This foundation is awful. It gives skin a yellowish tone, doesn't blend well, and is very oily

yuck. it was too dewy and it made my pores feel clogged. I tried this bcuz i would love to look "photo ready" everyday and because i already use & love the revlon colorstay foundation. plus this stuff looked like I hadn't even put makeup on half way thru the day... took it back for a refund a week later..

I got this because my mom really enjoyed it for awhile until I told her how much glitter was in it! I would love this foundation if it didn't have so much glitter. I don't think any foundation should have glitter and I feel it emphasizes areas that you would rather not emphasize.

I bought this product in the compact formula, hoping for more coverage than the Bare Esscentuals that I've used for 10 years now. I was really excited to use it so I rushed right home and put it on right away. I'm very fair but I bought one shade darker than I thought I might need since it's spring and I knew my skin tone would get darker. When I put it on and stood back to look I was shocked! I looked like a corpse! My skin was dry and chalky looking and I don't have dry skin! The mineral powder that I have been wearing didn't make me look that parched! It accentuated all my lines. I'm very disappointed. I will be returning it tomorrow and trying the liquid instead.

The Revlon PhotoReady is a good product, in my view to persons who have little or no scarring and definitely no open pores. Firstly, this product does provide medium coverage and does help with my yellow skin undertone but the shimmer was not very wise since it highlights those open pores especially in the sunlight! With regard to stay power, it lasted longer on my sister who has dry skin with no open pores whereas I have oily skin, open pores and minimal scarring. After I wore it, it melted very quickly and began to look "caky" after I applied powder. It sank into my pores by mid afternoon and I was forced to wash it off since it began to highlight my flaws. This foundation was a bit expensive for me since I live in the Caribbean and Revlon products are considered high end. The bottle and pump is easy to use but a little messy. I would recommend this foundation for persons with dry skin who does not have open pores.

This foundation is really nice. It has a gorgeous dewy finish and an extensive range of shades for all skin tones. However, I have dry patches and large pores in some areas and this foundation is very thick so it sinks into and magnifies those areas (which sucks). I also have a love-hate relationship with the not-so-subtle sparkles in this makeup. In certain lighting you can end up looking like a Twilight vamp in the sun. Nice formula and color, but big sparkles and heaviness.

Revlon PhotoReady is medium to high coverage. It definitely does not give a natural, skin-like finish, which I prefer. However, it would look great for night time/formal events, where more makeup are tolerated. The foundation feels a little heavy on the face. Even so, it does not get greasy throughout the day, even on oily skin. Therefore the staying power is great. There are a lot of shades offered, so it's great for matching skin tones/colors. The bottle is somewhat inconvenient because oftentimes it leads to over-pouring the products, which is wasteful. I would reccommend it for special occasions but not everyday use.

This foundation for some reason wasn't for me I don't know if it's because of all the glitter that is has or the funny smell or the oily feeling even with my dry skin, it felt heavy on my skin, I just didn't like it

I had recently purchased this foundation and when looking at the bottle you can not tell how much glitter is really in it until you wear it on your face and look in the light. Way to much shimmer in this foundation for my liking. This foundation is always very heavy and thick. The foundation rubs off easily on clothes

Pros of this foundation: coverage, lasting power, shade selection, finish and ease of application This product goes on so smoothly doesn't matter if you use a beauty blender, flat top kabuki, stipple brush, buffing brush or even your fingers to apply. Every method of application works with this product. It does last for hours on me I'd have to say it lasts 8 hours or more. Shade selection is beautiful and great for women of South Asian skintone who often have trouble finding foundations with yellow undertones. I usually go with Golden Beige for my NC30-35 skintone. As for the finish its more on the dewy side so if you're someone who likes a more matte finish go with Revlon Colorstay original. Cons: the spf content and sparkle This product does not photograph well with flash photography. It leaves a bit of a white cast that makes your neck and face seem like two different colors. Also, although the glitter specks look nice on the cheek, sparkles on the tzone don't really look great on most of us and thus I find myself having to powder my face more often to camouflage the glitter effect.

My daughter uses this,she loves it.

Full coverage, good for night time use or formal events. I wore this in the daylight on a casual shopping spree and noticed that it was full coverage and rather heavy looking, even though it didn't feel like it. It's long lasting on my oily skin, which I liked. Since it almost looks like concealer coverage to me, I make sure to mix it into my moisturizer or primer to make it more of a natural coverage for day. I find that the colors offered blend into my skin tone better than some other brands.

I like this foundation

I really like this foundation. It is a little too dewy for my taste, but after I apply my transparent neutrogena shine powder, it works very well. It holds nicely and doesn't get flaky or gross later on in the day.

I bought this foundation after running out of L'Oreal True Match foundation. I was looking for one with a pump and came across this one. I tried it and liked and althought it does not give full coverage, it is buildable and that is always a plus. There is a tiny bit of shimmer and it was never enough to bother me or be quite obvious on my face. I've read reviews where it bothered some women but it was no biggie to me. Although I honestly don't see why it needs any shimmer at all. I have a very oily face and I don't believe there is a foundation that exists for my oily face but this one held up well. The colors can be a little tricky so be sure to study those well before purchasing. I actually had to combine 06 & 08 to match my skin perfectly.
