Revlon Photoready foundation-Review, Swatches & photos(how to apply through a simple tutorial by pictures)

Hi ladies,

Hope everyone is doing well!!

As many of my readers already know that one of my favorite makeup brands is Revlon for sure!! My foundation, compacts, concealer, eyeliner, favorite lip shades etc etc…are all from Revlon as their products have never disappointed me.

Quite recently I’d reviewed Revlon Colorstay foundation and through that review you must have got an idea about how much I adore that foundation.

I was very excited on seeing Revlon’s Photoready range being launched in India as all the products in that range just looked fabulous. And now I’m just more than happy to review this Revlon Photoready foundation. Take a look guys and see what I have to say about this new Photoready foundation-

What it claims:

Application Tips:

Press pump to disperse formula. Apply with fingertips starting in the center of face and blend outward.

Packaging:

Love the packaging!! It comes in a sturdy pump out bottle of 30ml. The bottle with a black cap looks very sleek and beautiful and the pump enables you to take out as much as you require. The only thing is that it’s a glass bottle so may face some inconvenience in carrying it around which was surely not a problem in the Colorstay Active Light makeup foundation.

In the mirror of my experience:

After a fab experience with the Revlon Colorstay range-it’s foundation, concealer and compact, I decided to try out their Photoready range. I got this foundation just around 2 days ago and have applied it once and took some pics. And I was just amazed at the fact that it blended and got absorbed into my skin so flawlessly and spread very quickly covering the whole of the face within seconds!! It feels so light and gives an awesome coverage which is even more than the Colorstay foundation. It also gave a lovely shine and glow to my face which evidently showed in the photos. So I would say that once I wear this I’m Photoready!!

The good pints:

• As I’ve mentioned, that this thing just spread all over my face within seconds and it blended really flawlessly and smoothly.
• The texture is very fine and it seems as if I haven’t worn any foundation.
• It never ever broke me out.
• It has medium to build able coverage. I would say the coverage is pretty good. I don’t need any concealer after wearing this foundation. But if one has noticeable spots on the face, a light touch of concealer application will be enough.
• In spite of it’s impressive coverage, it’s amazingly light weight which is really specialty of this foundation.
• This foundation is especially designed for photography, and I think it works finely on the skin.
• It gives a clear glow which shows in the photographs and after using and taking pictures I can say that it’s really one of the best foundations for photography.
• It gives a flawless, soft, dewy & non cakey coverage.
• It comes in a sturdy pump bottle. The bottle is beautiful and easy to use.
• It has SPF 20 which is a fact that I love.
• And yes, it gives a hint of "glow", which others call it a bit of shimmer( oh I love this glow)
• No streaking and no allergies or breakouts.
• Very easy to blend with both brush and sponges
• I can mix with other foundation. I’m thinking to mix it with my ColorStay foundation for try.
• It has no weird scent.
• It holds up quite well in summers, does not oil up.
• It works well on both dry and oily skin. This can be clear by the fact that even my sis got it 3-4 days ago and she is very glad to have it for her oily skin.

• 

Bad points

• It’s not as light weight as my ColorStay Active Makeup foundation but if you want a full coverage, you can find it best.

• If you are office going and want a light coverage, it’s not for you.

• Only 4 shades are available in India so be very careful while choosing your shade.

Final thoughts

I really do love this foundation coz it has an amazing coverage without feeling heavy on the skin. The shine in this is great if you want that youthful, healthy glow. If you don’t want much glow in your photograph, you can set it and reduce the shine with Revlon PhotoReady Pressed Powder. Many people do compare it with MUFE HD foundation as well so one can say that this is a drugstore version of HD makeup. If I compare it with Revlon ColorStay liquid foundation, I find both of them amazing.

Celebrity Makeup look #3 - Aishwarya Rai

I always love traditional makeup and outfit. They give us an innocent look which one can rarely get from modern or western outfits. You will often see me in traditional looks. This picture of bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai really attracted me and I was compelled to select it for my celebrity look post.

The makeup on her face here is very pretty and making her look innocent & fresh. So now you want to know that if I do this makeup with some limited makeup stuff which I have, what cosmetics I’ll use for this look. So take a look:

Face-

For the face I’ll choose my Chambor liquid foundation to apply all over my face but before that I’ll not forget to apply a good moisturizer under it. I have 4 foundations at present but Chambor’s shade is the exact one like this look. Then concealer..and Revlon Colorstay will be the best for me. A light touch of my Naturactor pressed powder will give the final finish to my face.

