    Pretty good

    This is not my favourite foundation, but overall I liked it and think it (mostly) delivered on what it promised. My two favourite things about it are the included SPF and the shade. Technically, we're supposed to wear SPF everyday to protect our skin, even when it's not sunny, but I rarely do, so having a low SPF added means that my skin is protected all year round and I'm a big fan of that.

    The shade is spot on. I'm ghost-pale and often the palest shade in a collection (ivory) is too dark and often too yellow-hued to suit my skin. I have cool undertones in my skin and this is the perfect shade, not too dark or too 'golden'.

    This is a medium-coverage foundation, but I was a little disappointed as I felt it covered flaws more at the rate of a 'light' foundation, but still felt heavy and thick like a medium-coverage. I prefer the light feeling and fluidity of a light foundation if it isn't going to cover more. It still did a good job covering the flaws, but I'd expect more from a medium coverage. I found it was quite thick and hard to blend compared to a light coverage foundation.

    I do have problems with my skin (which is combination and I wouldn't consider dry) suddenly showing up 'peely' parts after applying foundation. Some foundations are really bad with this, and some not so much and I found this was in the middle. Exfoliating beforehand definitely helps with this, but I think the thickness of this foundation definitely showed up some of the poor skin quality. It was still a step-up from many other foundations I've tried though.

    Despite some things I disliked, overall I'm happy with this foundation, although I prefer a lighter coverage in general, I felt the staying power and colour where both pretty good in this and I like the addition of SPF.

    great

    great drugstore foundation that gives a great coverage . Stays on for a long period of time if you put some setting powder. Usually with 2 pumps I can get my whole face covered . I love that there's a little spf in it which is great for the sunny days.

    Probably the best drugstore option for foundation - good coverage and doesn't get overly oily throughout the day. Love it!

    I have been using this foundation for about 3 years now and I always come back to it because it just works so great for me.I don't like using it as a foundation all over my face as I find it to be way too thick and it just feels gross and heavy on my face.What I do is I use it more as a concealer and just use it on my blemishes and problem areas and blend it in. I also sometimes mix it with my l'oreal true match foundation and I find it's the perfect combination because the l'oreal true match is very runny so it cancels out the thickness of the revlon foundation.I will continue to purchase this foundation.
    I also found that it is MUCH cheaper in the states, it is only around 10$ vs 15-20$ here in canada.

    I was looking for a foundation that would stand up to a full day of wear without coming off. This foundation did the trick! I apply it over primer with a wedge sponge. I find it easy to layer, and very buildable in the places where I want more coverage. It looks quite natural, not chalky, and blends very well.

    This foundation is very matte, so anyone looking for a dewy glow should probably look elsewhere or apply something shimmery over top.

    It does a good job of controlling oil and shine, though it does slide off a bit if my skin is particularly oily.
