Current Foundation Routine: Revlon Colourstay


I'm super happy with my foundation rountine at the moment so I thought I'd share it with you! 
I'm currently loving the Revlon Colourstay foundation for Normal/Dry skin. This foundation is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G
-Great coverage
-Really great colour
-Light weight feel (something I didn't get with Mac's Studio Fix Foundation)
-Long wearing all for the very resonable price of £12.49...slightly more expensive that a regular drugstore/high street foundation, however the quality is definatly that of a high end one!

On clean, moistourised skin (let your moisturiser set for 5 minutes!) I apply my Revlon Colour Stay foundation. I'm loving buffing this foundation in with my Sam Chapman Real Techniques expert face brush. I love the density of this brush, it blends liquid foundation in seamlessly giving a really flawless finish. I begin stippling the foundation in, then buffing all over my face and neck to make sure it's lovely and blended! 

Finally I finish with a tiny bit of Benefit Watts Up! (another recent splurge!) which I blend on the highest point of my cheek bones, brow bone and down the centre of my nose. This is a cream to powder forumlar do doesn't look or feel cakey, and gives me a really, really pretty glow. It doesn't have any dense peices of glitter in so doesn't look OTT..I really struggled to find a nice highlighter before this, It's more a 'lit from within' rather than a highlight!

    1. Oh me too! Sadly this one was a little too dark for me (silly me for testing it in crap light!) but I could justify replacing it before it was finished because I love that much! Ohh I like that one too! I'd love to check out your blog! Thanks for following!

  6. I used to really like their Whipped one. But so in love with my YSL Touche Eclat foundation right now. It gives a gorgeous finish and glow to the skin. I get so many compliments each time I wear it.

  8. I've not tried this foundation but mine has just been discontinued (one of the worst things that could happen to a girl!) so I'm on the hint for a new one so may try this out :)
