I absolutely LOVE this foundation. I came across it by chance, I was out to buy more MAC but the farmers I called into didn't have it. The sales assistant in the beauty department said this product came highly recommended. We did a swatch and I couldn't believe how well it blended into my skin tone, I was instantly sold.
This foundation is very thick and creamy and a little goes a very long way, the tube is convenient. I have found it blends best with my fingers instead of a blender or brush and boy does it blend, it goes on so smooth and thins out nicely as it melts into the skin. The coverage to me is medium, it does an OK job of covering flaws but I do still use concealer for more stubborn spots. It does not set into the creases under my eyes and is very forgiving if I forget to moisturise. The oxidisation is minimal compared to colorstay liquid foundation which is great. I have been using this product for a month now and have already repurchased when I saw it on sale. The tube is deceptively small, I feared I would burn through it quickly but as I said before, a little goes a long way and it is very economical.
I have quite an oily T zone and this product is very mattifying and stays matte all day, even after working for 10 hours my complexion is flawless.
Makeup tends to dry and separate on my nose - it's quite shiny but that seems to be reduced by half compared to other makeups I've used.
In conclusion, you need to try this foudation, I can't reccomend it enough!
I really like this foundation. I had to wear it the moment it arrived. I have dry to normal skin (and I'm 40 something!), and uneven skin tone is my biggest woe, so foundation is a must, and medium to full coverage is my preference.
This Revlon foundation is a great size, and tube fits nicely in a makeup bag - it's not bulky at all. I chose shade Ivory, which was perfect for my pale skin. The consistency of the foundation itself is quite thick, however it goes on so smoothly and is anything but thick and heavy. I dotted a few smudges of the product around my face, so maybe used a pea-sized amount all up at the most per application and that was plenty for coverage.
It does blend very well. Very few streaks and as you blend it in, it just seems to blend in with ease. It has a really lovely natural light feel finish when blended, but with what I thought was a good medium to full coverage. Because it blends so well you can build on it to get the coverage you're looking for, if you prefer the heavier foundation look.
I applied the foundation with the beauty blender and a brush. The kabuki brush was my favourite for applying this foundation to get good coverage and a nice even finish.
Wear through the day was excellent. I noticed no real fade at all around my T-Zone. My chin had a little wear - but I tend to lean on my chin when sitting at my desk.
Through the day my face/skin never looked caked with foundation. It also never felt dry or tight. Wrinkles looked fairly minimal but still concealed, which was also great.
I think one of the best features of this foundation was that although it was full coverage, it wasn't as heavy feeling as others, so your skin still felt light and moist, rather than tight and dry. It had a really great natural feel to it, without compromising on coverage.
Removal was easy, but it definitely needs a robust cleanser or micellar water to remove it thoroughly. I tend to double cleanse with stay-put makeup products. I had no breakouts with using this foundation either which I tend to have with the heavier foundations!
This one's a keeper for my collection as it works well for my skin type, and age, without amplifying the challenges of ageing! Thanks Revlon and BR for this review opportunity - love this one!!
