Let me start by saying I am BAD at foundation, like, really bad. I can’t seem to blend it properly or make it look right on my skin. However, I will be taking this into account in my review.
Lets begin with the shades. I am so impressed with the shade range of a £5 foundation. 18 shades is a fantastic range and you can easily see the progression from fair to dark. It doesn’t seem to have any major jumps between the shades. Good job Revolution, you done good!
Now onto the product that I actually purchased. Because I ordered online I decided to get two shades, I was originally going to get three but F3 was out of stock. I’m quite fair, I have what I like to call ‘Welsh skin’ which runs in my Dad’s side of the family which means I have very dark hair but very pale skin. The shades I purchased were F2 and F4, testing them on my face F4 suited my skin tone the most. The texture of the foundation is soft and creamy and it glides onto the skin when applying it. I tried blending out both with a beauty sponge and a brush and both worked well. I found the sponge gave more of a sheer coverage as it sucked up some of the extra product. Coverage overall was light to medium but was buildable in area’s that needed it. I have issues with very rosy cheeks and adding more product definitely helped calm that redness.
Now the downfalls. I feel like this may have been more of issue with my lack of skill or lazy af skin routine but I found the foundation tended to stick to, and emphasise, my more dry area’s. Around my T-zone especially I looked a bit flaky. Please keep in mind, though, this could just be my poor application and not everyone will have these issues. I feel like exfoliating and moisturising well (and possibly having younger skin) would help with these issues.
Because of how rarely I wear foundation I usually feel like I can feel it on my skin no matter how sheer the coverage but this felt like nothing. I usually complain a lot about feeling foundation ‘in my pores’ but I felt like my skin could still breathe with this on. I think this was due to the soft and light consistency of the product itself.
I haven’t done a day wear test yet but I will report back on how it wears throughout the day once I get better at applying it.

All in all I give this a 7/10 so far.
A good product with a fantastic shade range, however, probably not best for those who suffer with dry or flaky skin as it seems to emphasise the issue.
