Revlon PhotoReady Candid Anti-Pollution Foundation #350 - Natural Tan

This foundation is supposed to be sheer to medium coverage. To me, it's more sheer. I applied the product but could not really even tell I was wearing anything. This product would be great if you just want a more natural and glowy appearance. I did wear this underneath my foundation and it was very pretty. It is lightweight and has a creamy texture. It's supposed to even out your skintone and minimize the look of those things you wish to cover. Pros: Has prickly pear oil to moisture and get that glowy complexion. Very lightweight and creamy. Contains plenty of ingredients that love your skin, including anti-pollution and anti blue light ingredients to protect your skin.Contains antioxidant vitamin E to help block environmental agressors.

Contains plenty of ingredients that love your skin, including anti-pollution and anti blue light ingredients to protect your skin.Contains antioxidant vitamin E to help block environmental agressors. Made without parabans, phthalates, synthetic dyes and harsh chemicals. Great for all skin types including sensitive skin and dry skin. Cons: Not enough coverage to cover imperfections. I think this product is perfect underneath and over your foundation if you want more of a dewly appearance. It definitely contains a lot of great ingredients to keep your skin hydrated. I would say this product is more of a BB cream than a foundation.

For some reason I expected to be unimpressed by this, maybe lukewarm at best, but this blew my mind! This is a stunning foundation. It provides light to medium coverage, with a blurring but dewy finish that I’ve been absolutely obsessed with. Usually dewy foundations can draw attention to pores and pore size, as highlighters can do sometimes, but this doesn’t have that effect. It still blurs away pores instead of putting a magnifying glass on them. Now, it’s not poreless like a matte foundation or a pore filling primer. It’s more that they become much less noticeable, and the radiance from the foundation takes center stage. I also like that this isn’t so dewy that I risk looking greasy. Even with dry skin, some dewy foundations look like I dipped my whole face in ... MoreFor some reason I expected to be unimpressed by this, maybe lukewarm at best, but this blew my mind!

Even with dry skin, some dewy foundations look like I dipped my whole face in chicken grease. This just looks fresh and healthy. Part way through the day I will dab the tiniest amount of shine-controlling powder along my t-zone, just to combat that mid-day oil breakthrough, and it just goes back to looking like I just applied it. The powder, oils, and foundation melt together beautifully. I was surprised to see that this wore very well over a busy 12-hour shift, and didn’t look horrendous by the time I got home. I will say that this is, at the very most, a medium coverage product. It just doesn’t build up beyond that, no matter how it’s applied, or if I wait for it to dry down a little first. It does sheer out nicely, so it’s perfect for days you just want something to even everything out. Two thumbs up! Five stars! I highly recommend this!

This foundation gives a dewy look but more of a luminescent glow. It is a medium, buildable coverage and goes on nicely. The first time I used this I did have to pump it several times to get the product out. Not a dealbreaker but something to be aware of. The scent is barely there and non-descript. I like that this is free of parabens, phthalates, synthetic dyes, harsh fragrances and it’s non-comedogenic. It’s available in 16 shades from very light to deep. It claims it blocks pollutants but I don’t really put too much stock in that since we are exposed every day to pollution in some form or fashion and no matter what foundation you’re wearing, you’re still getting exposure. I only wish this had a sunscreen factor but other than that, I really do like this a lot. My ... MoreThis foundation gives a dewy look but more of a luminescent glow.

You can use your hands or a foundation brush to apply this. I think this would be really good for dry skin as it contains prickly pear oil which is very moisturizing but not greasy.

I’m so excited to be able to say that this is one of the best foundations I’ve tried on my just over 40 year old dry skin. I have used Tretinoin for over 10 years, so I don’t really have any wrinkles other than the 11s between my eyebrows from squinting… (wear your glasses or contacts, people!). However, whatever signs of aging I do have often look worse when I wear foundation, because my skin is dry and makeup can cling to those spots, like under my eyes. When I talk about looking worse, I mean close up, because I’m super conscious of that because I have excellent makeup lighting and a magnifying mirror! It’s not realistic to expect makeup to “look like skin†no matter what anyone says, although I still want that to be truth!I like natural, light to ... MoreI’m so excited to be able to say that this is one of the best foundations I’ve tried on my just over 40 year old dry skin.

