                QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE RIGHTS OFFERING

Q:  What is this rights offering?

A:  This rights offering is a distribution to holders of our Class A and Class
    B common stock of     transferable subscription rights to purchase
    additional share[s] of our Class A common stock for each share of Class A
    or Class B common stock owned as of           , 2003 (or the "rights
    offering record date").

Q:  What is a subscription right?

A:  Each subscription right is a right to purchase     share[s] of our Class A
    common stock and carries with it a basic subscription privilege and an
    over-subscription privilege.

Q:  What is the basic subscription privilege?

A:  The basic subscription privilege of each subscription right entitles you to
    purchase     share[s] of our Class A common stock at the subscription
    price of $        per share.

Q:  What is the over-subscription privilege?

A:  The over-subscription privilege of each subscription right entitles you, if
    you fully exercise your basic subscription privilege, to subscribe for
    additional shares of our Class A common stock at the same subscription
    price per share if any shares are not purchased by other holders of
    subscription rights under their basic subscription privileges as of the
    expiration date.

Q:  Why are we engaging in this rights offering?

A:  This rights offering is being made to help fund a portion of the costs and
    expenses of our plan. MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings Inc. ("MacAndrews
    Holdings"), a corporation wholly owned through Mafco Holdings Inc. ("Mafco
    Holdings" and, together with MacAndrews Holdings, "MacAndrews & Forbes")
    by Ronald O. Perelman, has proposed to provide us up to $150 million to
    help fund a portion of the costs and expenses of our plan. Under this
    proposal, we are making this $50 million rights offering. MacAndrews &
    Forbes has agreed to purchase the full number of shares of our Class A
    common stock it would have been entitled to subscribe for in this rights
    offering pursuant to its basic subscription privilege. To enhance your
    over-subscription privilege, MacAndrews & Forbes has agreed not to
    exercise its over-subscription privilege. In addition, if any shares
    remain following the exercise of the basic subscription privilege and the
    over-subscription privilege, MacAndrews & Forbes has agreed to back-stop
    this rights offering by purchasing the remaining shares offered.
    MacAndrews & Forbes is also providing us with a $100 million term loan
    (this loan is referred to in this prospectus as the "MacAndrews & Forbes
    $100 million term loan"). If, prior to the consummation of this rights
    offering, we have fully drawn the MacAndrews & Forbes $100 million term loan
    and the implementation of our plan requires some or all of the $50 million
    of funds that we would raise from this rights offering, MacAndrews & Forbes
    has agreed to advance us these funds prior to closing this rights offering
    by purchasing up to $50 million of newly-issued shares of our non-voting,
    non-dividend paying, non-convertible, Series C preferred stock. We will
    redeem these shares with the proceeds we receive from the rights offering
    and the back-stop by MacAndrews & Forbes (as described below). In addition,
    if we have fully drawn the MacAndrews & Forbes $100 million term loan and
    MacAndrews & Forbes has purchased an aggregate of $50 million of shares of
    our Series C preferred stock (or if we have consummated the rights offering
    and redeemed any outstanding shares of Series C preferred stock), MacAndrews
    & Forbes has agreed to provide us with up to $40 million of additional
    liquidity under an unsecured supplemental line of credit during 2003 and
    2004, which will increase to a commitment of $65 million on January 1, 2004
    (this line of credit is referred to in this prospectus as the
    "$40-65 million line of credit").

    The stabilization and growth phase of our plan involves increasing
    advertising and media spending, increasing the effectiveness of our
    in-store wall displays in the United States, reducing the number of our
    stock keeping units, or SKUs, in the United States, selectively adjusting


                                      iii


    prices on certain of our products in the United States, optimizing product
    availability to consumers and further strengthening our new product
    development process.

Q:  What happens if I choose not to exercise my subscription rights?

A:  You will retain your current number of shares of Class A common stock even
    if you do not exercise your subscription rights. However, because
    MacAndrews & Forbes has agreed to purchase the full number of shares of
    our Class A common stock it would have been entitled to subscribe for in
    this rights offering in accordance with its basic subscription privilege
    and to purchase all of such shares not purchased by the other stockholders
    pursuant to their basic subscription privileges and over-subscription
    privileges, if you do not exercise your subscription privileges, the
    percentage of our Class A common stock that you own will decrease, and
    your voting and other rights will be diluted.

Q:  Can our board of directors cancel this rights offering?

A:  Yes. Our board of directors may decide to cancel this rights offering at
    any time prior to the expiration of the rights offering and for any
    reason. If we cancel this rights offering, any money received from
    subscribing stockholders will be refunded promptly, without interest or
    deduction.

Q:  What should I do if I want to participate in this rights offering but my
    shares are held in the name of my broker, custodian bank or other nominee?

A:  If you hold shares of our common stock through a broker, custodian bank or
    other nominee, we will ask your broker, custodian bank or other nominee to
    notify you of this rights offering. If you wish to sell or exercise your
    subscription rights, you will need to have your broker, custodian bank or
    other nominee act for you. To indicate your decision, you should complete
    and return to your broker, custodian bank or other nominee the form
    entitled "Beneficial Owner Election Form." You should receive this form
    from your broker, custodian bank or other nominee with the other rights
    offering materials. You should contact your broker, custodian bank or
    other nominee if you do not receive this form, but you believe you are
    entitled to participate in this rights offering.

Q:  Will I be charged a sales commission or a fee if I exercise or sell my
    subscription rights?

A:  We will not charge a brokerage commission or a fee to subscription rights
    holders for exercising their subscription rights. However, if you exercise
    your subscription rights through a broker, custodian bank or nominee, you
    will be responsible for any fees charged by your broker, custodian bank or
    nominee. If you sell your subscription rights, you will be responsible for
    any fees arising from any such sale.

Q:  Are there any conditions to my right to exercise my subscription rights?

A:  Yes. This rights offering is subject to certain limited conditions. Please
    see "The Rights Offering--Conditions to the Rights Offering."

Q:  May I transfer my subscription rights if I do not want to purchase any
    shares?

A:  Yes. The subscription rights are transferable through usual investment
    channels until the close of business on the last trading day preceding the
    expiration date of this rights offering. However, the subscription rights
    are a new issue of securities with no established trading market and we can
    give no assurance that a market for the subscription rights will develop, or
    if a market does develop, how long it will continue. Therefore, we cannot
    assure you that you will be able to sell any of your subscription rights.

Q:  How may I sell my subscription rights?

A:  You may sell your subscription rights through usual investment channels.
    However, the subscription rights are a new issue of securities with no
    established trading market and we can give no assurance that a market for
    the subscription rights will develop, or if a market does

                                       iv


    develop, as to how long it will continue. Therefore, we cannot assure you
    that you will be able to sell any of your subscription rights.

Q:  Will I be able to trade my subscription rights on the New York Stock
    Exchange?

A:  Yes. We anticipate that the subscription rights will be listed for trading
    on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol " " and we expect that the
    subscription rights may be purchased or sold through usual investment
    channels until the close of business on the last trading day preceding the
    expiration date of this rights offering.

Q:  What is the recommendation of our board of directors regarding this rights
    offering?

A:  Neither our board of directors nor its special committee is making any
    recommendation as to whether or not you should exercise or sell your
    subscription rights. You are urged to make your decision based on your own
    assessment of this rights offering and after considering all of the
    information in this prospectus, including the "Risk Factors" section of
    this prospectus and all of the information incorporated by reference in
    this prospectus. You should not view MacAndrews & Forbes' agreement to
    purchase the full number of shares of our Class A common stock it would
    have been entitled to subscribe for in this rights offering in accordance
    with its basic subscription privilege or to back-stop this rights offering
    as a recommendation or other indication that the exercise or sale of your
    subscription rights is in your best interests.

Q:  How many shares may I purchase if I exercise my subscription rights?

A:  You will receive   transferable subscription right for each share of
    Class A and Class B common stock that you owned on           , 2003, the
    rights offering record date. Each subscription right contains the basic
    subscription privilege and the over-subscription privilege. Each basic
    subscription privilege entitles you to purchase     share[s] of our Class
    A common stock for $     per share. See "The Rights Offering--Basic
    Subscription Privilege." Each over-subscription privilege entitles you to
    subscribe for additional shares of our Class A common stock at the same
    subscription price per share on a pro rata basis provided you fully
    exercise your basic subscription privilege. "Pro rata" means in proportion
    to the number of shares of our Class A common stock that you and the other
    subscription rights holders have purchased by exercising your basic
    subscription privileges on your common stock holdings. See "The Rights
    Offering--Over-Subscription Privilege."

    We are distributing an aggregate of                subscription rights to
    stockholders. MacAndrews & Forbes has agreed to purchase the full number of
    shares of our Class A common stock it would have been entitled to subscribe
    for in this rights offering in accordance with its basic subscription
    privilege. In addition, to enhance your over-subscription privileges,
    MacAndrews & Forbes has agreed not to exercise its over-subscription
    privilege. If any shares remain following the exercise of the basic
    subscription privilege and the over-subscription privilege of all other
    subscription rights holders,  MacAndrews & Forbes will back-stop this rights
    offering by purchasing the remaining shares offered.

Q:  How was the $    per share subscription price established?

A:  The subscription price per share for the rights offering was set by our
    board of directors based on the recommendation of the special committee of
    independent directors of our board of directors after negotiations between
    the special committee and MacAndrews & Forbes. The board set the
    subscription price at a formula equal to eighty percent (80%) of the
    greater of the closing price per share of our Class A common stock on the
    New York Stock Exchange on (i) the trading day before the date that our
    board of directors approved this rights offering, which was $2.88 per
    share, and (ii) the record date of this rights offering. In determining
    the subscription price, the special committee and our board of directors
    considered a number of factors, including: our need for capital; our
    business prospects; the need to offer shares at a price that would be
    attractive to our investors relative to the current trading price of our
    Class A common stock; an analysis of prior rights offerings; the historic
    and current market price of our Class A common stock; general conditions
    in the securities market and the difficult market conditions prevailing
    for the raising of equity capital; our operating history; and the
    liquidity of our Class A common stock.

Q:  Is exercising my subscription rights risky?

A:  The exercise of your subscription rights involves risks. Exercising your
    subscription rights means buying additional shares of our Class A common
    stock and should be considered as carefully as you would consider any
    other equity investment. Among other things, you should carefully consider
    the risks described under the heading "Risk Factors."

Q:  Am I required to subscribe in this rights offering?

A:  No.

Q:  How many shares of Class A and Class B common stock will be outstanding
    after this rights offering?

A:  The number of shares of Class A and Class B common stock that will be
    outstanding immediately after the completion of this rights offering and
    the back-stop will be         shares and 31,250,000 shares, respectively.
    The number of shares of Class B common stock will not be affected by this
    rights offering.

Q:  How will this rights offering affect MacAndrews & Forbes' ownership of our
    common stock?

A:  As of the date of this prospectus, MacAndrews & Forbes indirectly owns
    approximately 57% of our Class A common stock and 100% of our Class B
    common stock, together representing approximately 83% of our combined
    outstanding common stock and approximately 97% of the combined voting
    power of our Class A and Class B common stock.

    If no other subscription rights holders exercise their subscription rights
    in this rights offering, after giving effect to MacAndrews & Forbes'
    back-stop, MacAndrews & Forbes will beneficially own approximately    % of
    our outstanding Class A common stock, 100% of our outstanding Class B
    common stock and approximately    % of the combined voting power of our
    Class A and Class B common stock.

    If all subscription rights holders fully exercise their subscription
    rights in this rights offering, MacAndrews & Forbes will beneficially own
    approximately 57% of our outstanding Class A common stock, 100% of our
    outstanding Class B common stock and approximately    % of the combined
    voting power of our Class A and Class B common stock.

Q:  After I exercise my subscription rights, can I change my mind and cancel my
    purchase?

A:  No. Once you send in your subscription certificate and payment you cannot
    revoke the exercise of your subscription rights, even if the market price
    of our Class A common stock is below the $    per share subscription
    price. You should not exercise your subscription rights unless you are
    certain that you wish to purchase additional shares of our Class A common
    stock at a price of $    per share. See "The Rights Offering--No
    Revocation."

Q:  What are the federal income tax consequences of exercising my subscription
    rights?

A:  A holder should not recognize income or loss for federal income tax
    purposes in connection with the receipt or exercise of subscription rights
    in this rights offering. However, you should consult with your own
    financial and tax advisor. See "Certain United States Federal Income Tax
    Consequences."

    or deduction, all subscription payments.

                                  OUR COMPANY

     We manufacture, market and sell an extensive array of cosmetics and skin
care, fragrances and personal care products. Revlon is one of the world's
best-known names in cosmetics and is a leading mass-market cosmetics brand. We
believe that our global brand name recognition, product quality and marketing
experience have enabled us to create one of the strongest consumer brand
franchises in the world. Our products are sold worldwide and are marketed under
such well-known brand names as Revlon, Colorstay, Revlon Age Defying, and
Skinlights, as well as Almay in cosmetics; Almay Kinetin, Vitamin C Absolutes,
Eterna 27 and Jeanne Gatineau in skin care; Charlie and Fire & Ice in
fragrances; and High Dimension, Flex, Mitchum, Colorsilk, Jean Nate and Bozzano
in personal care products.

