After hearing that this foundation is a total skip for me.

Until they expand the color options this is a pass!

I picked this up at CVS during a BOGO along with the Colorstay Mineral Finishing Powder in Sunkiss. I got it in #011 Cappuccino. I could have sworn there was supposed to be another color before this one, but maybe that's my mistake. Anyway the shimmer in this foundation is really minimal and I like that because I have dull skin. I like that its not as full as ColorStay because I have no scars or blemishes. However! The darker shades of this foundation I believe are really red to orangey in their undertones. When I swatched this on my jawline it matched(I have red undertones), but my cheeks are really yellow/peachy. I haven't worn a full face of this yet, but I'm just wondering how anyone else out there with peach to red undertones feels about this?

I normally use the Colorstay One Step in Caramel and I recently used the Photo Ready in Cappucino (my CVS did not have it in Caramel). I get more coverage with the One Step. As Laulovesbilly said, the Cappucino has reddish undertones where the Caramel does not. I may try the Photo Ready in Caramel.

I know that I saw in either the March or new April issue of Lucky has a $2 off coupon until December I believe! worth a shot!

I've been wanting to try this out, but the mixed reviews have gotten me.
Ive been using colorstay for awhile now, I might just stay with it.

I quite liked it though, but the colour selection is indeeed little! ): I used 09 Rich Ginger! Head to my blog to see the full review!

I absolutely love this foundation. It is as if the gods of makeup were tape recording the thought of my H.G. foundation and creating this masterpeice.

I purchased this along with the translucent finishing powder (and some new Wet n' Wild blush and mascara, just to add), and they both work beautifully!)

I am very, very pale. Like Kate Winslet in Titanic pale. And my skin is pretty oily, as well. I love the look of fresh, dewy, glowy skin, and that is what I got out of this foundation. The shade "Ivory" is perfect for my skin, which is quite surprising because the other Revlon foundation never go light enough for my skin.

I applied this (in my car, haha) at noon and by 6:30, after a play practice, under stage lighting, my skin still looked amazing. I also got quite a few compliments on how my skin looked. My friend kept on telling my how pretty I looked that day.

My skin was also very smooth and soft. The soft shimmer gave me that glow that I have been searching for, and it makes me very happy. The fact that both of the items were on sale for 40% off was pretty awesome, too.

If you are considering purchasing this, do it. I love it so much!

i'm still wiating for this to come to boots in my city

i'm tired of waiting!

After wearing this for 17hr day in Atlantic City(meaning buffet, boozing, and taking a nap) this stuff had not budged from my face! I love it!!! Previously I stated that the heavy red tones in this scared me because the center of my face is quite yellowish but I don't know, this foundation just works itself out somehow and blends so lovely. I apply with a stippling brush and I actually used no finishing powder. Finally something I can switch up my Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer with.

i got photoready today! yay! i found the shade that best matched me was shell. although it's not a perfect match at all. they really do need to come out with more colours!

i shall wear it to work tommorow and test it out

 

[noahlowryfan]

I've try the foundation today. While I like the coverage, the color match wasn't so good. Back to Walgreens to purchase 004 Nude. If that is not a good match either, I might have to mix 004 and 008 to get my perfect match.

 

[LMD84]

ok so these are my thoughts after applying it this morning

i think that colour match is actually ok. i bought shell and i thought it would be a little too pinky for me but when on my face it matches very well. i first covered half of my face and the coverage is much lights that colourstay. this foundation hid my slightly red looking cheeks but i have a spot on my chin which i needed to put concealer over. with colourstay i have no need for concealer.

i couldn't notice the sparkly bits. but it's not bright enopugh to see outside yet. i will check later on.

so far so good!

DO you girls know when are more shades coming out ?

 

[nursee81]

I picked up this foundation yesterday at CVS BOGO along with colorstay. In photoready I got 008 and it looks to light but the one next to it ginger something looked to red. I had seen on youtube where some one NC40/42 was mixing 008/010 to get a good match. But my CVS didn't have it. Walgreens is having 40% so I will check there. Does only know if CVS usually has these BOGO?

I don't like CVS. In order to get the sale price, you have to have their card. Why can't non-card holders get the sale price too like Walgreens and Rite Aid.

It easy to get a card half the time they ring up the card and tell you to go home and mail in the info.

I don't like having a card to a place I don't shop there at all.

I saw the expanded color line recently at a Target.. of the shades that even close to me 1 is too red and the other is too dark. How do ppl go about mixing foundations?