When I talk about looking worse, I mean close up, because I’m super conscious of that because I have excellent makeup lighting and a magnifying mirror! It’s not realistic to expect makeup to “look like skin†no matter what anyone says, although I still want that to be truth!I like natural, light to medium coverage, and have tried many different foundations that fall under that genre, but this is one of the few that looks beautiful at the end of the day, and not just when I apply it. I prep my skin very well before applying makeup, with eye cream and moisturizer. I use primer, sparingly, and then I apply this with a damp makeup sponge, (I use one from DSMD that Samantha March recommended as being better than Beauty Blender). I also use my fingers to pat out some areas, and then I apply the concealer from this line, sparingly, and then powder under my eyes and around my nose ever so slightly. Finally I often use the Flower Beauty Hydrating Setting Spray. I am so happy to have found such an affordable option, that works better than many of my high end foundations and tinted moisturizers.I am light with cool, pink undertones, but went with the neutral Vanilla over the cool toned Ivory, because I wanted to tone down the red in my skin, (and tbh, I think it was $3 less to buy that color on Amazon!). I definitely recommend trying it out if you have more mature, dry skin, but honestly I think this would be nice on most skin types.

I picked this up when I ran out of my high end foundation at the drug store on sale for $3.99 and after using it for a few days I went back and bought two more! This is perfect in every way! The shade match is unreal, the coverage is perfect for me which is a medium coverage and the finish is SO natural! I just turned 40 and have some larger pores but this never looks cakey. Best part is is that it stays put all day and never becomes blotchy. I am thrilled about this amazing find!

This sheer foundation has natural looking finish. It gives your skin and enhancing hydration that last all day. It’s a medium coverage that can build a little, but I don’t think it builds all the way to full coverage. It doesn’t have oils pins, synthetic, dies, or a harsh fragrance. It has incredible range of shades – 31 to be exact although it’s in a tube it has a pump dispenser at the top. It lies along the skin effortlessly. It works well with or without a primer. It doesn’t settle into fine lines or highlight texture on my mature skin. Did I mention that it’s very affordable. 

When I think of good drugstore makeup, [brand:revlon] doesn't cross my mind and when I do make a trip to the drugstore for makeup, I usually avoid the [brand:revlon] section. Their products don't appeal to me nor has a [brand:revlon] product ever just wowed me. Aaaand on my last drugstore trip I ate my words. Their Skin Lights highlighter was on display and immediately caught my eye. I found myself skimming the [brand:revlon] section. After snatching up the highlighter, I grabbed the Candid and Candid glow foundations. The candid glow foundation is their latest release and right on target with the glowy, glass skin and anti-blue light trends. Packaging: I love their choice of packaging here. They swayed away from their typical glass packaging and went with a pump ... MoreWhen I think of good drugstore makeup, [brand:revlon] doesn't cross my mind and when I do make a trip to the drugstore for makeup, I usually avoid the [brand:revlon] section.

The candid glow foundation is their latest release and right on target with the glowy, glass skin and anti-blue light trends. Packaging: I love their choice of packaging here. They swayed away from their typical glass packaging and went with a pump tube that's cleaner and more hygenic. First impressions and formula: The formula is lightweight and moisturizer like in consistency and feel. The coverage is quite sheer but buildable while still giving you a fresh, dewy and healthy looking complexion. I like that I can hide blemishes and even out my complexion while still allowing my skin to look like skin. Claims: *Anti-pollution, antioxidant, anti-blue light ingredients without parabens, phthalates, synthetic dyes, and fragrances *Skin-enhancing liquid makeup foundation infused with prickly pear oil for a hydrated, glowy finish and vitamin E to help block environmental aggressors *A lotion texture that goes on like a moisturizer, and finishes like a lightweight liquid foundation. Overall: Had this lasted a little longer, I would have rated it 5 stars. I started to notice some breaking up after about 5/6 hours, which was easily negated with some touch ups. I love the fresh and skin like finish I achieved with this foundation while still covering up the stray blemish or dark circle. I wouldn't reccomend this for anyone looking for a medium or full coverage foundation but it's definitely worth purchasing for light coverage or natural days. I will be purchasing a few of these to have on hand.

