Review: Makeup: Kanebo Revue liquid foundation

I was introduced to this liquid foundation during a makeover at Kanebo. Revue is one of Kanebo’s department store brands like T’estimo and over here, can be found at the same counter i.e. the Kanebo counter. Revue specialises in base products i.e. for your face – primers, foundations, powders etc.

This packaging is actually the older packaging for the Revue Natural Stay Liquid Foundation. The new packaging is a pink bottle that looks quite adorable.

The texture is that of a watery liquid. You must shake it before applying so the colour is mixed up evenly. I like the liquid texture as it does not feel thick when you apply it on, like normal foundations.

The texture however, is on the sheer side, so those who need more coverage might prefer something else. If you are like me (I don’t have perfect skin) and don’t like the feeling of a thick heavy foundation, you’ll like this one. It sinks into your skin nicely and you don’t even feel like you are wearing foundation at all. I usually dust some loose powder over it, just to set it, and I’m good to go. The nice thing about it being on the sheer side is that even if you make a mistake and don’t apply it smoothly, it won’t show up. The downside of course is that it doesn’t cover blemishes very well. But that’s what concealer is for, right?

The bottle is a little 30ml bottle which is very little, but you only use very little anyway since its so liquid. It spreads very easily which again is nice. I use my fingers to apply, but you can use a sponge.

It costs about RM129 which is expensive considering.

Pros: Sheer, light texture

Cons: Sheer, expensive
