♥ SFYS: Foundation Review: Revlon PhotoReady vs. Estee Lauder Double Wear ♥

Hellooo! So if you may have seen my YouTube review of these foundations. I like to do informative, in-depth reviews therefore that video was quite long so I promised that I'd do a brief review on here as well. If you want to see the more comprehensive (right word?) video review then click just here!


The two foundations I've been wearing the last few months are Estee Lauder's Double Wear and Revlon PhotoReady so I decided to do a SFYS (See For Yourself) review where I show you the product in action so that you can decide for yourself if you'd like to buy it. I've rated each foundation on the different aspects below and at the end of the post there are comparison photos so you can draw your own conclusions. If you really are in a hurry scroll to the last paragraph for my conclusions!

Barely Black Nails

Following my recent vow to start painting my nails more often I had a good rummage through my nail polish collection recently and found this gem. The colour is Chinatown by NYC and it's actually a really great dupe for OPI's I Brake For Manicures. I looooove any almost-but-not-quite-black colour and this one hits the nail on the head so it's definitely going to feature a lot in my autumn nail polish rotation. It also applied really nicely, really even and not drying too quickly so I had time to smooth out each layer.

(it was raining all day or else I'd have shown it in natural daylight but this is pretty close)

Indoors, without flash.

It's an inky blue black and has a super subtle sparkle to it which is cool. I think it's a really pretty and interesting colour overall and perfect for autumn. The colour on my ring finger is Model's Own Ibiza Mix which I did a more in-depth post on here!
