I've used Revlon Colorstay on and off for a while now and I think for the price your getting a reasonable deal. It has a great colour selection and is super cheap! I do find though that when applying it goes very streaky as in you can see the brush lines and sometimes would be slightly patchy on my skin. Also once your face has any shine to it, it does wipe off quite easily. If I found myself unable to afford my double wear I would buy this again but probably wouldn't choose to. Medium coverage to buildable but can look cakey. Also made me sneeze every time I used it hahah.

Tips: Have a clean brush to buff it out once you've applied to get rid of brush strokes!
I dont love this foundation but i haven't yet found anything better. I have oily skin and i like how it doesn't have moisturiser in it as i have a specific moisturiser i use anyways but i wouldn't say this foundation controls oil absorption and shine. It does last long in my areas that are dry.
Tips: A little goes a long way, use sparingly.
I purchased this after a watching a recommendation of a youtube guru - I found on my skin it seems to look cakey after a primer and putting a translucent powder over top, even after buffing this into my skin with a flat top brush. It does seem to have full coverage though.
Revlon foundations look great on, but always make me breakout! However, they are so nice on I would use them for nights out or a special occasion but really can't use them all the time, it's a shame because I do love them on.
This use to be my go-to everyday foundation however after a while I found my skin just didnt like it anymore and it wouldnt sit properly and made my skin look oilier or made me breakout more. So I switched between foundations for a while and would use it for special occasions which worked fine for me. For the price its great, however I have since switched to MAC.
I use to always buy this but found it's so overpriced and I found it needed to be set with powder to make sure it stayed, it's a pretty decent formula but for me I feel I can get such a nicer foundation for the cost. Also not a fan of not having a pump very hard to the needed amount
For a start, the glass bottle is really inconvenient. You have to pour the foundation onto your hands, which is really time-consuming and usually ends up with wasting product. This didn't make my skin break-out, and most foundations do, so that was an up-side for me. The colour was a good match and the colour really did stay, so much so that it is difficult to get off. But that's where the pro's for me ended. I couldn't blend this stuff into my skin with my fingers or a brush, it always ended up looking caked on, no matter how hard I tried. I had to resort to using sponges which made it slightly better, but it still looked cakey. The colour also oxidised throughout the day to have a slight orange look. I would not repurchase this, as it didn't really suit me, but other people seem to love it, so it might just be my oily skin. IMO there are other Revlon foundations that are much better than this.
Tips: Apply using make-up sponges for a more even and less cakey texture.
This product isn't good for medium skin tones I always seem to look orange when it's applied I don't know if its just me but yeah. I don't really like it but its okay it doesn't do that much coverage it feels like your wearing foundation so that was a let down. To me it wasn't light it was heavy on my face.
When I first bought this I loved it! I thought it was the best foundation I had ever used.
It came in a glass bottle with a pump and had nice simple packaging. This was is the most expensive foundation I had ever bought and I thought it was great.
However since buying and trying other foundation this has been pushed to the back of my make up cabinet an d I barely reach for it anymore. I wear the colour buff. I personally think the colour washes me out even though it suits my skin nicely. Its also really easy to get it cakey so you have to watch how much your applying at a time it's also a mission to get off and clogs my pores so I really have to scrub it off. I only like wearing it to work because it's so humid there it stays put where others don't. This foundation is just okay for me and once I've finished my bottle I probably won't repurchase. I think there are better foundations than this. It just wasn't as great as it was hyped up to be.
Tips: Work quick with buffing it in as it drys quite quickly and then you can't work it into your skin
This foundation has two packaging, the one with the pump and the one without. It's easy to use because of its new packaging(with pump). I used to have the old one without a pump(yes! thats how long i've been using this product).
This product doesn't actually stay for 24hours. This is long wearing but not to the extent that it stays for a whole day and night. I can say that this product stays on my face for about 10 hours or so. That's why I like it because I hate retouching my makeup whenever I go out.
It's a perfect formula for those who have combination skin type like me, I am actually not sure with those people who have oily skin.
For the price, I really think that it's worth my money because it's really affordable and I don't have to put a primer whenever I use it. Yes! That's how intact the formula is.