     Revlon was founded by Charles Revson, who revolutionized the cosmetics
industry by introducing nail enamels matched to lipsticks in fashion colors
over 70 years ago. Today, we have leading market positions in a number of our
principal product categories in the U.S. mass-market distribution channel,
including the lip, face makeup and nail enamel categories. We also have leading
market positions in several product categories in certain markets outside of
the United States, including in Australia, Canada, Mexico and South Africa. Our
products are sold in more than 100 countries across five continents.

The Company's Plan

     Our plan consists of three main components: (1) the cost rationalization
phase; (2) the stabilization and growth phase; and (3) the accelerated growth
phase.

     Phase 1 -- Cost Rationalization

     In 1999 and 2000, we faced a number of strategic challenges. Accordingly,
in 2001 we initiated a plan focused on lowering costs and improving operating
efficiency.

     During 2001, we implemented several key elements of this phase of our
plan. For example, we:

     o   reduced departmental general and administrative expenses in our
         ongoing operations;

     o   reduced manufacturing and warehousing square footage by approximately
         55% during the period from November 2000 to December 31, 2001;

     o   launched a number of major new products, including Skinlights skin
         brighteners, Super Top Speed Nail Enamel, Illuminance eye shadow, as
         well as the Almay Kinetin skincare line;

     o   closed our in-house advertising division and consolidated all
         advertising for our Revlon and Almay brands with a single, prominent
         advertising agency; and

     o   implemented revised trade terms with our U.S. customers intended to
         increase sell-through of our products, reduce merchandise returns and
         claims for damages and drive market growth.


                                       1


     We believe that our actions during 2000 and 2001 lowered our cost
structure overall and improved our manufacturing and operating efficiency,
creating a platform for the stabilization and growth stage of our plan.

     Phase 2 -- Stabilization and Growth

     In February 2002, we announced the appointment of Jack L. Stahl, former
president and chief operating officer of The Coca-Cola Company, as our new
President and Chief Executive Officer.

     Following the appointment of Mr. Stahl, we undertook an extensive review
and evaluation of our business to establish specific integrated objectives and
actions to advance the next stage in our plan. As a result of this review, we
established three principal objectives:

     o   creating and developing the most consumer-preferred brands;

     o   becoming the most valuable partner to our retailers; and

     o   becoming a top company where people want to work.

     We also conducted detailed evaluations and research of the strengths of the
Revlon brand (and we are continuing to conduct similar evaluations and research
for our other major brands); our advertising and promotional efforts; our
relationships with our retailers and consumers; our retail in-store presence;
and the strength and skills of our organization. As a result, we developed the
following key actions to support the stabilization and growth phase of our plan:

     o   Increase advertising and media spending. We expect to increase our
         media spending and advertising support to more competitive levels. We
         will also seek to improve the effectiveness of our marketing,
         including our advertising, by, among other things, ensuring consistent
         messaging and imagery in both our advertising and in the graphics
         included in our wall displays.

     o   Increase the effectiveness of our wall displays. Beginning in the first
         quarter of 2003, we intend to make significant improvements to our
         retail wall displays in the United States by reconfiguring them to make
         them easier for consumers to navigate, which we believe will optimize
         cross-selling among our various product categories on the wall displays
         and make the displays easier to merchandise and stock. We also intend
         to continue to roll out our new wall displays, which we began in 2002.
         In addition, we intend to enhance merchandiser coverage to improve
         in-store stock levels, continue to develop our tamper evident program
         to reduce damages and ensure that adequate inventory of key SKUs remain
         in stock. We intend to work with our retail customers to improve
         replenishment of our products on the wall displays and to minimize out
         of stocks.

     o   Adopt revised pricing strategies. We believe that we can increase sales
         by selectively adjusting prices on certain SKUs in the United States to
         better align our pricing with product benefits and competitive
         benchmarks.

     o   Further strengthen our new product development process. We are
         developing a cross-functional new product development process intended
         to optimize our product offerings to ensure that we have products in
         key trend categories.

     o   Implement a comprehensive program to develop and train our employees.
         We are implementing a comprehensive program to further develop the
         management, leadership and communication skills of our employees, which
         we will regularly assess as part of our goal to become a top company
         where people want to work.

     Phase 3 -- Accelerated Growth

     We intend to capitalize on the actions taken during our stabilization and
growth phase of our plan, with the objective of increasing revenues and
adjusted EBITDA over the long term.

                              RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

     In December 2002, our principal stockholder, MacAndrews & Forbes, wholly
owned by Ronald O. Perelman, proposed providing us with up to $150 million in
cash in order to help fund a portion of the costs and expenses associated with
implementing our plan and for general corporate purposes. Our board of directors
appointed a special committee of independent directors to evaluate the proposal
made by MacAndrews & Forbes. The special committee reviewed and considered the
proposal and negotiated enhancements to the terms of the proposal. The enhanced
proposal was recommended to our board of directors by the special committee of
our board of directors and approved by our full board. MacAndrews & Forbes has
agreed to purchase the full number of shares of our Class A common stock it
would have been entitled to subscribe for in this rights offering in accordance
with its basic subscription privilege (approximately 83%, or $41.5 million), to
waive its over-subscription privilege and to back-stop this rights offering by
purchasing all of the Class A common stock not purchased by other stockholders
(approximately 17%, or an additional $8.5 million).

     In addition, in accordance with the proposal, MacAndrews & Forbes has also
provided a $100 million term loan to our subsidiary, Revlon Consumer Products
Corporation, referred to herein as "Products Corporation." If, prior to the
consummation of this rights offering, we have fully drawn the MacAndrews &
Forbes $100 million term loan and the implementation of our plan causes us to
require some or all of the $50 million of funds that we would raise from this
rights offering, MacAndrews & Forbes has agreed to advance us these funds prior
to closing this rights offering by purchasing up to $50 million of newly-issued
shares of our Series C preferred stock which would be redeemed with the proceeds
we receive from this rights offering (this investment in our Series C preferred
stock is referred to in this prospectus as the "$50 million Series C preferred
stock investment"). The MacAndrews & Forbes $100 million term loan has a final
maturity date of December 1, 2005 and interest on such loan of 12.0% is not
payable in cash, but will accrue and be added to the principal amount each
quarter and be paid in full at final maturity.

     Additionally, MacAndrews & Forbes has also agreed to provide Products
Corporation with an additional $40 million line of credit during 2003, which
amount will increase to $65 million on January 1, 2004, and which will be
available to Products Corporation through December 31, 2004, provided that the
MacAndrews & Forbes $100 million term loan is fully drawn and MacAndrews &
Forbes has purchased an aggregate of $50 million of our Series C preferred stock
(or if we have consummated this rights offering and redeemed any outstanding
shares of Series C preferred stock). The $40-65 million line of credit will be
available through December 31, 2004 and will bear interest payable in cash at a
rate of the lesser of (i) 12.0% and (ii) 0.25% less than the rate payable from
time to time on Eurodollar loans under Products Corporation's existing credit
agreement (which rate, after giving effect to the amendment to Products
Corporation's existing credit agreement discussed below, is 8.25%).

     In connection with the transactions with MacAndrews & Forbes described
above, and as a result of our operating results for the fourth quarter of 2002,
we entered into an amendment in January 2003 of our existing credit agreement
with our bank lenders and secured a waiver under our existing credit agreement
of compliance with our EBITDA and leverage ratio covenants for the fourth
quarter of 2002, an amendment to eliminate the EBITDA and leverage ratio
covenants for the first three quarters of 2003, a waiver of compliance with such
covenants for the fourth quarter of 2003 expiring on January 31, 2004,
substitution of a minimum liquidity covenant through January 31, 2004 and
certain other amendments to allow for the MacAndrews & Forbes $100 million term
loan, the $40-65 million line of credit, and this rights offering. The amendment
also increased the applicable margin on loans under the existing credit
agreement by 0.5%.

                                       3


     In December 2002, we announced that we would accelerate the implementation
of the stabilization and growth phase of our plan and that as a result we
expected that our operating income for 2002, 2003 and perhaps into 2004 would be
reduced by approximately $90 to $130 million due to various aspects of the
stabilization and growth phase of our plan, including returns for discontinued
SKUs, allowances to retailers for price adjustments, costs for reconfiguring
wall displays, and inventory write downs for discontinued products. We currently
estimate that the reductions to operating income from these aspects of our plan,
as well as certain other actions, would be in the range of approximately $90 to
$160 million.

                                 RISK FACTORS

     An investment in our Class A common stock involves risks. You should
carefully consider the following factors and all of the information contained
elsewhere in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference
herein before deciding to exercise or sell your subscription rights.


RISKS RELATED TO THE COMPANY

We have a limited operating history under our plan.

     We have recently implemented material changes in our business plan intended
to improve operating results, and we are in the process of implementing further
changes to our plan in connection with the stabilization and growth phase of our
plan. There can be no assurance that our plan will be successful or that it will
enable us to achieve or maintain profitable operations. We expect to experience
significant increases in sales as a result of our plan. If we fail to execute
our plan effectively, we may not achieve expected increases in sales, which
could adversely affect our liquidity. Additionally, it is possible that the
changes may have unanticipated consequences that could be adverse to our
business. The stabilization and growth phase of our plan involves a number of
significant changes, including:

     o   increasing our advertising and media spending to increase our
         competitiveness and to support new product launches and core products;

     o   realigning and improving our wall displays in the United States to
         enhance brand image, improve cross-selling and make products easier to
         merchandise and rolling out our newly-configured wall displays and
         reconfiguring existing wall displays at our retail accounts in the
         United States on an accelerated basis;

     o   simplifying our product assortment in the United States by a reduction
         in SKUs;

     o   selectively adjusting prices on certain products in the United States;

     o   increasing merchandiser coverage to improve in-store stock levels; and

     o   further strengthening our new product development process.

     Each of these components of the stabilization and growth phase of our plan
carries significant risks, as well as the possibility of unexpected
consequences. Potential risks include:

     o   increased advertising and media expenses may fail to achieve their
         intended effects;

     o   our changes to our wall displays in the United States may fail to
         achieve their intended effects;

     o   we may experience returns exceeding our expectations as a result of our
         reduction of SKUs in the United States;

     o   we may incur costs exceeding our expectations as a result of the roll
         out of our newly-configured wall displays and the reconfiguration of
         our existing wall displays at our retail accounts in the United States
         or the newly-configured wall displays may fail to achieve their
         intended effects;

     o   our selective price adjustments in the United States may fail to
         achieve their intended effect of increasing sales of those products;

     o   we will incur increased costs arising from our plan to increase
         in-store merchandiser coverage, and the increased merchandiser coverage
         may not achieve its intended effect;

     o   our strengthened new product development process may not be as
         successful as we contemplated, and consumers may not accept our new
         product offerings to the degree we envisioned; and

     o   our competitors could increase their spending on advertising and media
         and increase their new product development spending or take other steps
         in response to the stabilization and


                                       10


         growth phase of our plan, which could impact the effectiveness of the
         stabilization and growth phase of our plan and our ability to achieve
         our objective of increased sales and operating income.


We are a holding company with no business operations of our own and are
dependent on our subsidiaries to pay certain expenses and dividends.

     We are a holding company with no business operations of our own. Our only
material asset is all of the outstanding capital stock of Products Corporation,
through which we conduct our business operations. As such, our net (loss)
income has historically consisted predominantly of our equity in the net (loss)
income of Products Corporation, which for the nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2001 and 2002, was approximately $(123.9) million and $(105.0)
million, respectively, which excluded approximately $1.5 million and $2.1
million, respectively, in expenses primarily related to being a public holding
company, and for 1999, 2000 and 2001 was approximately $(369.7) million,
$(128.0) million and $(152.2) million, respectively, which excluded
approximately $1.2 million, $1.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively, in
expenses primarily related to being a public holding company. We will be
dependent on the earnings and cash flow of, and dividends and distributions
from, Products Corporation to pay our expenses incidental to being a public
holding company, including, among other things, professional fees such as legal
and accounting fees and regulatory fees such as SEC filing fees. We cannot
assure you that Products Corporation will generate sufficient cash flow to pay
dividends or distribute funds to us or that state law and contractual
restrictions, including negative covenants contained in our various debt
instruments, will permit such dividends or distributions. See "--The terms of
Products Corporation's debt instruments and Products Corporation's existing
bank credit agreement significantly limit our ability to pay dividends."


Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our operations and
flexibility, our ability to service our debt and your investment in our Class A
common stock.

     We have a substantial amount of outstanding indebtedness. As of September
30, 2002, our total indebtedness was approximately $1,742.1 million. In
addition, on February 5, 2003, MacAndrews & Forbes provided Products Corporation
with the MacAndrews & Forbes $100 million term loan. Additionally, MacAndrews &
Forbes will provide to Products Corporation the additional $40-65 million line
of credit through December 31, 2004. We have substantial debt maturing in 2005
which will require refinancing in addition to the funds provided under the
MacAndrews & Forbes $100 million term loan, the $40-65 million line of credit
and the proceeds of this rights offering. We are subject to the risks normally
associated with substantial indebtedness, including the risk that our cash flow
from operations will be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and
interest, and the risk that we will be unable to refinance existing indebtedness
when it becomes due or that the terms of any such refinancing will be less
favorable than the current terms of such indebtedness. Should any such risks
materialize, they could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and/or results of operations and could materially and
adversely affect your investment in our Class A common stock.


