I find this foundation to be like a loyal, reliable friend: it’s affordable, a decent brand, and it adequately hides imperfections - especially redness and/or mild acne. It is a foundation you can use daily. I now feel naked if I leave the house without it on because I have come to rely on it as part of my daily beauty regime.

A trustworthy friend
Tips: I apply a moisturiser to my skin first, then mascara and then I use an under eye, dark circle concealer before applying this product to my skin.

Impressed
Stay proof? Absolutely! I was impressed that it didn't transfer when I touched my face. Only my oils transferred. They have a nice selection of shades. The glass bottle has a nice pump. The coverage is medium to buildable and this product was nice and long wearing. It sat a little funny on and around my nose so it did look a little cakey.

The perfect foundation for cover and longwear
I used this foundation for years and thought it was time to change it up and used another for about 6 months before I realized nothing beats this one for cover and longevity. I have combination skin and this goes on well over it all and given my skin a great overall cover without looking like it is caked on like some foundations do. I have a bad habit of running my hands over my face during the day when i get stressed at work and even after doing that at the end of the day a touch up with a little powder and I am good to go without having to reapply my whole face again!
Tips: Buy 2 when its on special so you always have back up. If you want to go for a less shine look a bit of Revlon Photoshop ready powder over it looks fantastic.

Over hype
So I purchased this foundation souly on the many raving reviews and well lets just say It was not what people made it out to be. The colour choices are very limited and have more warm tones than cool tones. I found its not at all long wearing and Its expensive for what the actual product delivers. I was bummbed because they have so much lovely products and I was hoping this would be a hit!! So Unfortunately I am still on the look out for a new go to foundation.
Tips: Don’t believe everything you read lol

Not as good as the old formula
I have been buying this for years, there was a time that I wore this ever day. That was long before the pump was added to the bottle. The formula has changed a few times now over the years and with it's current formula, this is not my HG foundation anymore. It IS my HG skintone match however, Buff 150, I am neutral-warm, slightly yellow but pale and nothing has ever matched me as well as Buff. I do use it whenever I am looking up swatches to help compare other foundations before I buy them.
I have dry skin but get a bit oily because of anxiety so I usually go for more mattifying foundations so that they will last throughout my entire day when I sweat. This current formula does not last even half a day before settling into lines and becoming shiny even when I use powder under and over the foundation, and a mattifying primer. I have not tried this with setting spray, that is something I am planning on doing in the future.
Tips: I have applied this with both a beauty blender and a stippling brush and both seem a fine way to apply it. If you have an olive skin tone or not foundation has matched you before, definitely give Buff a try!

Great colour for pice
This foundation by Revlon was one of my first and I would it very easy to apply. As a pale gal, I found the colour of this foundation a very good match as well as being easily blended with other to find the perfect match after a tan. While this foundation was quite reasonable for its price I'm not sure how well it lasted 24hrs.

My everyday foundation
I love this product as its been the closest colour match ive ever had. Moderate price point makes it an easy staple for everyday wear. It is very easy to apply, i use a brush. It is also easy to do more than one layer if needing a heavier base. It does rub off, so it needs to be set on with powder.

My Fav
This is the best foundation I have found. It does what it says and lasts a long time. It has great coverage and is not thick so doesn't look caked on. It gives redness and gives a nice even finish. Love it.
Tips: Using a decent foundation brush helps it set better abs gives a more flawless finish.

I have been using this foundation on and off since I was 17. I swear they have changed it however as it seems to be medium coverage now and 10 years ago it used to be a lot thicker. I love this foundation for the price and the coverage is quite good. However, I have combination skin and it doesn’t stop my face from looking oily. You can buy this foundation from many places which I like. The pump bottle is much more convenient also.
Tips: Use a powder overtop.
