Revlon Custom Creations Foundation with SPF 15

Revlon Custom Creations Foundation with SPF 15

Today, I am going to introduce a liquid foundation which is unique and unique because it has 5 shades in a single bottle. :woot: How great is that? As we all know, finding the perfect shade is a pain most of the time, especially with the weird lighting in the malls. So, when I saw this, I bought it instantly, thinking I can play with different shades. :toothygrin:

Revlon Custom Creations Foundation with SPF 15

Product Description by Revlon:

Create your perfect shade with the simple turn of a dial. Lightweight feel. Naturally flawless. SPF 15. Innovative bottle offers five shade settings, making it easy to fine-tune your foundation shade for the perfect match. Simply turn the dial to adjust shade from lighter to darker. Lightweight formula blends seamlessly into skin for a naturally flawless look. Available in a range of skin tones from light to deep. SPF 15. Oil free & fragrance free.

How To Apply:

Apply to cleansed skin after your daily moisturizer. Turn the dial to your desired shade and pump foundation. Using your fingertips or applicator, blend foundation onto skin, starting in the center of your face, forehead, nose and chin blending outward.

Price:

I don’t remember it exactly, but it was around 1200 for 30 ml I guess.

Shades Available:

Fair/Light, Light, Light/Medium, Medium, Medium/Deep, Deep.

Packaging and How To Use:

It comes in a small bottle with a pump dispenser. There are 2 sections in the bottle. One half is filled with medium shade foundation and the other half contains darker shade.

There is a dial with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 marked with 5 being the darkest. Just turn the dial to the required number and pump the foundation out. In the below picture, I have set the dial to shade 2.

My Experience with Revlon Custom Creations Foundation with SPF 15:

The formula is very lightweight and blends easily into the skin.  It gives sheer to medium coverage without leaving a white cast.  It has SPF which is an added benefit.  It will not completely cover black spots and hence you need to use a concealer to hide them.

These are the swatches of the 5 shades:

Swatches

As you can see, there is not much difference between the shades. I can hardly tell them apart, but one is definitely lighter than 5, that is all.

Below are the pictures of shade number 1 as I blended them onto my skin:

Pros of Revlon Custom Creations Foundation with SPF 15:

  • Lightweight, glides on easily and do not settle into fine lines.
  • You can select from the 5 shades to the one that matches your exact skin tone. You can also mix different shades together.
  • Coverage is good.  You can retouch it without the fear of looking cakey.
  • Has SPF which is an added benefit during daytime.
  • After half an hour of application, I can hardly tell that I am wearing any foundation.
  • Since it is oil and fragrance free, chances of getting pimples are lesser.
  • Did not dry out my skin.
  • Pump dispenser is very easy to use, more hygienic.
  • The darker colors can be used when you get tanned or for highlighting specific areas on the face. My chin is a little darker than my cheeks and I use a darker shade on my chin.
  • One bottle can be shared with your friends or sisters with slightly different skin tone.

Cons of Revlon Custom Creations Foundation with SPF 15:

  • Price is on the higher side.
  • There is only a slight difference between the 5 shades and 5 is definitely darker than 1, but do not expect that you will have 5 completely different foundations.
  • It does not give full coverage. Buy this only if you are looking for sheer-to-medium coverage.
  • Since it is oil free, you should always moisturize before applying the foundation.
  • It will not give a dewy finish, not much of a con though because the overall effect looks natural.
  • Staying power is not that great, but decent enough.

IMBB Rating:

3.5/5

Will I Repurchase Revlon Custom Creations Foundation with SPF 15?

Yes, but in “Medium” shade next time, since the “Deep” in “Medium/Deep” is a little too dark for me.

    1. From wheeere? Did you also go on a trip?!! :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot: anyway welcome backkk 😀
      Interesting concept, this. But then what’s the point if they’re not really different shades :waiting: :waiting: :waiting: thanks for the review, and nice pics too!! 🙂

    1. Thank you Jismi :happydance: :happydance: :happydance: :happydance: :happydance: :happydance: :happydance: :happydance: :happydance: :happydance: :happydance: you missed me :happydance: :happydance: :happydance: :happydance: :happydance:

        1. My comment was under moderation 🙁 where did you gooo Jomol!!! You also went on a trip? 😀 😀 😀 anyway welcome backk!! I am going mad trying to put together stuff for the contest :S

  1. Jismi….its a very unique concept and a great one at that, is this available in India. This is perfect for someone like me who is never lucky in finding a true foundation shade :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

    1. I had bought this one from Central in Bangalore one year back. However I cannot find this in Revlon India site now. :sidefrown: But it is present in U.S Revlon site. :jiggy1:

  2. Ya the individual difference is not much..though the concept is awesome..if there would be some color variations..a person can exactly mix and match to the perfect shade na :))

  3. If its not available in india then its such an irony cause we indians need definitely more than one shade to perfect the foundation on our face – MUAs recommend using more than one foundation shade for darker skintones or ethnic skintones…but a lovely concept anyway. :yahoo:

    1. I have not recently checked out any foundation in Revlon. So do not know if it is available here now. :sick: I had bought this around 1 year ago from Central mall in Bangalore. :haanji:

  4. hey i am thinking of buying this but dont know which shade to get
    what is ur mac shade for reference?
    thank you :rotfl:

    1. Oh. ELF also has one like this. That is great. :clap: Can you please tell us all what is the exact name of the foundation? All you ladies who do not find this in Revlon, please try to get your hands on ELF :announce: :announce: :announce:

  5. welcome to IMBB jismi. 🙂 It sounds pretty nice but i would be more comfortable if I just have my own shade in the bottle. But this is really good for people who find it difficult to find their exact match in the foundations. Good review. 🙂

    1. Madam…I would love to have a look into ur wardrobe and Makeup stash……….What an amazing collection u have…Kudos… :teddy: :teddy: :love: :love: :love: I will die of jealousy………. :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin:

    2. Thanks a lot Rati. IMBB is such a great cozy place to share our views and experiences. It is like a close knit family in here. :puchhi: Although a little late, I am so glad I joined now. :happydance: You and the entire team is doing a fantastic job. :yes:
      Yes Rati, this will be great for people who keep on buying foundation in search of the perfect match. 🙂

  6. Wow…Jismi..nice review and the photographs too :yes: :yes: :yes: .unique concept.. I think this Would help makeup artists the most… For others Its a waste of product…… :tongue:

  7. sounds nice..the concept is really unique ..but the fall back is i think on the less variation in shades..it would have been even better if you could swatch shade 5 along with it 🙂

  8. This is something I would love to try.. Thanks Jismi for the review. You said its oil free, does that mean its good for oily skin? I swear I get tanned so quick and bad my skin colour moves 2 shades up and down all through the year. This could be a blessing for me 😀 😀 😀
