I had tons of requests to review at least this foundation by Revelique. For those who don't know, Revelique is an Austrian make-up brand which launched first in my country first (Bosnia and Herzegovina) and than expanded in Austria (online purchases) and settled for Belarus, for now at least. It's really an all-round great drugstore brand which does actually offer some cool make-up of great quality at affordable prices. I've discovered some of my HG products right from the Revelique range and, surprisingly, those favorite products are things I use on a daily basis (e.g.Revelique Soft Compact Powder and their Eyebrow Pencils – those are next to be reviewed). So, brows and compact powder done – how do we stand with liquid bases? I'm really fussy with my foundations and I rarely find my match in the drugstore aisles – could it be that I've spoiled myself? Very possible but I do remember liking the Bourjois healthy Mix Serum foundation and now I have another I'm really keen on. Revelique Natural Finish Make-Up foundation in Ivory (10) is the perfect example of how a brand fulfills it's claims. This foundation does exactly as it's stated in the description of the product. Creamy make-up for a natural and radiant finish, suitable for normal skin. The special formula with almond proteins and hyaluronic acid provides the skin with moisture and protects with solar filters (SPF8 is pretty low, though – it's symbolic even). With soft focus complex for an even complexion and a smooth, natural skin texture. Suitable for normal and dry skin.
Dobila sam toliko zahtjeva da recenziram Revelique tecne podloge ali podloga koju sam odabrala za danas ima daleko najvise zainteresovanih. Za sve vas koji mozda ne znate, Revelique je austrijski brend koji je poceo sa prodajom proizvoda od Bosne i Hercegovine, dostupni su preko online kupovine u Austriji no mozete ih pronaci i u Bjelorusiji. Barem je za sada takvo stanje sa dostupnoscu. Revelique je uopsteno gledajuci jedan odlican drogerijski brend medju cijim proizvodima je lako snaci se i pronaci nesto sto ce vama odgovarati + cijene su jako pristupacne. U BiH, u cm trgovinama su uvijek aktuelna neka snizenja i akcije. Ugodno sam iznenadjena cinjenicom da sam sasvim neocekivano otkrila par svojih HG proizvoda medju Revelique kozmetikom (npr.Revelique Soft Compact puder u kamenu ili njihove olovke za oci koje cu slijedece recenzirati). Znate da sam izuzetno zadovoljna puderom u kamenu i spomenutim olovkama ali – kako stojimo sa tecnim podlogama? Moram priznati da sam prilicno zahtjevna po nekim svojim kriterijima, posebno kada su tecne podloge u pitanju. Mozda sam sebi dopustila da se malo razmazim pa je eventualno to razlog zbog kojeg su drogerijske podloge rijetkost medju mojim favoritima. Istinu govoreci, dopala mi se Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum podloga ali i naredna mi je prilicno zanimljiva. Revelique Natural Finish Make-Up podloga u nijansi Ivory (10) je savrsen primjer kada sve ono sto brend obeca – bude ispunjeno i u stvarnosti. Znaci, navedeno je da se radi o kremastoj podlozi prirodnog finisa (ten je osvijetljen) te je namjenjena normalnoj i suhoj kozi. Posebna formula sa proteinima badema i hijaluronskom kiselinom kozi pruza vlagu ali je dodatno stiti od sunca. Ruku na srce, SPF8 je jako, jako nizak – simbolican cak. Sa ‘soft focus’ kompleksom ova podloga cini kozu glatkom.
I have to agree that Natural Finish Makeup foundation (30ml/ $7) is a very creamy foundation and it actually doesn't feel too light. I'd even say that it's better to use it during Autumn/Winter rather than in Summer as it has a face cream vibe going on. It has a pretty strong makeup-y scent. Luckily, it does go away quickly and I don't feel it after I've applied this foundation. It does have a rather juicy, natural finish and light-ish coverage. It does even out the complexion in a way a decent BB cream would and I also agree that it would suit people with normal to dry skin. People with oily skin – beware – this foundation is not for you. I had three friends with oily and acne prone (adult acne) skin and they all couldn't get it to work for them. Overall I do like this foundation as it's quite simple and ‘old-school’, fuss-free really. I don't like the shade range as I'm using the lightest shade Ivory (10) which is a medium complexion match (rather neutral undertone which after oxidation leans towards warm). That means fair skin cannot find a true match in this range and – this foundation slightly oxidizes on me. If it was a tad light for me the minute I applied it, after 30 minutes it balances out with my natural skin tone nicely. It has a good lasting power of approx 6h-8h which is great for such a creamy formulation. You can see how it looks on my face, here in the previous post Two Lipsticks: Two Make-Up Looks. I love the packaging as it's travel-friendly. It's so small and cute! That black, minimalistic vibe is fail-proof and the pump works amazingly well. Have you had the chance to try this or any other Revelique foundation?
Slazem se da je Natural Finish Make-Up tecna podloga (30ml/ 10,35KM) izrazito kremaste teksture no istovremeno, nije isuvise lagana na kozi. Mislim da je prikladnije koristiti tokom jeseni i zime, kada su temperature nize posto se ponasa poput kreme za lice i odaje takav slican dojam. Ima prilicno intenzivan miris, karakteristican za kozmetiku no, srecom – nestaje po nanosenju. Pruza prilicno ‘socan’ efekat na kozi koja djeluje nahranjeno te izgleda jako prirodno dok je prekrivanje slabije uz blagu mogucnost slojevite nadogradnje. Ujednacava ten na nacin kako bi to pristojna BB krema ucinila i takodjer se slazem da bi najvise odgovarala osobama normalne do suhe koze. Osobe sa masnom kozom – primite k znanju da ova podloga nije za vas. Tri prijateljice i kolegice su isprobale ovu tecnu podlogu i sve tri su u tridesetim godinama, koza im je masna i sklone su aknama. Njima jednostavno ova podloga nije odgovarala iz vise razloga a jedan od bitnijih je sto bi koza uskoro po nanosenju na T-zoni pokazivala nezeljeni sjaj. Samo ukoliko imate relativno zahvalan ten, normalnu do suhu kozu – u tom slucaju ova podloga ima moju preporuku. Ne dopada mi se sto je izbor nijansi jako slab (samo 4 nijanse) od kojih je Ivory (10), nijansa koju ja koristim najsvjetlija. Licno bih je svrstala kao pogodnu za srednje taman ten (neutralnog je podtona no nakon sto blago oksidira, naginje ka toplom podtonu). Ovo znaci da osobe izrazito svijetlog, poruculanskog tena nece moci pronaci odgovarajucu nijansu za sebe. Sama oksidacija nije drasticna, ukoliko je Ivory (10) bila blago svijetla za mene – nakon pola sata i blagog oksidiranja, postala je idealna i prirodno se stopila sa mojom kozom. Trajnost iznosi pristojnih 6h-8h sto nije lose imajuci u obizru da je formulacija ove podloge izrazito kremasta. Mozete vidjeti kako izgleda na licu u prethodnom postu ovdje ali sam prilozila i par slika ispod. Pakovanje mi je jako simpaticno posto je sicusno i ponovo se pokazalo kako sa klasikom i minimalizmom glede dizajna nema greske. Pumpica je takodjer jako funkcionalna. Da li ste mozda imale priliku da isprobate neku Revelique podlogu?
