Revlon Nearly Naked Mineral Powder Foundation Review

I got given this powder foundation from a friend who paid $37 from a unichem pharmacy, i was very lucky that it was the shade light and was the perfect colour for me. This is the first powder foundation i have used and like the name it defiantly is nearly naked but i love it for those days when you don't feel like wearing much, its very light weight. The best way i found to apply it was to tip the little tub up side down when the lid is on as it gave me enough product to do my whole face then i use my real technique powder brush and sweep it all over my face. Didn't really have much of a smell. I loved the coverage as it was like you were wearing nothing but for ladies who wear a lot more coverage, i wouldn't recommend, it lasted the day as long as i didn't rub my face. When i got given this product it was pretty much brand new and it has lasted me a good 5-6 months using it quite often so if i had paid the $37 i would have been happy with that. I haven't used other powder foundations so i can't really compare but i think its well worth the money! i recommend this powder to all my friends that like light coverage and will be repurchasing once i have used the last of it up. 5/5 from me!

I bought 2 of these powders on special about a month ago, I didn't try it in store and was disappointed when I used it, it applied a real light colour then it went super orange!!! It also felt wet and emphasised my pores.

When needing a new mineral powder I consulted with the local beautician at the chemist and I tried Revlon Nearly Naked Mineral powder. I wear minimal makeup in summer and this gave the effect I wanted. The Medium shade looked wonderful. It is easy to apply, had super coverage, felt lovely and was light for summer with SPF 15. Since then I have added a BB cream for autumn with the mineral powder as a top coat. Love it. People have asked if I wear makeup and are amazed when I tell them what I am using. It covers imperfections and works well on my mature skin. I will definitely buy this again as the product lasts for ages.

I already use a really good mineral foundation so I'm quite used to the application method and therefore also, what to expect from results so when I had a voucher I figured I'd give this a try and satisfy my curiosity (which was piqued because this doesn't contain any Bismuth Oxychloride which a lot of them tend to do).

I picked up Medium as it was during summer and skin was a little bit darker than usual. One of the great things about mineral powder foundation is that you can easily mix it with another colour to make it lighter or darker as you need so I wasn't worried I had the wrong colour.

I had a few expectations from this product and surprisingly it has met them all: 1) It needed to contain no ingredients known to cause irritation or potential breakouts. 2) It needed to provide decent coverage. 3) It needed to make skin not look oily/greasy at any time after application (a problem I have with a lot of products). 4) It needed to look natural. 5) It needed to be transfer resistant ie not come off on fingers or clothes. 6) It needed to last from the time I put it on in the morning till the time I took it off at night.

I tried this with my usual kabuki and it was ok, not great, just didn't find it gave me the coverage I was looking for but when I used this over my regular mineral powder foundation with my cheap $14 ELF kabuki from K-mart I was blown away. It gave a beautiful satin-matte finish and made my skin look almost flawless (a miracle since I have a lot of acne scarring).

The grind is so fine that the jar it comes in will last you a very long time which is fantastic as it has become a staple in my routine.

I use this day in and day out (and will need to buy more in the next few weeks!) I absolutely love it, I don't wear a lot of makeup, and never wear heavy makeup, so this does it quite nicely for me though it did take some getting used to, to be able to put it on right and not end up with thick patches where I hadn't tapped the excess off the brush well enough.

I set my MAC face and body with this powder every day, and it has not failed me yet! I also wear it on it's own frequently and it sits nicely without anything underneath.

I used this powder over the Nearly Naked Liquid Foundation and found that it worked a treat! It gives nice, light and natural coverage and doesn't look caked on!

The brush that comes with it it so soft and gorgeous to use!

I actually prefer the pressed powder version of this product as I found that this one goes everywhere, even after tapping excess off the brush, I think I was just getting too much on the brush to start with!!

I purchased this as I find liquid foundations clog me up way too much. It has a nice consistency although with only 5 shades it can be difficult to get a good colour match. I have second to darkest shade and if I'm not careful I can look orange. The brush is lovely and even if I stop using this the brush is a keeper!

I would recommend this for someone with young and relatively unblemished skin. It can settle into lines and crevices.

This is my first powder foundation (thanks to a competition I won) so I'm still getting used to this form of make up. It's great for when you want some coverage without feeling like you have too much make up on (especially Summer!). I have mine in Medium and does well to match my skin tone. However I have to make sure I don't go overboard and end up looking darker than I am.
