Revlon Photoready Eye Contour Kit Reviews

As an eyeshadow novice, eyeshadow kits with four or more colours confound me. The Revlon photoready kit, on the other hand was simple to use and contained everything I needed to make my eyes stand out (especially as I am pretty sparse on eye makeup). The Renaissance (515) kit includes a dusky pink, royal purple and forest green, colours that I would normally consider quite adventurous but work very well with my blue eyes. I would definitely buy this again!

I purchased 1 of these in 520 aquarelle, its a very pretty light purple eyeshadow palette that's very glittery and goes on easy. the colours are stunning, blend nicely, and give a vibrant look that really brings out my hazel eyes, and it stays on. I also think the sparkly top coat ties all the colours together nicely and the instructions are great for beginners- overall I really liked this product and will continue to use :)

Love the palettes available in this range. I picked up the impressionist shade, and love the variety in the palette. The packaging is standard plastic, but sturdy. There were two applicators, which promptly fell out and I didn't bother to pack them back in, opting to use my own brushes and fingers to apply. I love how velvety smooth the shadow is, and how easy it is to apply the shadow following the product layout. I found the application to go on quite pigmented, but it lacked staying power. I've even tried with a different primer but still didn't get a full work day of wear. I find the sparkle in this palette to be light (could be the shade I choose) and not very noticeable. I prefer to use the sparkle shades as highlight in my inner corner of my eyes. I love the grey in the palette though, a great neutral to add to my work day look.

I got it as a gift and was a bit unsure however I really liked it! The colours are soooo creamy and also really pigmented. I also like the concept, the primer actually works real well and the sparkle top coat is so pretty! Love love love!

I received the Revlon Primer, Shadow and Sparkle in a gift with purchase box. I really like the brow bone shade but found the shape of its container area took some getting used too as I use my finger to put highlighter on. I do not use the dark brown as I have heavy lidded eyes but the mid brown lower lid shade worked well. I do not use the sparkly enhance as I think it emphasises wrinkles more. The size of the container is great as is the amount of product. I like the application information on the back too. When I next need eye shadow I will look at other palettes in this range.

I use the colour impressionist and think the colours in the pallet go great together. The pallet layout is a neat idea. Fun to apply. Good size to pop in handbag.

The primer doesn't seem to prime much. The staying power isn't very good and I find there isn't much eyeshadow left after just a couple hours. It would help if the pallet had a mirror so I could touch up easier.

I picked this is up for $5 on sale so for what I paid I'm happy with it but I wouldn't pay RRP.

I own 3 of these eye shadow palettes: 501, 505 and 510. The shadows are well laid out in an eye-shaped diagram, with instructions on the back in case the layout is not clear. Each palette also comes with 2 double-ended eyeshadow brushes, which is great for applying the three different shadows, as well as the primer and sparkle shadow.

The colour combinations are well thought out, with a highlighter shadow up top, the darkest shadow for the crease, and an intermediate shade for the lid. However, with 510 I found the gold highlighter was too bright, and overpowered the other shadows. I also though it clashed with the other 2 colours. But the colours probably looked extra bright on me because I am very pale. The combination may suit other people better.

The staying power for the shadows was good. It is great that they come with a primer, and I think that really helps to keep the shadow in place. The shadow is also fairly easy to apply over the top of the primer. The only part of the palette I was not so impressed with was the glitter top coat. I found it was not really very noticeable over the top of the shadow. But the shadow looks great without it so I would not consider that a major drawback.

So I have finally found a mini eye shadow palette that is compact, great quality and has a good selection of shades to choose from. I'm quite happy about that.

Its so easy to carry around with me in my makeup bag or handbag. Its easy to open (even with slippery hands). I love the colour selection. The only colour that I don't touch is the blue as I have blue eyes I don't like baby blue shades. I love using the pink shade in my crease, the brown shade in my outer v, the yellower/golder shade on the 1st half of my eyelid and the lighter shade in my inner corner and that is my go to look! and to add a bit more definition I add the brown shade to my lower lash line. Simple as that and all in one palette!

All of the shades have a shimmer to them, not a hardcore over the top shimmer but a minimal shimmer. They all look amazing, beautiful pigmentation and they last all day if applied properly.

I am looking into getting more of these mini palettes as they suit my needs well! Highly recommended to give these a go!

I love the idea of these palettes, they make it so easy for beginners! It is a great guide on where to put each colour/how to use. They have instructions on the back of the case too. Only downfall for me is the crazy colour range, I would prefer if they had some really neutral ones, which would suit beginners more. Colours are really pigmented which is nice, and stays on!
