It took me a long time to try Revlon PhotReady just because I had several that I hadn't finish yet. After hearing some good reviews I couldn't help myself and bought it.
This foundation had some really good qualities about it. Revlon hit a home run with the packaging. I think most who wear liquid foundation wish that their foundation came with a pump. The pump keeps things from getting messy and keeps from wasting product. It's works smoothly so you have perfect control of how much you want to pump out.
Another great thing about this product is that it's fragrance free and has SPF 20. If you've tried Revlon ColorStay, you know that it has a terrible smell. Why? I don't know. PhotoReady is not that way. Not that anyone is going to be smelling you're face anytime soon but it's one less thing to think about. Sometimes fragrances can cause breakouts or irritations on the skin. The SPF 20 is one of the highest I've seen for foundation. Sun protection is always good.
So what about the actual product? I was a toss up for me. It gives about a medium coverage. I thought it was pretty long lasting (5-6 hrs) without being heavy or thick. However, this foundation has shimmery specks mixed in it. The good thing about it is that if gives you a soft focus/ glow to your face. The bad thing is, it makes you look very shimmery in sunlight (via vampire from Twilight). It was ridiculous how shimmery I looked. Indoor in artificial or natural light it looks fine but once you step outside, you're a walking sparkle. It's a shame because it does have SPF 20 and I don't want to go outside using this foundation. It's called PhotoReady, so how does it look in pictures? In pictures, indoors or out, it give a soft focus and glow effect to your face. The shimmer isn't as obvious. You don't look fresh faced or dewy, it's more like Photoshop and you placed the glow effect. I didn't think that was a bad thing but other people might feel different. I also notice that with this foundation I notice dry patches on my skin more then I do with my other foundations.
So would I buy Revlon PhotoReady again? No. It's not a bad foundation but I wasn't wowed enough to try it again.

Thanks, your blog looks amazing, I've been doing some blogging too, only a novice still xx
