Revlon Photoready Perfecting Primer Review

As you know priming you’re face is essential for the flawless long and length of time your make up stays on. I have very sensitive skin and prone to break outs. This primer is easy on the skin and feels like silk when applied. It is long lasting and I highly recommend it.

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.

I use this primer as my everyday primer. I use my more expensive primers for special occasions. This gives a nice smooth base and a little goes a long way. I have normal skin and use it under MAC foundation with bronzer and a setting spray lasts all day.

Makes my Foundation and Eye make up look great all day long. Very happy I found this product. I love Revlon Make up and at such reasonable prices. Highly recommended

This primer leaves a nice satin matte finish and I feel like it does some blurring. Makeup goes on nicely over top and makes the makeup last a decent amount of time. I would repurchase this primer.

Provided a good even coverage, although just wasn’t a fan of the formula and look it provided. Wasn’t dewy or glowy, but instead just made my face covered in tiny sparkles and didn’t look natural at all. Perhaps this look is for some people, but not for me. I found it seeped into all my dry patches and fine lines too, which wasn’t the best. I would not try this again.

I tried this product at the beginning of 2013 in the hope that it would reduce the appearance of pores, even out my skin tone and help my make up to last throughout the day. I noticed virtually no difference in my skin when using this primer, both before and after applying makeup. In terms of its claim of 'reducing the appearance of pores' I noticed no difference, with or without primer. My pores are not overly large, but are reasonably noticeable either side of my nose when I have applied foundation. I have found the Lioele secret pore smoothing primer to be a much better alternative, with a better price tag than Revlon.

My skin was no smoother after applying the Revlon Photoready primer, and my redness and uneven skin tone was just as visable. It did however, make some difference to the way my makeup lasted throughout the day. It certainly kept it in place more so than if I had gone without, but no more than any other primer I have tried.

The Revlon Photoready primer has given me no reason to continue using it. With so many primers in store and online, I would not recommending spending $38 on this one. The Balm Time Balm is a great all rounder and the Lioele primer already mentioned is great for reducing the appearance of pores. I was once a big Revlon fan but once again their products are not standing out against others than are more affordable.

Revlon had a gift with purchase going. I had Farmers vouchers. And I needed concealer. A perfect storm. I HAD to buy something else and as I was having a meh to the beauty counter lady about my skin she recommended I try this product. And being the easily convinced person I am I did. Firstly I love how it makes my skin feel. A pump and a half spread over my face and it just feels smoother and softer - and it looks nicer somehow. If I didn't have uneven skin/pimples/acne I'd just pop this on and face the world. Add my liquid foundation (Lancome Teint Idole - not that it probably makes a difference, but maybe it does) and my skin looks fabulous! I don't often have to get all gussied up anymore but I saw pictures today of me at a wedding where I'd used Revlon's Photoready Perfecting Primer with my usual foundation and my skin looked sensational - if I do say so myself ;) For me this is a makeup bag must!
