Revlon Photoready Two-Way Powder Foundation Review

RATING :- 7 OUT OF 10

Today i will review the Revlon Photoready Two-Way Powder Foundation. I got this sometime back, and have used this quite a number of times. It contains 9.1 gm of the product and costs INR Rs 1400. I got the powder foundation in shade 150 Natural Beige. It comes in an outer packaging made up of paper, black in color. The case is also solid matte black and made up of plastic, got a mirror inside and a sponge.

What Revlon claims about the Revlon Photoready Two-Way Powder Foundation ? : Revlon Photoready Two-Way Powder Foundation formula with light-filtering technology and soft focus pigments deliver an airbrushed look, wont settle into pores, for a flawless finish. Oil free. Fragrance free.

How to use ? : Apply evenly to face with wet or dry sponge, wet for higher coverage.

Ingredients : Talc, Mica, Bismuth Oxychloride, Nylon-12, Silica, Polymethyl Methacrylate, Zinc Stearate, Titanium Dioxide, Dimethicone, Polyethylene, Tocopheryl, Acetate, Lecithin, Ethylparaben, Methylparaben etc

Revlon Photoready Two-Way Powder Foundation is basically a foundation in powder form. It does not have any fragrance of its own. It provides light to medium coverage, since i have lot of acne scars, i still need a concealer to cover up those marks, this wont provide any cover to those marks. The packaging is quite travel-friendly. However, the entire packaging gets a bit dirty after use as you can see in the picture so hygiene is one issue.

Applying the foundation properly is the biggest challenge. I think i faced the similar issue with the Chambor powder foundation Brightening Smoothening Foundation Wet & Dry, but this is even worse. When i follow the instruction and use it with the wet sponge, it creates a very patchy splotchy look, and then i will have to go over to the places once again and apply the foundation with a dry sponge. And if i apply the foundation just with the dry sponge, it gives very very light coverage, just like a compact powder. So make sure you have a good concealer handy and also you have some time in your hand to apply the Revlon Photoready Two-Way Powder Foundation properly.

Revlon Photoready Two-Way Powder Foundation is an okayish powder foundation. If you are looking for something for the evening party look, this foundation fails to work properly. However, if its daytime and you want a softer look with minimal coverage then this foundation can work for you. Powder foundation is best for oily skin, and hence i tried this. In that field, this works pretty well and does not get much shiny or oily on face even after an hour and half.

Revlon Touch & Glow Moisturising Makeup REVIEW

RATING :- 6.5 OUT OF 10

I got this Revlon Touch & Glow Moisturising Makeup a year back or so, and did not use this much because i have oily skin, so dont need a moisturising foundation generally unless it is the winter season. However i kept the foundation in one corner of my vanity with care, knowing i would review it one day. The packaging is nothing special, just a small glass bottle with black plastic lid. However there is no leakage so you can carry this out safely. This costs INR Rs 280 for a 20 ml product. Quite affordable.

Ingredients : Titanium Dioxide, Butylene Glycol, Talc, Lanolin Alcohol.

What Revlon claims about Revlon Touch & Glow Moisturising Makeup? : Revlon’s Touch & Glow Foundation is a weightless formula that provides medium coverage while hydrating your skin and offering it a dewy finish.

Natural Radiant Look
The water-based formula goes smoothly over your skin and perfects your natural skin tone to keep you looking radiant.

Smoothes & Moisturises
This Makeup Foundation evens out skin texture and provides it with a touch of moisture.

Prevents Clogging of Pores
The formula is so smooth and lightweight that you needn’t worry about pores getting clogged.

Dewy Finish
The hydrating formula prevents caking and gives you a natural and dewy look so you look glowing and gorgeous all day long.

Revlon Touch & Glow Moisturising Makeup is an extremely runny foundation, so be careful while trying to get some foundation on your palm. As usual it does not have a nozzle or spatula so its hell difficult to get the right amount of product. It gives only light coverage so don’t expect it to cover any flaws on the skin. However its damn easy to blend it, and it absorbs real fast. However being oily skinned, i least like the shine or glow it gives on the face.

