Review: REVLON PhotoReady Airbrush Mousse Makeup foundation ♥

Hey everyone!!

This is a review on a foundation that just quite didn’t make the cut for me. The new REVLON PhotoReady Airbrush Mousse Makeup foundations are “light-as-air” mouse foundations that are supposed to blend seamlessly into your skin. You can find these foundations at many drugstores and at Wal-Mart for about $16 CAD each.

First I’m going to talk about the packaging:

This foundation may seem like a regular bottle but it is actually a metal can. It is 1.4oz of product which is pretty decent and container itself is pretty compact and travel friendly. Although the idea of a foundation coming in an aerosol can is very cool the reality of it is that is sucks. The poor design of the cans make it very hard to control the amount of product that you are actually taking. Even when the pump is pressed lightly you get a huge glob of product on your hand. Another thing I didn’t like about the packaging is that you literally have to shake container for about a minute every time you use it because otherwise separated product will come out.

Here are a few things I did like about the REVLON PhotoReady Airbrush Mousse Makeup foundation:

• The foundation comes out in actual mouse form (which is very unique)
• Feels very light on the face
• Gives a smooth feel to skin once it’s dry
• The foundation is long lasting
• Somewhat buildable (starts looking cakey if you do a 3^rd layer)

Here are some things that I didn’t like about the REVLON PhotoReady Airbrush Mousse Makeup foundation:

• Colour wise, there is a very small variety (total of 8 different shades available)
• I picked up the colour in “070 rich ginger”. This colour is too dark for me but the colour before this too light for me.
• It’s a gimmick because when you touch the foundation, it defoams to look like a normal liquid foundation (pretty much is a normal liquid foundation)
• You have to literally shake the hell out of the foundation
• It has sparkles in it? (Which does give a dewy finish but the sparkles are just super obvious.)
• Not for people with wrinkles, acne scars, large pores, or any kind of uneven skin. The shimmery particles with enhance your skin irregularities.
• It heightens the look of dry spots and flakey skin
• The foundation smells REALLY bad
• Feels watery
• Strictly light to medium coverage
• Have to be very careful with how hard to press
• A little product comes out even after you stop pressing the pump
• Doesn’t cover up redness or scaring

how it comes out of the pump

The REVLON PhotoReady Airbrush Mousse Makeup foundation is for people with normal skin type. This foundation is too luminous for people with oily skin and it’s also overemphasises the look of dry skin. I don’t like the look of this foundation applied with my fingers or even with a brush (I feel like the best way to apply this foundation is with a makeup sponge). Personally I wouldn’t repurchase or recommend this foundation.  

Stay Fabulous!
