Item 7.01    Regulation FD Disclosure

In connection with a presentation by senior management of Revlon, Inc. (the "Company") at an Investor Conference to be held on September 8, 2004, the Company is disclosing certain material, non-public information (the "Conference Information"). On August 31, 2004, the Company issued a press release publicly announcing that such conference would be held on September 8, 2004 at 3:00 P.M. E.D.T and that during such conference the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, Jack L. Stahl, and Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Stephanie Peponis, would provide an update on the Company's business progress and strategies. The Company's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Thomas E. McGuire, also presented at the conference. The press release also announced that access to the Investor Conference would simultaneously be available to the public via a live webcast on the Company's website at www.revloninc.com.

The Conference Information includes certain forecasts, projections, estimates, objectives, vision, plans, strategies, beliefs, intent, opportunities, drivers, destination, expectations, records as well as certain historical information regarding the Company. Portions of the Conference Information were prepared by the Company based upon, among other things, the anticipated future results of operation of the Company after giving effect to the implementation of various aspects of its strategic plan.

The Conference Information is divided into the following major components: (i) Company Overview; (ii) Business Progress to Date; and (iii) Opportunities Ahead to Create Long-Term Value, including a breakdown of steps the Company is taking that are intended to enhance profit margins.

As certain financial information included within the Conference Information consists of non-GAAP amounts, such non-GAAP amounts are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the accompanying financial tables (the "Reconciliation Information"). Such non-GAAP measures include Adjusted EBITDA (see "Basis of Presentation"), gross sales and ongoing operations. As stated in the "Basis of Presentation", the Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful in understanding the financial operating performance and underlying strength of its business, excluding the effects of certain factors, including gains/losses on foreign currency transactions, gains/losses on the sale of assets, gains/losses on the extinguishment of debt, miscellaneous expenses and interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, and thus the Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a financial metric that can assist the Company's management and investors in assessing its financial operating performance and liquidity. Similarly, the Company believes that information presented on an "ongoing operations" basis, which excludes the disposition of brands and businesses, restructuring, additional consolidation costs (primarily associated with the closing of the Company's Phoenix and Canada facilities), executive severance and expenses related to the acceleration of aspects of the implementation of the Company's stabilization and growth phase of its plan, is useful to the Company's management and investors in understanding its financial operating performance and underlying strength of its business without the impact of such items.

Statements made in the Conference Information which are not historical are forward-looking statements and are based on estimates, objectives, vision, projections, forecasts, plans, strategies, beliefs, intent, opportunities, drivers, destinations and expectations of the Company's management, and thus are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company's actual results may differ materially from such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in the Conference Information include, without limitation, the Company's expectations and estimates (whether qualitative or quantitative) as to:

(i)   the Company being positioned for growth, including that it has experienced significant growth and profitability improvements and has future growth and margin opportunities, as well as the Company's plans regarding the continued growth momentum and accelerated growth phases of its plan, including its objectives of accelerating top-line growth and significantly improving margins;
(ii)  the Company's belief that its International business represents an excellent growth opportunity moving forward and that it is optimizing its fixed cost structure in Europe and Latin America, including its supply chain;

