For my brother’s wedding last year I was looking for a foundation which can give me picture perfect skin. I came to know about the Revlon photo ready, the name photo ready itself made my heart beat faster and so quickly I went to a nearby Revlon store to get it.
This particular foundation is compared by Revlon’s colourstay foundation a lot. I haven’t used the later but the PhotoReady surely stole my heart.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH REVLON PHOTOREADY MAKEUP FOUNDATION
Well I was wearing this foundation throughout my brother’s wedding functions and let me tell you that a lot of people praised me and asked the secret of the glowing face! Proudly I answered…it’s my brother’s wedding… (Duh)
Well the secret is my newly discovered The Revlon’s PhotoReady foundation which feels very light on my skin. It has nice runny consistency and therefore it can spread all over the face very quickly. It gives a matte finish and does not give whitish cast at all!
The gives medium coverage but its buildable. I applied it once in a day and then I knew that I don’t have to worry for the next 4 TO 5 hours at least. Isn’t that great! Yes little touch ups were needed as I have super oily face and the function’s oily food and fried things made me all the more oily, but whose complaining need not worry if you have something like photo ready! I covered the shine by a face powder. I was not using a primer but I am sure that with a primer underneath it can be applied for full day without worrying!
The only point which can scare someone is the shimmer particles in it. Actually I got really scared when I tried this foundation in the store. I asked the Sales agent that I will test it first. Willfully she applied it on my face. I was in the mall for around 3 hours and the shimmer particles almost disappeared after half an hour. I don’t have any problem with the shimmer particles actually. This was the first time I used a foundation which had these kinds of particles. Maybe I liked it because I bought it for a wedding function and a little glamour, shine and twinkling are always welcomed on such occasions…hehehhe…
TURN ON: REVLON PHOTOREADY MAKEUP FOUNDATION
1) It’s very light on face.
2) Didn’t break me out.
3) Coverage is Medium to buildable so can be used on various occasions.
4) Little amount is need so the 30 ml bottle goes a long way.
5) It gives a healthy glow on my face after the application of the foundation. Kind of a dewy look which I love.
6) The foundation on the face lasts long.
7) It blends well and nude is a kind of shade which is very close to my skin tone.
TURN OFF: REVLON PHOTOREADY MAKEUP FOUNDATION
1) Not many shades were available, the SA told me only few shades were launched in India and if that is true, a lot of people might find it difficult to get the best and suitable shade for them.
2) Though the shimmer particles didn’t bother me but it can be a concern for few.
COSMOCHICS RATING: 4/5
“INFO ON A SILVER PLATTER”- IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A HEALTHY GLOW MEDIUM COVERAGE FOUNDATION AND DON’T MIND THE SHIMMER, THEN YOU CAN GIVE REVLON’S PHOTOREADY A TRY.
