Buyers are not afraid of the average price category of foundation from Revlon. The American manufacturer compensates for the considerable cost of its products with numerous advantages, which are evidenced by real consumer reviews. Here are some excerpts from them:

• no more unpleasant freckles and ridicule over them;
• skin fell head over heels in love with him;

Speaking about the cons, you need to understand that they appear only when the client could not choose the right shade, shape and type of foundation, because for each consumer and case they should be different. To be among the loyal fans of Revlon, you need to thoroughly master the skill of choosing a tinting cream.

The first step is to determine your own skin type and where you purchased the foundation. If the skin is prone to shine and acne, then it is most likely oily skin. If it is flaky and needs moisturizing, it is dry. Separately, you should choose a remedy for a mature skin type - with wrinkles. As for the place of purchase, in Russia the sale of cosmetic products from Revlon is most established in the L'Etoile chain of stores - both online and at stationary points of sale.

The next step in the selection is to determine individual preferences regarding the shape of the foundation:

• liquid cream - Easiest to apply, blending perfectly with skin tone. Can be used for any skin type. Cons: inconvenient to carry and use (you need to wash your hands after use).
• Compact cream powder - convenient in the "field" conditions, but its presence is more noticeable on your skin. It differs in a simple application procedure, but it is not recommended at all for oily skin.
• Powder - its main function is to remove oily sheen, but it can clog pores, wrinkles, as well as flaky areas of dry and aging skin.

Having decided on the shape of the foundation, the buyer should focus on what effect he wants to achieve: a flawless appearance, perfect masking of problem skin or light makeup with a natural effect.

Choosing the right option, you will have to decide what will be better - dullness or radiance. The radiant tone provides the face with freshness and hydration, revitalizing dry and mature skin. For oily skin, the result will be completely different - brilliantly oily. The ideal choice for such a face is a foundation with a matte effect. Its purpose is to create velvety and perfectly even skin color. Both options are suitable for owners of normal skin.

The selection of the perfect match for skin color requires knowledge of the following designations of tonal shades:

• "Light" - light;
• "Light Medium" - medium light;
• "Medium" - medium;
• "Medium Deep" - medium deep;
• "Deep" - deep.

Please note that for some tools a wider color palette has been created:

• "Colorstay" - from 24 to 35 (beige alone has as many as 5 tones, but the most popular is often No. 150);
• "Age Defying" - 12 (from golden to light beige);
• "New Complexion" - 6;
• "PhotoReady" - 12 (most popular: "Natural Beige" and "Nude").

That is why it is convenient to choose them by comparing the color with the tone of your own neck.Some fashionistas advise applying a corrective agent on the wrist when choosing a tone. Experts categorically do not recommend doing this, because in this area the skin has a different color and texture from the face.

To compare the purchased product with the neck area, it is enough to have a mirror in front of your eyes. If the shades match, you can safely take and write down the name of the tone so as not to forget it during subsequent purchases.

Realizing that no one is immune from the wrong choice, we must remember that cosmetics, unfortunately, cannot be returned. If the buyer doubts which shade of the two she likes is better, then experts recommend leaning in favor of the darker one. It tends to give the face a warmer tone, which is much more attractive than a mask, which is often the result of applying a lighter foundation.

In addition, you need to remember about your own age and even seasonal changes. You should never choose tinting cosmetics for the future - the choice should be made only for the current state of the skin.

When choosing a foundation from Revlon, you should also not hope for the appearance of swarthyness or snow-whiteness, because even such high-quality corrective cosmetics are not intended to change the tone of the skin.

Taking into account all the above recommendations for the competent choice of foundation from Revlon, the buyer will be able to provide herself with the most suitable makeup product, but the unsurpassed appearance is still far away. To do this, she must also skillfully use the purchased cosmetics.

Revlon foundation is an indispensable makeup tool, its use is not associated with any difficulties, but some nuances still need to be taken into account:

• The agent is applied only to the washed and dried surface.
• For light and medium correction, cosmetics should be distributed on the face in the thinnest layer, making circular movements and trying to ensure that the product cannot be seen on the face.
• For application, you can use both your finger and a special brush or sponge. Moreover, experts in the field of make-up prefer a brush - with it the most inconspicuous “fusion” of the product with the complexion is obtained.
• So that the transition from the tonal base to the natural skin tone is not too conspicuous, it should be applied not only on the face, but also on the neck.

• If the cream has a too liquid consistency or is difficult to apply, it is better to use it in tandem with powder.
• To prevent wasteful spending, when squeezing it is necessary to use a special dispenser, which is equipped with American brand cosmetics.
• In some cases, it is advisable to use a spot foundation to eliminate minor imperfections and preserve the original naturalness of the skin.

By following all the above recommendations, Revlon foundation users will provide themselves with exactly the 100% result they dreamed of - an unsurpassed appearance that was once the privilege of Hollywood stars.
