Revlon’s new products under the PhotoReady umbrella launch into Boots and Superdrug in March. I’ve had mixed results when I tried them out this morning, most notably with the Photoready Airbrush Mousse Makeup (£12.99).

Maybe it’s just me but I cannot get along with Mousse foundation. I ended up squirting out far too much with this mousse and ended up with a moussy hand, mousse in my hair and generally having a mousse-related strop. It’s very hard to tell how forcefully to push the cap to let the mousse out; I started with a little squirt of mousse which wasn’t enough so tried a bit harder and it was far too much. On the skin it feels a little dry, but it has a very good level of pigment so a little goes a long way. Coverage, I must admit, is excellent.
The PhotoReady Perfection Primer is an absolute winner for me – it feels gorgeous on the skin and definitely gives a softening feel. It’s easy to blend across the skin and gave a very nice, but minimal, softening look. It’s £11.99.
Revlon PhotoReady Eye Primer and Brightener is another lovely product priced at £9.99. I felt it was very good at disguising dark circles and brightening the eye area so all boxes ticked for this one.
Lastly, the Photoready Makeup. Very lovely but for one thing. Shimmer. And a ton of it at that. The formula is beautiful; it feels gorgeous on the skin, gives excellent coverage. I can’t quite work out if these are totally new formulas, but referring back to a post I did in 2010 when PhotoReady was truly brand new, it was the same problem then.. too much flipping glitter. Grr.

The mousse looks great, but getting a proper amount of foundation might be annoying for me. Excellent coverage is what I like, I don’t know then. I’m following you since now, greetings from Poland 🙂 ~pieknaodzawsze.blogspot.com~
I can’t wait to try out the primer, I’ve heard so many good things about it!
I personally love the Photoready foundation, but only in the winter as the shimmer isn’t as noticeable…

The Mousse looks awesome, but i hate the GLITTER

I’m a bit conscious about these airfoam foundations. Just discovered your blog and am following you now. Would be great if you could take a peek at my blog xxx

I do like Photoready stuff but hate mousse foundation so I might try it but probably won’t like it!
I’ve just rediscovered my photoready foundation and really like it – strangely I never find it too glittery, but I think I may be the exception to the rule… I doubt I’ll try the mousse as it seems a little gimmicky and also difficult to judge how much is needed…
I know what you mean with pumping out too much product, its disastrous! This looks great, thanks!
Im a new follower. 🙂
I still struggle to not end up with half the can in my hand when using hair mousse. The primer and eye brightener look interesting.
Why on earth they think anyone would need that
Much shimmer is beyond me! I have no desire to go to work looking like a discoball!
