    This is Lara Croft's foundation

    You know how you watch a movie where the female action hero scales a cliff in a hot climate only to jump onto the roof of a moving train then roll into a river from which she emerges looking perfect? And you mutter "like hell" to your chianti and stare at the side of your husband's head wondering whether he's thinking she really looks like that?

    After I remind you that your husband is actually thinking about whether the movie will end before Family Guy starts I'll say this: I can't help with your hair, but if you want your face to look the same from the time you leave the house until you get home again NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, this is the foundation for you,

    I work in emergency services. The work is hot. And cold. And rainy. And dry. Sometimes the snow drives against my face for hours. Sometimes it's agonizingly humid. Even if there were time to fix up my face after some kind of environmental insult, nobody respects a preener around here. There's no "powdering your nose."

    I'm a bit girly (fashion-wise), and I like to wear makeup. But I got to the point on some 40 degree day years ago while wiping off a now orange sweat mustache, where I gave up on foundation. I would rather [genuine gasp] give up on foundation then have it melt all over my face, making me look like a barbie that got left too close to the fire.

    Mercifully, I gave it one last chance. On a whim I bought Revlon's ColorStay 24hr Foundation. It stays.

    This is not a foundation for someone who has lots of grooming time, who has a stylist, or who freshens up sixteen times before lunch. If you are dressed by birds in the morning you don't need it. This foundation is for women who work in extreme conditions. To make it work for you, follow my advice:

    TIPS:

    There are two different foundations in this line- one for oily/combination skin and one for dry skin. Choose the right one.

    This product sets in just a few minutes. That's your working time. Don't get interrupted.

    Apply with a sponge. Don't pretend you can do this with your fingers or a little triangle wedge. Get a large, proper, non-discount makeup sponge. It's worth it.

    Apply a thin layer as a base then sponge dab additional product on any place needing extra coverage.

    Use the right shade. This product has good coverage, so if you've chosen the wrong shade you will look like you are wearing a mask. I own most shades and I blend them as needed to make a shade that suits my skin- which is sometimes pale and sometimes tanned.

    Apply the foundation everywhere, even over your lips and eyelids. It will anchor your lipstick and eye shadow.

    After application, apply your lipstick THEN a translucent loose powder all over your face. Your lipstick will be with you for the day. Go ahead and french kiss your hot co--star. Eat a hoagie in less than 45 seconds. Only salad oil will budge a lipstick applied in this order.

    If you are sweating heavily, just blot your face (with anything from your T-shirt to a paper towel.) Only sweat will be transferred; your foundation will stay put. You can even shower without re-applying anything but your setting powder.

    Go ahead and be the real Lara Croft with confidence. You CAN really look like that. So much the better if you're done before it's time for Family Guy.

    I have SUPER oily skin and this is my holy grail foundation! I do have to set it with a powder, but it lasts 8hours without budging!

    This is the best foundation I've used from a drug store. I used to use expensive foundation from a department store but couldn't stand shelling out the money. I tried this product since it had great reviews and I love it! I found a shade that matches my skin color perfectly. It goes on so nice and doesn't give a cakey look. It doesn't even look like I'm wearing foundation. It just makes my complexion even. It doesn't dry my skin out but doesn't make it look greasy either. I love this stuff and don't plan on using anything else anytime soon.

    Very high coverage and long lasting. Dries out the skin a little bit but makes the skin look absolutely flawless.

    I was reading about it online and said it was good for coverage. I didn't notice that it covered well. I could still see what I was trying to cover.

    Being someone with a lot of scars from acne, this coverup by far covers everything! N its noncosmogenic so it doesn't break my face out either! Luv it:)

    I absolutely love this product! Stays on even and fresh all day. No need to reapply half way through a busy day! I highly recommend this product.
