    For me this product was ok. It didn't really match my skin tone the color I got was caramel which was close but not right. Through the day it seemed to wear off really bad or melt. The coverage was nice but not as thick as I think the boast it to be.

    This stuff is great. I like it as much as my Mac makeup, it is very similar. Covers well, lasts all day.

    This is a cheap foundation that does the job for big events that will require a lot of photos. I've never worn foundation before in my life and the cosmetic lady at Shoppers recommended the Revlon PhotoReady Foundation to me. This stuff really does look amazing in photos, my skin looks flawless (I only have a bit of redness on my nose and cheeks, otherwise my complexion is pretty good) and a little dewy. But in person? I hate this foundation. It looks like I"m wearing a mask. Not natural at all. That might be the look some women go for, but I like a more natural pretty face, not an overdone face where it's clearly obvious you're wearing makeup.

    So while this was cheap and did the job, I would definitely not buy Revlon's PhotoReady Foundation again. I'll be on the look out for something a little more natural looking and preferably with less chemicals and unknown ingredients in the makeup.

    This product is amazing and I wish I could only list Pros, but unfortunately there is one huge con that I personally think ruins the product, and is the reason I won't be buying it again.

    Pros: Price was good, it was on sale for about $9. I like that it comes in a pump, the packaging reminded me of MakeUp Forever's foundation. I like the consistency, it is quite thin and buildable. It does not look cakey at all when applied, and it works well on my dry skin. The colour of the product matches my skin well and looks natural - I like the variety of colours offered by Revlon, I feel they match my fair skintone better than other drugstore brands (I bought it in 001 Ivory). There is no smell to this product and it doesn't make me breakout. It makes my skin look dewy and good.

    Cons: The first time I used the pump I was surprised how much product shot out! Far too much - but now that I know I can control the amount better. The *main* thing I dislike about this product is that it has shimmer in it! This would be my new go-to foundation, I would recommend it to everyone... if it weren't for the shimmer! It claims to be 'photoready' but I really don't know why they put shimmer in it! Your whole face doesn't need to be shiny and reflective in a photo, that's what highlighter is for. I feel weird wearing this product when I know someone will see my face close up (eg. boyfriend) because I'm expecting him to say at any moment.... why do you have glitter on your face. I want to love this product but I can't :( Why Revlon... WHYYYY?!

    A bit expensive for a drug store foundation, but is worth every penny. Flawless, doesn't need a beauty blender, brush works great with no stroke marks. Lots of shades to choose from. Would always recommended, and continue to use.

    I am one of those women that unless you know the year I'm born or you know me, my age is very hard to figure out. I used to use M.A.C. cream to powder foundation, it was the closest I could find to my complexion, without having to go to an ethnic retailer, which are sometimes out of the way. I didn't like the sponge that came with it, because of the unpleasant scent it retained after multiple usage and the oily film after wearing it for a couple of hours, especially in the summer. I decided to try different products including Sheercover, I'm sure you've all seen their infomercial, which their darkest colour was not even close to my complexion, NOT EVEN. Still paying for it though, some of the make up are beneficial for me.

    Revlon PhotoReady, mmmmmmm, I-am-loving-it. Ok for starters, I use my very well washed hands to apply the foundation to my forhead, each cheek and chin and spread from there. You don't need a lot seeing that it's a very light creamy texture. It feels very light and natural on, like you're not wearing any "cover up". It wears very well, there's no oily feeling for at least 6 hrs, for me anyway and my complexion is oily. It doesn't leave a mark if you touch your face and then your clothing, paper or any other surface and when I'm ready to wash it off I just use liquid soap or cleanser in my very well washed hands rub directly on my face in a circular motion, then rinse and not a speck of foundation is on my face or towel. Did I mention, that I love this foundation...

    I am in love with this foundation. It's goes on nice and easy and looks great. I'm so glad I pick this up instead of my brand I would normally get.

    this foundation is very full coverage and is blendable, I like this foundation but I would like to try the matte version and I think there was also one for oily skin I think one of them would be better. I find that there is a bit of a sparkle to the foundation and I do not like that. I prefer a matt to satin finish and no glitter so this product is not for me but I do really like the line of photoready products

    My one and only. I've tried alot of foundations and this is the one I liked best. It doesn't make my skin oily and doesn't leave it dry. All day wear. I wish the price was lower though for a drug store makeup
