Not good as a foundation but....

Revlon's Photoready Airbrush foundation has a sheer, almost glittery side that makes the skin literally sparkle under any kind of light. If you want your whole face to glow and sparkle like Edward Cullen in Twilight, that's great! But as a every day foundation, not so much. Although I will be using this foundation on my body to add a little glamour in my outfits, I still think that, even if the formula is very smooth, light and blends well, I will not use it as a foundation.

I don't like the aerosol container at all but the product itself is decent. I find it dispenses too much at a time and it's messy to use. I do however like the coverage and the feel on my face. The one complaint I have about the actual foundation itself is that midday it starts to get oily looking which is a no no for my combination skin. Not the best foundation but not the worst either. I think its best suited to those with normal to dry skin.

I am rating this product mostly based on effectiveness. It is a very light mousse formula that provides amazing coverage. it has the minerals in it to reflect light in the correct way for photos. when ive used this product, my skin has looked flawless in photos, and gave me the coverage ive been looking for. the price is a little more than your average drug store foundation. and I did not really mind the scent. I would definately reccomend this foundation!

The packaging: This foundation comes in a 1.4oz aerosol container. It's available in 8 different shades.

The product: Revlon claims that this foundation "provides a flawless finish,leaving you with a smooth poreless complexion. The formula’s photochromatic pigments bend and reflect light to minimize flaws, leaving you with perfectly airbrushed skin in any light – indoors, outdoors, or under the flash of a camera. Oil free, fragrance free." First thing I need to adress. This foundation has a HORRIBLE scent. When I tested it on my hand, I happened to catch a whiff of it, and it smells like ear wax. Which, made me VERY reluctant to try it. I was hoping it was just the tester and that the actual foundation wouldn't smell as bad or at least the smell would wear off quickly. The product does feel great on my skin and leaves me with a nice "air brushed" look. I found that once I set it with a powder, I couldn't smell it anymore. :) It is a fairly heavy coverage foundation but it does feel very light on your skin.

The price: This foundation retails for about $18.99 CAD (depending where you find it, you can locate it cheaper.) I DO think this is fairly over priced for a drugstore foundation. If you're looking for a cheap foundation, this is not your product. I also think you can purchase a drugstore foundation of similar quality for la better price.

Overall: I think that the Revlon PhotoReady Air Brush Mousse foundation is a decent foundation, but is slightly over priced. I'm not a huge fan of the smell and really, I think there are foundations of similar quality that would be easier on the wallet. However, if you really want to spend the cash and battle the smell. Try it out! :)