DONT DISCONTINUE

Please don’t discontinue this!!! I only found out because I was recommended this product to a friend and I came online to see everyone talking about no being able to find it!! It’s been causing me major anxiety since I found out. I’ve only been able to find it on a Amazon (which always makes me paranoid because I’m not sure if im getting authentic product) but I had to risk it because this foundation is the only one I can truly work with. I was going to buy 3 or 4 but there was only one left in stock!!! So I had to come here to let you know how anxious this has got me. This is the one and only foundation I’ve used for YEARS AND YEARS in end!!! It covers everything without being too thick or heavy, and it also doesn’t oxidize into a gaudy orange tone like other ... MorePlease don’t discontinue this!!!

It covers everything without being too thick or heavy, and it also doesn’t oxidize into a gaudy orange tone like other “light” foundations. PLEEEEEASE don’t discontinue this product. I went to Walgreens the other day to pick up what I could and literally PANCIKED when I saw there wasn’t any at all!! I will continue to try and get ahold of someone associated with your brand until I get answer. This product is CLEARLY wayyy to important to too many of your customers to get rid of completely.

Perfect addition to beginner makeup

This has got to be my third tube of candid glow and what a pleasant surprise it has been. The coverage and the colour match are very close to my skin tone which is great because I usually struggle having a neutral undertone. Applies excellent with either a sponge or brush. The glow is also not overwhelming so it's perfect for daily wear. The coverage dries down nicely over hours of wear and doesn't oxidise. I would recommend adding a nice finishing power to more oily areas as the shimmer particles may highlight those areas. The only downside for me is the price which can be expensive for the size and I usually wait til its on sale before I buy it. I usually mix it with other foundations to make it last longer and further its use.

Review by someone with dry and mature skin

I gave up on budget foundations many years ago because I could never find a shade pale enough and they rarely performed well on my dry and mature skin (I am in my late fifties). After seeing several people on YouTube praise the Revlon PhotoReady Candid Foundation, I bought it in the shade Porcelain.The foundation is in a plastic tube with a dispenser. It was easy to dispense the foundation without too much coming out at once. The foundation had a noticeable floral scent but it dissipated after application.I applied the foundation with a blending sponge which is my preferred method. The foundation was easy to blend to a satin matte finish. Some foundations do not adhere well to my cheeks where I have broken capillaries, but the foundation adhered well to this ... MoreI gave up on budget foundations many years ago because I could never find a shade pale enough and they rarely performed well on my dry and mature skin (I am in my late fifties).

The foundation was easy to blend to a satin matte finish. Some foundations do not adhere well to my cheeks where I have broken capillaries, but the foundation adhered well to this area.One layer of the foundation pooled into the larger pores on my cheeks and accentuated them; making this area look like polka dots. I applied several layers of foundation to my cheeks to minimise this and to get enough coverage for the broken capillaries. The foundation looked slightly caky in some areas when I looked in a makeup mirror, but I doubt that someone would notice this unless they were close to my face.All liquid foundations sink into deeper wrinkles due to my age, but this foundation separated very noticeably around the side of my nose after about two hours. I do not wear powder over foundation because my skin is dry, so it is possible that the separation would not have occurred if I had used powder. A silicone-based primer may also have reduced the separation, but I did not have one at that time (I prefer skin care as my primer).