Eyes-

For my eyes, I’ll prime my eyes with Chambor stick foundation then apply a peach shade from Dare to Dream palette from Oriflame on the inner corner of my lids. Then I’ll apply some shimmer brown shadow from Chambor trio on the outer corner of lids. On the middle part of my lids, I’ll apply light gold shadow from Oriflame palette &the same shade will be on my brow bone and then I’ll blend them softly.

I’ll define my eyes with Mac gel eyeliner and wear my Revlon eyelashes and give them shape with Maybeline Colossal mascara. I’ll apply black kohl from Revlon in my waterline and comb my brow to give a final touch.

Cheeks-

First of all I’ll use Mac Sur blush on my cheeks and then highlight them with Mac Trace Me Gold blush and blend them well.

Lips-

Here I’ll make an outline of my lips with the lip liner from Colobar then apply two lipsticks’ mixture to get the right shade of Aishwarya’s lips. First a very light touch of the lipstick from Chambor Ultimate Matte long lasting and then a nude shade lipstick from MUFE #24 and I’M DONE!!

That was the way to get this makeup look of Aishwarya Rai…what about you? Have you got any suggestions for this look. I’ll really want to know so please don’t hesitate to give your precious advise for this look!!

Celebrity makeup 2- Katrina Kaif

See this picture. What do you feel? Don’t you appreciate her makeup artist? Makeup which brightens and beautifies your face and yet doesn’t show. Natural makeup can make amazing changes in our faces.

No doubt that Katrina Kaif is naturally beautiful but wrong makeup often destroys her beauty but right makeup grows her beauty like a bright moon.

In this picture Katrina has wore a white outfit and done a subtle and lovely makeup.

So if I try this makeup on my face what products will I use, take a look.

Face-

Moisturize my face with Shamoist first

Apply Revlon Color stay foundation on my face then a light touch of Revlon colorstay concealer wherever I need it. A light touch of Revlon mineral powder as well.

Eyes-

Chambor stick foundation to prime my eyes

I’ll take a light peach shade from my VOV palette, apply all over the lids and will spread it in the outer corner of my eyes, then take silvery white shade for the brow bone, apply and then blend them perfectly. I’ll apply a thin line of peach shade in the lower lash line. I’ll not apply eyeliner here, but wear a natural eye lashes from Revlon or ES brand. I’ll apply one coat of mascara from Revlon.

Cheeks-

I’ll apply light peach blush from Chambor blush duo and blend it.

Lips-

I’ll use peach Revlon lip liner for outlining my lips then fill it with a nude lip-gloss from Lakme.

So this was today’s Sunday celebrity makeup post…hope you liked it. Will be back a new celebrity post next week.

Celebrity Makeup 1- Angelina Jolie

Today I saw this picture while searching the net and I had to stop here to see this picture of Angelina Jolie. She has always been one of my favorite actresses in Hollywood. I always admire her makeup and style. I’ve never seen her with too much makeup and this is the fact which I like about her. Her makeup style is always natural and simple but very elegant. I don’t remember seeing her in any picture in which her makeup and style doesn’t suit her. She has done very light natural makeup on her face. I love the makeup which doesn’t show much on our faces but makes our face noticeable too. For a moment, I thought that if I try to copy this look, I’ll need this stuff for it.



Face-
Revlon Colorstay foundation
Revlon concealer
Chambor Silver shadow compact (very light touch only to cover up the shining part of the face)
Cheeks-
I can’t see any touch of blush here on her cheeks but you can give a very light touch of the beauty powder of V.V range of Mac
Or Revlon illuminator
Eyes-
Eye concealer by Oriflame or any eye primer
A natural shade of eye shadow from the Chamber trio Bronze on the lids
Revlon colorstay black eyeliner on the upper lids
Black eye shadow for smudging the half of the lower lash line from Maxfactor single eye shadow
Revlon false eye lashes
Lips-
Colorbar natural shade lip gloss 002
I’ll really love to do this look. What do you think about this? Do you like this natural look? If yes, you should surely try this
