Today I am publishing this review on Revlon Photoready foundation that comes with a mineral sunscreen to protect your skin from the sunlight. The foundation offers a silky texture with a shiny finish the blends in properly with your skin with a good coverage and lasting capability. It is always saddening to find people having a hard time searching their desired HG products, but I cannot explain how lucky I felt when I got my hands on Revlon Photoready Foundation.
Since I’ve been using this product for some months but I hardly found myself getting bored or tired of using it one more time. An extra push from the compliments that I received during my graduation day, the Revlon Photoready Foundation is one of the reasons behind the valise of happy memories which I pulled together on that unforgettable day.

The Packaging

The product comes with a simple, stylish and attractive packaging. Though the foundation is confined in a sleek, slim and see-through transparent glass bottle but on the darker side, the glass bottle seems less sturdy to carry and handle. The bottle comes with a pump top that makes it even easier for a nonstop application. Moreover, the bottle design is pretty hygienic as it prevents the over application of product without spilling or running through sides. Overall, I’ll give 7/10 for packaging, since the design is travel-friendly but being less sturdy, I doubt that the product may survive a fall.

Revlon PhotoReady's Range of Shades

Unlike other Revlon foundations, Revlon Photoready comes in a limited variety of shades and colors. You have to choose wisely from exceptional shades for both lighter and darker undertones. Photoready foundation is only offered with the following 12 shades:

• Ivory
• Vanilla
• Shell
• Nude
• Natural Beige
• Medium Beige
• Cool Beige
• Golden Beige
• Rich Ginger
• Caramel
• Cappuccino
• Mocha

 Having said that! The product comes in a mix of both warm and cool shades that blend perfectly with your skin complexion and conceals all types of skin imperfections. If you are looking for a foundation that can give fresh, beautiful and natural looking finish then, Revlon Photoready foundation can easily blend and settle down with the troublesome texture of your skin. Furthermore, this review is based on #001, Ivory shade with SPF-20.

 PhotoReady's Texture

The texture is neither too runny nor too cakey. It has a mediocre (light-fluid) texture that blends well with almost all skin types. Even the texture is so lightweight that it does not make you feel like wearing makeup at all. If you are searching for a luminous or light reflecting foundation for parties and proms then luckily, this product has everything you can ever wish. The Revlon Photoready Foundation has a balance of light reflecting shimmers that offer luminous and glowy effect on your skin. Needless to say that the product contains flashy glitters or eye-boosters but the product is confined to a balance of light reflecting pigments (shimmer particles). These shimmer particles offer natural looking finish with medium-to-full coverage (depending upon the application) on your skin.

How To Apply the PhotoReady Foundation

Depending upon your desired texture, the application of Revlon Photoready Foundation can happen to be your trickiest makeup job ever. For the medium/moderate coverage, you can use your hands (fingers I must say) to apply barely the foundation. For even greater and full coverage, you can go for brushes like the stippling brush for a Smokey airbrush effect.

Superb Lasting Power & Finishing

I must say I was really impressed with its staying power. Usually, I do not wear foundations for too long but when I am hitting the road or having a girls night out, I need something exactly like Revlon Photoready foundation. Its oil-free formula makes the foundation stay intact, even much longer throughout the day. So, if you are looking for a foundation with long lasting coverage and greater staying power, then trust me The Revlon Photoready Foundation promises to give your skin the flawless coverage up to 8 hours.
