Drugstore Spotlight: Revlon One-Step Complexion Compact

I'm not big on foundations so it is rare when I actually pick one up from the store. I don't like to spend a lot of money on foundations and powders because I use so little of it on myself most of the time but while at CVS, I thought I'd give Revlon's Complexion One-Step compact a try! Retailing at just $13, I smoothed on the foundation (in the medium tan shade) using the sponge applicator it came with. It did a beautiful job of evening my skin tone out as well as not looking or feeling heavy. It's important for me to feel like my skin can breathe and this foundation to powder did a nice job of not feeling like a mask. It blended very easily with my skin and looked very natural on! This cream to powder foundation will give you medium coverage with great staying power. For best results, try buffing it in with a Beauty Blender. A WARNING to my fair skinned honey bees out there: the lightest shade may still be too dark for you, as it does not come in very light shades. Bottom line? With awesome coverage and longwear, this is great for all those looking for a more wallet friendly alternative to Mac's Studio Fix.

  2. I was just looking at this compact at Shoppers yesterday and couldn't quite make out what it was! I had to look closer and read the box .. I was tempted to buy it so thanks for the review! Currently using MAC Studio Fix, and like you said, it's pretty pricey!
