Revlon Photo Ready Air Brush Mousse Makeup is a new foundation that works similarly to the Revlon Photo Ready Foundation. The product claims to give you a flawless finish perfect for photographs, it is suppose to blur out perfections like you have been airbrushed using Photoshop. Unlike the original Revlon Photo Ready Foundation it is a mousse formula.

The Revlon Photo Ready Air Brush Mousse Makeup comes in a bottle with a nozzle on the top. When you spray the foundation it comes out in a light fluffy mousse texture which smoothes out and becomes creamy. Revlon Airbrush Makeup is good for those who love medium to full coverage. If you prefer lighter foundations you will probably find this too heavy for your skin. It uses light reflecting pigments to reflect light and blur imperfections. These light reflecting pigments can look really glittery under different lighting, so not everyone will love this. It also can accentuate oily skin, so I would only recommend this foundation for people with dry skin. It isn’t really long lasting and you do need to retouch the foundation after 4 to 5 hours.

Overall the Revlon Airbrush Makeup is a good foundation but it isn’t amazing. I don’t recommend using this in the day time, just because it looks so sparkly in day light. Use this at night when you plan to take a lot of photos.

I give this a 3 out of 5
