Revlon Colorstay 2 in 1 Compact Makeup & Concealer-SWATCH

I'm excited new foundations are on the market. Dark/Deep toned girls like me are getting more options! This new combo is from Revlon. This is their Revlon Colorstay 2 in 1 Compact Makeup & Concealer (19.99 CAN). 

Packaging:

• Black plastic packaging with concealer built in. 
• Very unique concept because I'm always misplacing my concealer. 
• Convenient to have everything all in on place.

Under the foundation there is a black tear shaped sponge and a mirror.

Finish:

• 12 blendable shades to choose from.
• The formula is a "demi-matte".
• Definitely a medium-heavy coverage foundation- so it wouldn't be hard to build up coverage.

Caramel is not my colour- So I can't test the wearability and sweat proof claims.
**I'm going to try to get my hands on the darkest colour and report back soon**

Have you tried this foundation yet?

Tell me about your youtube channel?My channel is called Curious About My Curls and it focuses on natural hair. I use it as a place to share my tips and tricks that need further explanation past my Instagram page - which is my main and most frequently updated platform (@Curious_Curls).

What are some tips to finding the perfect red or pink lip?Give everything a try. The beauty of women of colour is that we come in all shades and undertones so what may work for one person may not work for another. Try it out, don't be scared & keep a lip liner handy. A lip liner, especially one close to your skin town can make a colour that doesn't quite work look fab!

Any advice on how to confidently sport a new lip colour?
Try it out at home first a few time so you're used to it before sporting it out the door.

Do you have a favourite WOC red or pink lipstick moment?
When it comes to a bold red or pink lip, Rihanna does it extremely well. Her collaboration with MAC for the release of Riri Woo would have to be my favourite lipstick moment. The campaign shots were stunning not just because of the product but because you can feel her attitude and confidence.

Tell me about your blog? -
My blog is a beauty blog aimed at WOC interested in affordable make-up as make-up for WOC in the UK is limited. I post product reviews and swatches as well as some videos here and there all aimed at WOC interested in beauty.

What are some tips to finding the perfect red or pink lip?
I think one of my tips for red lipstick is to opt for a blue based red (true vibrant red) as this type of red works well on all skin tones, for pink lipsticks my tip would be to always pair a pink lipstick with a purple/plum lip liner. This creates a flattering ombre effect.

Favourite High End Red -
Ruby Woo as this was my first ever red lipstick

Low End Red - Colourpop LAX Ultra Matte

High End Pink - OCC Anime Lip Tar

Low End Pink - Sleek Mystic Lipstick

Any advice on how to confidently sport a new lip colour?
My tip to sporting a new lip colour is to keep the rest of your make-up simple and make your new lip colour the statement.