I got the ivory mist shade of the foundation, however Revlon Touch & Glow Moisturising Makeup comes in 4 shades – Ivory Mist, Rose Mist, Gold Mist, Natural Mist. I did not find my skin to breakout after using this foundation, but there is a fair chance of that happening since this is a moisturising makeup. But dry skinned girls would like to use this Revlon foundation as an everyday foundation. This adds a tad bit of shine which lasts for few hours and also makes the skin soft and supple. This is more like a tinted moisturiser rather than an actual foundation, i think.

REVIEW OF REVLON PHOTOREADY AIRBRUSH MOUSSE MAKEUP FOUNDATION

RATING – 8 OUT OF 10

I was bitten by the Revlon Photoready Airbrush Mousse Makeup Foundation bug when I got a free makeover from the Revlon counter in the month of May. It was so patchy sweaty hot, and the makeup fighted up against the odds, while I walked back all the way to my home in the evening after the makeover. Though the other things like lipgloss and blush from Revlon kind of melted out, but the foundation was intact!

I am a foundation freak. I generally use 2 to 3 types of foundation for my makeup, and skip concealer. I have acne spots, and I saw during the makeover that just a pump of the product made the spots appear less visible. I had some leftover cash this month (this is just 11^th of July, and my shopping fund for the month is almost over L) so I ran to the store and grabbed Revlon Photoready Airbrush Mousse Makeup Foundation.

Revlon Photoready Airbrush Mousse Makeup Foundation is pricey, and costs around INR Rs 1000 – 1300. These days different stores give different price tags to products, due to the system of discounts and membership offers. Texture is mousse like but very lightweight. Be assured of that, it feels you are wearing almost nothing on your face. Like it a lot! The packaging is decent, comes with a pump dispenser. I apply with a sponge, and the texture is quite liquidy or runny as you may say. I generally start with just a pump, and then gradually build up the coverage.

Revlon Photoready Airbrush Mousse Makeup Foundation is long lasting, and stays easily whole day. But you might need to use tissues at times if you have oily skin. It gives a glowy finish to the skin, which I feel is not-so-good for pictures. So I use a loose powder or pressed powder over the foundation, which makes my face matte. Plus the packaging is quite travel-friendly.

But if you are a dry-skinned beauty, just use a good moisturiser before applying Revlon Photoready Airbrush Mousse Makeup Foundation. Also even though its so pricey, it does not give a flawless skin, I need another foundation to cover up the dark spots and areas. The coverage is just medium. It makes the spots less visible but not invisible.

REVLON Colorstay Mineral Foundation review

RATING - 7 OUT OF 10

Fashionistas and muas are in love with mineral makeup. It gives great coverage, found in powder form, suitable for acne-prone oily sensitive skin.

Revlon mineral foundation is a loose powder, which is very light, ideal for daily use, lasts for long hours. Provides nice coverage, although its not full coverage. No fading, or streaking. It has got SPF 10. And is matte, non oily. Comes in 8 shades.

Cleanse your face with face-wash, then apply the foundation with a large powder brush. Dont forget to tap off the excess powder before applying! Available in drugstore, and is priced around US $ 14.

You have to twist the black lid of the product to open it, the brush is below the lid attached with it. The foundation blends really well. You will get a satin like finish. If you need more coverage, you can first apply a liquid or cream foundation and then set it, with the revlon product.

Now talking about the negative points : the foundation makes my skin greasy after 2 to 3 hours, though it claims to be lasting upto 16 hours. If you want to cover up your acne scars and pigmentation, you need to apply concealer. Simply using this foundation wont help you at all! It comes in a fat jar, so little difficult to carry it in your handbag. If more of the foundation is applied, it can make your face look chalky, so beware of that. Rather expensive, since i generally have to use it as a loose powder only. I have a lot of scars and pimples, so this product fails to impress me!

So just a tip gals, if you have bought this foundation, i would suggest not to apply directly. First apply another cream or liquid foundation, you can also use a concealer after that. And finally, sweep some Revlon mineral foundation all over your face.
