Revlon Photoready Perfecting Primer Review

I bought this primer to mix it up and Tty something new and instantly regretted it. It makes the skin feel nice when putting on but that's where it stops. After using it for a few days I noticed my face becoming incredibly dry and patchy. Also when you pump it there is 100% gonna be a hard chunk of dried up product that's been stuck in the pump every time you use which really annoys me

I agree with another reviewer here, it was nice when i put it on, Felt very smooth on my face. But as soon as the rest of my base was applied, it started to separate my foundation from the primer. It looked patchy and dry in some areas which wasn't the look i was originally going for. Perhaps just wasn't the match for my skin type.

Before using this product I had never used a primer before and I just used my day cream however I found my make up just wasn't lasting out the day. I really like this primer - a little goes a long way, However I don't think it quite acts like a primer should, I have quite sensitive skin and as soon as it touches my face I go red ( like I usually do with anything ) and my face does not appear any different HOWEVER in saying that it does make my make up last all day. It is nice and easy to apply and is a white velvet cream the texture. It is great for keeping my make up on but my face does not appear / feel any different "pre make up" certainly not worth the $38 I paid for it :(

The Revlon Photoready Primer is one of the first few primers I'd tried and used it for about 6 months. I'd first seen it in my local chemist, and thought I'd give it a whirl. At the time I think it was $36.99. I have combination skin as well. It is easy and pretty fool-proof to apply and you don't need a lot of product, I used one pump each time. After applying the primer, my face looks quite pale due to the light pink tint, but once you apply your foundation you wouldn't even know. I don't feel that with applying this primer my foundation lasted longer, or set better on my face. I have tried other well known brands of primers since and have found a few I really love, it's all about trial and error (eg. incredibly smooth, foundation more flawless and lasts longer). I think this primer is a bit on the pricey side too.

We bought this with a haul of other Revlon products for the purpose of salon use and doing ball make up. I used on my client and at first it seemed to stick to all her dry areas and left a white look on her face I took off and ensured her skin was well moisturized. The second time round it seemed to go on well and much better then when it came to blending the bottom part of her face it seemed to be peeling off and leaving flakes. I guess you need to get your foundation on fast and do not blend too much or this will happen. I have tried other primers and I much prefer them I took the Revlon one off once again and we used mine and had no problem. This primer comes in a handy pump like the photo ready foundations which we were using after the primer but it is not something I would buy again or tell anyone else to. Seeing the price above makes me wish I went with my gut instinct and decided against it. Has a big description but you can find others out there that will do that for less money.

I really used to like this primer, but recently, halfway through the bottle, it's started not working as well as it used to. I put it on lightly, blend it in, put Revlon foundation or BB cream on, then the primer starts showing white around my nose and eyebrows and lips. I try to blend that in and it just almost separates about an hour later anyway. It did work really well and smoothed my skin and m foundation sat on it really well in the first days I had it, but now I've had to move on. Also, it does not work with any other brands at all. Works best with Revlon products.

First off, I really like the packaging for this product. It sits nicely on my makeup counter looking sleek and has a pump dispenser! so much easier to get exactly what I want out but the downside is it doesn't save much product as the nozzle has a tendency to clog if not used for a few days which means wasting a pump to clear it properly. The primer itself is fairly thick so you do need to work with it quickly to get a smooth finish or it will just peel up if over worked. It definitely reduces the appearance of pores and fine lines when applied correctly and helps to blur imperfections, at first I didn't notice much so I took a photo with one side of my face primed and the other without which showed a noticeable difference. I'd probably get this product again to keep on hand as a back up or to give my skin a change but I wouldn't pay full price or recommend it for someone who wants something easy to throw on under foundation.

I'm not sure if this primer actually does much for me. It makes my skin very smooth and soft but for evening out skintone I'm not entirely sure if it does too much. I was told when I brought it it would even redness etc, It doesn't do this too well. However I use it as a base for my foundation as my skin is quite dry and I find if I put foundation straight on moisturizer my skin has a dry look to it, but with this primer inbetween I get a much smoother finish so would recommend for this reason.

I do like this primer, I think that it does do what it says it will do and I notice my makeup definitely does last longer when I use it.

However, I would say it is a pretty standard primer and for the price being around $30-40 in Farmers I would recommend spending a little bit extra to get something a slightly higher quality.
