Excellent sheer-med coverage foundation. Very natural looking, matte finish, and so pleasant to use on my "oily days". It's very light in texture, blends easily, feels fresh. It doesn't make me break out. A winner!

New Complexion was one of my first Revlon foundations when it came out 15 or so years ago. The formula goes on fairly sheer and looks very natural and lasts pretty long into the day. I tend to look for foundations that have staying power and that don't get oily or lose their true to shade color. Only thing is I did find that I had to use more powder to touch up, even the oil-free version is a bit oily after a few hours, thus I only give it four lippies. Overall, a very good product for the money.

I have very pale skin so i bought this in ivory beige. This stuff made my skin look orange, it rubbed off on my white workshirt and let the oil come through. My face looked really awful by lunchtime so I went and removed it. It now sits in my cupboard not being used.

Good stuff. I was looking for a liquid foundation that is as sheer and lightweight as Cover Girl Clean without the horrible smell and in a color that works for me. This is it! (BTW, I am not comparing New Complexion to CG Clean: This stuff is infinitely better!) Love that it's oil-free but not matte and heavy.

I have this foundation in Ivory Beige. It covers nicely and doesn't feel heavy on my skin. This is the first foundation I've tried that doesn't make my skin look dull. My new HG.

I love this foundation. It kept my skin looking fresh all day, didn't change colour and hid all the imperfections that I have (there are lots)! Cameo Beige works perfectly with my slightly darker than NC20 skin tone (hard to match).

Wow...really impressed with this foundation. I use this in Medium beige for my medium skin tone. It goes on flawlessly and makes my skin look AND feel great. Has not broken me out. I love the texture. Many times "oil free" means matte - and I hate matte foundations. The consistancy is light and it blends without effort. It lasts all day and does not change colour. HIGHLY recommended.

My HG- I've always HATED foundation....but this one is so lightweight that I can't even feel it on! Seems really liquidy when you first feel it, but it has decent coverage and blends well.

Since wearing this, people have thought I have naturally good skin and that I don't wear foundation makeup (Very untrue!). This stuff just covers up my skin without looking like I'm wearing makeup. Finally, I have very sensitive skin/rosacea and have been thrilled that this hasn't caused irritation or breakouts.

I have been using this foundation for over 9 years now. I have sometimes strayed just to see if I could find anything better, but always seem to come back to this one! I have combination skin, some breakouts, and this foundation smooths out my complexion and hides imperfections without looking like I've had a cake baked on my face.....very natural looking. I'm also hooked on the new complexion pressed powder!

This foundation is light, oil-free, fragrance and irritant-free. It feels good going on, and doesn't come off easily. It comes in a lot of good colors. I'm white but for some weird reason I've found it hard to "match" my color with a lot of other lines.

Oil-free..that doesn't mean much, within two days I had the hugest zits I've had in a long time..We're talking flashback to High School here. I couldn't even go out. Oily Skin gals, take care because there's something in here that clogs pores. I gave it to my mom, who has really dry skin and it works for well her.

I just started using this foundation a few days ago after reading the wonderful reviews here. I have combination skin that is extremely sensitive AND acne-prone. I've had an incredibly hard time finding an oil-free foundation that doesn't irritate my skin or dry out and cake into my dry areas. I can only hope that it doesn't break me out. Too soon to tell yet. Will update in a few weeks.

*UPDATE*: The zits have cometh. Sigh. I seem to have zit issues with any product containing sodium chloride. My face was completely clear for weeks before using this, so I'm pretty sure the foundation is to blame. Very disappointing.

This was the first time I tried Revlon's product...I used to use Neutrogena Skin Clearing makeup..which was so so...I have disgustingly a lot of pimples on my face...so when it comes to foundation, I tend to be really careful...My mom used Lancome foundation and she told me to try it because she liked the Lancome foundation a lot...But they are really expensive...I thought I'd give another shot to drugstore foundation and read a couple of good reviews on New Complexion Oil-free foundation...I bought it in cameo beige..which is a little lighter than my skin..but nude beige seemed pretty dark..so..I didn't have much choice..plus they don't have that many colors...I think they have only 6 or 7 colors...It seemed really watery so I was worried about coverage..since I have a bunch of pimples to cover up...But surprisingly, it has an excellent coverage inspite of its watery formula...It goes on very lightly so doesn't make my face look too caky...Since it's very light, I feel less worried about my skin not being able to breathe..It also has a little bit of spf..(spf 4)...Overall, I really like it..it's light but it does its job covering imperfections...I didn't like the package though...the opening is too big and I think I'm going to end up spilling it all over some day...I just wish they had more colors available...
***UPDATE***my skin almost cleared up now....i don't know if it's because of this foundation...but one thing for sure, my skin got a lot better!!

I have used this foundation for years! I have tried a few different ones, but always come back to this! I am very fair skinned with pink undertones, and the ivory beige color is perfect. The coverage to me is very versatile-on good skin days it can be applied easily to provide a light, smooth coverage. And on days my skin is all red and broken out, it can be applied heavier and it always looks the same, VERY natural! I feel like this foundation lets my skin breathe, and I have never had a problem with it breaking me out. Like another reviewer said, I hope they never stop making this product!!!!

This is the best foundation I have found! I haven't used a lot, but this is the lightest and least goopy one! (even better than Clinique Stay True!) It has a slight moisturizing effect and doesn't make my extremely acne prone skin break out! I love this-and will probably use it for a long time! Yay!

I have been using this foundation for 15 years! Every time I'm seduced to try something different, I come running back to this product. I have basically clear skin nowadays, with an occasional blemish , but a bit of an uneven skin tone. This gives coverage, without the feeling of wearing foundation. Feels just like bare skin, but with incredible even-out power. I love it! Minimizes pores, looks and feels terrific! I will cry if they ever discontinue it!

This is an awesome foundation for my combo, acne-prone skin. It provides coverage that is heavy enough to cover red marks and blemishes, but light enough to look and feel like bare skin. With only occasional blotting, it lasts all day without turning my face into an oil slick. After years and years of use, this foundation has NEVER caused a breakout. Highly recommend this to anyone with acne-prone skin.
