REVLONPhotoReady Candid Loose Powder, Banana 4

I have combination-oily skin and always use mineral powders as they tend to go better with my skin type. I wanted to give this a go as it's a similar setting powder to the one I have, even though it isn't a mineral type (as far as I can tell).Pros :- Works well a setting powder - I use a brush and dab it over my liquid foundation and it sets it really well, adding a dewy finish- Has a nice mattifying but dewy finish- Stays on for hours and helps settle my oily skin- Has less additives and fragrances added to the powder- You get a good amount of powder in a pot, more than the other brand I buy- Although the colour is called banana, it's not too yellow and seems to just blend with my skin colour- Antioxidant, anti-pollution and anti-blue light - apparentlyCons:- It's not a mineral foundationOverall I'm impressed with this powder foundation, which I wasn't expecting! It blends well, keeps my oil at bay and seems to work just as good as the other brand I use with more powder in, and had the extra qualities of claiming to product against pollution too! So for oily-combination skin I'd definitely recommend it. A great powder from Revlon and perfect for selfies!

Rarely have anything but positive experiences with Revlon cosmetics and this setting powder is no exception, and I also really like the very well thought-out design which helps keep the powder where it should be when it's not going on your face - in the pot! Really good design, just requires little bit of effort early on to loosen the powder out through the holes, but I'd rather that than have it going everywhere. The powder goes on perfectly for me using a dry large full puff brush and is perfect for not only setting everything in and keeping your look fresher for longer but also for evening out any oily zones or patches, and it gives your skin a really nice healthy even tone, too. If you do need to go over it with some bronzer or highlighter afterwards it's not an issue and I find it easier to achieve a more professional/carefully applied look with this without as much effort with other products, so would definitely get it again but will probably try and make it last by using it mostly for special events or nights out.

The powder I received I can't and won't use as it has no hygienic seal at all. Ok, I can understand no carton box (reducing waste, etc.), but why there is nothing to make sure the lid can't be open by anyone else but the receiver? Honestly, how you can put on your face some powder when there's no guarantee no one used it before or could just stick finger in it? I would never buy unsealed cosmetic, creams etc. for hygienic reasons. I could see from other reviews and photos, that I'm not the only one to receive unsealed package... I unscrewed the lid and the first thing I noticed is that applicator is missing, no sponge, although, there is obvious space for a sponge... I have plenty of brushes at home, however, I would expect face powder to have an applicator!I actually had big expectation regarding this product as I've bought and used a couple of Revlon PhotoReady pressed powder. Brilliant products, actually. Can't complain about anything. And all Revlon pressed powders I bought in the past did have a tiny secure sealant and an applicator.

I have wanted to try a loose setting powder for ages. I seen this and thought, banana shade, not completely sure but why not. Don’t worry it is not yellow it is similar to a concealer shade like a mix of yellow and beige.The aim of it is to set concealer etc under the eye and prevent the product seeping into any wrinkles. First of, getting into the actual powder is a workout in itself, which isn’t a bad thing to avoid wastage and spillages. But you do need to have good strength to get the plastic off.I poured a little powder out and tried applying it with a beauty blender....fail, I think the blender would need to be damp for product to work successfully.I then tried a brush on the next eye, and thought it applied much better. I give it time to set and brushed away. I do think as it is “banana” coloured it does also help with my dark under eyes and definitely sets. Just would prefer an easier access to the powder 3*

This is a really lovely loose powder, that goes on well and you don't really need much to achieve the effect your after, the colour of this is also nice and doesn't look chalky once on.You will also need your own application brushIt comes in a plastic container with a screw lid and its very secure no chance of leaking in your bag.once you screw the lid off the inner container has a plastic insert that flips up it was initially a little stiff but I imagine it would become looser over time.it's actually attached and stops the powder escaping.Under that is another piece of plastic with small holes for the powder.This is very ingeniously put together for function and to prevent spillage, very impressive.I would be happy to leave this loose in my bag no issues.I Would recommend this.
