When it comes to my everyday makeup routine, I like to keep things quick, easy, and polished — and lately, I’ve been reaching for my favourite Revlon products to get the job done in under five minutes!
Starting with the base, the Age Defying 3X Foundation R349,95 SHOP has become a staple in my routine. If you’re on the hunt for a foundation that’s ideal for more mature skin (35+), I can’t recommend this one enough. It delivers a beautiful dewy glow while hydrating like a moisturiser, soothing like a serum, and prepping like a primer.
With the added bonus of SPF 20, it offers both skincare benefits and sun protection. The coverage is medium but buildable, with a natural, skin-like finish that never looks heavy or cakey. Thanks to the Tri-Shield technology packed with anti-aging ingredients, it also helps to lift and firm the skin — all at a wallet-friendly price point. Plus, it’s fragrance-free, which means I can safely use it around my eyes too.
For the eyes, I’ve been loving the new Colorstay Multi Liners R219 each. I use the shade “Catalyst” SHOP to line my upper lash line, then smudge it out softly with the built-in brush. The creamy gel formula glides on effortlessly without pulling or tugging at delicate skin — a dream for quick application.
To finish off the eyes, two coats of the Colorstay Xtensionnaire Mascara R249,95 SHOP add beautiful length and definition. This mascara not only delivers on immediate results but also nourishes lashes over time, thanks to a Pro Vitamin B5-infused serum. With lightweight Flexi-Polymer Fibers and a tapered brush, it lifts and defines every lash for a gorgeous, extension-like effect that wears comfortably for up to 24 hours.
For a natural flush, I dab a tiny amount of the Illuminance Gel Serum Blush in Striking Rose R225 SHOP onto the apples of my cheeks, blending it upwards for a fresh, healthy glow.
On the lips, I line with the Colorstay Multi Liner in “Dallying,” SHOP which blends beautifully thanks to its creamy texture. (It’s the perfect dupe if you love MAC’s Spice liner!)
I top it off with the Colorstay Limitless Matte Lipstick in Beauty Sleep R240 SHOP a perfect nude shade. This 24-hour comfortable matte formula is vegan, packed with Triple Hyaluronic Acid and Upcycled Cranberry Extract, and feels amazing on sensitive lips.
If I have a few seconds to spare, I like to brighten up the inner corners of my eyes and highlight my cupid’s bow using the Colorstay Multi Liner in “High-Point” SHOP for a touch of glow.
And that’s it — a quick, fuss-free routine featuring high-performing, affordable formulas that I absolutely love!