     Our substantial indebtedness could have important consequences to you. For
example, it could:

     o   limit our ability to fund our plan, future working capital, capital
         expenditures, advertising expenses, new product development costs,
         product displays, acquisitions, investments, restructurings and other
         general corporate requirements;

     o   require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from
         operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the
         availability of our cash flow for our plan and other general corporate
         purposes;

     o   place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that
         have less debt;

     o   limit our flexibility in responding to changes in our business and the
         industry in which we operate; and

     o   make us more vulnerable in the event of adverse economic conditions or
         a downturn in our business.

                                       11


Our ability to service our debt, meet our debt covenants and meet our cash
requirements depends on many factors.

     We currently anticipate that operating cash flow, cash on hand, funds
available for borrowing under our existing bank credit agreement and under the
MacAndrews & Forbes $100 million term loan, the proceeds from this rights
offering (which may be advanced to us as a result of the $50 million Series C
preferred stock investment prior to the consummation of this rights offering if
we have fully drawn the MacAndrews & Forbes $100 million term loan) and the
$40-65 million line of credit, will be sufficient to cover our operating
expenses, including cash requirements in connection with our ongoing operations,
our plan and our debt service requirements for 2003. The MacAndrews & Forbes
$100 million term loan, the $40-65 million line of credit and the proceeds from
this rights offering are intended to help fund our plan and to decrease the risk
that would otherwise exist if we would fail to meet our debt and ongoing
obligations as they become due in 2003. However, if such funds are insufficient
to cover our expenses, we could be required to adopt one or more alternatives
listed below. For example, we could be required to:

     o   delay the implementation of or revise certain aspects of our plan;

     o   reduce or delay purchases of displays or advertising and promotional
         expenses;

     o   reduce or delay capital spending;

     o   delay, reduce or revise restructuring programs;

     o   sell additional equity securities;

     o   sell assets or operations;

     o   restructure our indebtedness;

     o   seek additional capital contributions or loans from MacAndrews &
         Forbes, our other affiliates and/or third parties; and/or

     o   reduce other discretionary spending.

     If we are required to take any of these actions, it could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations
and could adversely affect your investment in our Class A common stock. In
addition, we cannot assure you that we would be able to take any of these
actions, that these actions would enable us to continue to satisfy our cash
requirements or that these actions would be permitted under the terms of our
various debt instruments then in effect. Other than MacAndrews & Forbes'
obligations pursuant to the Investment Agreement described below (which
includes MacAndrews & Forbes' commitment to provide us with the MacAndrews &
Forbes $100 million term loan, the $50 million Series C preferred stock
investment and the $40-65 million line of credit), none of our affiliates has
any obligation to contribute or loan to us any capital.

Restrictions and covenants in debt agreements limit our ability to take certain
actions and impose consequences in the event of failure to comply.

     The indentures governing Products Corporation's outstanding indebtedness,
the agreements governing the MacAndrews & Forbes $100 million term loan and the
$40-65 million line of credit and the existing bank credit agreement contain a
number of significant restrictions and covenants that limit our ability, among
other things, to:

     o   borrow money;

     o   use assets as security in other borrowings or transactions;

     o   pay dividends on stock or purchase stock;

     o   sell assets;

     o   enter into certain transactions with affiliates; and

     o   make certain investments or acquisitions.


                                       12


     In addition, our existing bank credit agreement requires us to maintain
certain financial ratios, meet certain financial tests and restricts our ability
and the ability of our subsidiaries to make capital expenditures. These
financial covenants affect our operating flexibility. Our existing bank credit
agreement has been amended to permit this rights offering, the MacAndrews &
Forbes $100 million term loan and the $40-65 million line of credit. Further,
the effect on adjusted EBITDA of certain aspects of the implementation of the
stabilization and growth phase of our plan and our results from the fourth
quarter of 2002 required us to obtain waivers under our existing credit
agreement of compliance with our EBITDA and leverage ratio covenants for the
fourth quarter of 2002, an amendment to eliminate the EBITDA and leverage ratio
covenants for the first three quarters of 2003 and a waiver of compliance with
such covenants for the fourth quarter of 2003 expiring on January 31, 2004 and
required us to substitute a minimum liquidity covenant through January 31, 2004.
We have obtained these waivers and amendments.

We will need to seek further amendments to or waivers of certain covenants
under our existing credit agreement in 2004.

     The amendments to and waivers of various provisions in our existing credit
agreement provide for, among other things, a waiver through January 31, 2004 of
compliance with the EBITDA and leverage ratio covenants for the fourth quarter
of 2003. This means that we will need to seek a further amendment to our
existing credit agreement or waiver of these covenants or take actions referred
to below before January 31, 2004.

     While we expect that our bank lenders will consent to such amendment or
waiver request, we cannot assure you that they will or that they will do so on
terms which are favorable to us. If we fail to secure the amendment or waiver
we could be required to take one or more of the following actions:

     o   refinance the existing credit agreement;

     o   sell additional equity securities;

     o   sell assets or operations; and/or

     o   seek additional capital contribution and/or loans from MacAndrews &
         Forbes, our other affiliates and/or third parties.

     If we are required to take any of these actions, it could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and/or results of
operations. In addition, we cannot assure you that we would be able to take any
of these actions, that these actions would enable us to continue to satisfy our
cash requirements or that these actions would be permitted under the terms of
our various debt instruments then in effect. Should any such risks materialize,
they could materially and adversely affect your investment in our Class A common
stock. Other than MacAndrews & Forbes' obligations pursuant to the Investment
Agreement described above, the MacAndrews & Forbes $100 million term loan and
the $40-65 million line of credit, none of our affiliates has any obligation to
contribute or loan to us any capital.

Dependence on Oxford, North Carolina facility.

     Following our rationalization and consolidation of our global
manufacturing, a substantial portion of our products were produced at our
Oxford, North Carolina facility. Significant unscheduled downtime at this
facility due to equipment breakdowns, power failures, natural disasters or any
other cause, could adversely affect our results of operations and financial
condition. Although we maintain insurance, including business interruption
insurance, that we consider to be adequate under the circumstances, there can
be no assurance that we will not incur losses beyond the limits or outside the
coverage of our insurance.

Dependence on Maesteg, Wales facility.

     In July 2001, we sold our principal European manufacturing facility in
Maesteg, Wales and entered into a long-term supply contract with the purchaser
under which the purchaser produced substantially all Revlon color cosmetics and
other products for the European market. In October 2002,

                                       13


after experiencing production difficulties with this supplier, we and the
supplier terminated the long-term supply agreement and entered into a new
agreement with significantly reduced volume commitments and we agreed to loan
such supplier $2.0 million. To address the past production difficulties, under
the new arrangement the supplier can earn performance-based payments of
approximately $6.3 million (less the unpaid balance of such loan) over a
four-year period contingent on the supplier achieving specific production
service level goals. As a part of this new arrangement, we and the supplier
agreed that the manufacturing of certain product lines would transfer from the
Maesteg, Wales facility to our other plants or other third party suppliers. If
the supplier is unable to fulfill its obligations under this new supply contract
because of manufacturing difficulties or disruption at the Maesteg, Wales
facility or for any other reason, or if we encounter difficulties in
transferring certain product lines out of the Maesteg, Wales facility to our
other plants or other third party suppliers, this could adversely affect our
sales in the European market, which could have an adverse effect on our overall
results of operations and financial condition.

We depend on a limited number of customers for a large portion of our net
sales.

     For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2002, Wal-Mart,
Inc. and its affiliates accounted for approximately 19.6% and 20.3%,
respectively, and for 1999, 2000 and 2001 Wal-Mart, Inc. and its affiliates
accounted for approximately 13.1%, 16.5% and 19.7%, respectively, of our net
sales (after giving effect to the adjustments resulting from the adoption of
FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, Issue 01-9 (the "Guidelines") in 2000 and
2001). We expect that for 2003 and future periods, Wal-Mart and a small number
of other customers will, in the aggregate, account for a large portion of our
net sales. The loss of Wal-Mart or one or more of our other customers that may
account for a significant portion of our net sales, or any significant decrease
in sales to these customers or any significant decrease in our retail display
space in any of these customers' stores, could have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

     In January 2002, Kmart Corporation filed a petition for reorganization
under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. On January 24, 2003, Kmart
announced that it had filed its proposed plan of reorganization with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court and that it was positioned to emerge from bankruptcy on or
about April 30, 2003. In the second quarter of 2002, Kmart closed 283
underperforming stores and announced on January 14, 2003 that it would close an
additional 323 underperforming stores. Kmart accounted for less than 5% of our
net sales in 2001 and in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002.
Although we plan to continue doing business with Kmart for the foreseeable
future and, based upon the information currently available, believe
that Kmart's bankruptcy proceedings and store closings will not have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations,
there can be no assurances that Kmart's financial condition will not have such
an effect on us.

     In January 2002, J.C. Penney Corp. announced that it will be discontinuing
color cosmetics in most of its stores. J.C. Penney carries our Ultima brand,
however our sales to J.C. Penney accounted for less than 1% of our total sales
during 2001 and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002. Accordingly,
we do not believe that this discontinuance will have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Competition in the consumer products business could materially adversely affect
our business, financial condition and results of operations.

     The consumer products business is highly competitive. We compete on the
basis of numerous factors. Brand recognition, product quality, performance and
price, product availability at the retail stores, and the extent to which
consumers are educated on product benefits have a marked influence on consumers'
choices among competing products and brands. Advertising, promotion,
merchandising and packaging, and the timing of new product introductions and
line extensions also have a significant impact on buying decisions, and the
structure and quality of the sales force, as well as consumer consumption of our
products, affect in-store position, permanent display space and inventory levels
in retail outlets. An increase in the amount of competition that we face could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and/or
results of operations. We experienced declines in our United States market share
in various product categories from late 1998 through the first half of 2002

                                       14


(although for the second half of 2002 and for the full year 2002, the market
share for our Revlon branded color cosmetics in the United States mass market
increased over the prior year), and there can be no assurance that declines in
market share will not occur in the future or that the recent share increases
will continue. In addition, we compete in selected product categories against a
number of multinational manufacturers, some of which are larger and have
substantially greater resources than we do, and which may therefore have the
ability to spend more aggressively on advertising and marketing and more
flexibility to respond to changing business and economic conditions than we do.
In addition to products sold in the mass-market and demonstrator-assisted
channels, our products also compete with similar products sold door-to-door or
through mail order or telemarketing by representatives of direct sales
companies.

Social, political and economic risks may affect our foreign operations and we
may be affected by foreign currency fluctuation.

     As of December 31, 2002, we had operations based in 17 foreign countries.
We are exposed to the risk of changes in social, political and economic
conditions inherent in operating in foreign countries, including those in Asia,
Eastern Europe and Latin America. Such changes include changes in the laws and
policies that govern foreign investment in countries where we have operations,
as well as, to a lesser extent, changes in United States laws and regulations
relating to foreign trade and investment. In addition, fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates may affect the results of our operations and the value
of our foreign assets, which in turn may adversely affect reported earnings
and, accordingly, the comparability of period-to-period results of operations.
During 2002, our operations in Latin America, which for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2002 contributed 7.8% of our total net sales, have been
adversely affected by political and economic conditions and foreign currency
devaluations. Changes in currency exchange rates may affect the relative prices
at which we and foreign competitors sell products in the same market. Our net
sales outside of the United States and Canada for the nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2001 and 2002 were 31.2% and 28.8%, respectively, of our total
net sales, and for 1999, 2000 and 2001 were 45.3%, 38.0% and 31.9%,
respectively, of our total net sales (after giving effect to the implementation
of the Guidelines). In addition, changes in the value of relevant currencies
may affect the cost of certain items required in our operations. We enter into
forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge certain cash flows denominated in
foreign currency. At September 30, 2002, the notional amount of our foreign
currency forward exchange contracts was $17.1 million. We can offer no
assurances as to the future effect of changes in social, political and economic
conditions on our business or financial condition.

Terrorist attacks, such as the attacks that occurred in New York and
Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001, and other attacks, acts of war or
military actions, such as possible military actions in Iraq, may adversely
affect the markets in which we operate, our operations and our profitability.

     On September 11, 2001, the United States was the target of terrorist
attacks of unprecedented scope. These attacks have contributed to major
instability in the U.S. and other financial markets and reduced consumer
confidence. These terrorist attacks, the military response and future
developments, or other military actions such as the possible military actions
in Iraq, may adversely affect prevailing economic conditions, resulting in
reduced consumer spending and reduced demand for our products. These
developments subject our worldwide operations to increased risks and, depending
on their magnitude, could have a material adverse effect on our business.


Control by MacAndrews & Forbes.

