Revlon Photoready Perfecting Primer Review

I recently was given this revlon photo ready primer by a friend. The first time i used it i noticed it was a very nice smooth consistency and seemed to go on the skin nicely. It helped to moisturise my face a bit before i applied my foundation and left a slight shine to my face. I didn't need to use too much either, just one to two pumps.

I felt like you need a lot of product to complete your entire face, it didn't do a good job of priming my pores (nothing for hiding my nose pores at all!), it's average

I use this every day under my foundation. You can immediately see the difference. It has a nice smell and a slightly chalky feel when applying. Gives the skin a nice fresh look. I don’t believe it has helped to keep the foundation on all day though.

Got given this by a friend of mine as she no longer used it, I don't buy much, if anything from Revlon so was excited to give this brand a good proper go. I loved the way this product felt as it was so smooth and soft when I pumped it onto my hand to apply. On the skin it blended in well and I didn't need to use much to cover my face, it made my skin feel smooth and made foundation apply so much better. Definitely want to try more Revlon skin products.

I really love the rest of the photoready range but the primer I would describe as just average. It smoothed my pores and initially felt nice an looked good. My foundation smoothed on nicely and lasted ok throughout the night. I did find after a few hours that my skin was feeling oily and looking a bit shiny. I don't think I'd buy it again for the price, maybe if it was a bit cheaper.

Goes on nicely and helps with blending of foundation, but it’s not great for sensitive skin. Goes a long way with a tiny pump.

I grabbed this primer on special on Amazon (woohoo, $5 primer!), I brought it trying to find a new primer that I could use daily, unfortunately, this is not it.

The primer product looks impressive in its cute wee bottle, but that is about where the functionality of getting this product out ends. I don't have an issue until you get to the end of the bottle, trying to get that last little bit out is near impossible unless you want to smash it open to retrieve it!

The primer itself was really nice on the skin and goes on smoothly but for a silicone based primer, I expected it to blur my pores a bit more.

I'm in 2 minds, yes it was worth the $5 I paid for it, but unfortunately, I won't be purchasing it again because of the bottle issue and it not being as blurring as I hoped.

It goes on nice and smooth, and does help your base spead and blend evenly. But that was about it. After that I felt seperated my foundation, so my base didnt last as long or look as good as it usually would through out the day. Hit and miss for me.
