(Well, I don't like any of their mascaras since they have always failed me. I don't know Revlon, is it so hard to make a decent mascara? *doing the hand gesture*)
Anyway.. ;)
I have used the famous Colorstay liquid makeup for years and lately I have been enjoying PhotoReady line as well.
To me, Colorstay liquid is overall superior to PhotoReady but by very little.
More importantly, PhotoReady line gives a very close color match (03 Shell) where my best Colorstay bet Buff looks ashy and flat on.
I could order this new PhotoReady Mousse makeup online with confidence because I knew this shade would work for me, and of course, the "mousse" concept was very interesting to me. :)
Here, I am trying to do a comparison review on these sisters.
Hope it helps you to decide which on to get. ;)

Once the puff of the mousse is gone, they don't feel much different.

I don't know if you can see the swatches here but they look identical on my arm.
Mousse Makeup feels lighter when blended when Liquid feels creamier.

Now, the throw down... :p
*Texture/Blendability*
Mousse feels much lighter on skin but it sets very quickly so is is less forgiving when you blend. I need to quickly work it through to prevent unevenness.
Liquid form is much creamier and easier to blend and it feels a tad heavier when compared to Mousse.
*Coverage/Finish*
I would say Mousse evens out the skin tone better but Liquid provides a little more coverage.
They are both shimmery and I think Mousse form is even slightly more shimmery.
Some people say these are "disco ball" shimmery but I wouldn't go that far. ;)
I personally like base makeup with shimmer and it is not so noticeable like that anyway, in my opinion.
*Oil control*
Mousse Makeup is much better in oil control. I hardly need touch-up although it is dry winter time here.
I am happy with Liquid Makeup for now but I might prefer Mousse Makeup for its light feel and oil control.
*Etc.*
Mousse Makeup loses a few points because of the unexpected...
1. It smells rather weird, like plastic-y? Some even reported it smells like "dirty socks" lol
2. It doesn't provide any sun protection where Liquid Makeup has SPF 20
3. It seems a little gimmicky to me since I did not see any benefit of the mousse form in terms of better blendability. It might contributes to the light feel of the product, but honestly I have seen similar consistency from other liquid makeup. It is fun to use, though!
4. The pressurized metal package could be hazardous. (as much as any hair spray can would be..?)
I was satisfied with Mousse Makeup both times when I wore this but I would have to use this a little longer to make any conclusion.
If I have to pick now, it would be the Liquid Makeup. :)
