Rather starve that use this: Revlon Custom Creations foundation.

Hey,

Ladies and gents who love makeup. Okay lets cut to the chase. So I saw the ad for Revlon Custom Creations and I thought WOW a foundation that you can customize to fit any skin tone. That sounds like a brilliant idea. So in my head I thought this was gonna be the greatest invention where you turn the dial and BAM there you have it your ideal shade. So I am not saying this can't happen with this product but sweethearts it not that simple.

So lets get started:

Description:

According to the company's website

Create your perfect shade with the simple turn of a dial. Lightweight feel. Naturally flawless. SPF 15.  ( See what I told you before about it is as easy as a turn of a dial and I said that before I read the description. lol)

Packaging:

Comes in a plastic bottle which is great because you can carry it in your suitcase or handbag and not have to worry about it breaking. The cap is pretty decent. It doesn't come off easily so once it is on it is on. Mine right now has makeup in the cap itself and is perfectly okay.
What I am about to say I don't know if you would consider this a flaw in packaging or product.

So I bought this thinking that people like me who could never find their shade because today you have dark skin the next day you look yellow and lighter this would be perfect for me. And I really believed the whole turn the dial and presto changeo you would get your perfect shade so I was truly disappointed. (I got this for Christmas and was so excited too so you know how crushed I was when it failed)

The thing is it isn't that simple. I have this in deep the darkest shade range.

First off if you want this to work or at least not to cry from frustration you better be the lightest shade not the darkest.???? Well because if you aren't  then you will have to spend practically forever trying to squeeze out the lighter shades before you get to yours which means a lot of wasted product.

Most of us are buying it based on the overall concept which if you think about it is very gimmicky.

The pump is not bad. It isn't hard to get the product out but this pump works a little too  well. Even when you are done  it still sprays out so if you on the go and have no time to clean up it could be irritating.

Product

Now here is where the problem starts. For starters it is very thick. It appears so when you place it on your hand but compared to my other foundations such as my Maybelline Dream Liquid Foundation. ( I hope I said that right. lol). It feels like liquid foundation. For all those over 30 or even those who were born before 2000, remember how liquid foundation used to feel. Like you just placed a thick mud mask on your face even with the littlest amount. Yep well guess what y'll. The dreaded heavy liquid makeup from the past has come back and it is this. This is just my opinion and in my opinion it feels very thick compared to my other liquid foundations. It is extremely cakey if you apply too much so trying to build it up (which you don't need to because it is definitely a full coverage foundation). I like the fact that isn't wet and cold when I apply it to my face that many liquid foundations are guilty of.

 As a foundation I give it a C+, as a concealer once you get your ideal shade I will give it a A+.  It would make a great concealer but not too much for under eye area.

Price: $64 at Pennywise.( I saw it for 64 dollars there but you know just like in the US drugstore makeup prices change depending where you go Superpharm might have it for cheaper)

Sister bought it for me she said she didn't buy it at PW but I know she bought it in Trincity Mall because we all go shopping for Christmas there on the same day. ( Y'll that is be a drama, trying to buy for each other and hoping not to run into each other while buying which has happened once before. Thank the Lord she wasn't by the counter buying the item because that would have been a spoiled surprise)

The look: I say dewey finish some say satin. All about preference and experience I guess.

I apply this will a brush. Tried with a sponge which is my favorite choice for foundation but not with this. Can't really explain just MHO.

Honestly I feel a HOT mess when I wear this all over my face. Right now it refuses to get any darker so I just use it when I have a foundation that is too dark for me I put a little. Even that may backfire as this thing is so thick that I could put 5 drops of my L'oreal Infalliable foundation and 2 pumps of this and my face looks white.

Overall rating: C-

This product was an impulse move. I asked my sister to buy it without watching yt videos and reading posts. So I am thankful for this product because it taught me a lesson about makeup. Never compulsive buy unless you have money to waste.
