Revlon Colorstay Full Cover Foundation review

I got a box-full of Revlon new makeup items late last year and I've played around with 90% of them and used them a lot on my videos!  This is one product that I left behind because I felt this won't work for my skin.  Well, at the back of my head, I would use this as a concealer or maybe give it away?

During lockdown, I have ENOUGH time to finally play with make up and open for mistakes and makeup mishaps!  I tested this out on a super HOT day with a full packed schedule ahead.  

Guess what?  I was surprised --- in a very good way!  Are you ready to read more about this newest medium to full coverage FOUNDATION from Revlon?  

I bet you are!  Keep scrolling darling!

Revlon says ---

Full, matte coverage without any of the typical heaviness. This full-cover foundation legit feels lightweight—all day, and all night, long.

• Wears for up to 24 hours: This formula is even heat- and sweat-resistant!
• Throw out any pancake-makeup notions—our light, mousse-like, full-coverage foundation is never cakey.
• The non-heavy matte finish goes on smoothly and blends seamlessly
• And our long-wearing foundation comes in a tube for easy, on-the-go applications!
• Available in 16 shades

AMW says --- 
Pros

• Packaging.  Love the tube!  Easy to use!
• Coverage - versatile as you can adjust from light, medium to medium full!
• Texture is smooth and lightweight.
• Does not feel tight on dry/normal skin.
• Works for ALL skintypes.
• No heavy feel and my skin looks fresh and demi-matte!  
• My skin does not oil up the whole day!  
• The makeup does not budge or move, if you have oily skin, it may move a bit but not as much compared to other liquid foundations.
• Works as concealer too! 

Cons

• Scent.  There is a weird tube-like scent.
• Shades - shades are tricky because they tend to give out a bit of a white cast or "change in color" and I am NOT acidic.  

Overall
A great Full Coverage foundation that works for our weather.  I love how lightweight and non-sticky this product is and how my skin looks even and fresh the whole day even without retouch and setting product.

How to Use Innisfree My Concealers (Wide Cover and Spot Cover)

Concealing, a makeup step that I have vowed to master after my Make Up Schooling.  It is one of the most difficult step especially when I do bridal makeup!  The concealer has to be strong enough TO COVER EVERYTHING yet, it has to be "subtle" enough to not be seen especially on Hi-Def Cameras and Videos.

After constant practice, I am proud to say, I have mastered the concealing technique and knowing the texture of your concealer that fits your flaws is the best advice I can give you for now!

Since it is lockdown, maybe you can whip out your concealers and practice concealing?  

One of my favorite "friendly-to-your-pocket" yet it "works-on-a-professional level" brand is from Innisfree.  Let's start with 2 of their star concealers in Spot Cover and Wide Cover.

Here's my half face version for you to see how subtle it looks and natural - looks like I'm not wearing makeup at all right? (Please NOD ?  :P)

Let's talk about Innisfree My Concealer Spot Cover, this comes in a pot (like a gel liner) with a free spot cover brush!

The My Concealer Wide Cover is my favorite out of the 2, will share more why later but this comes in a tube with huge doe foot applicator! 

dear Klairs Creamy & Natural Fit Concealer Review

I have been wanting to try this concealer for quite some time and I got this from Althea a couple of months ago and realized I can find this cheaper at BeautyMNL!  Too late for me but not for you!  Yes, this is priced affordably at Php584.00 at BeautyMNL (good while supplies last) while I got this for Php920.00 at Althea!  So yes, that's a huge tip for you if you wanted to purchase one yourself.

Now let me get down to business.  Is this worth the price I paid for?  Is this different from other affordable concealers I've tried in the past?

A comforting concealer that nourishes skin as it perfects your look
Formulated with natural ingredients; hydrates and soothes while effectively camouflaging imperfections; perfectly covers large pores, blemishes, redness, and dark circles; creamy formula smoothly blends onto skin; irritation-free formula leaves a natural finish
All-around excellent coverage for sensitive skin

I was drawn to the packaging, yes, I've always been a fan of concealers housed in a liquid lipstick type of packaging with a doe foot applicator, in my opinion, this is the best packaging for concealers.  I like it that I don't have to dip my fingers in a pot or have the need to use a separate brush to blend out the product.  

