Revlon PhotoReady Foundation Review

Hello All! 
Okay, this was a purchase I made about 2 years ago which I bought for my year 12 formal and must I say, I do not regret it one insy bit! You'll see why!

  • Price: If I remember correctly, it was around $35AUD for 30ml
  • Packaging: 6/10. 6 Because it's a pump but also because my pump broke on me 
  • Longevity: 9/10 Well it lasted me throughout the entire formal night! So what can I say? 
  • Overall: 9/10. Best. Drugstore. Foundation. Ever. Period. 
  • Note: I'm a MAC NC30 and NARS Medium1 Punjab
Pros

  • Easily blendable 
  • Great with my sensitive skin! Even when it's dry/oily
  • Works wonders with my combination skin during that heated season
  • Even though with a SPF 20, didn't cause any white cask in my photos! It looks amazingly natural in photos (also I didn't apply primer, I just applied a strong moisturizer. Some of those who did apply primer did seem to get a white cask. I however did not because I only moisturized) - see why they call it photoready foundation? :P
  • Did not cause too much shine for me, even if it did, I would just reduce it with a blot powder.
  • Great low to medium coverage with a natural sheer matte finish. Didn't look cakey!
Cons

  • My pump broke on me :( 
  • Can be a bit greasy and oily towards the end - just use a blot powder/paper :). Some people say it causes A LOT of shine but again blot it out. 
Overall

  • Great for my sensitive skin! Dry/Oily/Combination - You said it!
