    Good medium Coverage foundation

    I generally use a full coverage foundation but wanted something lighter for the summertime. It's a nice medium coverage foundation that is buildable but leaves my face with a nice glowy finish with just a hint of shimmer making it great for summer selfies. Goes on much lighter than my usual full coverage foundations and seems to have staying power even on the hottest, humid days. I apply it with a stipple brush and use a damp beauty blender to work it in. I finish it with a loose powder just to take the glow down just a touch. Definitely a summertime fave.

    Great coverage

    It's not a full coverage but with concealer it does well. It gives a more dewy natural finish I like. The only thing I would change is it's lasting power. Unless I use a heavy duty primer and setting spray this stuff melts off my face half throughout the day. I have oily skin but this doesn't break me out so I will continue to use

    Dewy

    I always seem to come back to this foundation. The finish is dewy which I happen to like. If you want something matte you probably won't like this. Coverage is definitely not full but is somewhat buildable. I find this applies best with my fingers rather than a foundation brush. My biggest issue with this foundation is that it doesn't last as long as I'd like - by the end of the day it can look cakey and emphasize lines and texture.

    I found the liquid foundation to be to heavy and sticky on my skin and felt It to leave a rather cakey look on my face and that's not what I want from a foundation , I have also tried the powder version on this kind and I don't mind that also leaves a rather dusty and thick layer look if your not careful

    Tried this Photoready Foundation recently, b ut it was not my favourite. I noticed after I applied there was an added shimmer which just enhanced my imperfections. It does go on smoothly and easy to blend in which i would consider great pros, however the shimmer was a disadvantage on my side.

    I've been a longtime fan of Revlon Photoready Foundation. It was always long lasting and a great colour match for my skin. However, they have changed the formula. My skin colour no longer matched the number that I had been using for years, the new 003 was WAY darker, more like what I would purchase for late summer use!

    Besides the darkness of the new formula, I also find it's no where near as long lasting as the old formula. It only lasts about 2 hours without needing to be blotted, whereas the previous formula, I could get away with 6 hours!

    I'm honestly not sure if I'll purchase this again or continue on in my search for a better foundation. I'm so disappointed that they changed the formula.

    I'm really pale, so I struggle to find a foundation that matches my colour without looking like a mask and that I also like the feel of. I'm a redhead, which means super pale skin and freckles - which I don't really want to cover up completely - but I do want to even out my skin tone.

    This foundation is my favourite that I have tried. It blends easily, it matches my skin tone and it lasts all day without getting overly greasy looking or losing much coverage. It makes a great base for all my other makeup as well. I like the little pump feature on the bottle. It makes it super easy to dispense, rather than the bottles that you have to tip and try to pour.

    I didn't find an issue with the smell, like some other reviewers mentioned. The last foundation I used however had a very strong smell, which was one of the reasons I needed a change.

    Overall, I'm extremely happy with this foundation. The colour is perfect, it blends like a dream, it has staying power without getting dry or greasy and it's affordable. Basically everything that I'm looking for in a foundation.

    Maybe it's just that I am super pale and not a lot works with my skintone, or maybe it's the acne, either way, this looked super orange on my skin and I was using the lightest shade. It was like I turned myself into an oompa loompa. It's just been sitting in my makeup drawer since, I can't even use it for a contour shade, it's too orange.

    Aside from the glitter, I would have really loved the Revlon Photo Ready Airbrush foundation. It held up pretty well throughout the day, it applied easily, had great coverage and looked awesome in photos.
