Wouldn't Buy Again ... Revlon Photo Ready Translucent Powder




I bought the Revlon Photo Ready Translucent Powder hoping it was an easy-accessible, cheaper alternative to the 11 dollar translucent powder I usually purchase. I also was hoping that it would look hot in photos. Ya know.... Make me photo ready! ...Not quite. I used the powder on a couple of my clients. And It was just NOT the business. They said it made their face very dry looking, and dull. And also looked very white outdoors. It did not photo well, instead made everyone, including me, look ghastly. Also, there's glitter in it, which is supposed to reflect light to cancel out flaws.. But instead looks very apparent on the skin...

PROS
it was cheap
did take away shine
CONS
Makes you look very white in pictures
makes skin appear dry
glitter chunks get on face
looks bad outdoors
Repurchase: NO

....WITHOUT flash ....

....WITH flash ....

scary huh ?
*Translucent powder is a sheer powder used to set your makeup, and take away shine. It keeps your makeup in place, and is supposed to make it last longer.
