Welcome back to my pale olive chronicles! Today we're diving into the new Chaso Revital Lescent Skin Glow Foundation - a skincare-focused formula with SPF 30, niacinamide, and fermented kefir that I'm genuinely excited to test out on my olive complexion.
I picked up shade 220 Linen and decided to start blending with my fingers - the true test for any foundation! The formula feels lightweight but promising, and I'm curious to see how it performs on my pale olive skin tone.

Initial Match Assessment & Oxidation
After initial application, I think this is a really good match! It does oxidize a little bit, which is common with many foundations, so I'm switching to my brush to build up the coverage and see how it settles.

That Glowy Sun-Kissed Finish
Wow, this finish is so glowy in the sun! The skin-like quality really shines through - it's definitely more along the lines of a skin tint than a full coverage foundation, but it's giving surprisingly good coverage while maintaining that natural, radiant look.

The Shade Dilemma Revealed
I'm noticing the color is a little bit off on my neck - it's leaning more peachy than my natural olive undertones. But honestly? It's so beautiful that I'm torn! The formula itself is performing beautifully, even if the shade match isn't perfect.
