To set the base in place, I used the RCMA ‘No-Colour Powder’, which is a loose setting powder, and Mario Badescu’s ‘Facial Spray with Aloe, Chamomile and Lavender’, which isn’t really a proper makeup setting spray but I like to live dangerously. When I spritzed the mist and called it a day on my look, it was 9:20 am. 1 (very) small dot blended in with a damped beauty sponge (Real Technique Face & Body sponge) After almost 11 hours, when I finally decided to take the makeup off, I inspected my face closely one last time. I noticed that my foundation had started to disrupt in the area around my nose. It was fading gracefully, I’ll give you that, but it was starting to become noticeable. Moving on to the more aesthetic part, there is actually a few things one might say about this foundation.

When it comes to performance, I feel like that’s when the product actually shines the most. I always test my foundations without re-touching it to see how well it works, and I was beyond impressed with the resiliance of this one. You have to admit, more than 6 hours without a breakthrough of oil is pretty impressive! I wasn’t really bugged about it, 6 hours without re-touches is a pretty good result in my book – especially considering how oily my nose is! Right off the bat, I could see that the foundation melted perfectly with my skin, not sitting on top of it but creating a perfect skin-like canvas to work with. Before continuing on, however, I may need to point a little something out.A sleek, soft and smooth base… What’s not to love!? Housed in a luxe glass bottle with a jumbo doe-foot applicator, this foundation offers precision and greater control. The highly pigmented, buildable coverage means that you can apply a small amount to allow your natural complexion to shine through or you can layer the foundation to achieve a more full coverage effect that conceals blemishes and evens out skin tone.

In terms of coverage, I am definitely impressed by this foundation. I have to be honest and admit that I did not expect much out of this product, especially when it comes to coverage. I wouldn’t label it as a proper full coverage base, but it definitely is a medium to full coverage buildable formula. Another detail I noticed is that this foundation doesn’t need immidiate setting to work perfectly. It won’t crease right away, so you do have a little time to smooth rough edges up.Meet your matte made in heaven with our latest addition to the Revolution foundation family - Matte Base Foundation. Designed with team matte mantra in mind - because not everyone can do dewy! This foundation offers a mattifying solution for oily, blemish-prone complexions - or for those who simply prefer a matte finish. Launching in 24 skin-true shades and a range of undertones, this full-coverage foundation boasts a long-wearing, matte finish that still manages to feel lightweight and comfortable on skin, whilst diffusing the appearances of pores for a blurred, airbrush-like finish. Designed in a sleek, travel-friendly tube with pin-worthy rose gold accents. The ‘pore-blurring’ element of this foundation is definitely present, although not overwhealming. It does help a considerable amount when it comes to smoothing out pores, but it will work even better with a pore-blurring primer. On one hand, it’s very practical and easy to carry around. On the other hand, though, it gives off kind of a cheap-feeling vibe. The Matte Base foundation promises not only a matte texture, but also a pore-blurring and full coverage finish. These claims are quite ambitious for such a low price point; so, how much of it is true? Surprisingly, the two melted together perfectly. The spots where I placed and blended out the concealer were not only pleasantly highlighted, but also offered a nice silky (almost dewy, but not quite) finish.
