Revlon Photoready Foundation ~ Review, pictures and swatches

Revlon is my favorite drug store makeup brand , well most of you must be knowing this, but this is the first time I am slightly disappointed, like how I am disappointed with the season 7 of HIMYM , love it but still made me wee bit sad :\

I bought this foundation a few weeks back and have been using it on and off since then ..

This is what I have to say about this.

You see something in person and then you see the same thing in a picture,,most of the times we get attracted to things which we get to see in person more than when we see it in a picture,, BUT !! with me its drastically opposite this time..

When I wear this foundation and see myself in mirror I find it not worthy of the 850 bucks I paid for it,, its kinda patchy looking and is hard to blend with fingers. But when you see yourself in a picture of yours with this foundation on your face you are going to love it..
I guess that is why it is called a Photoready foundation.

The shade I got is 003 Shell Coquillage and it matches my skin tone pretty well. The only thing is like,, it needs a good blending.

There is some sheen in this foundation which looks very very pretty even in day light. Its not super shimmery , it just makes my skin glow beautifully.

It is not for dry skin girls , it will make their skin look patchy, I have dry cheeks these days and even after applying a good moisturizer on to it and then wearing this foundation the dry patches were quite prominent and you never expect this from such a raved foundation.

The consistency of this foundation is slightly runny and I guess it will work best with a stippling brush.
The packaging of this product is very good, I like the pump it has, one pump is enough for your face.
It also has SPF 20 and that is borderline good for flash photography.

I like how it is not a full coverage foundation,,I feel plasticky with full coverage foundations.

Overall this is a foundation which will make your skin look perfect , all dewy and glowing in pictures,, it might make your skin look blotchy in person,,I guess its all due  to its consistency,,,

The things good ~

1. Medium coverage foundation,,yes its a good thing for me.

2. I like how it makes my skin look dewy and not sparkly!!

3. It photographs beautifully

4. Has SPF 20

5. The bottle is very handy and travel friendly

6. A pump is enough for one time application


The Things not so good ~

1. Looks blotchy when you see yourself in mirror

2. Not suitable for dry skin girls

3. Just 3 shades ~ :\

4. Hard to blend,,you need a good brush to blend it, say a stippling brush.


Price : 850 INR

Quantity : 30 ml or 1 FL. Oz.


Recommendation : Yes if you are loved by paparazzi  ;) , no If you think It can be you daily foundation. Dry skin people may find it a bit problematic.

Best Buy January ~ Revlon Photo Ready Foundation ~ and a free gift :)

I shopped quite allot in January and at the end of it I felt like crap !! I bought things that I am going to use seldom and the worst part of it being that they were pricey. Now I am on hold on shopping for makeup and m concentrating more on accessories. (yes !! I need them.. I swear !! )

But then,  all I have been doing since a good 6-8 months was finding a good foundation for parties and likes.
Since I am going to attend a very special party in a couple of days all I wanted was a good foundation :) . I wanted to see my skin looking good but yes not too much of coverage,, in a full coverage foundation I don't find me looking like me ;) ,, so this is what I bought.. Revlon Photo ready foundation .

Along with it I bought a colorburst lipstick too,, its price has increased : \

So I was at the counter and the lady said ma'am the price of the lipstick has increased and I was like acha !! , but since it is not much of a price rise so I bought it, it's a different story how I have managed  to pick similar shade again.(I now have 3 similar looking shades and I am not much happy with it). :p

But yes, I got something free too.. Its a pretty floral pouch by Revlon :) :)
I don't knw what sort of offer it came with, but I got it with these two products I got.

It has one huge zipped compartment, a Velcro flap compartment and a open pocket on the back side.
I like the pattern it has,,and yes purple is my favorite color since I was like 2 or something.. :D
quality is nice and the best part is that its too roomy !! good for girls like us ;)