So dear Klairs came up with a Creamy & Natural Fit Concealer and I got myself a shade Natural from checking out online swatches and so far, it was a good decision.

the SAEM Cover Perfection Pot Concealer Review

I bought a couple of the SAEM items on Althea way before they arrived our shores!  One of the product I love from the brand (which I repurchased so many times) is the SAEM Perfection Tip Concealer. 

Because I get impressed "by brand", I tend to go back and purchase more items from the brand and see if they earn another thumbs up from me!

the SAEM Cover Perfection Pot Concealer

Php200.00 (at Althea)

Available in 01 Clear Beige and 02 Rich Beige

Available at: the SAEM stores locally and also available at Althea website

 Blemishes, dark spots, and panda eyes aren't on our list to flaunt 'em just because we got 'em. The Saem's Cover Perfection Pot Concealer is a balm type concealer that gives full coverage for even the peskiest of spots and keeps them hidden all day long thanks to its long-wearing formula. It'll keep those blemishes under wraps until you're ready to take your makeup off at the end of the day.

Nature Republic Botanical Cream Concealer Review

"Ang Fresh mo naman!"

"Di naman halatang kulang ka sa tulog!"

Friends, CONCEALER LANG YAN!

I stick to my phrase, the right concealer can make you look FRESH and YOUNGER than your real age!  *laughs*

Check out how much concealer I apply!  And check out my 'excess baggage' on the other eye.

As I was browsing through my favorite K-beauty makeup and skincare site Althea, I always go to the concealer section because it is indeed one of my most used makeup item!   I chanced upon an inexpensive concealer from Nature Republic so I immediately Add to Cart and the rest was history!  

Nature Republic Botanical Cream Concealer

Php390.00

Available at: Althea

Shades: #21 Light Beige and #23 Vanilla Natural

Why I'm In LOVE with this Concealer!

Can you spot the difference?

Eyes lifted, undereye darkness diminished.  And the best part is, this concealer costs Php200.00 only and I purchased this online and it gets shipped straight to my doorstep!  

This concealer arrived together with the rest of my #AltheaMakeup and yet, this won a lot of votes from AMW friens for a full blown review when I tried this on IG stories for the first time.

There are a total of 4 shades to try, my perfect shade would be the 3rd shade called Honey.

Spots, panda eyes and other blemishes raining on your parade? Smooth over and cover them up with Althea's Flawless Creamy Concealer, a pigmented, blendable concealer that'll whisk them all away! This buildable formula is made with Aquaxyl to moisturize and improve the overall health of the skin, while its long-wearing properties ensure it stays on your face all day. You'll be looking and feeling great in no time! 

SilkyGirl Quick Fix Care Concealer Review

Concealing correctly - a key to a perfect-looking skin without piling too much!  

For someone who isn't getting any younger, you'll see that my choice of makeup gets lesser and lesser by the day!  

I've done so many Get Ready with Me on AMW IG TV and you'll see that I almost can't live without concealers nowadays!  I can say bye bye to foundation but NOT concealers.

I've tried so many concealers and I don't discriminate based from their price points!  I am always on a lookout for good ones no matter what the price tag is!

I recently tried SilkyGirl Quick Fix Care Concealer and this is included in my inexpensive yet effective concealer list.

 

The concealer is straightforward, it says "Care Concealer" because of the added benefits in the ingredients.  Let me be judgmental for a moment and talk about the packaging!  In ALL cream or liquid concealers, I like them in doe-foot applicator-type of packaging - I've said that so many times and Stila Lipgloss didn't do well on me because for the same fact that the packging is similar to this one from SilkyGirl.

