Revlon PhotoReady Foundation Swatches & Review in Vanilla

Revlon PhotoReady Foundation is not matte, but it sure makes my skin dull and lifeless. I know there are slight shimmers built into the foundation, but they seriously do nothing for me. That is partially because the color I bought is too light for me, but also because it's a dense foundation - despite the light to medium coverage. PhotoReady is advertised to grant a dewy glow, but it feels heavy and greasy instead. I feel like a clown when I apply it generously. Of course it does it's job when you're posing in front of the camera, but I would rather go for something water-based for the summer.

This foundation was rather pale for me when I initially bought it, but it's completely unwearable now after my vacation at the beach. It looks like this foundation will be stored away until winter comes. And trust me, winter is coming. (Game of Thrones, anyone?)

Revlon PhotoReady Foundation Review Summary

Review by Katherine on June 5, 2012

Color: There are slight shimmers in this foundation to help achieve the "glow" you want in a photo. Despite that, I find the foundation too dull. I wish the shades would be expanded, although the shades are is decent for a drugstore foundation. For this type of foundation, you really can't get away with a shade that does not match well. Despite being "PhotoReady," it will make you look ghastly.

Application: This foundation applies smoothly and blends easily with hands or brushes. I don't recommend building it up. It is a medium and heavier foundation, but too much of it will make you look too cakey and made up.

Packaging: I love the pump on the foundation. It's efficient and sanitary!

Value: Decent price and worth it if you find a good color match.

It is a good foundation, but make sure to select the perfect match for your skin. 4/5
