Best Foundation Review!

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته Girls,

Today I will be doing a 3 IN 1 Revlon Foundation Review. I will be reviewing the Revelon Colourstay, Photoready & Nearly Naked foundations, so this will be a long post, go and grab yourself a cup of tea & a snack. 

Sit back, relax & enjoy. 

Starting with the Revlon Colourstay Foundation. Let's take a look at the product description: 

"Longwearing coverage with a lightweight formula that won’t cake, fade, or rub off. With Time Release Technology specifically formulated for combination or oily skin to control oil absorption and shine. Your look stays flawless throughout the day.

Results

• Makeup feels comfortable and wears up to 24 hours.
• Medium to full coverage.
• Comes in 20 beautiful shades."

Now we know what the company says it should do, what do we think? 

I bought this foundation a while ago, during the summer if I remember right. The reason I got it was because of the beautiful '24hr' stamp on the lid. We all love a long lasting foundation don't we? After trying the foundation, I didn't really fall in love with it so I went ahead and bought myself another of the Revlon foundations. Last couple of weeks I decided to try it again and OMG it's perfect! I literally love it! It's probably because my skin has improved so much since I bought it that now the foundation looks flawless on me. 

Packaging

The packaging is nothing special just a regular foundation bottle. It sucks that it has no pump! Would of saved me so much more product if it did. 

Consistency and Coverage

When I use foundations I always ask the same questions, does it leave any dry patches or does it have a nice consistency? It's got an AMAZING consistency and feels & looks perfect on my skin. This foundation is for combination to oily skin which is perfect for me. It's not very runny but it's not very rigid either. It's coverage is medium to full just like Revlon said. It is buildible but honestly covers a lot with one layer. Perfect for a natural look. 

When I started using this foundation last couple of weeks I kept in mind everything I look for in a foundation, does it need a powder to set so that my face doesn't end up as a grease ball? The answer is no, WHAT! That's just fabulous, it sucks up oils all by itself even without a primer. 

Application

To apply this foundation I have been using my Real Techniques Essential Foundation Brush which gives an amazing finish with no harsh lines. 

Price

For a drugstore foundation it is on the pricey side but still very affordable. I got it for £12.49 from boots. 

My shade is in 'Caramel'. It's funny because I love CARAMEL! 

 

      Revlon Colourstay - Boots £12.49

The best part about this foundation is that it gives great coverage & helps control oils. It also doesn't get onto precious clothing or people you greet. 

Pros

•Medium to full coverage 

•Great shine control 

•20 different shades to choose from 

•Long lasting 

•Does not cake or rub off

Cons 

• no pump = product wasted 

• packaging not great 

As you can see the pros outweigh the cons. I absolutely love this foundation and would definitely buy it again. 

Now let's take. Look at the Revlon Photoready foundation which I bought whilst shopping in Central london. The reason I bought it was because some of my favourite youtubers were using it, so I thought i would give it a try. 

The company says : 

"Revlon PhotoReady™ Makeup - for poreless, airbrushed skin in any light. Photochromatic pigments bend and reflect light to erase every flaw. Complete, yet undetectable coverage. Soft, luminous finish.

- Oil free
- Fragrance free
- SPF 20 "

Let's find out if this actually lives up to its expectations. 

When I first tried the Revlon Photoready, I was disappointed to find out it contained glitter/shimmer, that's one thing I don't like about it but I gave it a try anyways. 

Packaging

The packaging is nothing special but the good thing is that it has a pump. 

Consistency & Coverage 

It's consistency is very smooth not too watery. It has a pump so it is easy to control how much you use each time. It doesn't leave any dry patches and feels smooth on the skin. It's coverage is from light to medium but also buildible. 

This foundation is oil free just like Revlon said, so no setting powder is required. 

Application

I use my hands to apply this foundation i dot it all over my face then use a beauty sponge to blend it all onto my skin. 

Price

The price for a drugstore foundation this one is sort of pricey but still affordable, from boots or superdrug for £12.99 

My shade for this foundation is also 'Caramel'. 

       Revlon Photoready - Boots £12.99 

Pros 

•Buildible coverage 

•SPF 20 

•Pump

Cons 

•Contains glitter/shimmer

•Packaging 

•Price 

Overall, I probably wouldn't buy this foundation again. The only the reason I would use this foundation would be for perfect pictures for a photoshoot and to finish what I paid for. 

Now we are going to look at the newest of the foundations by Revlon which is the Nearly Naked foundation. The company says : 

"Makeup so refreshingly light, it melts right in, creating a fresh even look. So the only one that knows you are wearing makeup is you. Blends seamlessly, buildable coverage. 

Revlon’s breakthrough nearly naked makeup balances skin and makeup so they work in perfect harmony. With buildable coverage and seamless blending, you are sure to cover flaws and perfect your skin’s tone and texture. No heavy cakey or greasy mess.

Available in 16 true to tone shades."

I bought this foundation recently because of the tag 'NEW', can you tell I get easily sold and spend money even without reading reviews. I really need a foundation that would give me a fresh look without caking, this was it. I tried it and loved it but there are a few things I don't like about it. 

Packaging

The packaging again is nothing special but has a white lid which I kind of like because I love WHITE lol. First thing I don't like is that it has no pump which is a WASTE. 

Consistency and Coverage

The second thing I don't like is the consistency, it feels really wierd since it's very liquidy. It's coverage is ok not great, I would say it has light to medium coverage but it is buildible. 

Application

At first I used my Real techniques essential foundation brush which gave me a crap finish. It didn't feel or even look good at all. Then I started to just dab it all over my face with my fingers and blend it out, the results were so much better. That's when I fell in love with it, thank you fingers aha. 

Price

The price for this foundation is reasonable and affordable, £8.99 from Boots and Superdrug. 

You probably guessed again my shade is in 'Caramel'. 

      Revlon Nearly Naked - Boots £8.99

Pros 

•SPF 20 

•Price 

•Fresh Natural Look 

Cons 

•Packaging 

•Consistency

Overall, I am in a hate and love relationship with this foundation but it's great for its price I guess. 

Now for the comparison : 

Packaging

Revlon Photoready has the best packaging because it has a pump which saves product and is more useful. 

Consistency and Coverage 

Revlon Colourstay has the best consistency and give amazing coverage of medium to full. 

Application

Revlon Colourstay will give a flawless finish with a brush/sponge or even your fingers. 

Price 

Revlon Colourstay has the best price for its value. 

As you can see the Revlon Colourstay foundation is the best for coverage, application and great value for its price. This is my go to foundation. 

Have you tried any of these, if so which one is your favourite? 

I hope this was useful. 

Thanks for stopping by.
