Coverage: Medium 

Color Match: 3.5/5 Range: Not very many choices. Light to 3 shades for woc. Not too deep.

Finish: Natural semi dry.

Notes: Revlon Photo Ready has to be one of the BEST drugstore foundations available! I has awesome coverage a decent color rage and a reasonable price. Though the color range is as I said "decent" it could be a heck of a lot better. I had to mix two shade Mocha and Cappuccino to get a shade more closed to that of my skin. Now that I'm a bit darker I don't have that problem... but Revlon... I should have NEVER had that problem. All of Revlon's other lines have my color... Mahogany! That's neither here nor there. If you are looking for an awesome foundation with a great price check out Revlon's Photo Ready... IF they have your color...
