REVIEW: REVLON PHOTOREADY BLUSH + HIGHLIGHTERS

I never used to pay Revlon much attention when went into either Superdrug or Boots, however lately I'm at that stand quicker than the speed of light - or just pretty quickly. 

The blusher comes in three colours, Coral Reef, pinched, which is nude and apparently tends not to show up too greatly and finally flushed, a gorgeous bright pink/magenta shade, which will be mine!

The blusher is very pigmented and can look a little scary in the pot and a little neon, however it can apply very sheer or  be built up and is a gorgeous coral colour on the cheeks. It has a great colour pay off and lasts forever on the skin.It is creamy in the pot however, its finish is much more of a smooth powder texture, therefore I think this would be great for oily skins especially. It gives a really natural flush to the cheeks and I would imagine that the colour would be perfect for pale skin tones all the way through to the darker skin tones. Depending on how much you apply it would also be great for either a natural day look or a deeper night look.

The blusher applies easily with your fingers or a brush; the Stippling brush by Real Techniques works wonders.

The blush leaves a matte finish which is lovely, especially if you want a more subtle and natural finish, however, if you wanted to add some shimmer in the form of a highlighter we've found two which work really well with the blusher. 

Firstly,  a purse friendly highlighter from MUA, Shimmer Kisses Bronzer.

 I have used this highlighter near enough every day since I bought it, which was January/February time, so that is saying something. As with all MUA products it's very cheap at only £3 and even after over 4 months use it doesn't look anywhere near to running out! This product is actually described as a bronzer, which I would disagree with, however it is an amazing highlighter, so we'll let that one slip!  

You can either use one of the colours separately or swirl your brush around all four. The colour is slightly peachy and gives a gorgeous glow to the skin, so really compliments the coral blush. It is a nice subtle shimmer sheen so you won't look like you've just stepped out of the glitter factory... It also works great to highlight under the brow bone. 

The second highlighter is a higher end product, by Benefit called One hot minute. This costs £23.50. The powder is a pretty rose gold colour which works great with the coral of the Revlon blush and would suit all skin tones. It's definitely a perfect summer blush and highlight combination. It also gives a warm glow to the skin.

 

Are there any other great Revlon products that we're missing out on???
