especially nothing that is too heavy, i like to wear it (a) when i go to work and (b) when i go out, then it's light. On saying that though, i often use a foundation, i do like a good base when i do wear the stuff, and i find wearing this is like painting without undercoat! Going from past experience I have always found Collection 2000 a brand i often return too. Having just added a few new additions to my half empty make-up bag the above is one of them. So what does it look like, well it stands between 3 and 4 inches high, with a navy coloured lid ... more
