HOW I GOT IT:

I bought the foundation from Al-Fateh in PKR 1100.I got it first in Buff ,but it proved to be very pink based, and a little light for me. So, I returned it and got the foundation in Natural Tan.

Here is the website if you want to see the other available shades. You can also purchase it online from www.just4girls.pk.  

I don't know why but at Al-Fateh you can get only three or four shades.When I visited they had Ivory,Buff and Natural Tan.I had heard so much about the staying power of the base that I just had to buy it.So,I picked the one closest to my skin color.

(I am shade 53 of Bourjois Healthy Mix,54 in 1 2 3 Perfect foundation and Ivory in Tv paint stick.I have fair to  medium complexion with yellow undertones.My skin type is very oily with an irritating tendency to break out). 

MY EXPERIENCE:

I was looking for a liquid,affordable and easily available foundation for a very long time when my sister told me about this new color stay range by Revlon with all of the above mentioned properties.I also learned that it was the recommended foundation for oily skin and also had an amazing staying power.

After hearing all the good things about it I just had to get my hands on it so long story short I bought it.I came home,applied it straight away.

The foundation comes in a glass bottle with a cap.No pumps...sorry.It has a medicinal scent to it.May be because of all those silicones in it.It may be bothersome for some people but it was OK for me.

Consistency is thick.The foundation is very very moisturizing.It blends superbly,just glides on the skin.It takes sometime to set in so gave me ample time to spread on face and blend it easily.It does NOT give a light feeling.It feels heavy on skin like you are wearing some tacky base.Just like TV paint stick.However,the feeling lessens after sometime.

It looks amazingly natural in photos.

The staying power is really G-R-E-A-T.It is literally budge proof even on an oily like myself.The heat of June could not affect this baby.No touch ups are needed for the length of time you wear it no matter for how long.It is a blessing for oily skin.I did experience some gray discoloration after 5-6 hours, but using primer before the base fixed the problem.

My sisters who have combination skin and my mom with dry skin,all like the base and love the way one shade  matches all of them.

All the imperfections disappear and pores are minimized too.It gives an air-brushed look in pictures and in normal indoors light.It is a perfect,affordable Airbrush-in-a-bottle.This foundation IS best for night time use.It melts in your skin and gives a second skin effect.Also It looks good in camera light and pictures.Photos friendly foundation.

Another plus is that it does not cause break outs.Not even a single review I read online said that it did.And I have my own experience to vouch for the fact that it DOES NOT cause break outs at all.

The only bad thing is you can not wear it in day time as it may look made up and fake in natural light..I checked the foundation in daylight(My standard practice).I was a little disappointed.The foundation looked white and artificial.It gave good coverage, but the fake look is too much to adjust to.It looked good in pictures I took of myself, but not in reality.Still I kept on wearing it,expecting the adapting technology to kick in, but after all day of wait it still looked white and fake in natural light.However,this might be because the shade "Natural Tan" is a little pink based,which brightens up skin and work better for neutral skin tones.Basically a more yellow based shade like "Warm Golden" will work better for me.

So,all in all,if you are an oily and want a glamorous,airbrushed look and want to look good in photos,this is THE base for it.Girls with dry skin will love the moisture the other variant of this foundation, made for dry skin,gives.

I am in serious love with this foundation especially for evenings.My only suggestion is that REVLON should introduce more yellow based shades for ASIAN skin tones too.

[UPDATE:The shade "Natural Tan" is a bit dark for me.It would match someone NC 35-40 perhaps,but it makes me look dark.]

RECOMMENDED:

1.IF YOU HAVE OILY/COMBINATION SKIN .
2.If you Want an affordable foundation for night wear.
3.If you want a base with great staying power.
4.If you want air brushed look and you have found your shade match in it.

REPURCHASE:

Yep, yep
