The best foundation out there!

I can't say enough good thing about this foundation. It is just GREAT! I have dry skin with dry patches here and there, and pretty much all foundations tinted moisturizers, bb's, etc make the dry patches more visible, but not Revlon Age defying foundation. Now I don't know if this foundation actually helps fight wrinkles, this is not the ultimate goal for me, but it is amazingly creamy and moistur...read moreizing! It goes on very smoothly, and is very easy to blend. There is zero caking, the finish is natural, and slightly dewy. It has good buildable coverage. I'm generally not looking to have full coverage, so for every day I just apply one thin layer to even out the skin tone, but if you apply more layers it will cover more without making it obvious you have foundation on. This foundation stays on perfect all day, and I never use primer with it, cause it goes on so well, and is so moisturizing! I haven't experienced any melting or transferring to clothes with it. I generally like Revlon foundations and the variety of shades they offer, but this one is by far the best. Beats all Lancome, Clinique, and other much more expensive foundations I've tried. It ultimately is like a CC cream, just not called that. My mom loves this foundation too, and she generally hates wearing foundations because she claims she feels them on her skin all day and because they cake on skin. That's really saying something about how great this is. The foundation has a bit of a scent which I'm not particularly in love with, but it's not bad. And I don't like that it is in a bottle without a pump, but despite that all I give it 10 stars, and would gladly give more if I could. Definitely recommend this wonderful product, and will keep buying it, cause it keeps my skin feeling and looking great!

Not Bad

The palest color was actually a pretty good match. I wasn't blown away by this foundation. I'm oily and by lunch it had completely disappeared off my face. Its a smooth consistancy, very little to no smell. Too bad it had no staying power.

Works very well

I actually might buy a 2nd bottle of this foundation! It applies smoothly, covers fairly well (not the best I've encountered but not bad), and wears all day with minimal touch-ups. The bottle says it gives a "radiant finish" so if you prefer your skin to look matte, just use setting powder over it. As far as I can tell, it hasn't broken me out or irritated my skin which is a plus. It doe...read moresn't dry my skin out either. Weird side note: since purchasing this, my foundation brush is much more difficult to clean, For some reason the makeup stays in the bristles very well and I usually need to use a somewhat harsh shampoo to get it all out. Not a big deal to me but might be for some!

Good Foundation

It has a nice texture, blends smoothly, covers nicely without looking cakey. I will buy it again but wish it still came in the pump application version.

Great for DRY SKIN too

I had gone back to this after trying that awful Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse. I had previously used this foundation's formula for dry skin for several years. This formula is actually better for my dry skin, as it has a thicker, richer texture. It gives me medium coverage, enough for brown spots and uneven tone, without having to use a separate concealer for that. I haven't used it for 14 days...read more straight since I don't wear foundation daily, so I can't say if I look younger.:) But I look better with it than without it! I like how they upped the SPF rating to 20 from 15 as well. I wouldn't have known that this formula is more emollient than the one for dry skin if I hadn't read it somewhere. Dry skin formula has talc as one of the main ingredients, which emphasizes my dry skin! I have noticed that the shade I've always used (made sure I got the same color name & number)is a tiny bit pinker in tone, but I compensate for that by mixing a little of another foundation with it. Next time I'll get the next darker shade.

Only good when mixed with ColorStay

THis is by far the silkiest foundation I have ever used, but the staying power only lasts (even with my trusted primers) when I mix it half and half with a Revlon ColorStay foundation. It does tend to turn lighter as you rub it in, so make sure to only sponge it on and no swiping or blending. If you are looking for the radiant glow this will get you there.

Yes

Although I'm still in my early 20's and I don't need to worry about wrinkles yet, I still love this foundation. I have facial eczema and it covers my redness and doesn't dry out my skin. Definitely worth trying

Dewey and pearlescent~

I have been mixing a luminizer with my foundation for years, but this stuff will save you the time. It glides on nicely and a little bit goes a long way, evening out my skin and giving it this gorgeous pinky glow. I haven't been this stoked on a foundation in a long time (it's such a boring staple) but, like, forreal. Buy this ish.

It was okay

This was the first foundation I had ever used, and at the time, I loved it. But thinking back, it actually gave my skin sort of an oily, shiny finish; which I did NOT like. It covered pretty well but faded throughout the day. Overall, this foundation was okay, but it didn't go the extra mile.
