Yesterday, I was in the market for a new foundation. My goals for this product were medium coverage (to hide sun damage from 5 years of living in Florida), a dewy finish (matte makes my skin feel too dry), and a nice light feel. I headed to http://www.icompact.com/make-up-reviews/foundation/ to see what other people liked. Based on the reviews, my first choice was to try Sally Hansen's Fast and Flawless Airbrush makeup, but my Target didn't carry that, so I decided to go with Revlon Age Defying Spa Foundation .
I was surprised by the packaging on this foundation. It comes with an attached brush for application. After struggling to get the product out (because I didn't notice the directions to turn the applicator into the "on" position), I proceeded to put entirely too much product on my face. The brush takes some getting used to. I ultimately needed to use my fingers to blend the foundation into my face. At first, it felt heavy and looked shiny. However it quickly sank into my skin and "mattified", as one might say. It gave the medium coverage that I have been looking for (and was not finding in my Mabelline Dream Matte Mousse or my Lancome Teint Idole). I also love the fact that it contains an SPF 18 WITHOUT using nasty chemical sunscreens. Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are the sunscreen ingredients, which is awesome! The product also contains Vitamin C, but I am skeptical that antioxidants in foundation can do much good.
I haven't given this foundation a thorough road test yet, but so far, I am really pleased. I'll update later to see how it wears in hot weather. As we are Texas, that won't be hard to do!
