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!!
This foundation has some pretty great claims - full coverage, matte finish, no caking, seamless blend and application AND a 24 hour wear time. I tend to agree with these claims for the most part.
Personally, I would say this is a medium buildable coverage (which I prefer). The formula is a thicker mousse like consistency which makes the texture of your skin look really smooth, and it does blend seamlessly. I would also say this foundation is more of a demi matte finish.
The one thing I wouldn’t agree with is the wear time.. I have a super oily t-zone and I found this foundation would start breaking up around my nose and forehead where I get the most oily around the 6 hour mark - which is still pretty good for me! I definitely think this foundation would work best for normal or dry skin types.
The packaging itself is super cute and I love the idea of a squeezy tube!
All in all, I still prefer the Revlon Colourstay for combo/oily skin however I was pretty happy with the coverage and finish of this foundation and would happily reach for it again for times when I don’t need my foundation to last for 6+ hours.
Tips: Use a beauty sponge to apply for a more seamless finish, it’s a little thick and tricky to blend with a brush.
