Revolution's Conceal & Define Concealer has taken the world by storm this and I am completely in love with it, its my favourite concealer by a landslide! So when I heard they were bringing out a foundation I knew I had to get my hands on it. I featured his in a haul and gave my first impressions back in November so I've been trying this out for about three months now so I thought it was about time I gave you my thoughts.
This foundation is available from Revolution's website, Beauty Bay or Superdrug and costs just £9.00, which I think is a really good price for a foundation.
This was released in 24 shades initially, but Revolution have now added even more shades, they now have a total of 50 shades, its honestly pretty refreshing that a brand have listened to the customers' requests. I also think that 50 shades is really impressive, especially for a drugstore brand. The foundation shades match the concealer, I have the concealer in C1 so I've picked up the foundation in F1. I think that's pretty handy, if you know your shade in one product you'll be able to find it in the other and this runs across all of Revolutions different foundations and concealers. The concealer in C1 is a hair lighter than the foundation, but I imagine this is so you can highlight your undereyes a little with it.
The bottle has a doefoot applicator which I personally really like because I feel like it gives me a lot of control over how much product I put on my face and I can apply the product directly to my face without having to pump it onto the back of my hand or pour it out of a tube. I've never used a foundation with a doefoot applicator before so I had a bit of trouble the first time I used this because I really didn't know how much to apply. I ended up applying too much and I had a really hard time blending it in, the foundation just sat on top of my skin. I've learned from my mistake there, and I begin with a thin layer which usually gives me a medium coverage and you can apply layers of foundation on top with no problem blending so you can really build this product up to give yourself the coverage that you want out of this foundation.
I did have a few teething problems when I first started using this foundation I was finding that the foundation settled in some areas like on my forehead where I have fine lines, between my brows and either side of my nose. It made these areas look dry to a point of looking crepey. This is not something I've really had with other foundations, but I tried to spend a little extra time blending in these areas it doesn't happen anymore. This is just a foundation that requires a little more care when it comes to blending.
This is definitely a more lightweight feeling foundation which I love. The finish is demi-matte, its matte but not so matte it looks dry or flat which is my perfect finish. I find that because its demi-matte and not heavy feeling that it gives you a skin-like look and feel, which again is something I really love! I've had no problems with it clinging to any patches of dry skin. It also drys down and isn't tacky feeling on the skin which means you don't have to use a tonne of powder to set it.
My favourite thing about this foundation has to be the lasting power. I have combination skin and it gets really oily throughout the day, usually when I start getting oily its game over for my foundation and the look of it completely deteriorates. This foundation definitely lets through oil and if I wanted to keep my face looking matte I would need to re-powder my face once or twice throughout the day. But the difference with this foundation is once I get oily this doesn't break down, like at all. I can wear this for a full day and my foundation looks virtually the same as when I put it on. Its an absolute game changer for me which is why I named this foundation I named this as my favourite foundation in my 2018 Favourites and I'm continuing to love this in 2019. Right now if I were to finish up this bottle I would be running out to pick up another.
