Revlon Nearly Naked Mineral Powder Foundation Review

I love this stuff and the brush you get free with it is absolutely gorgeous to use. It feels amazing when you're applying it to your skin. This powder provides a light to medium coverage depending on how much you use-I use this as a finishing powder rather than a foundation by itself because it is quite sheer and can make skin feel dry.

There is nothing worse in the summer than seeing someone who is wearing far too much makeup and even worse it is sweating off!

That’s why the Revlon Nearly Naked Mineral Powder is so fantastic. It is perfect to wear when you just want a bit of light coverage for that ‘I’m not wearing makeup look’ or as a finishing powder over your foundation to ensure it doesn’t sweat off in the hot weather.

I find I can’t get away without wearing makeup any more and like to wear something light most days. This is the perfect product to achieve that look, as follows.

As it is my problem area I started with my under eye concealer and then lightly brushed the Revlon Nearly Naked Mineral Powder (in Medium) over my face and neck. Next for a bit of lift I lined my upper lid with a white eye pencil and then applied a natural looking eye shadow over the top on the lids (my favourite is All that glitters by MAC). Next I lightly lined the inner of my lower eye with black and then added mascara.

The final touch was a bit of the Revlon Nearly Naked Mineral Powder on my cheek lines and then clear lip gloss.

Perfect!

I tried out this foundation and being dry skinned it was probably not a great idea. I know that using powders on my skin isn't really flattering, but with a good primer and moisturiser this product actually was pretty good. It did do what it said it did and you really couldn't feel like you had any foundation on, but it just doesn't have the same effect as cream/liquid foundations on my skin especially. It's great for hot summer days when you don't really want to wear much foundation and keep your complexion looking fresh, but I feel like powder is a better option for girls with oilier skin types.

I decided to try this mineral powder after my revlon colorstay aqua had run out and also since it was on special with the bonus of receiving the brush for free :) Although it does not offer a huge amount of coverage (which is fine with me as I don't really need a lot) it does not feel like you really have anything on and since having oily skin it really does help.
