Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation comes in a 30 ml glass bottle. It comes in a jar and does not contain a pump or spatula. This kind of packaging make it difficult to pour out the product.  It has SPF 20 on it. 

This is a liquid foundation and has liquidy consistency however it is not as runny as the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation. Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation has no fragrance in it. I used e.l.f. Mineral infused primer on my T-zone to control the shine and oiliness. I used the shade 160 which is a bit pink for my skin tone but I later make it work with a warm toned powder. 

I dotted the foundation on my face and blended with a sponge. It has very sheer coverage on first application. Once the foundation dried out, I reapplied the second layer. As I blended out the product I can see that it does not have much coverage. The redness as blemishes on my skin peek through the foundation even over the second layer. This foundation gave me some tingling feeling once applied on my face. It feels somewhat heavy on the skin and feels uncomfortable. I set it with Maybelline Fit me presses powder with a powder puff sponge, which added some Coverage. 

Wear test:

 This foundation looked pretty nice for the first few hours once I set it with a pressed powder. It started to get oily after around 3 hours. I used a tissue paper to blot my T-zone after which it looked pretty okay but it has lost coverage and the foundation transferred a lot on the paper. While doing this the foundation does transfers on the paper and I can notice my specs did leave marks on the sides of my nose. 

It completely wore off at the end of the day and my skin looked super oily. I will be using this Foundation by mixing up with some of my other favorite Foundation just because I don’t want to waste it. However, I will not be repurchasing it.

Maybelline Fit Me Dewy + Smooth Foundation

Natural Beige (220)

Maybelline Fit Me Foundation is one of the first foundation I ever used. These Fit Me collection was so much in hype when it first launched in the market. It has a wide variety of shade range which was one of the reason it was so much in trend. Maybelline Fit Me foundation has 24 super saturated shades. Fit Me Dewy + Smooth Foundation has very decent price range and are affordable.

Maybelline Fit Me Dewy +Smooth foundation has liquid consistency and easy to apply. You can even apply this with your fingers only. For smoothness you can use it with a beauty sponge or a brush. Using with a sponge I dotted the foundation all over my face and start blending out with the sponge. It does not dry out easily which is good because it will give you more time to work with the product for that flawless blend. It gives you medium coverage on first application.

Once the product dries down you can reapply if you want more coverage. It does not give that cakey mask like feeling even after the second layer. It gives you that sheen on the skin which makes your skin look healthy and hydrated. When applied pressed powder on the t-zone, it absorbs the powder really nicely. The powder does not bunch up or sits on the top of skin. Overall the skin looks healthy and feels comfortable. This foundation tends to look oily the longer you wear especially in the T-one. I used to love this foundation. I stopped using this because I wanted to try other new foundation brands. It is very comfortable and lightweight on the skin making it my favorite go to foundation.
