Review:I have brought this from Walmart for $12 and I'm assuming it must of came out weeks or months ago. I know new items usually comes out to be like $20+ from Revlon. But yeap, this was a deal. But anyhow, I grabbed the 2nd lightest shade in 002 Vanilla. I have to say this is the best shade for me. Its not too dark or too light. And it adds a glow to my face. Firstly I applied the foundations with my fingers on my cheeks and work my way up. The pump is very easy to pump in any amount you want. I noticed it did have some sparkling glitter or sparkles in the foundation when I blended it onto my hand. Not a big problem because u can't notice it on your face when you blend the foundation. Also, this foundation dries very easily. You don't have to set it with powder or whatever it would take to set usual foundations. Foundation is medium to full coverage. Apply more foundation onto parts of your face that would need more coverage, such as the t-zone or around your nose, cheeks, eyes.
This is how it looks on my finger:
PROS:SPF 20 - from damage. Stays matte for 4-5 hours. May need to powder it up after that.Revlon also carries the powder and a translucent finisher, which I may buy in the future.
Great for a everyday look.Gives full coverage, when first applied.PURFect for photos. No clogging up pores!! Not to much $. You can possibly get it at any drugstore. Walgreens usually have the sales every other week on makeup products.
CONS:It has SPF 20, so when wearing it to take photos, you may look a bit whiter.Not many selections in range of colors.After 5+ hours, foundation starts to give way to skin, such as oil buildup around t-zone.So always bring a powder to set the foundation if wearing more than 4 hours.Does cake up after long period of wear.
Overall: I would definitely buy again. It lasts a bit better than my MAC Studio Tech foundation. And it gives me the perfect shade. My MAC Studio Tech foundation has been a bit cakey on my lately. And I noticed some color discoloration among my skin and the foundation. Comparing it to MAC - $30+ and Revlon - $12, a difference in $. So def. Revlon's PhotoReady is now my foundation for everyday wear, possibly until I find the perfect foundation for me. I'm not really a fan of Drugstore foundation, so yeah...Besides I don't have to ready set it with a powder till hours within. So I would def recommend it to you all.