1




(iii)  future U.S. mass color cosmetics category growth and market share trends, including the Company's expectation that the U.S. mass color cosmetics category will grow less than 1% in 2004;
(iv)  the Company's future financial performance, including its forecasted net sales of approximately $1.335 - $1.350 billion, operating income of approximately $90 million and Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $190 million for 2004, and its belief that its plan is proving effective, that it has strengthened its organizational capability and enhanced in-store execution and that the Company has strengthened its relationships with its key retailers in the U.S.;
(v)  the Company's plans to undertake a $110 million equity offering by March 2006 and to use the proceeds to reduce debt, the timing of the transaction and the impact of such transaction on the Company's financial performance;
(vi)  the Company's plans with respect to the implementation of its Margin Transformation Initiatives, such as COGS reduction and indirect sourcing, promotion redesign and product life cycle management, and the Company's forecasted savings from such initiatives, including the Company's objective that it will achieve a 10 point margin improvement over 3 to 5 years beginning in 2004, as well as the Company's belief that it has made systemic business improvements, with 2004 forecasted to build on the momentum established in 2003;
(vii)  the Company's "Destination Model", including the Company's belief that it has a significant revenue growth opportunity and the Company's objective that it will achieve a 10 margin point improvement over 3 to 5 years beginning in 2004, and the detailed components of the "Destination Model;"
(viii)  the effects of certain top-line and bottom-line drivers on the Company's business and financial performance and the detailed components of such top-line and bottom-line drivers, including its expectation that it will grow U.S. color cosmetics category and share; that it will develop other U.S. businesses; that it will leverage licensing opportunities; that it will drive International growth opportunities; that it will implement Margin Transformation Initiatives; that it will continue to implement cost disciplines across the organization; and that it will create fixed-cost leverage via top-line growth;
(ix)  the Company's plans to improve the effectiveness of its advertising, including that it is expected to drive Revlon brand equity and stimulate the category in mass color cosmetics;
(x)  the Company's belief that the new Revlon spokesmodels will improve the Company's reach and brand positioning;
(xi)  the Company's plans to introduce new products and further strengthen its new product development and implementation process, intended to drive innovation and profitability, and the Company's belief that its 2005 new product line-up is expected to be its strongest in years; and
(xii)  the Company's plans to leverage licensing opportunities, including by broadening its licensing business and to drive international growth opportunities, and the details regarding those opportunities.

A number of important factors could cause the actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. In addition to factors that may be described in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2003, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for 2004 and Current Reports on Form 8-K for 2004, the following factors, among others, could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement:

(i)   less than expected growth from the Company's continued growth momentum phase and accelerated growth phase of its plan, or the inability of the Company to achieve improvements in sales and/or profit margins;
(ii)  less than expected growth in the International business, or difficulties or delays impacting the ability of, or the inability of, the International business to optimize its fixed cost structure in Europe and Latin America;

2




(iii)  less than expected U.S. mass color cosmetics category growth and/or unanticipated market share trends;
(iv)  circumstances affecting the Company's future financial performance and the effectiveness of its plan, including decreased consumer spending in response to weak economic conditions or weakness in the category, changes in consumer shopping patterns or preferences, such as reduced consumer demand for the Company's color cosmetics and other current products, and actions by the Company's competitors, including business combinations, technological breakthroughs, new product offerings, promotional spending and marketing and promotional successes, including increases in market share;
(v)  difficulties, delays or the inability of the Company to undertake a $110 million equity offering by March 2006 and to use the proceeds to reduce debt;
(vi)  difficulties, delays or unanticipated costs associated with completing projects associated with the Company's plan to implement Margin Transformation Initiatives, or less than expected savings and/or profit margin improvements from such initiatives;
(vii)  difficulties, delays or unanticipated costs associated with implementing elements of the Company's "Destination Model;"
(viii)  unanticipated circumstances impacting, or other difficulties, delays or unanticipated costs associated with the implementation of, certain top-line and bottom-line drivers of the Company's business and financial performance, including less than expected growth in category and share; difficulties, delays or unanticipated costs associated with developing other U.S. businesses or leveraging licensing opportunities; difficulties or delays impacting the ability of, or the inability of, the Company to drive International growth opportunities; difficulties, delays or unanticipated costs associated with the implementation of Margin Transformation Initiatives; difficulties or delays in continuing to implement cost disciplines across the organization; and difficulties or delays impacting the ability of, or the inability of, the Company to create fixed-cost leverage via top-line growth;
(ix)  the Company's advertising being less effective than planned, or difficulties or delays in, or unanticipated costs associated with, developing and/or presenting the Company's advertising and optimizing its effectiveness;
(x)  unanticipated circumstances affecting the effectiveness of the Company's marketing and promotion strategies incorporating the new Revlon spokesmodels;
(xi)  difficulties or delays in, or unanticipated costs associated with, developing and/or introducing new products and/or in further strengthening the new product development and implementation process or less than expected consumer response to such new products; and
(xii)  difficulties or delays in, or unanticipated costs associated with, the Company's plans to leverage licensing opportunities.

Forward-Looking Statements

This presentation relates to various aspects of Revlon, Inc.’s (“Revlon”) strategic, business and financial plans.  Statements made in
this presentation which are not historical are forward-looking and based on management's estimates, objectives, vision, projections,
forecasts, plans, strategies, beliefs, intent, opportunities, drivers, destination and expectations, and thus are subject to the safe harbor
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  The data contained herein are both audited and unaudited and have
been prepared from Revlon's internal and external reporting information. "E" and “F” denote estimated and forecasted data.

