Here's how they work
Revlon Colorstay Full-Cover Foundation, $42.
Humidity is often the reason your makeup separates and looks patchy. No foundation is heat-proof, especially once it hits warm skin. However, opting for a matte, long-lasting finish helps keep your makeup in place in the heat. Packed in a convenient, travel-friendly squeeze tube, Revlon's Full Cover Foundation despite looking and feeling quite thick spreads easily to offer a medium to full coverage. Applied with your fingers and you can get a lightweight, natural-looking result, or layered onto the skin with a sponge or a brush and you can expect full coverage instantly. It has a built-in primer, know as 'Soft-Flex Complex' which are skin-enhancing pigments that blur the look of fine lines. Coming into summer for anyone with slightly oily, or breakout-prone skin this fragrance-free, waterproof foundation is definatly worth a try.
Revlon Colorstay Prep & Protect Primer SPF25, $35.
Revlon's answer to a BB cream is this new Primer, a 3-in-1 beauty solution. Like a beauty balm, it moisturises, and primes leaving a slightly matte finish and sunscreen protection an SPF 25 that won't leave an ashy cast, blending under any makeup (not just the Revlon range) in seconds. Long-wearing and oil-oil free - we've been known to wear this alone on weekends with just a dusting of bronzer and a slick of clear lip gloss.
