Foundation Day: Revlon Photoready

Its a FOUNDATION DAY!!!

Iam so OBSESS with foundations! Im always interested of types of foundations out there especially cheap drugstore foundations, Ugh... 

And ofcourse Revlon has been a title holder for king of Foundations. Cheap and great quality!

One of their foundations that i loved to try is the famous

REVLON PHOTOREADY MAKEUP

Its a good thing it came out with a pump. I find this more hygienic to use than the spill prone bottles which i soooo hate! With this pump you can control the amount you need without wasting some excess and you dont need to expose the liquid foundation inside from the air that may cause bacterial growth.  

I got mine in the shade 004 Nude which is a hit shade for me especially if I havent tried or swatched a foundation it always hits my skin color perfectly. I'am a Pilina pale not american pale thats why i didn't get the lightest shade which is 001 Ivory. There are ten shades to choose from. Quite limited but you can mix them up to formulate the type of shade you wanted.

Here's a chart created by Miss Wan from Fashion Is My Crush Blog. A guide to find the perfect match of Photoready foundation for your skin color. If you know your MAC skin color you can also use this too.

Some tips on using the chart above according to Miss Wan:

Hope that was helpful :)
Moving on,
Here, no flash. It blends beautifully on my skin. As you can see it has a dewy effect which means this is perfect for dry skin types such as me.  Oily skin beware you may end up looking like a grease ball.

With Flash. 

This is the downfall of Photoready which everyone is complaining about. The shimmers. At first i cant see the shimmers everyone was talking about but when you really look at it you can see FINE shimmers like specs of shimmers. They are not glittery looking. Obviously you cant use this for flash photography except if you wanna look like a disco ball, be my guest. But other than that your good to go.:)

1. Packaging is great. Travel friendly plus the PUMP!
2. Its a light to medium coverage foundation. Doesn't feel heavy on the skin.
3.Great for dry skin. Love dewy finish foundations. Healthy looking complexion. Great to use for everyday except for flash photography!
4. Scent is ok, I cant smell anything awful.
5. Not cakey at all.
6.  Great price for a wonderful quality!


1. Shimmers for flash photography. Not good especially its called "Photoready".
2. Limited shade selections.
