Revlon PhotoReady Foundation Review

Okay so if you haven’t noticed, I am a pressed powder kind of girl. I tend to get very oily in the T-Zone so I stay far away from liquid foundations for fear of an oil slick.The last time I used a liquid foundation was back in 2005. I tried the Cover Girl Clean foundation in Toasted Almond and I liked it a lot. Unfortunately it became impossible to find the shade so I went back to my trusty pressed powders.When I heard about the Revlon Photo Ready Foundation, I was immediately interested. After seeing all of the great reviews all over the place, my interest turned into a lemming. Last week while in Rite Aid I saw that they were having a BOGO free sale for Revlon Face Products, so I picked up the PhotoReady Foundation and the Colorstay Foundation in Cappuccino. I have been using the PhotoReady Foundation for a week straight and so far, I really like it!

What it claims…

  • Indoors, outdoors and everywhere in between, get poreless, airbrushed skin in any light.
  • Photochromatic pigments bend and reflect light to erase every flaw.
  • Light-diffusing formula gives complete, yet virtually undetectable coverage.

My Experience
Before
6:30 am. Cleansed, toned, moisturized. As you can see I am still dealing with blemishes on my cheeks from my ordeal with the Clinique 3 Step System, but my skin has improved drastically.I didn’t use primer for this post as I wanted you guys to see the effects on clean, moisturized, “unprepped” skin.
Using one pump of the Revlon PhotoReady Foundation and my E.L.F. Studio Foundation Brush, I applied a light layer all over my face.
After
I would have to say that this is pretty good coverage.  I am left with a very natural finish that lasts all day and surprisingly does not leave me oily. I have not been touching up my makeup or using blotting sheets at all. So far I have not experienced any breakouts either. The Cappuccino shade blends in with my skin perfectly. For reference I am MAC NW45. The pump dispenses just the right amount of product and is very sanitary. It contains SPF 20 which is a big plus in my book, our skin needs as much protection from the sun as possible. Revlon Photo Ready foundations retails for $13.99 USD for 1 fl oz, but can frequently be found on BOGO. So far I am really enjoying this foundation and look forward to venturing out and trying other liquid foundations. Next up, Revlon Colorstay Foundation.
Since you are already here, I might as well show you my complete FOTD along with styled hair :)
