Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation

Hi, everyone!! Today I'll be reviewing the Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation that is still fairly new. I purchased it a couple months ago, and I still frequently use it.

Longevity: I'm going to do something a little different today. I'll call it my "foundation timeline". Let me know if you like it in the comments!

Pre-Foundation

As you can see, my face without foundation has acne, hyperpigmentation, and redness. I personally hate that fact, so I like a medium to full coverage foundation.
If you think my skin looks dewey here, it only gets more oily throughout the day, which causes the foundation to slide and look greasy, so I'm usually looking for a slightly mattifying foundation.

6 AM

The foundation covers the blemishes and discoloration decently. I did have to build it up, but I didn't use a concealer to get the full effect of the coverage of the foundation.

11 AM

After about five hours of no touch ups, the coverage is still decent. You can start to see some of the redness start to peek through. Though you cannot see it in this photo, my nose had started to fade at this point, leaving some blotchiness, but nothing serious.

9 PM

At this point, my acne is poking its way through about 12 layers (no, not really, it was only around seven...I hate oily skin) of foundation dabbed on to it, and the redness is prominent. Because it was dark out, I had to compromise with a yellow tinted lightbulb to ensure image quality. The yellow dulled out a good deal of the irritated coloring. The oil made its way back--I forgot to mention, I was also wearing the BareMinerals pressed powder in translucent--but, I had just exercised and such.




To apply this foundation I use my fingers. I used the shade Ivory, the lightest of the line. I love the way the color matches my skin. Also, it has SPF 20.

I'd rate it 7/10. It could have greater staying power and mattification properties, but otherwise it's pretty good.
