Nearly Naked Foundation Liquid in 150 Nude topped with the pressed powder in 020 Light Pale. As you can see it has a warmer undertone with a pinkish tinge. It has a satin finish if not set with powder. I used liquid highlighter on the top of my cheekbones and nose btw. My skin had minor bumps and pre-menstrual breakouts when this photo was taken. The foundation did a good job of concealing those flaws perfectly.
If you're wondering why I suddenly look tanned and fabulous ;) I used a dark shimmery bronze body powder all over my body since the products sent to me were shades darker than my actual skintone. Ayan! Keri na! <3 I CAN HAS J.LO SKIN TOO!!! :p
My review:
Liquid foundation
Pros
Pros
- Very light and thin consistency- feels like you're not wearing makeup
- Very natural almost invisible coverage (esp if you don't set it with powder) it looks like your skin but better.
- Satin finish- almost matte but not "flat"
- Long lasting and sweatproof- it did not melt even when I went out and was sweating buckets.
- Not greasy/oily- did not cause my skin to oil up.
- Did not make me break out
- Light to medium coverage (buildable)
- Has SPF 20
- Affordable Php 525 each
Cons
- The shade did not match my skintone- I love this foundation actually, I just need one that matches my skintone :)))
- May highlight dry patches (exfoliate and moisturize thoroughly before using this)
- Glass bottle has no pump dispenser.
Pressed Powder
The powder did a good job of setting the makeup and helped controlled my t-zone oilies for about 3 hours or so. It does not really offer much coverage on its own and it doesn't really show up when I try to swatch it. This product is meant to top over foundation only or control shine- not for concealing imperfections and minor coverage.
Overall Take
I was ecstatic when I received my package from Revlon! I've heard really good things about this range and I am so happy that it is finally available in the Philippines. Despite not matching my skintone, I decided to still give it a go and tried to make myself look tanned instead. I also tried it on my mom who has a darker skintone than me and it worked on her perfectly.
Do I recommend this? Yes! This is perfect for everyday use especially if you want a natural looking coverage that does not look cakey or flat. Just make sure to exfoliate and to find the perfect shade match for your skintone for natural seamless coverage <3
