PhotoReady Candid Natural Finish Anti-Pollution Foundation

I was looking for something that's medium coverage and hydrates my dry skin during the winter and I found it. I purchased 510 Cappuccino (I'm in between NC45 and NC50 in MAC) and it's slightly dark but I wear sunscreen so it lightens it to my shade. The next shade down would be too light combined with my sunscreen. If I didn't wear sunscreen 500 Almond would be a perfect …Read more

First time I applied this foundation looked thick and cake and too light. I was ready to return it.
I decided to try again. First I applied a good coat of moisturizer- plain old CereVe. I then dabbed a little Candid on my forehead, cheeks, chin, and nose and used a damp beauty blender.
This has more coverage than I normally use. I've used a tinted moisturizer or BB cream for years …Read more

The packaging is A++. The formula is creamy and it blends nicely with a RT sponge. I really, really like it for the first few hours after applying. Unfortunately it doesn't last well on my skin, and by the end of the day some of the coverage is gone. That's the main reason i took off a lippie. Btw, i tried applying it with my fingers once and it went on too heavy and cakey …Read more

This is a great foundation. I have melasma and redness and found it covered better than Revlon's new full coverage one. It takes only one layer to cover since it is slightly thick, but creamy and spreads easily, and feels good on skin. It comes in many shades and the tube packaging with pump is easy to use. HG!

I have this in the color 300, Dune. It is a lovely foundation. From my perspective, this looks and feels "high end". It is light weight, not dewy/not matte, covers and blurs pores and imperfections, and does not accentuate dryness like some other foundations. Long wearing. Doesn't float or slide around. This is a 3.75 for me.

So far I'm happy with this foundation. It looks good even without primer and covers well. I'm an NC42 and 430 works for me. I almost went a shade darker because it's hard to gauge in the opaque tubes but I lucked out. This was only $10.99 at CVS but there was a $5 CRT plus I had the $4 coupon from the paper, and got $4 back in ECBs. yay! I think Colorstay is still better, but this …Read more

I tried this Revlon PhotoReady Candid Foundation a few months ago. I bought it alongside the concealer (total flop) & powder (total win). I love the shades 110 Porcelain & 130 Ivory. They're both fair enough for me to use w/no oxidation. Coverage is low Medium. I have to use a couple of layers for more coverage. It gives better coverage w/a flat top brush than a damp sponge. I like …Read more

Really love the Revlon Colorstay and Insta-filter so thought I would give this a try. It’s nice to apply on skin, almost had a nourishing feel to it. It looked good on my skin for a couple of hours and looked almost glowy. However it wasn’t great for my oily t-zone. It looked terrible at the end of the day. It also broke my skin out into small white pimples after a couple days use. I’ve never had …Read more

This was disappointing for me. The biggest problem is that it darkens over time, and not just a little bit, I was maybe 3 shades darker after a couple of hours.
It stayed tacky even after a light powdering but the finish was a nice natural finish, not too matte and not too dewy.
It didn’t settle into my lines much but it accentuated my pores a bit.
I liked the packaging, the pump is …Read more

I wore this for a week until I removed it last night to a face full of pimples and decided to stop lol. It's inexpensive (tho the amount you get is NOT a lot), easy & sanitary pump tube packaging, I found a great color match (sand beige, which always works for me in Revlon foundations across the board, I'll give them that), and I genuinely loved the finish and performance. It was …Read more
