Revlon NEARLY NAKED REVIEW

I figured we start with the basics, I bought the Revlon Nearly Naked a year ago in the shade 160 Fresh Beige. I used it during Chicago's hot summer and brutal winter. It's lightweight but you could build it up to a medium coverage. The finish is dewy, so you'll have a healthy glow, blends easily. Smell wise it just has a faint foundation smell, nothing too bad. It does have an SPF of 20 so great for summer time but this means that it will reflect light, for example flash photography but I haven't had this problem.  I don't have much to cover up but I do think that this product does a great job at evening out my skin tone (I am wearing it in the "About this Blogger" post). I think the packaging is sleek and great for travel, does not come with a pump but I don't really mind it, just make sure to start off with a little and then build on it. 

OIL CONTROL: I have oil to combination skin which means that at the center of my forehead, noes and chin I become oily whereas on my cheeks I'm dry.  The foundation was great during the summer but I did have to set it with powder or blot when it got too hot outside, mostly on my nose. During the winter I didn't have a problem with it, it was light enough to make my dry spot feel moisturized. 

LONGEVITY: I would wear this foundation for a course of 10 hours or so (less on other days) So I would be indoors, outdoors, walking, running, talking, eating and everything else, surprisingly the coverage was still there (I did use a primer and powder to set) of course it was not as nice as it was when I first applied it but for 10 hours, I think it worked great. Sometimes I would come home and see my nose and chin a slight different color where the foundation wore off but that was because I would blot with a tissue and touch my chin a lot.  

Over all, I really enjoyed the use of this foundation. They also have a great selection for undertones but they only have 16 shades to choose from which it not bad but could be better.  I would recommend it to everyone and I have to say it's a product I'm tempted to repurchase.

You can tell I enjoyed this product.
