Revlon Photoready Perfecting Primer Review

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!

Ths is my favourite primer! It feels amazing when applied and makes your makeup last so much longer than any other primer I have ever used. It comes in very cute packaging and lasts quite a long time. I wear makeup 4-5 days out of a week and it has lasted me since October-ish. The only downside that I have found with this is that it is quite expensivee compared to other primers. I just suggest that whenyou see it on sale, stock up while you can because it is an amazing product!

I recently brought this primer as there was a gift with purchase at my local pharmacy (couldn't help myself)!. My skin was feeling really dry and my foundation wasn't lasting, so I thought using primer might be the answer.

After using this for a week I'm really happy, the primer really has improved the dryness on my face and my foundation looks flawless now and doesn't cling to dry patches like it used to. A really nice primer that also makes my makeup last more during the day.

This was the very first primer i ever brought and a good investment at that! It doesn't have a high fragrant smell and it leaves the skin feeling silky smooth! The pump is easy to use and the packaging is quite basic, nothing fancy! I haven't really noticed the impact it makes vs not wearing any primer at all but I would still highly recommend it !

This is the first primer I have used so not really sure what to expect. There was no packaging to speak of, just wrapped in plastic but the bottle is a nice shape and size and the pump is really handy. I like the feel of this on my skin and there is a nice subtle scent, and my foundation seems to stay in place, however my eyeshadow still creases. I haven't noticed any pore reduction or reduction in appearance of lines either.

I was quite happy with the results of the primer. My foundation went on very well. It went on flawlessly. i would definitely recommend as a first primer. I find though it is hard to use all the product. I will have to break the top to get the rest of the product out!!!
