Avon Extralasting Liquid Foundation

Posted on June 25, 2011 by Elaine
***Note: After I wrote this post I found out that the colour I had was Natural Beige and not Light Beige which is why it was so dark for me!  Sorry about that! ***

Avon has come out with a new line of makeup called “ExtraLasting” designed to do just that, last extra long!

From the Avon Canada website:

A Collection of long-wearing, multi-tasking, uncompromising makeup designed for busy women who don’t have time for touch-ups. The ExtraLasting Collection is all about color, comfort and confidence that your lipstick, foundation and mascara will stay put and not fade all day. The ExtraLasting Collection includes featherlight Liquid Foundation SPF12 with up to 18 hours of comfortable coverage for a face that’s always fresh, PLUS a new, expanded palette of 17 shades. ExtraLasting Lipstick and Lip Gloss look sensational from coffee to cocktails, with up to 8 hours of moisturizing color. Silky ExtraLasting Eyeshadow lasts 12 hours, and ExtraLasting Mascara is waterproof, transfer-proof and smudge-proof for 18 hours of full, fluttery lashes.

I’m only going to review the Extra Lasting Liquid Foundation with SPF 12 in this post since it’s the one I had the most doubts about.

I’m always quite skeptical of long lasting foundations since they usually feel really heavy on the skin and don’t look great.  I decided to test this one out while on vacation in Florida since I knew it would be humid!

The shade I got was light beige which is the 2nd lightest shade available.

You can see it has a yellow base to it.

Blended out – the colour is slightly dark for me but I had a bit more colour while in Florida so I was able to get away with it by blending it into my skin REALLY well.

Here is the ‘test’ for water resistance.  I ran my hand under water (without any rubbing) and here’s what happened.

IMG_2826
Kind of cool huh?  The water just kind of beaded off!  I have very oily skin so usually in humid weather it is such a battle for me to not look like a complete grease ball but I have to say this makeup held up REALLY well!  I kept checking my face all day (my husband must have thought I was being so vain!) and my makeup looked great!  I still need a bit of  touch ups on my forehead and nose where I have the most shine, but other than that the makeup stayed put and there was no evidence of it “sliding” off my face – even when wearing sunglasses!  Of course I had the usual sunglasses indent on my cheeks, but I wasn’t fixing any of my make up.  Pretty impressed!
I experimented further and tried to rub at it a little bit under the water:

IMG_2827

You can see it breaks up a little bit – I’m not positive but the white milky liquid could possibly be the sunscreen?

I found that I needed to almost ‘buff’ the foundation into the skin with my fingers to get the best finish.  I didn’t have a foundation brush with me in Florida – I didn’t plan on spending too much time putting on a lot of makeup so I didn’t bring all my tools!  But I found ‘buffing’ it in provided a nice natural finish with great coverage.  I was also able to use only one pump of this to cover my entire face – sometimes I even had some left over.

One warning – while this foundation is water and humidity RESISTANT it’s definitely not waterproof.  I found out the hard way when we went for a swim and I forgot I had a face full of make up on 😛

Avon Extra Lasting Liquid Foundation SPF 12 is definitely a heavier foundation than what I’m used to – I usually wear mineral powder foundation; but I’ve been looking for something with a bit more coverage.  If you’re someone who is used to wearing makeup and is looking for a good humidity resistant and long wearing foundation for summer I would recommend this one.  If you’re not used to wearing makeup I think you could still try this one out, but I would probably use it very lightly or just to cover up some of your problem areas.

I do wish Avon made a colour in between this one and the lightest colour which is Light Ivory which has a bit too much of a pink undertone for me.

Also note that I always wear a makeup primer – especially in hot humid weather so I didn’t try this foundation out on my bare face.  However, given the test I did on the back of my hand I think this product proves it actually is Extra Lasting!

What do you think about this product or other “long lasting” products?  Will you give this one a try?

Stay tuned for more reviews from this collection.

  • Fresh nails for Spring! This was my first time getting a dip powder mani. It was so interesting! Apparently it’ll last about 3-4 weeks. I like that I didn’t have to cure the nails with a UV lamp, and that there was less filing than with biogel. I decided not to go with extensions today, but that’s an option as well. So far I’m a fan! Do you prefer shellac, bio-gel, dip, or natural nails? —————————————————————————— #torontobeautyreviews #mytbrfave #tbrcontributors #springmani #dippowdernails #dipmanicure #toronto #torontonails #torontopr #dipnails #nailinspo #bluenails #shortnails #opidippowder #organicnailbar #organicnailbarto #kingwest #freshnails #nailstagram #simplenails #nailsalon
  • I got Botox! (Technically, I got Nuceiva, which is a different brand of neuromodulator, but does the same thing) I’ve been feeling uncomfortable with the fine lines on my forehead, and wanted to try out neuromodulators! It was easier and much less painful than I anticipated, but definitely was a bit of an emotional journey. ➡️ I got 24 units during this visit, at a cost of $11 each. (Cost will vary depending on brand of neuromodulator, the clinic you choose, and the person who does the treatment) ➡️ This treatment will probably last around 3 months, and then will
