Comments about Revlon Photo Ready Makeup Compact:
I am struggling to find a replacement product Revlon New Complexion. This is the second product that I have bought in this effort. I am 46 and in-between the oily T-zone and aged dry skin stage of my life. It is hard getting it on the sponge. It was dry going on, even after using a moisturizer. After using a corrector and then applying this it seemed it wiped off the highlighter/correcting makeup. Too thin of coverage for me. So, I continue on my search...

Comments about Revlon Photo Ready Makeup Compact:
So much lighter than a liquid, yet offers smooth, thorough coverage. I can't believe how smooth of a finish it produces. I do need to exfoliate, though, or it emphasizes flakes. On moisturized, exfoliated skin, though, it really lives up to its name of Photo Ready.

Comments about Revlon Photo Ready Makeup Compact:
I'm in my late 30s with combinination blotchy skin, uneven tone, and a little scarring. I bought this hoping for medium buildable coverage without giving me a cakey, dry look. Although this product is inexpensive, I have to say I was disappointed. For me it didn't cover well at all, and looked oily. So I dusted with Revlon Age Defying pressed powder, which only made it worse. Awful, actually! And I looked shiny in photos. I have used Revlon color stay in the past with much better results, I'll switch back to that instead.

Comments about Revlon Photo Ready Makeup Compact:
I'm more pleased with this foundation than any "drugstore brand" I've used in a very long time. I would recommend tossing the sponge that comes with it, and using a foundation brush. The screen actually becomes an advantage this way: it prvents too much product from getting on the brush, so the applicaiton is nice and smooth, and I can control the coverage where I need a little more. With a fluff of translucent setting powder, I'm good to go for the day.

Comments about Revlon Photo Ready Makeup Compact:
I bought it the other day. It turned out impeccable. I used it against the normal way. The grid covering it is kinda stupid, I just removed it the moment I began to use it. Without the grid, you can easily apply it with your finger smoothly patting on your face especially the spot that you want to cover. Actually I think it did the trick. My face looked amazing and flawless after using it and more importantly, it is long- lasting. I think I will keep using it and recommend to all my best friends.

Comments about Revlon Photo Ready Makeup Compact:
Bought this product because I thought it was a powder, but unfortunately it is a foundation in a compact that helps to distribute the foundation differently to prevent heavy coverage. I was just not a fan at all. It didn't really show up at all. I will be returning this tomorrow

Comments about Revlon Photo Ready Makeup Compact:
I bought this foundation about a week ago despite the negative reviews. I had used a foundation similar to this one (compact with the screen over the product) so I knew it would take a little more effort to get the foundation on the sponge but the screen also prevents you from getting a huge gob of it on your sponge as well. It provides light coverage and goes on relatively smoothly. I do have dry spots on my nose (where my sunglasses sit) and it does exaggerate them. A face primer should prevent this from recurring. I like the SPF 20 in it and the fact that it does last all day. A light dusting of powder and my skin looks quite nice through out the day. I have combination skin and this does work for me. I do not recommend this for dry, flaky skin (unless you use a primer and/or exfoliator first). Overall, I am pleased with my purchase and will probably buy this again.

I felt it did not cover well without a lot of concealer and primer. I did not want that much product on my face.