     MacAndrews Holdings is a corporation wholly owned through Mafco Holdings by
Ronald O. Perelman. MacAndrews & Forbes currently indirectly owns approximately
83% of our outstanding Class A and Class B common stock and controls
approximately 97% of the combined voting power of our common stock, and could
own as much as % of our outstanding Class A and Class B common stock and control
as much as % of the combined voting power of our common stock after this rights
offering, assuming the back-stop is exercised in full. MacAndrews & Forbes
currently is, and after this rights offering will continue to be, able to direct
and control our policies and those of our subsidiaries, including mergers, sales
of assets and similar transactions. The capital stock of Products Corporation
held by us is pledged to secure our guarantee under Products Corporation's
existing bank credit



                                       15


agreement and Products Corporation's 12% Senior Secured Notes due 2005 (the "12%
Notes"), and shares of our common stock and shares of common stock of
intermediate holding companies are or may from time to time be pledged to secure
obligations of MacAndrews & Forbes or its affiliates. A foreclosure upon any
shares of our or Products Corporation's common stock could constitute a change
of control under the indenture governing the 12% Notes and the indentures
governing Products Corporation's other outstanding indebtedness. A change of
control constitutes an event of default under Products Corporation's existing
bank credit agreement, which would permit the lenders to accelerate Products
Corporation's existing bank credit agreement. In addition, holders of Products
Corporation's 12% Notes, 9% Senior Notes due 2006 (the "9% Notes"), 8 1/8%
Senior Notes due 2006 (the "8 1/8% Notes") and 8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes
due 2008 (the "8 5/8% Notes") may require Products Corporation to repurchase its
notes under those circumstances. Products Corporation may not have sufficient
funds at the time of the change of control to repay in full the borrowings under
Products Corporation's existing bank credit agreement or to repurchase the 12%
Notes and the other outstanding notes.

Attempting to accomplish all of the elements of the stabilization and growth
phase of our plan simultaneously may prove to be burdensome and may cause
disruption or difficulties in our business.

     We have recently implemented the stabilization and growth phase of our
plan, which includes increasing advertising and media spending, changing our
newly-configured in-store wall displays in the United States, reducing the
number of our SKUs in the United States, selectively adjusting prices on certain
products in the United States, optimizing product availability to consumers and
further strengthening our new product development process. Attempting to
accomplish all of these elements simultaneously may prove to be a financial and
operational burden on us. If we are unable to successfully accomplish all of the
elements of the stabilization and growth phase of our plan simultaneously, it
may have a material adverse effect on our business.

The terms of Products Corporation's debt instruments and Products Corporation's
existing bank credit agreement significantly limit our ability to pay
dividends.

     The terms of Products Corporation's existing bank credit agreement, the
12% Notes, the 9% Notes, the 8 1/8% Notes, the 8 5/8% Notes, the MacAndrews &
Forbes $100 million term loan and the $40-65 million line of credit, generally
restrict Products Corporation from paying dividends or making distributions,
except that Products Corporation is permitted to pay dividends and make
distributions to us, among other things, to enable us to pay expenses
incidental to being a public holding company, including, among other things,
professional fees such as legal and accounting fees, regulatory fees such as
SEC filing fees, fees associated with this filing and other miscellaneous
expenses related to being a public holding company and, subject to certain
limitations, to pay dividends or make distributions in certain circumstances to
finance the purchase by Revlon of its Class A common stock in connection with
the delivery of such Class A common stock to grantees under the Revlon, Inc.
Fourth Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Plan, or the "Stock Plan."

Delaware law provisions and control by MacAndrews & Forbes could make a
third-party acquisition of our company difficult.

     We are a Delaware corporation. The Delaware General Corporation Law
contains provisions that could make it more difficult for a third party to
acquire control of our company. MacAndrews & Forbes currently indirectly owns
approximately 83% of our outstanding Class A and Class B common stock and
controls approximately 97% of the combined voting power of our common stock, and
could own as much as % of our outstanding Class A and Class B common stock and
control as much as % of the combined voting power of our common stock after this
rights offering, assuming the back-stop is exercised in full, and therefore has,
and after the rights offering will continue to have, the ability to elect all of
the members of our board of directors. Control by MacAndrews & Forbes may
discourage certain types of transactions involving an actual or potential change
of control of Revlon, including transactions in which the holders of our common
stock might receive a premium for their shares over prevailing market prices.

Future sales of our Class A common stock may depress our stock price.

     No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales of
our Class A common stock, or the availability of Class A common stock for future
sales, will have on the market price of our


                                       16


Class A common stock. Sales in the public market of substantial amounts of our
Class A common stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, could
adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Class A common stock.

RISKS RELATED TO THE RIGHTS OFFERING

Stockholders who do not fully exercise their subscription rights will have
their interests diluted by MacAndrews & Forbes and those other stockholders who
do exercise their subscription rights.

     If you choose not to exercise your basic subscription right in full, your
relative ownership interest in us will be diluted to the extent others exercise
their basic subscription and over-subscription rights. Your voting rights will
also be diluted if you do not exercise your subscription rights in full. This
rights offering will result in our issuance of up to an additional 21,739,130
shares of our Class A common stock. In addition, although MacAndrews & Forbes
has agreed not to exercise its over-subscription right, they have committed to
back-stop this rights offering by purchasing all of the shares of Class A common
stock that are not purchased by other stockholders in this rights offering,
which would increase their overall ownership position. If no subscription rights
holder other than MacAndrews & Forbes exercises their subscription rights in
this rights offering, the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement,
including the MacAndrews & Forbes back-stop, will result in the issuance of an
additional 21,739,130 shares of our Class A common stock to MacAndrews & Forbes.
Subscription rights holders who do not exercise or sell their subscription
rights will lose any value in their subscription rights.

The subscription price determined for this rights offering is not an indication
of our value.

     The subscription price per share for the rights offering was set by our
board of directors based on the recommendation of the special committee of
independent directors of our board of directors after negotiations between the
special committee and MacAndrews & Forbes. The board set the subscription price
at a formula equal to eighty percent (80%) of the greater of the closing price
per share of our Class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on (i) the
trading day before the date that our board of directors approved this rights
offering, which was $2.88 per share, and (ii) the record date for this rights
offering. In determining the subscription price, the special committee and our
board of directors considered a number of factors, including: our need for
capital; our business prospects; the need to offer shares at a price that would
be attractive to our investors relative to the current trading price of our
Class A common stock; an analysis of prior rights offerings; the historic and
current market price of our Class A common stock; general conditions in the
securities market and the difficult market conditions prevailing for the
raising of equity capital; our operating history; and the liquidity of our
Class A common stock. The subscription price does not necessarily bear any
relationship to the book value of our assets, past operations, cash flows,
losses, financial condition or any other established criteria for value. You
should not consider the subscription price as an indication of the value of our
Class A common stock. After the date of this prospectus, our Class A common
stock may trade at prices above or below the subscription price.

You may not revoke your subscription exercise and could be committed to buying
shares above the prevailing market price.

     Once you exercise your subscription rights, you may not revoke the
exercise, unless we amend this rights offering. The public trading market price
of our Class A common stock may decline before the subscription rights expire.
If you exercise your subscription rights and, afterwards, the public trading
market price of our Class A common stock decreases below the subscription price,
you will have committed to buying shares of our Class A common stock at a price
above the prevailing market price. Our Class A common stock is traded on the
NYSE under the symbol "REV" and the last reported sales price of our Class A
common stock on the NYSE on February 4, 2003 was $2.97 per share. Moreover, you
may be unable to sell your shares of Class A common stock at a price equal to or
greater than the subscription price you paid for such shares.

We may cancel this rights offering and you will not receive interest on
subscription funds returned to you if we do so.

     If we elect to withdraw or terminate this rights offering, neither we nor
the subscription agent will have any obligation with respect to the subscription
rights except to return, without interest or deduction, any subscription
payments we or the subscription agent received from you.

If you do not act promptly and follow subscription instructions, your exercise
of subscription rights may be rejected.

     Stockholders who desire to purchase shares in this rights offering must
act promptly to ensure that all required forms and payments are actually
received by the subscription agent prior to       , 2003, the expiration date
of this rights offering. If you are a beneficial owner of shares, you must act
promptly to ensure that your broker, custodian bank or other nominee acts for
you and that all required forms and payments are actually received by the
subscription agent prior to       , 2003. We shall not be responsible if your
broker, custodian or nominee fails to ensure that all required forms and
payments are actually received by the subscription agent prior to the       ,
2003 expiration date of this rights offering. If you fail to complete and sign
the required subscription forms, send an incorrect payment amount, or otherwise
fail to follow the subscription procedures that apply to your exercise in this
rights offering, the subscription agent may, depending on the circumstances,
reject your subscription or accept it only to the extent of the payment
received. Neither we nor our subscription agent undertakes to contact you
concerning an incomplete or incorrect subscription form or payment, nor are we
under any obligation to correct such forms or payment. We have the sole
discretion to determine whether a subscription exercise properly follows the
subscription procedures.

No prior market exists for the subscription rights.

     The subscription rights are a new issue of securities with no established
trading market. The subscription rights are transferable until the close of
business on the last trading day prior to the expiration date of this rights
offering, at which time they will cease to have any value. However, we can give
no assurance that a market for the subscription rights will develop, or if a
market does develop, as to how long it will continue.

Risk of personal check

     Any personal check used to pay for shares to be issued in this rights
offering must clear prior to the expiration date of this rights offering, and
the clearing process may require five or more business days.

                          FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS


     This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in
such forward-looking statements. Such statements include, without limitation,
our expectations and estimates (whether qualitative or quantitative) as to:

     o   increases of our advertising and media spending to increase
         competitiveness and to support new product launches and core products,
         as well as improving the effectiveness of our advertising;

     o   the introduction of new products and further strengthening of our new
         product development process;

     o   our plans to improve the effectiveness of our retail wall displays
         in the United States;

     o   our plans to reduce the number of our SKUs in the United States,
         selectively adjust prices on certain of our products in the United
         States and optimize product availability to consumers by enhancing
         merchandiser coverage, continuing to develop our tamper evident program
         and reducing out of stocks;

     o   our plans to implement comprehensive programs to develop and train our
         employees;

     o   our future financial performance;

     o   the effect on sales of political and/or economic conditions, adverse
         currency fluctuations, military actions and competitive activities;

     o   our plans to accelerate the implementation of the stabilization and
         growth phase of our plan and the charges and the cash costs resulting
         from implementing such plan and the timing of such costs as well as our
         expectations for improved revenue as a result of such phase of our
         plan;

     o   restructuring activities, restructuring costs, and benefits from such
         activities;

     o   our expectation that cash flow from operations, cash on hand, cash
         available from this rights offering and the $50 million Series C
         preferred stock investment, if any, and availability of borrowings
         under the MacAndrews & Forbes $100 million term loan, the $40-65
         million line of credit, and our existing bank credit agreement, will be
         sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements in 2003, and the
         availability of funds from capital contributions or loans from
         MacAndrews & Forbes, our other affiliates and/or third parties;

     o   uses of funds, including for the purchase and reconfiguration of wall
         displays, increases in advertising and media, and to help fund a
         portion of the costs and expenses of the stabilization and growth phase
         of our plan and our estimates of operating expenses, working capital
         expenses, wall display costs, capital expenditures, restructuring costs
         or debt service payments;

     o   the effects of the loss of one or more customers, including, without
         limitation, Wal-Mart, and the status of our relationship with our
         customers;

     o   the effects of competitive responses to the implementation of our plan;
         and

     o   our ability to effectively execute the various elements of our plan.

     In addition, the documents incorporated in this prospectus by reference
contain other forward-looking statements. Statements that are not historical
facts, including statements about our beliefs and expectations, are
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by,
among other things, the use of forward-looking language, such as "believes,"
"expects," "estimates," "projects," "forecast," "may," "will," "should,"
"seeks," "plans," "scheduled to," "anticipates" or "intends" or the negative of
those terms, or other variations of those terms or comparable language, or by
discussions of strategy or intentions. A number of important factors could


                                       19


cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any
forward-looking statement. In addition to factors that may be described in our
filings with the SEC, including this filing, the following factors, among
others, could cause our actual results to differ materially from those
expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us:

     o   difficulties or delays in developing and/or presenting our increased
         advertising programs and/or improving the effectiveness of our
         advertising;

     o   difficulties or delays in developing and introducing new products or
         failure of customers to accept new product offerings and/or in further
         strengthening our new product development process;

     o   difficulties or delays or unanticipated costs associated with
         improving our wall displays in the United States;

     o   difficulties or delays in implementing our plans to reduce the number
         of SKUs in the United States, adjust prices of our products in the
         United States and/or optimize product availability to consumers;

     o   difficulties or delays in implementing comprehensive programs to train
         our employees;

     o   unanticipated circumstances or results affecting our financial
         performance, including changes in consumer preferences, such as reduced
         consumer demand for our color cosmetics and other current products, and
         actions by competitors, including business combinations, technological
         breakthroughs, new products offerings, promotional spending and
         marketing and promotional successes, including increases in market
         share;

     o   effects of and changes in political and/or economic conditions,
         including inflation, monetary conditions and military actions, and in
         trade, monetary, fiscal and tax policies in international markets;

     o   unanticipated costs or difficulties or delays in completing projects
         associated with the stabilization and growth phase of our plan;

     o   difficulties, delays or unanticipated costs or less than expected
         savings and other benefits resulting from our restructuring activities;

     o   lower than expected cash flow from operations, the inability to secure
         capital contributions or loans from MacAndrews & Forbes, our other
         affiliates and/or third parties or the unavailability of funds under
         our existing bank credit agreement, the MacAndrews & Forbes $100
         million term loan, the $50 million Series C preferred stock investment,
         if any, the $40-65 million line of credit or from this rights offering;

     o   higher than expected operating expenses, working capital expenses, wall
         display costs, capital expenditures, restructuring costs or debt
         service payments;

     o   combinations among significant customers or the loss, insolvency or
         failure to pay debts by a significant customer or customers;

     o   difficulties or delays in responding to competitive responses to the
         implementation of our plan; and

     o   difficulties, delays or unanticipated costs in the execution of
         elements of our plan.

