Been using this since September and figured it's time for a review...
INITIAL THOUGHTS...
They should have re-thought the packaging. I like how small and compact it is but I don't like that it's a lipstick style applicator. It's so easy to get product inside the lid, yet so hard to clean! I picked this up because I was running out of my Mac concealer and wanted something quick and convenient. This seemed decent for it's size so I purchased it at my local Shoppers Drug Mart while browsing.
REVLON Photoready Concealer Review:
RESULT: 3/5
It's great for a quick fix. It covers redness and undereye circles pretty well but would cover fully with 2 layers. However, it can look cakey if built up too much. It finishes matte, which I like. I wouldn't recommend using it on dry acne scars, cause it can settle and emphasize the area. If you must, it'd be best to exfoliate the area first. However, I do like that it is SPF 20 and brightens up my under eye area. I have fairly oily eyelids and I like that it doesn't crease.
TEXTURE: 4/5
I like that it's creamy, blends well, and feels generally lightweight. It doesn't feel greasy either.
WEAR: 2.5/5
Meh, it's alright. I can apply it in the morning before work and it'll last about 4 hours before retouching.
PRODUCT FOR PRICE: 2.5/5
I paid about 11-13$ for this and it lasted me about 5 months with daily use. Currentely, I'm nearing the end and ready to toss it. I wouldn't buy it again...not full price anyways.

Aww, I rather like this concealer. But to be honest I've only tried like...3 concealers in my whole life and I don't really have much to cover up. My main problems with this is that it would brighten up my pimples.
You're lucky! I have so bad skin :( Big pores, oily, dry, sensitive, and acne prone :S I don't hate it but I don't love it. I've heard great reviews about hard candy's concealer though :) Kind of excited to try that :D
