I am a big fan of Revlon’s foundations and believe that they have the best that you can find in the drugstore. I use ColorStay and PhotoReady on the regular but the new new that is Nearly Naked is my new best friend. I think I like this best out of all of them. The lightweight formula melts into your skin giving you just the right amount of coverage without looking like you are wearing too much. This makes it perfect for everyday wear. My shade is 290 Cappuccino.
Nearly Naked comes in a sleek glass bottle with a white screw on top and pour out spout. I really wish that it came with a pump as it would be easier to use. I miss the black top as well as it’s slightly easier to keep clean.
The formula is very liquidy and has the texture of a thick lotion, a little heavier than a tinted moisturizer. It blends well and melts right into the skin making shade selection very forgiving as it adjusts to your complexion. It darkens slightly with oxidation. Nearly Naked also contains sunscreen SPF 20 and protects skin from the sun.
Cappuccino is slightly darker than PhotoReady Cappuccino but lighter than ColorStay Cappuccino. Here is a comparison of the three…
Left to Right: Nearly Naked, PhotoReady, ColorStay
In the same order but slightly blended into skin.
Nearly Naked’s Cappuccino matches my complexion better than both PhotoReady and ColorStay. PhotoReady is a little light and works well in the Winter. In the warmer months I mix it with Mocha. ColorStay works well in the Summer but is a little dark otherwise so I mix it with an illuminator to lighten it. I don’t have to mix Nearly Naked at all, check it out…

Nearly Naked leaves skin with a slightly dewey finish so if you are oily you will need to use a primer and set it with powder. I use a stippling brush to stipple the foundation into my skin and set with Ben Nye Neutral Set. It lasts on me through my entire work day without blotting and I have combination skin with an oily t-zone. It’s not too bad since it’s Winter. but the Summer months may be a different story. We shall see. My oil didn’t begin to break through until about 8 pm but the foundation still did not slide off. For reference I used my Black Radiance Complexion Perfection Shine Control Primer. I have slight blemishes on my cheeks and it covered them well. If you have a lot of dark blemishes or acne I suggest that you use a concealer as the coverage is very light and can be built up to medium but nothing more.
Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation comes in an extensive range of 16 shades in warm and cool undertones. Cappuccino is the darkest shade in the cool color family but there are rumors floating around that there are two darker shades, I haven’t seen them though. It retails between $7.99 and $13.99. I found it in my local Rite Aid for $9.99 so check your local drugstores. Target and Walmart usually have the best prices but Rite Aid has a lot of BOGO deals so maybe you’ll luck out. You can purchase online at drugstore.com.

With that name & font, I momentarily thought this was a new UD Naked product. It looks beautiful on you
Thank you Catherine!
Not bad!
I should look for that here!
You should Jenn, it’s really good!
Sounds like a good foundation, I can never find perfect match w drugstore foundations but would love to check this out I may get lucky. Fab review hun&u look gorgeous as usual
It is a very extensive range of shades and it is very forgiving as it melts into the skin and adjusts, so you should be able to find a shade.
I wish they had a wider range for deeper complexions. I’m a 9,5 in MAC Matchmaster, and this can never work for me. Very disappointing. But you look great. It suits you very well
Thank you so much. As I mentioned it is rumored that there are 2 darker shades but I didn’t see it in store, this is the darkest one I saw. I don’t know how true it is but it wouldn’t make since to make this the deepest shade when PhotoReady and ColorStay both have darker shades, but then again the darkest shade for ColorStay Whipped is Caramel so you never know.
I saw this at walmart and wanted to try it. thanks for the review. I will pick it up and try it.
No problem at all
I really wish it came with a pump! I don’t wear foundation unless for special occasions but i might pick this up…
Yeah, I usually transfer mine to a pump bottle but I feel like I lose some in the process.
I just picked this up today at Target! I’ve only heard great things about it so I am hoping for the best!

Hope you like it!
Ok, as soon as I read darker than PR Cappuccino and lighter than CS Cappuccino, I was IN!! Because I always have to mix two shades of foundation LOL ♥
Lol Don’t you hate that?! Another trick I’ve learned is to mix a shade that is slightly darker with a liquid illuminator to brighten it up. This only works if it’s a tad bit too dark though
Hmmm I may have to try this! How does it compare to HD foundations you think?
I can’t compare as I have yet to use an HD foundation, only a setting powder. I plan to try MUFE’s HD soon. I have so many different foundations in my line up that I just never got around to purchasing lol.
I tried Nearly Naked in Caramel this weekend. Love it! It is light coverage, so I will use it for days I don’t want to wear mid coverage and it will be my weekend foundation for the remainder of the winter. I’m combination/oily, so we’ll see what happens in the Spring/Summer. I hope to try Iman’s BB cream for the summer. Looking forward to seeing a review re: Iman BB cream from you! BTW, the foundation looks very nice on you.
Thank you hon. No worries, I have the Iman BB Cream and the CG Queen All Day Flawless on my list. Now if only I can find them lol
Thanks for this review… Will definitely be trying this foundation! It looks great on you as well!
No problem at all and thank you so much!
