I haven't taken pictures of swatches of this because it just looked terrible on my skin, and I didn't really want to put a terrible picture of my face up like that :P
My Thoughts
On first application is applies very fluidly, it's quite a thick foundation but blends in well. You certainly don't need a lot of it as a little goes a long way. As for coverage, I would say it's medium/heavy. The scent is ok, nothing special.What I didn't like is how this foundation found any dry skin on my face and clung to it, emphasising it. The foundation shifted and melted during the day and cracked a lot over any fine lines which meant it needed to be blended back in, which would have been fine, but when I touched it to blend it back in, it pretty much wiped the foundation off my face leaving a patch of skin visible. It kind of reminds me of Double Wear in that way, which is a foundation I hated.
All in all, I was really disappointed by it, I just don't think I have the right skin type for it. I know so many people who love this, which really makes me think it's just my skin it didn't like. If you're wondering what my skin type is, it's combination skin with a very oily t-zone and some blemishes which have dry skin around them. I just don't think I get on with heavier foundations any more, which for me, this is.
Where you can find it: In Boots and Superdrug
Cost: £8.99
Would I repurchase: Definitely not.
What did you think of the Nearly Naked foundation?

Oh thats a shame as you were looking forward to this foundation so much . I am in love with this foundation but i do agree with you when you say it needs to be reblending a bit but i can live with that .
ReplyDeleteYeah reblending I can live with, I'm getting used to it with my skin, but it just doesn't work on my skin, does not look good :/
DeleteI do think it gets a tad oily through the day but its actually better than the Rimmel Wide Awake and I used to like that. I think it's quite a good foundation for throughout the day instead of wearing a more expensive one. I thought the coverage was good. The only thing i'm not keen on is the clumsy packaging. It should have a pump. Anyways i'll review it soon too xx
ReplyDeleteYeah it's a shame Revlon do that, it's the same with their colourstay foundation too. I know it's worked for a lot of people, just not me sadly :/
DeleteI've heard good things about this foundation, but as it was compared to Urban Decay's Naked Skin Liquid Foundation, I chose to purchase Urban Decay instead, and I'm really loving the formulation. Have you tried it?
ReplyDeleteYeah I've had a little sample of it, and that didn't work for me either :P I have very fussy skin I think :)
DeleteI don't like the sound of this! I have dry patches on my cheeks and no time to reblend! :P
ReplyDeleteMight be worth checking their site in case they give out free samples to try before you buy :)
DeleteYour skin type sounds exactly like mine. I've been putting off getting this and glad I have now. Will be interested to see what you think about the Bourjois one.
ReplyDeleteM
xx
Yeah, very finicky skin! The Bourjois one is definitely better, but again, not amazing with the dry bits of skin. Nothing is swaying me from the Dr Jart BB Cream yet :P
DeleteJust got this today. What's with the no pump!? Think Bourjois with be my next purchase x
ReplyDeleteI know... that's Revlon for you, same with Colourstay :/
DeleteI've nearly purchased this so many times - heard it compared to the YSL Teint Touche Eclat foundation which is one of my favourites. But it sounds like the formula needs some working on! xx
ReplyDeleteSandy, take it from me, it's nothing at all like the YSL Touche Eclat Teint foundation, I have that, and it's amazing, but these two are worlds apart as far as I'm concerned.
DeleteI just read another blog about this foundation, and it was a rave review. I've seen so many people say this was really good. You're the first to have problems with it. :(
ReplyDeleteI brought this and was not pleased with it at all. The concept is that it feels like you are wearing nearly no makeup, it left my skin dry and it seemed not to blend very easily into my skin, it made my face look like I had a ton of oil on it and it is just sitting on my vanity collecting dust.