Accordingly, Revlon's actual results may differ materially from such forward-looking statements for a number of reasons, including,
without limitation, those set forth in the Company's filings with the SEC, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2003, Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q in 2004 and Current Reports on Form 8-K in 2004.  Access to these filings is available on the SEC's website at
www.sec.gov.

Revlon does not generally publish or make publicly available its strategic plans or make external projections of its anticipated financial
position or results of operations or the type of forward-looking information in this presentation.  Accordingly, except for the Company’s
ongoing obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws, Revlon undertakes no commitment to update or otherwise revise this
presentation to reflect actual results of operations, changes in financial condition, changes in estimates, changes in expectations,
changes in assumptions, changes in external sources of information, or other circumstances arising and/or existing since the
preparation of the information contained herein or to reflect the occurrence of any future events.  Further, Revlon undertakes no
commitment to update or revise any of this presentation to reflect changes in general economics or industry conditions or changes in
specific industry categories in which Revlon operates.

Basis of Presentation

Revlon, Inc. is a public holding company with no business operations of its own.  Revlon, Inc.'s only material asset is all of the outstanding capital stock of Revlon
Consumer Products Corporation (“Products Corporation”), through which it conducts its business operations.  As such, its net (loss) income has historically consisted
predominantly of the net (loss) income of Products Corporation and in 2001, 2002 and 2003 included approximately $1.5 million, $4.7 million and ($0.2) million,
respectively, in expenses/(credits) primarily related to being a public holding company.  Unless otherwise noted, all references to data presented herein relate to
Revlon, Inc.

The data contained herein are both audited and unaudited and have been prepared from Revlon's internal and external reporting information.  Certain of the data are
presented on an "ongoing" basis, unless otherwise noted, and exclude (i) the disposition of brands or businesses, (ii) restructuring, (iii) additional consolidation costs,
primarily associated with the closing of the Phoenix and Canada facilities and (iv) executive severance.  In addition, certain of the data presented, where indicated,
also exclude expenses related to the acceleration of aspects of the implementation of the stabilization and growth phase of Revlon's plan.  Ongoing operations is
unaudited and a non-GAAP measure that Revlon believes is useful for its management and investors in understanding the financial operating performance and
underlying strength of the business without the impact of such items.  Ongoing operations does not purport to represent the results of operations or our financial
position that actually would have occurred had the foregoing transactions been consummated at the beginning of the periods presented.  Reflected in the Company’s
Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 8, 2004 is a reconciliation of all non-GAAP financial measures contained in this presentation, including Adjusted EBITDA
and “ongoing” operations, to their respective, most directly comparable GAAP measures.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, gains/losses on foreign currency transactions, gains/losses on the sale
of assets, gains/losses on the extinguishment of debt, miscellaneous expenses and the items described above.  Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure.  
Revlon believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a financial metric that can assist Revlon and investors in assessing its financial operating performance and liquidity.  Revlon
believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful in understanding the financial operating performance and underlying strength of its business, excluding the effects of certain
factors, including gains/losses on foreign currency transactions, gains/losses on the sale of assets, gains/losses on the extinguishment of debt, miscellaneous
expenses and the items described above.  Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for net income/(loss) or cash flow from/used for
operating activities prepared in accordance with GAAP.  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.  EBITDA is defined differently for our credit agreement currently in
effect.  Furthermore, other companies may define EBITDA differently and, as a result, our measure of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA of other
companies.

Except as otherwise noted, market share and market position data in this presentation are based upon retail dollar sales, derived from ACNielsen data, which is the
aggregate of the drug channel, Target, Kmart, and Food and Combo stores, referred to as Total US All Outlets.  ACNielsen measures retail sales volume of products
sold in the U.S. mass-market distribution channel.  Such data represent ACNielsen's estimates based upon data gathered by ACNielsen from market samples and
are therefore subject to some degree of variance.  Additionally, as of August 4, 2001, ACNielsen data do not reflect sales volume from Wal-Mart Inc.  In some
instances, as noted, Revlon has estimated the total U.S. mass market, including Wal-Mart and regional MVRs. You should read the notes presented in conjunction
with the data presented herein.
