Love the Airbrushed look

5

This is amazing! It blends in so smoothly. It really does make it look like the makeup is "airbrushed" on. I love it. Definitely recommend it!

Primer with subtle color

4

Revlon Photoready Pore Reducing Primer was silky and a fresh nude tone. It applied transparent and gave a powder like soft feel to the face. I loved how my coverup paired nicely with it and didn't creaet a cake like feel. It gave my overall makeup look clean and photo perfect. The difference was noticeable.

Worth It

5

Revlon Photo ready is the first foundation I've ever worn (always been a pressed powder girl), and I bought it for my engagement photos as I wanted something with the airbrush effect. Not only do I love it and have worn it every day since the shoot, but my friends loved it so much and bought some as well, they also liked that it gives you a glamour show appearance !!.

Not very "Photo Ready" - questionable coverage and longetivity

3

I was disappointed with this product. It's not the worst foundation out there but I will not be repurchasing again. It may have buildable coverage but it does not last long on the skin, even when primed and set with powder or spray. I did not have any issues with the glitter that people have complained about online. It does not oxidize unflatteringly, which I've found is a common trait in most drugstore foundations for my lighter Asian skin. It also highlights any dry patches or pores on the skin. I've tried using brushes, sponges, fingers, you name it--but I can never get a nice finish or coverage. I have acne-prone, combination, sensitive skin. This product does not break me out or leave me with any blemishes. It does not cover my scars or redness very well and leaves my skin feeling to dry. I did appreciate that the bottle comes up with a pump and the line offers a variety of colors.

Clean, full coverage makeup

4

Revlon's PhotoReady makeup is great for a full-coverage look, without looking too heavy or covered up. I like my makeup to conceal redness, and this foundation is perfect. It doesn't look too thick and greasy on my skin, but it still conceals and covers all of my imperfections. One qualm I would have about the Revlon PhotoReady Makeup is that it doesn't come in too many shades. My friends who have darker skin tones have had trouble finding a tone that matches their skin exactly. However, it is fine for me and I was able to match my skin tone nearly exactly. I love the packaging on the Revlon bottle as well. It's great for traveling with as it is a durable bottle that doesn't break and fits in my carry-on with ease. The product also has a really nice scent to it - it's light and airy and doesn't have the chemical smell some foundations can have. Overall I am a fan of this product!

Way too glittery for a face makeup.

3

When I am not in the bright lights of my bathroom or outside in sunlight, this foundation looks pretty good! It makes my face look really smooth color wise. It evens out my skin tone and hides dark marks and dark circles and veins. It does not cover acne the best, but it is okay for small pimples. It has a natural finish that is somewhat matte but does not look like your face has no moisture. It lasts pretty long if I set it with a powder, probably seven hours without having to retouch. It settles into the lines of my forehead if I do a lot of smiling and moving my face. It also comes off around my cupid's bow if I drink water from a bottle not a straw. That being said, it does not last if I am sweating. I wouldn't want to wear this when I'm out in sunny weather anyways though, because it is extremely sparkly! It looks like I used a glittery powder to set my makeup. I would not want to wear this in photos because my face would probably light up compared to anyone else in the picture.

Made me look like a 'Twilight' vampire

3

You know how Twilight's Edward Cullen is always described as sparking in the sun? That's how this foundation made me look. There are tiny light-reflective sparkles in this product that upon application are invisible, but in the sun are super apparent. Every time I wore this product, my friends would ask me why I had glitter all over my face. Not a question I ever appreciated answering. It's a shame that this foundation makes me a disco ball because the formulation is actually quite incredible. The coverage is medium, so I found it easy to wear this product lightly on no-makeup days and heavier on bad skin days. It never looked cakey or fake (despite the sparkles.) I found that I got great wear out of this foundation, as well. Most days, I got a good 9-10 hours out of the PhotoReady on my combination skin. The foundation itself is great, but the crazy sparkling made me drop the rating so much. Skin sparkling in the sun is only sexy in Twilight.

Perfect Primer!

5

I bought this primer because I was going to a party and I knew there would be a lot of dancing, so I wanted to be sure my makeup was locked in place. Although this is a little pricey for a drug store product, it is worth every penny. The packaging of this product is very high quality (it is in a glass jar with a pump that dispenses just enough product to cover the face). Once applying one pump of this product to my bare face, I instantly notice that it balances discoloration, instantly neutralizing redness. When I applied my foundation and concealer, it was incredibly easy because this primer really made my face a smooth surface to apply my makeup. All through the night, my makeup stayed on my face and by the end of the night, my make up looked as if I had just put it on. Sometimes, I use this primer alone without any foundation because it evens out my skin tone and it keeps my concealer in place all day. This is a great product, and is probably the best drug store primer on the market.