     You should consider the areas of risk described above, as well as those
set forth in other documents we have filed with the SEC and which are
incorporated by reference into this prospectus, in connection with any
forward-looking statements that may be made by us. Forward-looking statements
speak only as of the date they are made, and, except for our ongoing obligations
to disclose material information under the federal securities laws, we undertake
no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however,
to consult any additional disclosures we make in our Quarterly Reports on Form
10-Q, Annual Report on Form 10-K and Current Reports on Form 8-K to the SEC

You Can Find More Information." The cautionary discussion of risks and
uncertainties under "Risk Factors" are factors that we think could cause our
actual results to differ materially from expected results. Factors other than
those listed above could cause our results to differ materially from expected
results. This discussion is provided as permitted by the Private Securities

                       SELECTED HISTORICAL AND UNAUDITED
                     PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA


     The selected historical consolidated financial data for each of the years
in the five-year period ended December 31, 2001 has been derived from our
audited consolidated financial statements, except for net sales, gross profit
and selling, general and administrative expenses in 1997 and 1998 which have
been adjusted to reflect the required reclassifications discussed below. The
selected historical financial data for the nine-month periods ended September
30, 2001 and 2002 and as of September 30, 2002 have been derived from our
unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements which reflect, in the
opinion of our management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial data for such periods.
Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for
the full year.

     In November 2001, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (the "EITF") reached
consensus on the Guidelines, which address when sales incentives and discounts
should be recognized, as well as where the related revenues and expenses should
be classified in the financial statements. We adopted the earlier portion of
these new Guidelines (formerly EITF Issue 00-14) addressing certain sales
incentives effective January 1, 2001 and, accordingly, all prior period
financial statements reflect the implementation of the earlier portion of the
Guidelines. The second portion of the Guidelines (formerly EITF Issue 00-25)
addresses vendor income statement characterization of consideration to a
purchaser of the vendor's products or services, including the classification of
slotting fees, cooperative advertising arrangements and buy-downs. We adopted
the second portion of the Guidelines effective January 1, 2002 and,
accordingly, the accompanying selected historical financial data for the
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2002 reflect the implementation
of the second portion of the Guidelines. For presentation purposes the
historical financial data for each of the years in the five-year period ended
December 31, 2001 has been restated to reflect the second portion of the
Guidelines. Such adoption did not have any impact on our reported operating
income (loss), net income (loss) or Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below).

     You should read "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations," the consolidated financial statements and
related notes, the report of our independent auditors included in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, incorporated
by reference in this prospectus, and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations," the unaudited consolidated
condensed financial statements and related notes included in our Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2002, incorporated by
reference in this prospectus.

     We have not implemented the new SEC rules regarding non-GAAP financial
measures as they apply to financial statements for periods ending after March
28, 2003. We will apply such rules to our results for the fiscal quarter ending
March 31, 2003.

              NOTES TO SELECTED HISTORICAL AND UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
                          CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA

(a)    In March 2000 and May 2000, we completed the disposition of our
       worldwide professional products line and our Plusbelle brand in
       Argentina, respectively. In July 2001, we completed the disposition
       of our Colorama brand and facility in Brazil. Accordingly, the
       selected consolidated financial data include the results of
       operations of the professional products line, Plusbelle and Colorama
       brands through the dates of their respective dispositions.

(b)    The impact of the second portion of the Guidelines for each of the
       years in the five-year period ended December 31, 2001 on reported
       net sales, gross profit and selling, general and administrative
       expenses was $(79.9), $(85.6), $(80.1), $(38.4) and $(43.9),
       respectively. The Guidelines do not affect our operating income
       (loss), net income (loss) or Adjusted EBITDA.

(c)    In 1997, we incurred restructuring costs of $20.6 million in
       connection with the implementation of our business strategy to
       rationalize factory operations. These costs primarily included
       severance and other costs related to the rationalization of certain
       factory and warehouse operations worldwide. Such costs were
       partially offset by an approximately $12.7 million settlement of a
       claim and gains of approximately $4.3 million on the sales of
       certain factory operations outside the United States.

(d)    In late 1998, we developed a strategy to reduce overall costs and
       streamline operations. To execute against this strategy, we began to
       develop a restructuring plan and executed the plan in several
       phases, which has resulted in several restructuring charges being
       recorded.

       In the fourth quarter of 1998, we began to execute the 1998
       restructuring program which was designed to realign and reduce
       personnel, exit excess leased real estate, realign and consolidate
       regional activities, reconfigure certain manufacturing operations and
       exit certain product lines and recognized a charge of $44.2 million,
       which includes $2.7 million charged to cost of sales. In 1998, we
       recognized gains of approximately $8.4 million for the sales of
       certain non-core assets.

(e)    In the first nine months of 1999, we continued to execute the 1998
       restructuring program and we recorded an additional net charge of
       $20.5 million, principally for employee severance and other personnel
       benefits and obligations for excess leased real estate primarily in
       the United States. Also in 1999, we exited from a non-core business,
       resulting in a charge of $1.6 million.

       During the fourth quarter of 1999, we continued to restructure our
       organization and began a new program in line with our original
       restructuring plan developed in late 1998, principally for additional
       employee severance and other personnel benefits and to restructure
       certain operations outside the United States, including certain
       operations in Japan, resulting in a charge of $18.1 million.

       During the fourth quarter of 1999, we recorded a charge to selling,
       general and administrative expenses of $22.0 million related to
       executive separation costs related to this new program.

(f)    In the first and second quarter of 2000, we recorded charges of $9.5
       million and $5.1 million, respectively, relating to the 1999
       restructuring program that began in the fourth quarter of 1999.

       During the third quarter of 2000, we continued to re-evaluate our
       organizational structure. As part of this re-evaluation, we initiated
       a new restructuring program in line with our original restructuring
       plan developed in late 1998 designed to improve profitability by
       reducing personnel and consolidating manufacturing facilities. The
       2000 restructuring program focused on closing our manufacturing
       operations in Phoenix, Arizona and Mississauga, Canada and to
       consolidate production into our plant in Oxford, North Carolina. The
       2000 restructuring program also includes the remaining obligation for
       excess leased real estate at our headquarters, consolidation costs
       associated with closing our facility in New Zealand, and the
       elimination of several domestic and international executive and
       operational positions, each of which were effected to reduce and
       streamline corporate overhead costs. In the third quarter of 2000, we
       recorded a charge of $13.7 million for programs begun in the quarter
       as well as for the expanded scope of programs previously commenced. In
       the fourth quarter of 2000, we recorded a charge of $25.8 million
       related to the 2000 restructuring program, principally for additional
       employee severance and other personnel benefits and to consolidate
       worldwide operations.


                                       24


     During the fourth quarter of 2000, we recorded $4.9 million to cost of
     sales related to additional costs associated with the consolidation of
     worldwide operations.

(g)  In the first, second, third and fourth quarters of 2001, we recorded
     charges of $14.6 million, $7.9 million, $3.0 million and $12.6 million,
     respectively, related to the 2000 restructuring program, principally for
     additional employee severance and other personnel benefits, relocation and
     other costs related to the consolidation of worldwide operations and the
     charge in the fourth quarter of 2001 also was for an adjustment to previous
     estimates of approximately $6.6 million.

     In the first nine months of 2001 and the fourth quarter of 2001, we
     recorded $30.6 million and $7.6 million, respectively, to cost of sales
     (which includes $6.1 million of increased depreciation in the first nine
     months of 2001) and $6.9 million and ($1.5) million, respectively, to
     selling, general and administrative expenses related to additional costs
     associated with the shutdown of our Phoenix and Canadian facilities.

(h)  During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, we continued to
     implement the 2000 restructuring program, as well as other restructuring
     actions, and recorded a charge of $9.3 million, principally for additional
     employee severance and other personal benefits, primarily resulting from
     reduction of our worldwide sales force, relocation and other costs related
     to the consolidation of worldwide operations.

     During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, we recorded a charge
     of $1.3 million to cost of sales and $8.4 million ($8.3 million of which
     are executive separation costs) to selling, general and administrative
     expenses related to additional costs associated with the shutdown of our
     Phoenix and Canadian facilities.

(i)  We define Adjusted EBITDA as income (loss) from continuing operations
     before (i) provision for income taxes, (ii) interest expense, net, (iii)
     amortization of debt issuance costs, (iv) loss (gain) on sales of product
     line, brands and facilities sold, net, (v) miscellaneous, net, (vi) EBITDA
     from product line, brands and facilities sold and (vii) restructuring costs
     and other, net, and additional costs associated with the consolidation of
     our worldwide operations and executive separation costs, plus depreciation
     and amortization other than that relating to early extinguishment of debt,
     discount and debt issuance costs. Adjusted EBITDA is presented here as a
     measure of our debt service ability, not of our operating results. Adjusted
     EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for net
     income or cash flow from operations prepared in accordance with accounting
     principles generally accepted in the United States of America or as a
     measure of our profitability or liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA does not take
     into account our debt service requirements and other commitments and,
     accordingly, is not necessarily indicative of amounts that may be available
     for discretionary uses. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA may be defined
     differently for purposes of our credit agreement. Furthermore, other
     companies may define Adjusted EBITDA differently and as a result our
     Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to that of other companies.

(j)  On January 1, 2002, we adopted FASB Statement 142, "Goodwill and Other
     Intangible Assets." Statement 142 requires that goodwill and other
     intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but
     instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the
     provisions of Statement 142. Intangible assets consist of net trademarks,
     patents and goodwill. Amounts outstanding for those intangible assets are
     as follows:

     Amortization expense related to intangible assets was $14.0 million, $10.5
     million and $9.2 million for the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and
     2001, respectively.

     In connection with the adoption of Statement 142, amortization of goodwill
     ceased on January 1, 2002. Amortization expense related to goodwill was
     $12.8 million, $9.0 million and $7.7 million for the years ended December
     31, 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively. Net loss and basic and diluted net
     loss per common share presented exclude amortization expense related to
     goodwill for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001.

(k)  Pro forma basic and diluted loss per common share reflects an adjustment to
     reflect the number of additional shares issued for the excess of the
     subscription price of $ per share over the fair value of our Class A common
     stock (the closing price per share of our Class A common stock on the NYSE
     on the last day on which the shares are traded, together with the rights,
     of $   per share). This difference is reflected in a manner similar to a
     stock dividend in accordance with FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per
     Share. As a result, pro forma basic and diluted loss per common share
     reflect a decrease in loss per common share of $ for the year ended
     December 31, 2001 and $ for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

                                       26


     Basic and diluted income (loss) from continuing operations per common share
     for each of the years in the five-year period ended December 31, 2001 and
     for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2002 have not been
     restated to reflect this adjustment. If at the time of the consummation of
     this rights offering, the fair value of the shares is more than the
     subscription price determined pursuant to the formula described on page v,
     basic and diluted earnings per share will be restated for all periods
     presented, similar to a stock dividend.

     In addition, pro forma results reflect the increase in interest expense of
     $ million or $ pro forma basic and diluted loss per common share and $
     million or $    pro forma basic and diluted loss per common share,
     respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2001 and the nine months
     ended September 30, 2002, as if the MacAndrews & Forbes $100 million term
     loan was fully drawn on January 1, 2001 at an interest rate of 12.0% per
     annum and the effects of the amendments to the credit agreement.

     The $40-65 million line of credit is not assumed to be drawn for pro
     forma purposes, nor is the $50 million Series C preferred stock investment
     expected to be advanced. Therefore no adjustments to pro forma net loss and
     pro forma basic and diluted net loss per common share are reflected for the
     year ended December 31, 2001 and the nine-months ended September 30, 2002
     for these transactions.

                              THE RIGHTS OFFERING

REASONS FOR THE RIGHTS OFFERING

     On February 5, 2003, we announced that our board of directors, at the
recommendation of its special committee of independent directors, had discussed
and authorized:

     o    the MacAndrews & Forbes $100 million term loan, the $50 million Series
          C preferred stock investment, if any, and the $40-65 million line of
          credit from MacAndrews & Forbes to Products Corporation;

     o    the commencement of this rights offering; and

     o    the Investment Agreement under which MacAndrews & Forbes agreed to
          take certain actions with regard to this rights offering, including,
          without limitation, its agreement to make the $50 million Series C
          preferred stock investment if, prior to closing this rights offering,
          we have fully drawn the MacAndrews & Forbes $100 million term loan.

