Makeup

Face

I enjoyed using the the matte effect foundation by Makeup Revolution all year due to the natural coverage it provided and the light formula

I also liked the pro base primer by MUA

Marshmallowby MUA  still remains my favorite blush this year

Lips

This year I embraced the nude lips trend. most of the lipsticks I purchased were either mlbb or nude shade

My favorite liplner has to be by essence as it can be worn alone or under any lipstick/ lipgloss (read review here)

For lipsticks in the flesh by wet n wild, treat by makeup revolution and rendezvousby MUA were the most worn lipsticks

Makeup revolution: the matte effect foundation

Shade; ivory

Quantity:25ml

Price: 350 pkr

Its quite a task to find a perfect match for your skin when purchasing a pressed powder concealer or foundation and even more hard when purchasing it from an online store because sometimes they don’t have the swatch available or the lightening is terrible I am sure some of you might have bought a product which is either too light for your skin or too dark ( I went through this experience one)

So I was a bit doubtful when purchasing this foundation since it had too options for fair skin one in Cool ivory and the other in shade ivory

After a long mental debate I trusted my instincts and bough this shade (ivory) and was quite happy when it matched my skin color (see always trust your instinct)

This should have been named as a tinted moisturizer or a cc cream due to its hydrating properties and sheer coverage

About the packaging;

There is nothing much to tell about it. The small rectangular tube is squeezable has a somewhat secure black cap at the end. The product comes out from a tiny nozzle

About the product

Let me clear one thing this foundation is not matte at all its quite sheer and gives a dewy finish

The formula is quite light in weight and is buildable it does not has any shimmer particles in it

My opinion

I don’t wear heavy coverage foundations or pressed powder mainly due to the reason that I have oily skin so I look out for products which allow my skin to breathe plus I don t have many pimples or acne so sheer to medium coverage  works best for me plus I do have concealer to  cover my dark circles

I wore this on my skin for a good 8 hrs. when I was traveling from one city to another. My skin did got shiny after 4 hrs. which I blotted with a tissue. Surprisingly the product did not transfer on the tissue which is a good thing. I also didn’t experience any break outs

This may not be a good foundation for oily skin due to its dewy finish but  is pretty good for dry skin my mom wears this every day to give herself an even skin tone
