I loved the Revlon BB Cream and it looks like it has been discontinued. This foundation looks like it might be its replacement for that line. However, there is not much in common between the two products.

Applied with brush
This foundation has a thick consistency and for my first venture with it I used an Eco Tools buffing brush. I also used Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer. I didn't moisturise first and this may have been a mistake. It looks good on the cheeks, on areas of the chin and nose it adheres the least.In the middle of my forehead it looks like it gathers slightly looking thick, dry and cakey.
I did not powder my cheeks there is no way they need it and I applied my blush by Rimmellondon Lasting Finish Soft Colour Blush and the powder applied perfectly. It definitely wears a while and best on my cheeks which are the normal part of my oily/combination skin.
Applied with a BeautyBlender
Once again I primed with the Smashbox primer and my Drunk Elephant B Hydra Intensive Moisturiser, and I applied the foundation with the Beautyblender. I feel it goes on a lot better than the brush. It is still thick but it looks so much better with the sponge. I applied blush and liquid highlighter on top and it worked beautifully. After a few hours, the foundation had worn away on my chin and nose and had that thick cakey look on my forehead just like with the brush application. The cheeks is where it looked best. Under the eyes, if you are over 25 keep it well out of the way of your under eyes, because it is super drying and whatever you do, do not apply any powder there on top of it either!
Either way you apply it, it is not full coverage and the more you apply you will quickly become a dried cakey mess. Also, the SPF coverage is lower than the BB Cream they had previously and I think that they should bring that SPF 20 to a 30 with this product.
You can see above, my freckles are very visible and there is gathering around the upper lip line. Overall, I can't wear this foundation, I am disappointed the previous BB Cream has been removed and that this product is its replacement. I was dedicated to buying that BB Cream but I won't be using this foundation again.
I do not recommend because it doesn't last more than two hours before wearing off and going cakey and generally being unflattering.
