It was Revlon Face Gloss’s name, Rose Glow that stopped us in our tracks. Achieving a pretty flush across our cheeks without having to spend an hour sweating it out at the gym or worse, being trapped in minus 30-degree weather in a snowstorm? Sold.
One part skincare and another part makeup, this skin primer is fuelled with glycerin and olive oil, apple, watermelon and lentil extracts for 24-hour hydration. Plus, the formula contains 80 per cent water to give it a lightweight and bouncy texture that doesn’t feel sticky in your hands or on your face. And it wears really well, too.
While you can rub a pea-sized dollop over top of your moisturizer and across your entire face to create a luminous look, we like to dab a little along our cheekbones and on the apples of our cheeks for a glossy, rosy hue. With its light-reflecting pearlescent effect, our skin radiates naturally and prettily. It works on every skin type (even our sensitive face) and tone too, so we’ll definitely have to hide this covetous tube when friends come over.
