Gives a matte finish, sets foundation

The Revlon Photoready Powder provides more of a matte finish and therefore eliminates shine. It comes in 4 shades, translucent, fair/light, light/medium, and medium/deep. The tinted powders help with coverage, and these also contain SPF 14. These powder compacts can be found in most drugstores for $9-$10. The most disappointing aspect of this powder is the amount of fall out. The powder gets everywhere! One sweep of the brush over the compact and it loosens up too much powder, causing a lot of powder to go to waste. The brush that comes with the compact doesn't work well and I ended up throwing it out. I do like the convenience of a compact, but I hate when they break, and I feel like they always break. Revlon should consider making their Photoready Powders in a loose powder formula as well. But this powder works well in eliminating shine and setting my makeup for the rest of the day. Now, for the sparkles. I have read a lot of people complaining about the shimmer. Revlon describes the shimmer to be "Photochromatic pigments bend, refect and diffuse light to help erase flaws." But to be honest, the shimmer doesn't bother me at all and I barely notice it. If you look closely in the picture of the powder below, you can definitely see the sparkles. But once, the powder is buffed in to the skin, I can't really tell.

Great for oily skin, nice matte finish without being chalky

AKE UP FOR EVER's HD Microfinish Powder is a loose translucent silica powder used to matte your make-up. Since purchasing this powder a few months ago, I haven't gone a day with out it. I love, love, love it! It blurs a most skin imperfections, making your skin look almost flawless. I use it right after I apply my liquid foundation and it mattifies my make-up. It makes my foundation last much much longer than a normal powder, as the silica absorbs oil through out the day. However, I still do find the need to touch up with powder before the end of the day. The powder is translucent, so it will work for any skin-type or skin-tone. I do recommend buffing the powder into your skin with a kabuki brush. I also want to mention that if you do not buff the powder in completely, you might see some white or chalkiness show up in a picture taken with flash. So buff, buff, buff! On Sephora's website, you may purchase the travel to go size for $15 and 0.17oz of product. You may also purchase the full size for $30 and .34oz of product. So if you are hesitant to purchase this product, I would recommend the trying the to go size. A little does go a long way, I purchase my full size powder back in April and I still have half a pot left. And I use it EVERY day! I do want to mention that is product is purely 100% silica powder. So in theory, you could probably purchase the same thing at a much lower price. I have not however, found it yet. I've checked many beauty suppliers to no avail. So for now, MUFE HD Microfinish Powder is the only one. I do love this product, and I really believe it is well worth the price. This product will last a very long time!

Good coverages, leaves skin with an almost flawless finish

I have read a lot of good thinks about this foundation and decided to give it a try myself. This foundation collection contains 13 shades and can be found in most drugstores for $11-$14. This fountains contains SPF 22 and is oil-free. I always look for foundations with SPF because I think it's important to protect your skin on your face. I love the pump, and it delivers just the right amount of product. Normally, I use Revlon Colorstay because it doesn't melt as easily as other foundations. Now that its cooling down to the 70s (pathetic I know), I don't really have to worry as much. When I first purchased this foundation I accidently purchased the wrong shade. Instead of getting Natural Beige I grabbed Medium Beige which was much too dark for me. One thing I really like about this collection was the variety of colors and tones. I have a more yellow toned skin tone and it can hard to find foundations that don't have pink undertones. Although Medium Beige was much too dark, it would work well for those with olive undertones. Nude ending up being more my color, especially now in the winter months. I tried mixing the two, but it was still a little too dark so I ended up giving it to my mom :)
 This foundation delivers good coverage and works very well in evening out in my complexion. But, I'm not sure how well it would work covering up a lot of redness or blemishes. It is not as thick as Colorstay foundation and has a much lighter, thinner consistency. The finish is not matte but more of a dewey finish. This foundation gives you the appearance of a "glow" and I really like the flawless finish type look it delivers. It does not slide off my face like some, but i never wear a foundation alone and I always use some sort of finishing powder. The Revlon Photoready Powder provides more of a matte finish and therefore eliminates shine. It comes in 4 shades, translucent, fair/light, light/medium, and medium/deep. The tinted powders help with coverage, and these also contain SPF 14. These powder compacts can be found in most drugstores for $9-$10. The most disappointing aspect of this powder is the amount of fall out. The powder gets everywhere!

But once, the powder is buffed in to the skin, I can't really tell. Normally, I am against shimmer in any face powder and I do not like shimmery bronzers. But, the amount of shimmer is minute in my opinion, and serves it's purpose.

Overall, this is one of my favorite line of face make-up and rivals many more expensive lines. Now I know what all the rave is about!