I dislike the "click click" pen type packaging and I dislike the fact that the brush is left with "old concealer" after every use.  I had to wipe them off with a makeup remover wipes every single time I use the product which I feel isn't necessary for other concealer brands! 

 For a new product, you need to click approximately 40-50 times before you start to see the product come out.  Once it comes out, the next clicks would be easier. 

Innisfree Smart Drawing Color Correcting Review

When Innisfree opened it's first store in Manila, I did not go crazy shopping as I knew the store stays for good!  But, I have a list on top of my head on what to get and one of them is "concealer".

I went ahead to ask the SA to take me to the concealer area and she took me to an area that confuses me a bit, I was given the option to choose from wide array of colors from the Smart Drawing Color Correcting Line.

In this line, there are a total of 18 shades - not all are for concealing and correcting but it also includes strobing, contouring, foundation and blusher.

Okay, I'm sure you'll get overwhelmed as well so don't be afraid to ask questions and talk to the friendly SAs, they are well-trained and they obviously knew what they are talking about.

Now back to my purchase, I picked 01 Apricot Peach because I always conceal my undereye dark circles, peach is a great color correcting shade to lighten up that area.

Half face test - applied alone!

The Body Shop Matte Clay Full Coverage Concealer Review

I love The Body Shop for their skincare and makeup.  Their makeup has always been on a safe and "for daily" side.  As a professional Makeup Artist, I wouldn't consider this brand for my work until recently.

It started with their Nude Cushion Foundations, then the arrival of the Vegan Brushes which works so well!  Then the Matte Clay Skin Clarifying Foundation sealed the deal!

Then this little, tiny pot landed my desk one day and I knew that the brand really "UP" their game!  This concealer is game changing for the brand because it is really good!

Jordana Complete Cover Maximum Coverage 2-in-1 Concealer Foundation Review

I've had this Jordana Complete Cover Maximum Coverage 2-in-1 Concealer Foundation for quite some time but I didn't get around to use it a lot especially since I have been using Cushion Foundation mostly.  But on and off, I've been using this product at least once a week for the past 6 months, took me awhile, but I'm finally ready to share my thoughts.

Real Stay Concealer for the New Year!

How does one test a concealer to know if it works?

Strip off all your makeup and do the half-face test, step back, check your reflection and you go about your day and see if you still have a "Half-Face Difference" by the time you're ready to remove your makeup.

My method worked, although I usually do that when I don't go out because I'd probably look like some crazy Tita on-the-loose!

Before 2017 ended, I was able to rush another concealer review because I have been using up such makeup product so fast I can't deny that my bags are getting darker every single day!  The Banila Co Cover10 Real Stay Concealer caught my full attention when I visited their store at Robinsons Place Ermita, I immediately tested and used this product and came into a conclusion that this concealer ROCKS!

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Dark Circles Eraser Concealer

So the Saga for Concealers continue....and I got my hands on the most coveted concealer from the Beauty Blogging community!  The Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Dark Circles Eraser Concealer!  I've seen Beauty YouTuber (both localand international) raving about this!  So when I learned this is FINALLY available in the Philippines, I got so excited, moved all the concealers I've been using aside and tested this for almost a month!  1 week in Korea and the rest of the days here.

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Dark Circles Eraser Concealer

This concealer for dark circles and fine lines instantly creates a radiant, refreshed looking eye area. Infused with goji berry and Haloxyl™. Packaging may vary, what you receive may not be what is reflected on site.

You have to "twist" the collar of the concealer in the direction of arrows until you see the concealer visible on sponge!  It took me approximately 10-15 twists.  Not bad!

Make Up For Ever Full Cover Extreme Camouflage Cream Review

I recently was drawn to the brand Make Up For Ever (again) after using their Ultra HD Foundation, I mostly use the foundation itself without concealer but when they launched their online shopping site, I went ahead and grabbed their Full Cover Extreme Camouflage Cream which has been earning raves from fellow Beauty Bloggers worldwide.

