Revlon foundations look great on, but always make me breakout! However, they are so nice on I would use them for nights out or a special occasion but really can't use them all the time, it's a shame because I do love them on.

This use to be my go-to everyday foundation however after a while I found my skin just didnt like it anymore and it wouldnt sit properly and made my skin look oilier or made me breakout more. So I switched between foundations for a while and would use it for special occasions which worked fine for me. For the price its great, however I have since switched to MAC.
I use to always buy this but found it's so overpriced and I found it needed to be set with powder to make sure it stayed, it's a pretty decent formula but for me I feel I can get such a nicer foundation for the cost. Also not a fan of not having a pump very hard to the needed amount
For a start, the glass bottle is really inconvenient. You have to pour the foundation onto your hands, which is really time-consuming and usually ends up with wasting product. This didn't make my skin break-out, and most foundations do, so that was an up-side for me. The colour was a good match and the colour really did stay, so much so that it is difficult to get off. But that's where the pro's for me ended. I couldn't blend this stuff into my skin with my fingers or a brush, it always ended up looking caked on, no matter how hard I tried. I had to resort to using sponges which made it slightly better, but it still looked cakey. The colour also oxidised throughout the day to have a slight orange look. I would not repurchase this, as it didn't really suit me, but other people seem to love it, so it might just be my oily skin. IMO there are other Revlon foundations that are much better than this.
Tips: Apply using make-up sponges for a more even and less cakey texture.
This product isn't good for medium skin tones I always seem to look orange when it's applied I don't know if its just me but yeah. I don't really like it but its okay it doesn't do that much coverage it feels like your wearing foundation so that was a let down. To me it wasn't light it was heavy on my face.
When I first bought this I loved it! I thought it was the best foundation I had ever used.
It came in a glass bottle with a pump and had nice simple packaging. This was is the most expensive foundation I had ever bought and I thought it was great.
However since buying and trying other foundation this has been pushed to the back of my make up cabinet an d I barely reach for it anymore. I wear the colour buff. I personally think the colour washes me out even though it suits my skin nicely. Its also really easy to get it cakey so you have to watch how much your applying at a time it's also a mission to get off and clogs my pores so I really have to scrub it off. I only like wearing it to work because it's so humid there it stays put where others don't. This foundation is just okay for me and once I've finished my bottle I probably won't repurchase. I think there are better foundations than this. It just wasn't as great as it was hyped up to be.
Tips: Work quick with buffing it in as it drys quite quickly and then you can't work it into your skin
I bought this version as I heard/was told it didn't oxidise as badly as the other. When you using this because my skin it normal to dry I have to use quite a heavy silicone primer which is fine and the finish is nice I end up with a Demi matte finish but for a heavier coverage foundation it doesn't really do it for me.
I bought this product twice to get the right match. I even when into farmers to get colour matched and when I tried it at home I found that it had a pink undertone. The coverage for this foundation is good and it is very buildable. I found that this foundation is very shiny after applying so I used a powder to set it and it lasted all day. The smell is foundation wasn't too strong either. I don't think I would buy this product again as I couldn't find a yellow undertone colour that would match my skin tone even though when I researched it online it said it did have a yellow undertone.
This foundation is great as in its heavy and covers blemishes well but this product really dried out my skin. It stayed on all day but by the end of the day it began to look pasty and rather cakey. The colour matched my skin well and was amazing at hiding my imperfections but just dried my skin out too much.
I purchased this after a watching a recommendation of a youtube guru - I found on my skin it seems to look cakey after a primer and putting a translucent powder over top, even after buffing this into my skin with a flat top brush. It does seem to have full coverage though.
