Many of you are probably quite familiar with my raves about the Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation<\/a> and its gel serum counterpart<\/a>. But many will also bemoan the fact that this quite lovely foundation just isn’t available locally. Thing is, I may have found a local substitute \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n But before you break out the pom-poms and cheers, I have to tell you that I hesitate to call this a substitute in a true sense, because I personally feel that this one’s a little more suited for someone with normal to dry skintypes. The foundation in question is the Revlon Age Defying Foundation with DNA Advantage Cream Makeup SPF20<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You may have noticed this in our local pharmacies – the red capped foundation bottle with the helix within the clear plastic case is quite eye catching. I must say at this juncture that I have had pretty good experiences with Revlon base products in the most part. In fact, were I to be asked to recommend a base (whether powder or liquid) easily available at the pharmacies, I’d almost always point you to the Revlon counter. Their products just work well for me, and the Age Defying DNA Advantage Cream Makeup is no exception.<\/p>\n The reference to the DNA and the double helix the bottle represents is the fact that this liquid foundation is not only supposed to act as a makeup base, but also is imbued with skincare anti-aging benefits. It is also supposed to help skin feel refreshed and revitalized and diminish fine lines and wrinkles with regular use. Personally, I don’t buy into all that.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Cynicism aside however, I must say that any benefit to my skin is better than none. Much to the credit of this product, I find the texture very smooth and hydrating on my skin. It does not look cakey nor does it cause my skin to dry out with prolonged use. Considering we sometimes have makeup on for long hours at work, it does matter if your foundation will hold up. Many long wearing foundations tend to be rather drying on the skin but this one feels comfortable on and actually stays looking good pretty much all day long.<\/p>\n What I like about the Revlon Age Defying foundation with DNA Advantage is simply just how it looks on my skin. With this one on, my skin looks plumped and dewy without looking oily. It applies very creamy but not thickly, and I find that it is very very comfortable on the skin.<\/p>\n However, I personally feel that this one is more suited for those with a normal to dry skintype as stated above. I have such a skintype and this product feels absolutely lovely on. It does not turn me oily once I set it with some loose powder or Meteorites, it makes my skin look good and coverage is light to medium depending on how much you use. My T-zone does sometimes get a bit oily throughout the day, but this foundation doesn’t make it worse so that’s a huge plus.<\/p>\n However, for those with oily skintypes, I can imagine you may find this one a little heavy on your skin. The texture of the product is creamy which some people may not like. Its not to say it will not work for you, since I can’t quite tell if it will. Its merely an observation and I will suggest you test it at the counters to see if you will like it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
