Revlon Photoready Perfecting Primer Review

Goes on nicely and helps with blending of foundation, but it’s not great for sensitive skin. Goes a long way with a tiny pump.

Got given this by a friend of mine as she no longer used it, I don't buy much, if anything from Revlon so was excited to give this brand a good proper go. I loved the way this product felt as it was so smooth and soft when I pumped it onto my hand to apply. On the skin it blended in well and I didn't need to use much to cover my face, it made my skin feel smooth and made foundation apply so much better. Definitely want to try more Revlon skin products.

I recently was given this revlon photo ready primer by a friend. The first time i used it i noticed it was a very nice smooth consistency and seemed to go on the skin nicely. It helped to moisturise my face a bit before i applied my foundation and left a slight shine to my face. I didn't need to use too much either, just one to two pumps.

I began using this start of 2013, it was the first primer I had ever tried and didn't really know what to look for in a primer. I though it was okay, it didn't really do too much but it made my makeup last a little longer than usual so I was happy (that was in conjunction with the photoready foundation). I used this with numerous Bourjois foundations, Rimmel and Covergirl. I was never satisfied with the end result. Until now. I started using Revlon Colorstay at the start of this year and when I use both products together my skin is a dream, it stays matte - but not cakey looking, I stay shine free for 4 hours and can go most of the day without touching up. I am in love with this combination and I'm almost out of this primer. I have the Monistat chafing gel to try out but if that doesn't work I will definitely repurchase this.

For the price you pay for this there are quite a few options on the market.. Would I choose this over the others.. Probably not. Do I think this is a good product? Not convinced.

This is a very generous sized bottle (glass) with a pump that dispenses a reasonable amount.. I usually require two for my skin. It glides on kind of like a moisturizer (bit of a colored film left behind) but soon blends into the skin.. I do think towards the end of your bottle this jar is going to be not so economical as I think you will struggle to be able to get all the product out!

In terms of light reflecting.. Nope. Don't think so. I own a lot of those sort of products and that definitely does not tick the box on skin enhancement or glow factor.

It does create a good base for make up and I find that my make up lasts alright with it.. Although I also feel like this product could be to blame for my make up slipping off over the day!

I also find this a lil bit too thick.. I don't like thick moisturizers and I feel like they have tried to make this product too much like a moisturizer which I am not a fan of at all.

I bought this and was surprised. I found it a lot more liquidy to other primers that I had tried/used in the past but it did it's job. I definitely prefer using my foundation over this rather than nothing at all. However I have definitely found primers that make your skin a lot more smoother and help to hold your foundation a lot better and longer than this one. Saying that, it's a handy and decent primer and worth the money I paid for it. The packaging is nice and easy to use, pumps are great! Would definitely buy again!

Has a really nice feel when it goes on, and helps keep make up on all day, but there are cheaper products that are just as good.

This is a fantastic primer, I use it mostly around my eyes to help stop my eye shadow creasing throughout the day. It has a fantastic pump which helps to use as little as possible (a big bottle so it lasts ages!) it goes on smooth and lasts all day. It makes my skin feel soft and smooth and I would definitely recommend it to a friend as a go to primer!
