REVLONIlluminance Skin-Caring Liquid Foundation, Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrating and Nourishing Formula with Medium Coverage, 317 Tan Sand, 1 fl oz

This is one of my favorite drug store foundations. It gives a light to medium coverage, but is buildable if you want more. The finish is glowy and natural. It doesn't get oily and seems to last most of the day on my skin. It is important to properly hydrate the skin before applying or it will settle into fine lines. I have found a brush application to be best for this foundation. A little goes a long ways. I love the pump. One to two pumps is perfect. I like that the pump keeps me from using too much and keeps the bottle clean from the messiness often found in other brands. The price is great! One thing to be aware of, once you find a good color match, make note of the number you are using. Amazon lists it by color "name". Once you click on the name, you will see the number. That can be confusing.

I don't usually review until I've used product for @6 weeks. But I'll give initial impression now. First:. Amazon has the best price by far. Even though Revlon provided colors and references for cool-neutral-warm tones, it was difficult for me to choose a color. I'm definitely a "cool". But options are seriously scarce. I chose way wrong. So I tried again with a lighter, "neutral" color. Light Beige is perfect for my fair skin. After I apply my essence and moisturizer, I use 1 pump and dot it over my face. Consistency is a bit thinner than I'm used to in a foundation; more like a serum. I've used a brush, sponge and my fingers. For me, brush applied this best. A light layer dries down better and leaves no streaks. It's a light-medium coverage. I need just a little more on my cheeks where my texture and sun damage show (I'm 73-y/o with very dry skin). Blends beautifully. I let it set for 1 minute before continuing with blush and powder. Since I do use a finishing powder, it really lasts well. Initial impression is good. Love the squalene and hyaluronic acid ingredients. Skin needs all the help it can get. My skin didn't get that dry, tight feeling in the afternoon that I normally get with my other foundation. That surprised me.I'll let you know after a couple of months if I still love it. BTW... Gave the darker shade to a friend.Update 5 months: lasts 6 hrs with a little touch-up needed on my cheeks where I have age/sun spots. I don't do strenuous exercise or hang outside in humid or hot weather. I'm pretty sure those conditions would warrant some help from my powder compact. Mostly what I notice is that there's no dry feeling. I do use facial mists a few times thru the day. Again... 73-y/o dry skin. But that's just my routine. I'm officially saying this is great foundation.1 yr:. Love this serum foundation. You have to give it time to dry down; just as you would a serum. If you don't wait, you'll hate it. My skin isn't dry feeling with this. Lasts all day with a little retouch. My skin looks a little blotchy after a few hours when I use powder with this. I've let up on the powder. Remember my old age... and think of this as skincare foundation.

It is a great daily foundation for a lighter look/feel but probably not the best for going out or doing anything where you will get sweaty. I will say, I hate how it feels when it's wet and I first put it on, kind of feels like sticky sunscreen, but it does dry quickly and then it feels fine! So, if you have sensory issues be warned, it might be not super enjoyable to apply for like the 30 seconds it takes to blend but I do think it is worth it. Good price and it looks super natural and glowy.

I watch an influencer on social media that suggested this product for aging skin. I'm 38 and just wanting to stay ahead of the game on not only my skincare but also my makeup. I've learned that the key to a good makeup look is not only quality products but just as important is the prep work. I hydrate with a couple of serums before applying this foundation and it goes on smoothly and evenly. You can apply with a brush or with your fingers. I find the brush gives a more concentrated look while my skin gives a light coverage. I like that this has Squalane and HA so it's not only makeup but also skincare in one. If I'm going to be putting something on my face I want it to benefit it. The foundation is build-able and lasts all day. The price point is great compared to other foundations of similar quality. I was worried about finding my correct shade but the images of reference really helped and amazingly I chose the right shade the first time! For the price, I couldn't be happier. Feels light and comfortable on my skin, build-able, and lasts all day.

Colored is a bit off but it's a great foundation. Too dark for me I decided to just go in store and buy my right color.

Just the right shade and the perfect covering for little imperfections. The foundation lasts all day, and gives me a youthful look.

This is one of my favorite foundations that was recommended on YouTube. It’s under $10 and it goes on smooth and it covers my pale complexion and gives it a nice natural look. I don’t see blobs of make up with anywhere. It just looks so natural. Also stays on for a long time.I would say I like it just as well if not better than my $40 Foundation

This has been a favorite for about a year now. The coverage is great and I love that it has skincare in it.