     This rights offering is being made in connection with the stabilization
and growth phase of our plan, which involves, among other things, increasing
advertising and media spending, making certain changes to our newly-configured
in-store wall displays in the United States and reconfiguring existing wall
displays at our retail accounts in the United States, reducing the number of
our SKUs in the United States, selectively adjusting prices on certain products
in the United States, optimizing product availability to consumers and further
strengthening our new product development process. If this rights offering is
canceled, any funds we or the subscription agent have received from you will be
promptly refunded, without interest or deduction.

     In reaching its conclusion, our board of directors considered a number of
factors, including:

     o    our needs for cash to help fund a portion of the costs and expenses of
          the stabilization and growth phase of our plan and to help satisfy
          anticipated obligations arising from the implementation of such plan;

     o    the opportunity that this rights offering allows all of our
          stockholders on the rights offering record date to participate and
          acquire additional shares of our Class A common stock at a discount to
          the market price;

     o    concerns as to the availability of other financing alternatives, in
          light of the difficulties faced by the company in raising equity
          capital or debt on terms as favorable as the MacAndrews & Forbes
          proposal in light of the current state of the capital markets and our
          business;

     o    the subscription price relative to our Class A common stock's
          historical and recent trading price and pricing policies customary for
          transactions of this type;

     o    MacAndrews & Forbes' willingness to purchase the full number of shares
          of our Class A common stock it would have been entitled to subscribe
          for in this rights offering in accordance with its basic subscription
          privilege and to purchase all of the shares of our Class A common
          stock not subscribed for by our other stockholders pursuant to their
          basic subscription privileges and their over-subscription privileges,
          which ensured that the maximum of $50 million would be raised in this
          rights offering, as well as its willingness to subordinate its
          over-subscription rights that it otherwise would be entitled to
          exercise in order to enhance the over-subscription privileges of our
          other stockholders;

     o    the potential impact of this rights offering on relative voting and
          ownership interests of our stockholders as described under "Effects of
          Rights Offering on the MacAndrews & Forbes' Securities and Ownership"
          included elsewhere in this prospectus; and

     o    the potential tax consequences of this rights offering.

Neither our board of directors nor its special committee is making any
recommendation as to whether or not you should exercise or sell your
subscription rights.


                                       28


THE RIGHTS

     We will distribute to each holder of our Class A and Class B common stock
who is a record holder of our Class A and Class B common stock on the rights
offering record date, which is 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on , 2003, at no
charge, transferable subscription right for each share of Class A and Class B
common stock owned, for a total of approximately subscription rights. The
subscription rights will be evidenced by transferable subscription rights
certificates. Each subscription right will allow you to purchase share[s] of our
Class A common stock at a price of $ . If you elect to exercise your basic
subscription privilege in full, you may also subscribe, at the subscription
price, for additional shares of our Class A common stock under your
over-subscription privilege. If a sufficient number of shares of our Class A
common stock is unavailable to fully satisfy the over-subscription privilege
requests, the available shares of Class A common stock will be sold pro rata
among subscription rights holders who exercised their over-subscription
privilege based on the number of shares each subscription rights holder
subscribed for under the basic subscription privilege. If a sufficient number of
shares of our Class A common stock is unavailable to fully satisfy the
over-subscription privilege requests, the available shares of Class A common
stock will be sold pro rata among subscription rights holders who exercised
their over-subscription based on the number of shares of our Class A common
stock each subscription rights holder subscribed for under the basic
subscription privilege. MacAndrews & Forbes has agreed not to exercise its
over-subscription privilege in order to enhance the over-subscription privileges
of our other Class A common stockholders. We have not engaged an underwriter in
connection with this rights offering.

NO FRACTIONAL RIGHTS

     We will not issue fractional subscription rights or cash in lieu of
fractional subscription rights. Fractional subscription rights will be rounded,
as appropriate, to the nearest whole number with such adjustments as may be
necessary to ensure that we will receive gross proceeds of $50 million from this
rights offering.

     You may request that the subscription agent divide your subscription
rights certificate into transferable parts, for instance, if you are the record
holder for a number of beneficial holders of our common stock. However, the
subscription agent will not divide your subscription rights certificate so that
you would receive any fractional subscription rights.

EXPIRATION OF THE RIGHTS OFFERING

     You may exercise your subscription rights at any time before 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on           , 2003, the expiration date for this rights
offering. We may, in our sole discretion, extend the time for exercising the
subscription rights.

     If you do not exercise your subscription rights before the expiration date
of this rights offering, your unexercised subscription rights will be null and
void. We will not be obligated to honor your exercise of subscription rights if
the subscription agent receives the documents relating to your exercise after
this rights offering expires, regardless of when you transmitted the documents,
except if you have timely transmitted the documents under the guaranteed
delivery procedures described below. We may extend the expiration date of this
rights offering by giving oral or written notice to the subscription agent and
information agent on or before the scheduled expiration date. If we elect to
extend the expiration of this rights offering, we will issue a press release
announcing such extension no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the
next business day after the most recently announced expiration date.

SUBSCRIPTION PRIVILEGES

     Your subscription rights entitle you to a basic subscription privilege and
an over-subscription privilege.

     Basic Subscription Privilege. With your basic subscription privilege, you
may purchase       share[s] of our Class A common stock per subscription right,
upon delivery of the required documents


                                       29


and payment of the subscription price of $     per share. You are not required
to exercise all of your subscription rights unless you wish to purchase shares
under your over-subscription privilege. We will deliver to you or your broker
certificates representing the shares that you purchased with your basic
subscription privilege as soon as practicable after this rights offering has
expired.

     Over-Subscription Privilege. In addition to your basic subscription
privilege, you may subscribe for additional shares of our Class A common stock,
upon delivery of the required documents and payment of the subscription price
of $     per share, before the expiration of this rights offering. You may only
exercise your over-subscription privilege if you exercised your basic
subscription privilege in full and other holders of subscription rights do not
exercise their basic subscription privileges in full.

     Pro Rata Allocation. If there are not enough shares of our Class A common
stock to satisfy all subscriptions made under the over-subscription privilege,
we will allocate the remaining shares of our Class A common stock pro rata,
after eliminating all fractional shares, among those over-subscribing rights
holders. "Pro rata" means in proportion to the number of shares of our Class A
common stock that you and the other subscription rights holders have purchased
by exercising your basic subscription privileges. If there is a pro rata
allocation of the remaining shares of our Class A common stock and you receive
an allocation of a greater number of shares than you subscribed for under your
over-subscription privilege, then we will allocate to you only the number of
shares for which you subscribed. We will allocate the remaining shares among
all other holders exercising their over-subscription privileges.

     MacAndrews & Forbes will not be allocated any additional shares of our
Class A common stock as part of its over-subscription privilege because it has
agreed in the Investment Agreement not to exercise its over-subscription
privilege.

     Full Exercise of Basic Subscription Privilege. You may exercise your
over-subscription privilege only if you exercise your basic subscription
privilege in full. To determine if you have fully exercised your basic
subscription privilege, we will consider only the basic subscription privileges
held by you in the same capacity. For example, suppose that you were granted
subscription rights for shares of our Class A common stock that you own
individually and shares of our Class A common stock that you own collectively
with your spouse. If you wish to exercise your over-subscription privilege with
respect to the subscription rights you own individually, but not with respect
to the subscription rights you own collectively with your spouse, you only need
to fully exercise your basic subscription privilege with respect to your
individually owned subscription rights. You do not have to subscribe for any
shares under the basic subscription privilege owned collectively with your
spouse to exercise your individual over-subscription privilege.

     When you complete the portion of your subscription rights certificate to
exercise your over-subscription privilege, you will be representing and
certifying that you have fully exercised your subscription privileges as to
shares of our Class A common stock that you hold in that capacity. You must
exercise your over-subscription privilege at the same time you exercise your
basic subscription privilege in full.

     Return of Excess Payment. If you exercised your over-subscription
privilege and are allocated less than all of the shares of our Class A common
stock for which you wished to subscribe, your excess payment for shares that
were not allocated to you will be returned to you by mail, without interest or
deduction, as soon as practicable after the expiration date of this rights
offering. We will deliver to you or your broker certificates representing the
shares of our Class A common stock that you purchased as soon as practicable
after the expiration date of this rights offering and after all pro rata
allocations and adjustments have been completed.

CONDITIONS TO THIS RIGHTS OFFERING

     We may terminate this rights offering, in whole or in part, if at any time
before completion of this rights offering there is any judgment, order, decree,
injunction, statute, law or regulation entered, enacted, amended or held to be
applicable to this rights offering that in the sole judgment of our board of
directors would or might make this rights offering or its completion, whether
in whole or in


                                       30


part, illegal or otherwise restrict or prohibit completion of this rights
offering. We may waive any of these conditions and choose to proceed with this
rights offering even if one or more of these events occur. If we terminate this
rights offering, in whole or in part, all affected subscription rights will
expire without value and all subscription payments received by the subscription
agent will be returned promptly, without interest or deduction. See also
"--Cancellation Rights".

METHOD OF SUBSCRIPTION--EXERCISE OF RIGHTS

     You may exercise your subscription rights by delivering the following to
the subscription agent, at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on
          , 2003, the expiration date of this rights offering:

     o    Your properly completed and executed subscription rights certificate
          with any required signature guarantees or other supplemental
          documentation; and

     o    Your full subscription price payment for each share subscribed for
          under your subscription privileges.

     If you are a beneficial owner of shares of our common stock whose shares
are registered in the name of a broker, custodian bank or other nominee, you
should instruct your broker, custodian bank or other nominee to exercise your
rights and deliver all documents and payment on your behalf prior to 5:00 p.m.
New York City time on            , 2003, the expiration date of this rights
offering.

     Your subscription rights will not be considered exercised unless the
subscription agent receives from you, your broker, custodian or nominee, as the
case may be, all of the required documents and your full subscription price
payment prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on           , 2003, the
expiration date of this rights offering.

METHOD OF PAYMENT

     Your payment of the subscription price must be made in U.S. dollars for
the full number of shares of Class A common stock for which you are subscribing
by either:

     o    check or bank draft drawn upon a U.S. bank or postal, telegraphic or
          express money order payable to the subscription agent; or

     o    wire transfer of immediately available funds, to the subscription
          account maintained by the subscription agent at JPMorgan Chase Bank,
          ABA No. 021 000 021, Account No. 323-113109.

RECEIPT OF PAYMENT

     Your payment will be considered received by the subscription agent only
upon:

     o    Clearance of any uncertified check;

     o    Receipt by the subscription agent of any certified check or bank draft
          drawn upon a U.S. bank or of any postal, telegraphic or express money
          order; or

     o    Receipt of collected funds in the subscription account designated
          above.


CLEARANCE OF UNCERTIFIED CHECKS

     If you are paying by uncertified personal check, please note that
uncertified checks may take at least five (5) business days to clear. If you
wish to pay the subscription price by uncertified personal check, we urge you
to make payment sufficiently in advance of the time this rights offering
expires to ensure that your payment is received by the subscription agent and
clears by the rights offering expiration date. We urge you to consider using a
certified or cashier's check, money order or wire transfer of funds to avoid
missing the opportunity to exercise your subscription rights should you decide
to exercise your subscription rights.

DELIVERY OF SUBSCRIPTION MATERIALS AND PAYMENT

     You should deliver your subscription rights certificate and payment of the
subscription price or, if applicable, notices of guaranteed delivery, to the
subscription agent by one of the methods described below:


                                       31


   If by mail to:
   AMERICAN STOCK TRANSFER & TRUST COMPANY
   59 Maiden Lane
   New York, NY 10038

   If by hand delivery or overnight courier to:
   AMERICAN STOCK TRANSFER & TRUST COMPANY
   6201 15th Avenue
   Brooklyn, NY 11219

     Banks and brokerage firms should use the 59 Maiden Lane address.

     You may call the subscription agent at (718) 921-8200.

     Your delivery to an address other than the addresses set forth above will
not constitute valid delivery.

CALCULATION OF SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS EXERCISED

     If you do not indicate the number of subscription rights being exercised,
or do not forward full payment of the total subscription price payment for the
number of subscription rights that you indicate are being exercised, then you
will be deemed to have exercised your basic subscription privilege with respect
to the maximum number of subscription rights that may be exercised with the
aggregate subscription price payment you delivered to the subscription agent.
If your aggregate subscription price payment is greater than the amount you owe
for your subscription, you will be deemed to have exercised your
over-subscription privilege to purchase the maximum number of shares of our
Class A common stock with your over-payment. If we do not apply your full
subscription price payment to your purchase of shares of our Class A common
stock, we or the subscription agent will return the excess amount to you by
mail, without interest or deduction, as soon as practicable after the
expiration date of this rights offering.

EXERCISING A PORTION OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS

     If you subscribe for fewer than all of the shares of our Class A common
stock represented by your subscription rights certificate, you may receive from
the subscription agent a new subscription rights certificate representing your
unused subscription rights. However, all subscription rights must be exercised
prior to the expiration date of this rights offering, or else your subscription
rights will be null and void. We will not issue any subscription rights
certificates for unexercised subscription rights after the rights offering
expiration date.

