ABOUT ME: My name is Shelly and I’m a 51-year-old web geek that jumped off the deep end into the makeup and beauty world. I’ve got normal to dry skin, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage. Cameo appearances by my rescue cats Ziva and Charlie (both girls). Fly free, Daffy, the best Daff ever. I will miss you forever.

I purchase most products shown on my channel myself. Occasionally I receive PR, products that were gifted to me with no obligations to review them, which I state verbally when applicable. I was not paid by any product provider to make this video. Paid product placements will always be indicated in writing and verbally; I rarely do them. All opinions are honest and my own. When you shop products from within my videos/links, I earn a small commission at no cost to you. I appreciate your support of my work!

Today I’m checking out the Revlon PhotoReady Lift & Fill Skin Tint in shade 100 Fair. Let’s see how it applies and wears on dry skin over 40. All products linked below. #foundationfest #makeupover40

Revlon PhotoReady Lift & Fill Skin Tint in shade 100 Fair $17.99 – https://go.magik.ly/ml/3ei4i/

Revlon is not a cruelty free brand as they do sell in mainland China where animal testing is required by law (though some of those laws are changing!).
