I’ll admit. I bought into the hype with the Revlon Color Ready Foundation. And when I tried it in the drugstore, it looked amazing. But do I still love it? Read on.

Packaging

The packaging on this is great. It comes with a pump (yay for pumps) which always appeals to me for no other reason than hygiene.

The pump spurts out a whole lot of product though. So be careful, lest you end up with foundation flying across the room. I find half a pump sufficient to work on small parts of the face.

Product

The foundation itself is light and very easy to work into the skin. And it has SPF which gives it bonus points in my book.

And, no jokes, I’ve never had a foundation that gives me such a flawless finish. When I finish applying it, it’s like I have perfect skin. And I most certainly don’t have perfect skin.

BUT, after a few hours, this separates and sits in patches on my skin. You can see where it has melted off and where it sits, tenuously hanging on for dear life. The beautiful flawless finish I had is gone and is replaced with something from a horror film.

Price

In Australia, this cost me $30, which is mid-range, I guess, for foundation.

Unfortunately, whilst I love the look of this when first applied, it has no staying power with my oily skin. So I won’t be repurchasing. (((
