Revlon Photo Ready Foundation

Right, so lets blog about make up since that's primarily why I started this blog.  I spend my life looking for two things make up wise....the perfect foundation and the perfect nude lipstick.  I'll blog about the nude lipstick on it's ownio at a later date though (don't get me started!).  I read on another blog that the Revlon Photo Ready foundation was the new "it" foundation.  So I got it yesterday and used it on my night out last night and d'ye know what, it's only bloody brilliant!  It comes in liquid format and the texture is really creamy, a little bit thicker than Chanel Lumiere but not as thick as Estee Lauder Double Wear.  The coverage is just fantastic.  I didn't actually end up using a primer last night as I was so busy trying to de-grease my hair that I barely had time to slap on foundation let alone primer :-)  Even without the primer, this foundation settled onto my skin so well. What I was most impressed about was the dewy finish it gave without a hint of shine.  So much so that I didn't use any of my Bobbi Brown shimmer brick at all....a first for me!  It's staying power is as good as that of Double Wear and one pump did my whole face.  There are only 8 colours to choose from though.  I paid only €14.50 for it, special offer in Boots so I think it's well worth that price compared to the Estee Lauder and Chanel products I compare it to.
