Hello Beauties I hope you are all well :)
This is going to be a somewhat different review today :)
You all know at this stage that I have tried alot of Makeup Revolutions product and loved each and every last one of them but of course they can not be all that perfect can they? I mean they are a new brand that has hit it off with all of us beauty addicts straight away :) Of course there has to be some products that we may not like with any brand but to be honest up until now Makeup Revolution hasnt disappointed me at all
I am sure you may have guessed it my now that this is the product that has disappointed me.
Now this has in no way put me off the brand as I will continue to purchase anything new from them they are amazing and I cant take that away from them :)
Of course Makeup Revolution takes their customers feedback seriously and I know that they would want to hear everyone honest opinions .
I have been asked on a number of occasions have I tried the foundation by makeup revolution yet so I thought I may as well tell you all at once what I think :)
So let me tell you a little about it first :)
Makeup Revolution state: This will be Your ONE Foundation. ONE shade for everyone Using Revolutionary fusion technology The ONE Foundation adapts to your skin tone and texture to give a flawless finish. Due to its liquid formula, it is Easily build-able and applied The ONE Foundation gives full coverage resulting in a matte finish. Available in 16 shades to suit every skin tones.
The foundation costs £4 each. The packaging is alot different to any normal foundation I have used. In fact the packaging looks alot like the Macs Face and Body foundation :)
The bottle is alot smaller than Macs F&B though as you will see below
The bottle has a twist lid and a nozzle with a a tiny peep hole on top. The peep hole would remind you of a bottle of ear drops or eye drops.
It says on the box that you should shake the bottle before using the foundation so that is what I did. I shook vigorously and then applied a drop to the back of my hand. I was very surprised to see a very watery. I was puzzled as it says that this foundation is full coverage which means it should be thicker. This foundation was so watery I found even if I tilted my hand a tiny bit it ran everywhere. The picture below shows how fast it runs and this is within about 3 seconds
Putting aside the watery consistancy I gave it the benefit of the doubt and applied a layer on my face. First of all the shade was so wrong for me as it was more on the orange side than neutral or yellow which is what I normally go for. The shade I chose was shade 5 which I thought might be close. Putting aside the wrong shade I wanted to see what the coverage was like and after 1 layer I can safely say I covered nothing for me. I have freckles, pigmentation, a mole and large pores on my face and it covered none of this.
So once the 1st layer set I applied another and the ame thing happened my freckles and pigmentation peeped through but there was a little more coverage there it was more light to medium.
here is an example of the pigmentation on my arm.
To see if the coverage would build up any more I tried a 3rd layer and Even though there was 3 layers on my face it only gave the most.....medium coverage. I wasnt prepared to apply another layer to be honest as 3 was way to much as it was and I was looking more and more like one of mr wonka's oomp loompa lol
I have tried every different way to apply this to my face be it with my hands, a flat topped kabuki brush, a sponge etc and I get the same coverage each time.
So as you can tell this is not a foundation I will be repurchasing. I think this foundation might suit someone who does not want much coverage. I think this could pass as a tinted moisturiser for people with oily skin
Its a real pity that this didnt work out for me. Did you try this yet? What's you thoughts on it :)
Until next time

I really want to try this brand!
I like this I let it sit on my hand for a few seconds it makes it a bit tacky so it works better to transfer to the face and blend in. It's not full coverage but I find the right shade really build able http://www.bloglovin.com/blogs/all-things-kerri-11524969
I ave not tried any of their Foundations or concealers. I'm always a Little hesitant of Foundations from such an affordable brand, I break out from a lot of cheap Foundations. But I was actually going to try this, because I've been loving pretty much everything else from them. I may just skip it now though.
Thanks for the review.

I love honest revieews. I was curious aobut this foundation mainly because it looks so much like face & body (which breaks me out) . i love the coverage and effect of the mac one so I would have tried the MR one as well, but I won't now I guess.

Such a shame that you had to apply so much to get that coverage, though it looks nice! I find that thin foundation like that looks terrible around my nose, sinks into my pores and I ALWAYS have brush marks on my nose.. Meh!

I really hate when products let you down! This does seem like a very light to medium coverage - which is fine if that is what they claim. What a shame!

Thanks for this review. I wanted to buy it but it would be waste of money :(
Thank you so much for sharing !! My tastes are basically identical to yours so thankfully I dont have to try it too haha x
Such a shame this didn't work for you, but it does seem unusually watery for a full coverage foundation!
I just put in my first order last week so I can't wait for it to arrive! Mainly ordered shadow palettes though!
Great review, Nina! It sounds much too watery for me, I like a thicker coverage. I had a similar issue with one of the NYC foundations, still minimal coverage after 3 layers. Nobody has time to wait for layers to dry!! I am excited to try Makeup Revolution though, I just received my first order today, got a blush and some lipsticks x
Shame it didn't work out for you! I do like to wear foundations with lighter coverage on summer time. Thanks for the review! x

Im curious as to whether or not this will work for me, it is such a bargain price and ive been so impressed with everything else I have tried x
Makeup Revolution are so popular right now on all the blogs I read. I have for obvious reasons, never used any of their products.
I've a long list of products that I want to try out from Makeup Revolution and they keep on adding whimsical products :( I'm more intrigued to try out their matte perfection foundation x
Oh wow! That sucks! I hate getting foundation that doesn't provide good coverage.
