THE VERDICT:

To cap off my Nearly Naked blog posts, I'm going to muse about Revlon's Nearly Naked Pressed Powder for today.

Normally, regular pressed powder will leave you with naked, blah coverage whereas this powder will leave you naked, but in a nice way because it's got nice coverage that you can wear it alone.

REVLON NEARLY NAKED PRESSED POWDER IN MEDIUM (030) AND MEDIUM DEEP (040) IN DETAIL

Just like its foundation counterpart, it promises undetectable coverage with a lightweight feel. It comes in six shades, but I believe we have 4 or 5 here.

More about this nice powder after the cut!

Compact is pretty big and kinda' hard to pry open. It comes with a super soft and smooth powder puff with a satin lining. However, my other compact didn't come with a puff applicator at all-make sure to check yours before taking it home!

Medium is a medium beige shade with an olive undertone while Medium Deep is a toasted beige shade with pink undertone. I just find it odd that the overall undertone of this line is entirely different from its liquid foundation counterpart. It's unscented, texture is in between dry and creamy, and coverage is medium to full. I find that you can build the coverage but without getting that thick and cakey look. The trade- off are it's pressed pretty well in the pan and I get very minimal fall out during usage.

Revlon Nearly Naked Warm Beige + Powder in Medium Deep (040)

Eek! Too dark on me.

Revlon Nearly Naked Liquid Foundation in Warm Beige + Powder in Medium (030)

For all morenas out there, especially those with an NC42 shade match in MAC, the best combination is Warm Beige (Liquid Foundation) and Medium (Powder). Warm Beige liquid foundation is already teeny weeny dark on me, but Medium adjusted it to my skin tone perfectly.

The powder is fine (but not finely-milled) and doesn't create patches on top of liquid foundation making it a very good setting powder. Finish is matte and even if coverage is pretty good, it manages to look soft on my skin. It's not really "Naked" in my opinion because it has better coverage than other pressed powders and it gets amplified if used on top of another foundation. If you want to get that naked look, you should use it on its own but with concealer on dark circles and discolorations.

Staying power and oil control are good: I stay oil- free on the t-zone for three to four hours (depending on the weather) and there's little to no fading at day's end. This pressed powder has the coverage of a powder foundation but the feel of a regular pressed powder so I use it when I'm going to hit the gym because it's light, non-clogging, yet gives me the coverage I need for such casual moments. If you just prefer pressed powder on a daily basis, this is such a sweet choice because it's all that you want, but with an extra 'oomph' for an even better- looking skin. I just wish next time, there would be more (or everything) yellow- toned shades. :)
