Right off the bat, when I opened the bottle, I noticed it had an extremely powerful smell! I wouldn't go as far and say that it was unpleasant however I would have preferred that it didn't have a smell at all. Once you apply the foundation and let it sit on your face for a while, I noticed that it (the scent) seemed to simmer down then almost disappear after a while.
The foundation was very watery in the bottle and, like many foundations, a little cold when first applied on the face. I got the shade 'Caramel' and slightly regret it as it was way too red-toned for my face and made me look not great, to say the least. I guess that's what I get for buying online!
I like the consistency and the coverage. The foundation has reasonably good coverage and conceals any pimple scarring I may have attained.
I do wish I had the perfect shade for me then I would call this foundation a winner! Maybe I might attempt to put a powder to mattify it a bit slightly - I need to invest in some Stay Matte!
Revlon color stay is one of my favorite foundations. Is packing is okay, it would be good if it had a pump to prevent wastage of foundation. It has a thick consistency. I usually apply with a beauty blender 2 layers which gives me very good coverage.
