bdTrial: Revlon Photoready Prime + Anti Shine Balm

The BD team put Revlon’s new Photoready Prime + Anti Shine Balm product through its paces.

I’m a big fan of a primer, but had only used liquid-based ones before. This new multi-use face balm comes in a travel-friendly compact with a sponge applicator - bringing a whole new element to the priming application process. I’ve been using it in place of my usual moisturiser before applying make-up in the morning, and found that it softens and smooths my skin. I love its texture on my face, and the fact that the clear, lightweight formula comes in a compact that is the perfect size to chuck in a handbag, clutch or desk drawer. I think this new launch is going to be a consumer hit! - Maddie
 
 
I’m all for anything that helps my make-up to last longer, so I was excited to put the new PhotoReady Prime + Anti Shine Balm to the test. The formulation is nothing like I’ve tried before, packaged in a compact with a sponge applicator. Unlike a regular primer that can sometimes leave the skin feeling heavy with product, this lightweight balm was almost undetectable. The verdict? My make-up stayed put all day. This is one to add to the make-up bag! – Aja
 
At this time of year, after-work drinks and pre-Christmas catch ups are nearly an everyday thing, so day make-up just ends up rolling into night make-up. The Revlon Photo-Ready primer has been a godsend - helping my make-up to stay put and looking fresh for hours on end. The balm is super lightweight but hydrating at the same time, giving foundation a soft, sheeny canvas to work with. This is a product that will be invited to every party this season! - Nat
 
 
It's no secret that consumers are clamouring for multi-tasking products to save them time, money and energy - and I have long been a big supporter of this trend. If a product promises to deliver more than one function or benefit, it instantly gains my attention. The great thing about the PhotoReady Prime + Anti Shine Balm is that it has many uses. It targets my pesky fine lines and the sight of my pores, has my skin feeling super-hydrated, and gives make-up outstanding staying power (which, lets face it, in this weather is a massive plus). - Yelena
