Opinion Summary
The Hamlet of Foundations: a great, great product, tragically flawed
by violette | Dec 30 '01
Pros: your skin just glows; blends in perfectly; sheer, but conceals well, too; totally non-comedogenic
Cons: wears off quickly; your oily skin = a grease slick in the summer; relatively expensive

...a GREAT review. I understand your feelings about this foundation.

I love it, but the expense just seems to high for me. However, Revlon's SKINLIGHTS foundation is very very close.

I have some PHOTOGENIC that I have used and compared it directly with Revlon on the other half of my face.

The Revlon side won out whenever I asked which looked better of people.

Just thought you might want to check it out. It seems a bit less opaque and less oily too.

Great review,

I'm going to run out to check out your reviews--sounds great. I had thought about the similar MAC product--can't remember the name, desperately sleep deprived--but I heard it was even sheerer than Photogenic. And Prescriptives: can you believe they color-printed me wrong TWICE?? I was walking around looking like a corpse, totally confident that my fake skin matched my neck. :) But maybe this new thing I see everywhere... hmm. Thanks for the tip!

I agree! (Reply to this comment)

This looks great only when my skin is clear.

I used the Hydra Controle from Lancome to reduce shine prior to applying.

Nice summary!

The only thing I can think of is - have you tried other foundations that do similiar things as this one claims?

I thought about getting this, but upon recommendation of the other review on this item, realized it might not provide enough coverage for me -

I am 29 and pale and seem to have similiar skin (you can see my pic and some beauty reviews if that helps) - I just switched from CLinique (ok results) to Prescriptives (fantastic results!) by coupling their MAGIC products with their cream to powder foundation (photochromatic) -

You told us about the good, bad and the ugly. This is really what consumers want to know. Thanks a lot!
