A drugstore foundation, better than Chanel?!

Seeing as autumn is here and that Summer glow feels like a thing of the past, I decided to make a start on shopping for my Autumn make-up.

Now, for all of us pale-skin girls, shopping for foundation can feel like a nightmare...especially if you're trying to shop drug-store. I've found that I always get the lightest possible shade, usually of a very limited colour range, and even then it's just that teeny bit too dark. So you can imagine my surprise when I came across the Revlon Colourstay Foundation. Not only are there 9 shades but they looked great and, as I mentioned before, I immediately went for the lightest shade...and it was TOO LIGHT!



Wow, this was a new experience! So, I opted for the second lightest shade 'Buff', tested it on my jawline and it blended in seamlessly. Now, I have to admit I did feel ever-so-slightly pessimistic about how it would look in daylight, would I still be impressed?! Yes, the shade looked absolutely flawless on my skin. I have been wearing Chanel for a while, and I can't believe I'm saying this but I will be swapping it for this £12.49 Revlon foundation!

Pros:
Lightweight but buildable
Dries quickly
Lasts all day
Suitable for dry skin without looking too dewy
Looks flawless
Good price
SPF 20

Cons:
Only the packaging, it doesn't come with a pump but this is a personal preference

Have you tried this range?
