Revlon PhotoReady Foundation – My Thoughts…

Apologies if you have gotten this twice... for some reason it posted before I was finished... grrrrr

Rather then call this a review, i'd rather call it my thoughts as it's more about how it has done for me.

I bought this awhile ago now and wanted to fully trial it before giving any thoughts on the product.

Here is a picture of the bottle (not my own, it's from http://www.revlon.com.au/)

This is what the Revlon site has to say about this foundation -

•Delivers soft, luminous airbrushed finish in any light



•Photochromatic pigments bend, reflect and diffuse light to erase every flaw


•Complete yet undetectable coverage


•Oil free, Fragrance Free


•SPF 20

Onto my thoughts about it, for a bit of background on my skin it is quite dry and especially at the moment since the weather has gotten colder in Sydney. I also have quite a bit of redness in my cheeks so I need a fairly decent coverage foundation to cover that up.

I apply this one with my fingers, it blends quite easily and it doesn't set as quick as the ColorStay foundation. I found the coverage was a light/medium coverage on my skin which for me is okay for weekends when i'm going to the shops and only want a little bit of makeup on (if any at all). However for work I like to look more "polished" so prefer my ColourStay as it has a better coverage.

I also found that this foundation enhanced the dryness to my skin a little and that I don't like.

Quite a few people have mentioned the "sparkle" factor in this as well, I didn't notice myself looking like a Cullen in the sun however up really really close I noticed a slight shimmer. I didn't hate it though!

As for how it photographs, I apologize I don't have any pictures of me with this on... I think I deleted the ones off my camera I took a little while ago. I honestly don't really notice a difference anyway to any other foundation that I use.

Overall it isn't a bad foundation, would I repurchase? No... For one thing Revlon is quite expensive here in Australia, correct me if i'm wrong but the RRP of PhotoReady here is $37.95, that's certainly not "cheap" in my books. The good thing though is you can often get deals at the department stores and Priceline, I got mine with a free eye product of my choice so that sweetened the deal a little.

Have you tried out this foundation and did it work for you?