A Concealer For the Dry Undereye Area

There are days when you wake up and look into the mirror and wished you have an "eraser" to erase all your skin troubles away?

I felt that the most for the past 2 weeks especially since I got really sick.  I've been taking medications and my skin is acting up.  Face literally peeling from dryness and as much as I hav my favorite concealers on-hand, some of them just enhance the dryness even more!

Good thing I remembered I own Benefit's Boi-ing Hydrating Concealer and I immediately used it for the full 2 weeks and it has been wonderful to me.

 Box is so cute, look literally like an eraser!

Inside, you have a cute twist-up packaging housed in a Benefit Pink Case.

Boi-ing Hydrating Concealer reminds me so much of Fake Up but I love the packaging of this one better.  It comes in 3 shades --- 01 Light, 02 Light Medium and 03 Medium.

 

I picked the middle shade, Light Medium which is 02.

Benefit Boi-ing Hydrating Concealer Says ---

"With the same hydrating formula as Benefit’s Fakeup Concealer, the Boi-ing Hydrating Concealer hides dark circles, while it visibly smooths the look of fine lines. This concealer stick is infused with vitamin E and apple seed extract to keep your skin hydrated for up to six hours while leaving a natural-looking, sheer finish. "

Benefit Boi-ing Airbrush Concealer Review

Benefit recently introduced the members of the Boi-ing Family and I am one happy BeneGal because I use concealer on a daily basis I can actually review a whole line of concealers from various brands in no time #TrueStory .

After having my makeup "refreshed" by one of the Benefit SA at Robinsons Magnolia using the new Boi-ing Airbrush Concealer, I was sold!  

The NEW Boi-ing family is housed in an even prettier packaging!  Reminds me so much of gradeschool, pinks, eraser-like packaging .... so youthful and cheery!

Benefit Boi-ing Airbrush Concealer says ---

Unevenness? Fine lines? Undereye circles? Forget filters…just apply boi-ing airbrush concealer. It’s your “real-life retouch!” This soft-focus, lightweight concealer covers imperfections all over the face with a flawless finish that’s virtually undetectable.

Tony Moly Facetone Cover FIX Concealer Review

I remember seeing the whole Facetone Cover Fix Line at Tony Moly branch at Lucky Chinatown.  "I want them all!" is what I remembered telling myself but I've decided to pick the Facetone Cover Fix Concealer (Php378.00) instead because I use up concealer more often than foundations!

Housed in quite a large tube considering this is just a concealer, it actually has 20g worth of Concealer and loving the tube packaging!

According to the SA, it comes in 2 shades: W01 Vanilla Beige and W02 Natural Beige.  Unfortunately, the shade I'm sure that would match me (Natural Beige) is out of stock and I can't seem to wait any longer, I went ahead to pick Vanilla Beige and crossed my fingers and toes, hoping this would work!

Housed in a squeeze-type tube with a sharp tip!  I am liking the packaging already!  Now, pushing the "Formal" look aside (almost like a medication from a drugstore) design, I am definitely ready to test this out because I was told this is a high coverage concealer and I get full pigmentation in just a little dot!

Tony Moly Says ---

A creamy, full-coverage concealer that won't 

ever crease, flake or leave you wanting more.

Essence Camouflage Cream Concealer Review

So I am finishing up concealer after concealers!  I realize, I am turning to be like my big sister (Hi Sister!)  She can't live without concealer and I am starting to understand how she feels!  (All thanks to late night jobs and waking up early morning for Kyle's school!)

That's why when I saw the Essence Camouflage Cream Concealer, I knew I had to pick this up especially since the shade seems exactly what I need!

It comes with a small compact that contains 2 shades of concealer.  The shade I got is called 10 Natural Beige and it comes with a concealer that has more orange base and a lighter version of that on the other side.

Essence Camouflage Cream Concealer says ---

• Very high coverage of skin imperfections and dark circles
• shades to perfectly match every skin tone
