Broke me out

I picked this up on special for $20. It comes in a squeezy tube which I like. I got the lightest shade as I am so pale.

This is extremely thick! It feels super heavy on my skin which I absolutely hate. The colour was just ok, I feel like it turns darker on me and looks so noticeable. My skin looks greasy within a few hours even though I have dry skin.

I got bad breakouts all over my cheeks and chin each time I wore this. It is just far too heavy for my skin and it would have to be up there in my top worst BB creams. Being a Revlon product I expected more. I would not bother trying this as there are so many amazing BB creams out there to try.

Amazing bb cream

Lightweight easy to apply cream. I found this one I can wear quite happily without any foundation on top. Leaves a tinted colour which has a little sparkle shimmery effect.

Tips: Needs to be shaken really well first as tends to separate if its not shaken

Revlon Photoready BB Cream

This is a great looking product. It comes in a silver/grey tube with a black lid. I have this in the medium colour.

This is my go to product when I am heading off to the gym on the weekend. I apply this and dont have to worry about any other products as it does 5 things for your skin at once. It will hydrate your skin, smoothes so you dont have to use a primer, coverage like a light foundation, blurs any flaws so no need for a concealer and has a great spf 30 in it so you are protected from the sun. A real multi purpose BB cream. It gives a lightish coverage which for me is good enough until I shower and do my full face.

This is also a great product for those days when you are maybe at home and dont want to do a full face of make up. It gives enough coverage to even out your skin tone.

This comes in 3 colour ways.

Tips: Give the tube a good shake before you use it.

Revlon Photoready BB cream

I must say,this product is good for concealing and coverage, although it is a tad oily for my skin.It does however glide on quite smoothly and you don't really need a moisteriser underneath or primer. This product stays on for quite a while and gives you a nice flawless look without using too much.Overall,it's pretty good but probably not the best for oily skin.

Tips: A little goes a long way!

Bb cream by revlon

Used this with the revlon primer today the translucent photo ready powder and photo ready consealer the light / pale shade is fairly light enough as long as you blend so theres no orangey lines it oxidation is very slight on my skin. This bb cream is fairly thick and it moisturizers. It also has a good spf sunscreen in it too. It can blur flaws but the coverage is not like a good foundation its sheer and light. It is not very buildable either. Your natural rosy cheeks and red blemishes will still shine through or you need to conseal. The feeling is creamyish would be good for dry skin if your oily you would not need to moisturize as it has one built in. I set it with powder as i used a little day cream and the primer and although the primer said antishine the bb cream did look shiny and dewy so the powder helped mattify. The makeup didnt last very well though by late afternoon my face had absorbed alot of it leaving my face looking patchy. If you want a light to medium coverage bb cream that hydrates this could be for you

formula is oily

Revlon photo ready bb cream

This was the first bb cream I had tried, and it wasn't too bad. It did everything a bb cream should do. It was hydrating like a light moisturiser and it gave good light coverage which hid a bit of my redness but not enough to cover my acne scars. Therefore I wouldn't quite so that it blurs flaws like a concealer would because you could still see my acne scars. I noticed that during the day this would slip off my face, so I find it helps to set it with powder if you want better coverage. I also like how this bb cream has SPF 30 which is higher than most foundations I have used, making it perfect to wear in the summer.

This bb cream has an oily texture, which is good if you have dry skin. Because the formula is oily you need to shake it before using the mix the cream up. I also found the consistency to be quite thick. I usually use my fingers to apply the cream, as it's quite easy to apply. I will use a stipple brush if I want a more air brushed application. I have this in the lightest shade and find this to be the right shade for my light, slightly olive skin.

Overall, this gave me the coverage I was expecting from a bb cream. However, I prefer the garnier bb cream as I like the texture better and it blends onto my skin well.

Tips: if you have oily skin and want this to last longer I recommend setting this with powder

Great SPF

This was the first BB Cream I ever used, and I loved it ... until I tried a different brand. This one's defining feature is the high spf, that's always a win in my book.

It tended to separate and was quite greasy though, and didn't last as long as I might have liked.

I got this BB Cream with other Revlon Photoready products, and it did work well when paired with those. Like I said, it was my first time using BB Cream, and it more-or-less did it's job.

Revlon photo ready bb cream

I was given this by a friend who got 2 of them in a clearance sale,I got it in medium and found it was very oily,I shook the tube first but the product came out with a coating of oil over it,I shook it again and when I applied the bb cream it sort of took abit to stay on my skin,the medium shade when built up was too dark,I am glad I never paid for it,it was a disapointment,the good thing about it was the tube it was in

I would have loved to love this

Buttttt.... For what it is firstly it is extremely overpriced for what it is It feels thick on, thicker than i even like my foundations to be. And it oxidizes.. So it looks great give it 10 minutes and you look like you got spray tanned-three times, lol It also had a really unappealing smell.. I feel sad that i can't get through this product because for the price I would have liked to. But Hey what works for some.

Nothing to rave about.

Am a BB cream lover from way back. I thought that I'd try this one and Ibwas sadly disappointed. The packaging looked good, the price was reasonable and I was feeling generous. I wish I'd tried a tester first as it is very runny and all day felt oily on my skin. My mascara stuck to it and smudged etc and it just wasn't the nicest product. I hate giving a not so nice review but this just didn't satisfy me. I'll try something else.
