REVIEW: Revlon Photoready™ Perfecting Primer #Blogmas2020

I wanted to try a new primer, I am really suffering with large pores. I am going to try it out on half of my face to see how it lasts.

CLAIMS:

  • Soften skin

  • Reduce the appearance of pores and fine lines

  • Smooth skin, texture and tone

  • Lightweight

  • Diffuse light to help minimise flaws


PACKAGING:

I has such a signature look for Revlon, it is a glass bottle with a pump.


HOW TO:

  1. After your skin-care products have absorbed, pump out a small amount and blend onto your face using your fingertips

  2. Let the formula sink in for a few minutes before applying makeup

Wet n Wild PhotoFocus™ Foundation

I have done my skincare like it tells us to.

I applied the primer to the right side of my face (left in the picture). It has mattified the skin.

The foundation didn't apply very well on the side with primer, it was patchy and dry looking.

I applied the rest of my makeup, just eye products.

Update #1 (7pm): My skin is dry and patchy especially on the side with the primer.


Date Tried: Tuesday 3rd November 2020


Anastasia Beverly Hills Stick Foundation

Skincare done and looking glow-y.

Primer applied to the right side of my face (left in the picture).

Foundation applied and both sides look dry.

I applied darker concealer to contour, lighter concealer to highlight, setting powder to bake, bronzing power to contour a little more and powder blush.

The rest of my makeup has been applied, really feel like I am in the 80's.

Update #1 (1:45pm): Dry and patchy.

Update #2 (7:30pm): This primer really doesn't work.


Date Tried: Friday 6th November 2020


IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream with SPF 50+

Skincare done.

I applied the primer on the right side of my face (left in the picture), I don't know what happened to my eye.

I applied the foundation with my Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge, skin is drier on the side with primer.

I applied darker concealer to contour, lighter concealer to highlight, setting powder to bake, bronzing power to contour a little more and powder blush.

Makeup all done, it's slightly dry with the primer side.

Update #1 (1pm): My skin feels tight where I have used primer.


Date Tried: Wednesday 11th November 2020

This just made everything look so dry and it didn't make my skin look smooth, I can't find anything good about it.