YOUR FUNDS WILL BE HELD BY THE SUBSCRIPTION AGENT UNTIL SHARES OF OUR CLASS A
COMMON STOCK ARE ISSUED

     The subscription agent will hold your payment of the subscription price
payment in a segregated account with other payments received from other
subscription rights holders until we issue your shares of our Class A common
stock to you upon consummation of the rights offering.

NO FRACTIONAL SHARES

     No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the subscription
rights. We will instead round the number of shares upon exercise of the
subscription rights, as appropriate, to the nearest whole number.

MEDALLION GUARANTEE MAY BE REQUIRED

     Your signature on each subscription rights certificate must be guaranteed
by an eligible institution, such as a member firm of a registered national
securities exchange or a member of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc., or a commercial bank or trust company having an office or
correspondent in the United States, subject to standards and procedures adopted
by the subscription agent, unless:


                                       32


     o    Your subscription rights certificate provides that shares are to be
          delivered to you as record holder of those subscription rights; or

     o    You are an eligible institution.

NOTICE TO BENEFICIAL HOLDERS

     If you are a broker, a trustee or a depositary for securities who holds
shares of our common stock for the account of others on           , 2003, the
rights offering record date, you should notify the respective beneficial owners
of such shares of this rights offering as soon as possible to find out their
intentions with respect to exercising or selling their subscription rights. You
should obtain instructions from the beneficial owner with respect to their
subscription rights, as set forth in the instructions we have provided to you
for your distribution to beneficial owners. If the beneficial owner so
instructs, you should complete the appropriate subscription rights certificates
and submit them to the subscription agent with the proper payment. If you hold
shares of our common stock for the account(s) of more than one beneficial
owner, you may exercise the number of subscription rights to which all such
beneficial owners in the aggregate otherwise would have been entitled had they
been direct record holders of our common stock on the rights offering record
date, provided that, you, as a nominee record holder, make a proper showing to
the subscription agent by submitting the form entitled "Nominee Holder
Certification" that we will provide to you with your rights offering materials.
If you did not receive this form, you should contact the subscription agent to
request a copy.

BENEFICIAL OWNERS

     If you are a beneficial owner of shares of our common stock or will
receive your subscription rights through a broker, custodian bank or other
nominee, we will ask your broker, custodian bank or other nominee to notify you
of this rights offering. If you wish to exercise or sell your subscription
rights, you will need to have your broker, custodian bank or other nominee act
for you. If you hold certificates of our common stock directly and would prefer
to have your broker, custodian bank or other nominee act for you, you should
contact your nominee and request it to effect the transactions for you. To
indicate your decision with respect to your subscription rights, you should
complete and return to your broker, custodian bank or other nominee the form
entitled "Beneficial Owners Election Form." You should receive this form from
your broker, custodian bank or other nominee with the other rights offering
materials. If you wish to obtain a separate subscription rights certificate,
you should contact the nominee as soon as possible and request that a separate
subscription rights certificate be issued to you. You should contact your
broker, custodian bank or other nominee if you do not receive this form, but
you believe you are entitled to participate in this rights offering. We are not
responsible if you do not receive the form from your broker, custodian bank or
nominee or if you receive it without sufficient time to respond.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING YOUR SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS CERTIFICATE

     You should read and follow the instructions accompanying the subscription
rights certificates carefully.

     You are responsible for the method of delivery of your subscription rights
certificate(s) with your subscription price payment to the subscription agent.
If you send your subscription rights certificate(s) and subscription price
payment by mail, we recommend that you send them by registered mail, properly
insured, with return receipt requested. You should allow a sufficient number of
days to ensure delivery to the subscription agent prior to the time this rights
offering expires. Because uncertified personal checks may take at least five
(5) business days to clear, you are strongly urged to pay, or arrange for
payment, by means of a certified or cashier's check, money order or wire
transfer of funds.

DETERMINATIONS REGARDING THE EXERCISE OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS

     We will decide all questions concerning the timeliness, validity, form and
eligibility of the exercise of your subscription rights and any such
determinations by us will be final and binding. We, in our


                                       33


sole discretion, may waive, in any particular instance, any defect or
irregularity, or permit, in any particular instance, a defect or irregularity
to be corrected within such time as we may determine. We will not be required
to make uniform determinations in all cases. We may reject the exercise of any
of your subscription rights because of any defect or irregularity. We will not
accept any exercise of subscription rights until all irregularities have been
waived by us or cured by you within such time as we decide, in our sole
discretion.

     Neither we, nor the subscription agent, will be under any duty to notify
you of any defect or irregularity in connection with your submission of
subscription rights certificates and we will not be liable for failure to
notify you of any defect or irregularity. We reserve the right to reject your
exercise of subscription rights if your exercise is not in accordance with the
terms of this rights offering or in proper form. We will also not accept the
exercise of your subscription rights if our issuance of shares of our Class A
common stock to you could be deemed unlawful under applicable law or is
materially burdensome to us.

REGULATORY LIMITATION

     We will not be required to issue to you shares of our Class A common stock
pursuant to this rights offering if, in our opinion, you would be required to
obtain prior clearance or approval from any state or federal regulatory
authorities to own or control such shares if, at the time this rights offering
expires, you have not obtained such clearance or approval.

GUARANTEED DELIVERY PROCEDURES

     If you wish to exercise your subscription rights, but you do not have
sufficient time to deliver the subscription rights certificate evidencing your
subscription rights to the subscription agent on or before the time this rights
offering expires, you may exercise your subscription rights by the following
guaranteed delivery procedures:

     o    Deliver to the subscription agent on or prior to the rights offering
          expiration date your subscription price payment in full for each share
          you subscribed for under your subscription privileges in the manner

     o    Deliver to the subscription agent on or prior to the expiration date
          the form entitled "Notice of Guaranteed Delivery", substantially in

QUESTIONS ABOUT EXERCISING SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS

     If you have any questions or require assistance regarding the method of
exercising your subscription rights or requests for additional copies of this
prospectus, the Instructions as to the Use of Revlon, Inc. Subscription Rights
Certificates or the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, you should contact the
information agent at the address and telephone number set forth above under
"Questions and Answers About the Rights Offering" included elsewhere in this
prospectus.

SUBSCRIPTION AGENT AND INFORMATION AGENT

     We have appointed American Stock Transfer & Trust Company to act as
subscription agent and D.F. King & Co., Inc. to act as information agent for
this rights offering. We will pay all fees and expenses of the subscription
agent and the information agent related to this rights offering and have also
agreed to indemnify the subscription agent and the information agent from
liabilities that they may incur in connection with this rights offering.

NO REVOCATION

     Once you have exercised your subscription privileges, you may not revoke
your exercise. Subscription rights not exercised prior to the expiration date
of this rights offering will expire and will have no value.

PROCEDURES FOR DTC PARTICIPANTS

     We expect that the exercise of your basic subscription privilege and your
over-subscription privilege may be made through the facilities of the
Depository Trust Company. If your subscription rights are held of record
through DTC, you may exercise your basic subscription privilege and your
over-subscription privilege by instructing DTC to transfer your subscription
rights from your account to the account of the subscription agent, together
with certification as to the aggregate number of subscription rights you are
exercising and the number of shares of our Class A common stock you are
subscribing for under your basic subscription privilege and your
over-subscription privilege, if any, and your subscription price payment for
each share of our Class A common stock that you subscribed for pursuant to your
basic subscription privilege and your over-subscription privilege.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE

     The subscription price is $     per share. For more information with
respect to how the subscription price was determined, see "Questions and
Answers About the Rights Offering" included elsewhere in this prospectus.

FOREIGN AND OTHER STOCKHOLDERS

     Subscription rights certificates will be mailed to subscription rights
holders whose addresses are outside the United States or who have an APO or FPO
address. To exercise such subscription rights, you must notify the subscription
agent, and take all other steps which are necessary to exercise your
subscription rights on or prior to the expiration date of this rights offering.
Your subscription rights will expire and will have no value if the procedures
set forth in the preceding sentence are not followed prior to the expiration
date.


                                       35


EXPIRATION DATE, EXTENSIONS AND TERMINATION

     We may extend this rights offering and the period for exercising your
subscription rights, in our sole discretion. The subscription rights will
expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on           , 2003, unless we decide
to extend this rights offering. If the commencement of this rights offering is
delayed for a period of time, the expiration date of this rights offering will
be similarly extended. If you do not exercise your basic subscription privilege
prior to the expiration date of this rights offering, your subscription rights
will be null and void and will have no value. We will not be required to issue
shares of our Class A common stock to you if the subscription agent receives
your subscription certificate or your payment after that time, regardless of
when you sent the subscription certificate and payment, unless you send the
documents in compliance with the guaranteed delivery procedures described
above. In addition, we may terminate this rights offering, in whole or in part,
at any time prior to the time this rights offering expires.

METHOD OF TRANSFERRING AND SELLING SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS

     We anticipate that the subscription rights will be traded on the NYSE
under the symbol " ". We expect that subscription rights may be purchased or
sold through usual investment channels until the close of business on the last
trading day preceding the expiration date. However, there has been no prior
public market for the subscription rights, and we cannot assure you that a
trading market for the subscription rights will develop or, if a market
develops, that the market will remain available throughout the subscription
period. We also cannot assure you of the price at which the subscription rights
will trade, if at all. If you do not exercise or sell your subscription rights
you will lose any value inherent in the subscription rights. See "--General
Considerations Regarding the Partial Exercise, Transfer or Sale of Subscription
Rights" below.

     Transfer of Subscription Rights. You may transfer subscription rights in
whole by endorsing the subscription rights certificate for transfer. Please
follow the instructions for transfer included in the information sent to you
with your subscription rights certificate. If you wish to transfer only a
portion of the subscription rights, you should deliver your properly endorsed
subscription rights certificate to the subscription agent. With your
subscription rights certificate, you should include instructions to register
such portion of the subscription rights evidenced thereby in the name of the
transferee (and to issue a new subscription rights certificate to the
transferee evidencing such transferred subscription rights). You may only
transfer whole subscription rights and not fractions of a subscription right.
If there is sufficient time before the expiration of this rights offering, the
subscription agent will send you a new subscription rights certificate
evidencing the balance of your subscription rights which you did not transfer
to the transferee. You may also instruct the subscription agent to send the
subscription rights certificate to one or more additional transferees. If you
wish to sell your remaining subscription rights, you may request that the
subscription agent send you certificates representing your remaining (whole)
subscription rights so that you may sell them through your broker or dealer.

     If you wish to transfer all or a portion of your subscription rights, you
should allow a sufficient amount of time prior to the time the subscription
rights expire for the subscription agent to:

     o    receive and process your transfer instructions; and

     o    issue and transmit a new subscription rights certificate to your
          transferee or transferees with respect to transferred subscription
          rights, and to you with respect to any subscription rights you
          retained.

     If you wish to transfer your subscription rights to any person other than
a bank or broker, the signatures on your subscription rights certificate must
be guaranteed by an eligible institution.

     General Considerations Regarding the Partial Exercise, Transfer or Sale of
Subscription Rights. The amount of time needed by your transferee to exercise
or sell its subscription rights depends upon the method by which you, as the
transferor, delivers the subscription rights certificates, the method of
payment made by your transferee and the number of transactions which the holder
instructs the subscription agent to effect. You should also allow up to ten
business days for your transferee to exercise or sell the subscription rights
that you transferred to it. Neither we nor the


                                       36


subscription agent will be liable to a transferee or transferor of subscription
rights if subscription rights certificates or any other required documents are
not received in time for exercise or sale prior to the expiration time.

     You will receive a new subscription rights certificate upon a partial
exercise, transfer or sale of subscription rights only if the subscription
agent receives your properly endorsed subscription rights certificate no later
than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, five business days before the expiration
date. The subscription agent will not issue a new subscription rights
certificate if your subscription rights certificate is received after that time
and date. If your instructions and subscription rights certificate are received
by the subscription agent after that time and date, you will not receive a new
subscription rights certificate and therefore will not be able to sell or
exercise your remaining subscription rights.

     You are responsible for all commissions, fees and other expenses
(including brokerage commissions and transfer taxes) incurred in connection
with the purchase, sale or exercise of your subscription rights, except that we
will pay any fees of the subscription agent and information agent associated
with this rights offering. Any amounts you owe will be deducted from your
account.

     If you do not exercise your subscription rights before the expiration
date, your subscription rights will expire without value and will no longer be
exercisable.

CANCELLATION RIGHTS

     Our board of directors may cancel this rights offering, in whole or in
part, in its sole discretion at any time prior to the time this rights offering
expires for any reason (including a change in the market price of our Class A
common stock). If we cancel this rights offering, any funds you paid to the
subscription agent will be promptly refunded, without interest or deduction.

NO BOARD OR SPECIAL COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

     An investment in shares of our Class A common stock must be made according
to each investor's evaluation of its own best interests and after considering
all of the information in this prospectus, including the "Risk Factors" section
of this prospectus and all of the information incorporated by reference in this
prospectus. Our board of directors and the special committee of our board of
directors makes no recommendation to subscription rights holders regarding
whether they should exercise or sell their subscription rights. You should not
view MacAndrews & Forbes' agreements under the Investment Agreement as a
recommendation or other indication by MacAndrews & Forbes or our board of
directors that the exercise of your subscription rights is in your best
interests.

SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OUTSTANDING AFTER THE RIGHTS OFFERING

     Based on the         shares of our Class A common stock issued and
outstanding as of         , 2003, approximately     million shares of our Class
A common stock will be issued and outstanding after this rights offering
expires, an increase in the number of outstanding shares of our Class A common
stock of approximately    %. The 31,250,000 shares of our Class B common stock,
all of which are beneficially owned by MacAndrews & Forbes, will remain
outstanding.

EFFECTS OF RIGHTS OFFERING ON STOCK PLAN AND OTHER PLANS

     As of December 31, 2002, there were outstanding 2,005,000 restricted
shares and options to purchase 7,886,064 shares of our Class A common stock
issued or committed to be issued pursuant to stock options granted by us and
our affiliates. None of the outstanding options or restricted shares have
antidilution or other provisions of adjustment that will be triggered by this
rights offering. Each outstanding and unexercised option will remain unchanged
and will be exercisable, subject to vesting, if any, for the same number of
shares of our Class A common stock and at the same exercise price as before
this rights offering. Similarly, each restricted share will remain unchanged.

EFFECTS OF RIGHTS OFFERING ON THE MACANDREWS & FORBES' SECURITIES AND OWNERSHIP

     Even though the subscription rights will be offered on a one-for-one basis
to each holder of our Class A and Class B common stock, because of MacAndrews &
Forbes' commitment to back-stop this


                                       37


rights offering, the percentage of common stock owned by other stockholders
will decrease unless all of the other stockholders exercise the subscription
rights they will receive in full.

     Set forth below, for illustrative purposes only are two scenarios that
indicate the effect that this rights offering and related share issuance could
have on MacAndrews & Forbes' relative voting and economic interest. As of the
date of this prospectus, MacAndrews & Forbes controls approximately 97% of the
voting power of our outstanding capital stock and owns approximately 83% of our
outstanding common stock.

     SCENARIO A -- All subscription rights are subscribed for on a pro rata
basis by all of the stockholders to whom the subscription rights were issued,
except MacAndrews & Forbes, and MacAndrews & Forbes purchases the full number
of shares of our Class A common stock it would have been entitled to subscribe
for in this rights offering in accordance with its basic subscription
privilege. Because all of the subscription rights are exercised in the basic
subscription privilege by holders other than MacAndrews & Forbes and MacAndrews
& Forbes purchases the number of shares equivalent to its full pro rata portion
of the shares offered pursuant to the basic subscription privilege to which it
would otherwise have been entitled, no shares are exercisable in the
over-subscription privilege and MacAndrews & Forbes does not need to back-stop
this rights offering.

     SCENARIO B -- MacAndrews & Forbes is the only stockholder to acquire
shares of our Class A common stock, which number of shares is equivalent to the
full number of shares of our Class A common stock it would have been entitled
to subscribe for in this rights offering in accordance with its basic
subscription privilege and, through the back-stop, MacAndrews & Forbes acquires
all of the shares offered in this rights offering.

OTHER MATTERS

     We are not making this rights offering in any state or other jurisdiction
in which it is unlawful to do so, nor are we distributing or accepting any
offers to purchase any shares of our Class A common stock from subscription
rights holders who are residents of those states or other jurisdictions or who
are otherwise prohibited by federal or state laws or regulations to accept or
exercise the subscription rights. We may delay the commencement of this rights
offering in those states or other jurisdictions, or change the terms of this
rights offering, in whole or in part, in order to comply with the securities
law or other legal requirements of those states or other jurisdictions. We may
decline to make modifications to the terms of this rights offering requested by
those states or other jurisdictions, in which case, if you are a resident in
those states or jurisdictions or if you are otherwise prohibited by federal or
state laws or regulations from accepting or exercising the subscription rights
you will not be eligible to participate in this rights offering.

                             INVESTMENT AGREEMENT

     Pursuant to an Investment Agreement between Revlon, Products Corporation
and MacAndrews Holdings, dated February 5, 2003, among other things, MacAndrews
& Forbes agreed:

     o    to purchase the full number of shares of our Class A common stock it
          would have been entitled to subscribe for in this rights offering in
          accordance with its basic subscription privilege;

     o    to subordinate and not exercise the over-subscription privilege that
          it would otherwise be entitled to exercise in this rights offering;


                                       38


     o    to back-stop this rights offering by purchasing all of the shares of
          our Class A common stock that are not otherwise subscribed for by the
          other holders of subscription rights under their basic subscription
          privileges and over-subscription privileges; and

     o    to make available to us (i) the $50 million Series C preferred stock
          investment, if any, which shares would be redeemed upon consummation
          of this rights offering, (ii) the MacAndrews & Forbes $100 million
          term loan and (iii) the $40-65 million line of credit.


     The Investment Agreement also provides that any shares of our Class A
common stock acquired by MacAndrews & Forbes in transactions contemplated by
the Investment Agreement will be deemed to be registrable securities under the
existing registration rights agreement between us and REV Holdings LLC.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS

     Our gross proceeds from this rights offering will be $50 million. The net
proceeds from this rights offering, combined with the proceeds from the
MacAndrews & Forbes $100 million term loan as well as the $40-65 million line
of credit, will be used to help fund a portion of the costs and expenses of our
plan, which includes increasing advertising and media spending, changing our
newly-configured in-store wall displays in the United States, reducing the
number of our SKUs in the United States, selectively adjusting prices on
certain products in the United States, optimizing product availability to
consumers and further strengthening our new product development process, and
for other general corporate purposes. Alternatively, the net proceeds from this
rights offering will be used to fund the costs of redeeming the $50 million
Series C preferred stock investment, if any.

                                   DILUTION

     Purchasers of our Class A common stock in this rights offering will
experience an immediate dilution of the net tangible book value per share of
our Class A common stock. Our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2002
was approximately $(1,624.5) million, or $(31.38) per share of our Class A and
Class B common stock. Net tangible book value per share is equal to our total
net tangible book value, which is our total tangible assets less our total
liabilities, divided by the number of shares of our outstanding Class A and
Class B common stock. Dilution per share equals the difference between the
amount per share paid by purchasers of shares of Class A common stock in this
rights offering and the net tangible book value per share of our Class A and
Class B common stock immediately after this rights offering. Based on a
subscription price of $     per share and after deducting estimated offering
expenses payable by us, and the application of the estimated net proceeds from
this rights offering, our pro forma net tangible book value as of September 30,
2002 would have been approximately $     million, or $     per share. This
represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value to
existing stockholders of $     per share and an immediate dilution to
purchasers in this rights offering of $     per share. The following table
illustrates this per share dilution:

Subscription price ......................................     $
 Net tangible book value per share prior to
 this rights offering ...................................     $ (31.38)

     The following table sets forth our capitalization as of September 30,
2002, as adjusted to give pro forma effect to this rights offering and the
MacAndrews & Forbes $100 million term loan as if such transactions had occurred
on September 30, 2002. The table should be read in conjunction with "Selected
Historical Financial Data" and with our consolidated financial statements and
the notes to those financial statements included in the documents incorporated
by reference in this prospectus.

             CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

     The following discussion is a summary of certain federal income tax
consequences of this rights offering to holders of our common stock that hold
such stock as a capital asset for federal income tax purposes. This discussion
is based on laws, regulations, rulings and decisions in effect on the date
hereof, all of which are subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect)
and to differing interpretations. This discussion applies only to holders that
are U.S. persons and does not address all aspects of federal income taxation
that may be relevant to holders in light of their particular circumstances or
to holders who may be subject to special tax treatment under the Internal
Revenue Code, including, without limitation, holders of preferred stock or
warrants, holders who are dealers in securities or foreign currency, foreign
persons, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, banks, financial
institutions, broker-dealers, holders who hold common stock as part of a hedge,
straddle, conversion or other risk reduction transaction, or who acquired
common stock pursuant to the exercise of compensatory stock options or
otherwise as compensation.

     We have not sought, and will not seek, an opinion of counsel or a ruling
from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the federal income tax consequences
of this rights offering or the related share issuance. The following summary
does not address the tax consequences of this rights offering or the related
share issuance under foreign, state, or local tax laws. ACCORDINGLY, EACH
HOLDER OF COMMON STOCK SHOULD CONSULT ITS TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE
PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THIS RIGHTS OFFERING OR THE RELATED SHARE
ISSUANCE TO SUCH HOLDER.

     For U.S. federal income tax purposes, neither the receipt nor the exercise
of the subscription rights will result in taxable income to you. Moreover, you
will not realize a loss if you do not exercise the subscription rights. The
holding period for a share acquired upon exercise of a subscription right
begins with the date of exercise. The basis for determining gain or loss upon
the sale of a share acquired upon the exercise of a subscription right will be
equal to the sum of:

     o    the subscription price per share;

     o    any servicing fee charged to you by your broker, bank or trust
          company; and

     o    the basis, if any, in the subscription rights that you exercised.

     A gain or loss recognized upon a sale of a share acquired upon the
exercise of a subscription right will be a capital gain or loss assuming the
share is held as a capital asset at the time of sale. This gain or loss will be
a long-term capital gain or loss if the share has been held at the time of sale
for more than one year.

     As noted above, your basis in a share issued under the subscription rights
offer includes your basis in the subscription rights underlying that share. If
the aggregate fair market value of the subscription rights at the time they are
distributed is less than 15% of the aggregate fair market value of our common
stock at such time, the basis of the subscription rights issued to you will be
zero unless you elect to allocate a portion of your basis of previously owned
common stock to the subscription rights issued to you in this rights offering.
If the aggregate fair market value of the subscription rights at the time they
are distributed is 15% or more of the aggregate fair market value of our common
stock at such time, or if you elect to allocate a portion of your basis of
previously owned common stock to the subscription rights issued to you in this
offering, then your basis in previously owned common stock will be allocated
between such common stock and the subscription rights based upon the relative
fair market value of such common stock and the subscription rights as of the
date of the distribution of the subscription rights. Thus, if such an
allocation is made and the rights are later exercised, the basis in the common
stock you originally owned will be reduced by an amount equal to the basis
allocated to the subscription rights. An election must be made in a statement
attached to your federal income tax return for the year in which the
subscription rights are distributed. If the subscription rights expire without
exercise, you will realize no loss and no portion of your basis in the common
stock will be allocated to the unexercised subscription rights.

     If you sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of subscription rights received
in the rights offering prior to the expiration date, you will recognize capital
gain or loss equal to the difference between (i)


                                       41


the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received, and (ii)
your tax basis (if any) in the subscription rights disposed of. Any such
capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if your holding
period for the subscription rights exceeds one year at the time of disposition.
Your holding period for the subscription rights received in the rights offering
will include your holding period for the common stock with respect to which the
rights were received.

                                 LEGAL MATTERS

     The validity of the subscription rights and the shares of Class A common
stock offered pursuant to this rights offering will be passed upon for us by
Robert K. Kretzman, Esq., Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary
of Revlon. Mr. Kretzman holds restricted shares of our Class A common stock and
options to acquire shares of our Class A common stock and has an interest in
shares of our Class A common stock held by our 401(K) plan.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
allows a corporation to eliminate or limit the personal liability of directors
to a corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached his duty of
loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or
knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a
stock repurchase or redemption in violation of Delaware corporate law or
obtained an improper personal benefit.

     Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
empowers a Delaware corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party
or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation) by
reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The indemnity may
include expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid
in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
with such action, suit or proceeding, provided that such person acted in good
faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct
was unlawful. A Delaware corporation may indemnify directors, officers,
employees and other agents of such corporation in an action by or in the right
of a corporation under the same conditions against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection
with the defense and settlement of such action or suit, except that no
indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the person to be
indemnified has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where a present
or former director or officer of the corporation is successful on the merits or
otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above or
in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation must
indemnify such person against the expenses (including attorneys' fees) which he
or she actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith.

     Article X of the By-laws of Revlon, Inc. (the "Company") provides for
indemnification of the officers and directors of the Company to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law.

     Section 8 of Article X of the By-laws provides that the Company may
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of its directors and officers. The
indemnification and advancement of expenses shall, unless otherwise provided
when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a
director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
administrators of such a person.

     Section 11 of Article X of the By-laws provides that except for
proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Company shall not be
obligated to indemnify any director or officer in connection


                                      II-1


with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such
proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by the Board of
Directors of the Company.

     Article Fifth (4) of the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation provides that no director shall be personally liable to the
Company or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's
duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions
not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation
of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived
an improper personal benefit. Any repeal or modification of this Article by the
stockholders of the Company shall not adversely affect any right or protection
of a director of the Company existing at the time of such repeal or
modification with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal
or modification.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall
be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the

                                      II-3



event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel that matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

      The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

                  (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus
filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and
contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule
424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part
of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective; and

                  (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered in any such amendment, and the offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering of such
securities.



                                      II-4


                                  SIGNATURES

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant
certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the
requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this registration

authorized, in the City of New York, State of New York on the 5th day of
