I am a long time user of Almay and Colorstay foundations in the shade 'buff'. Since they are the same company they crossover in a lot of shades however almay's version of 'buff' is always a fraction lighter which is perfect for me. This product is very similar in shade 'a yellowy pale neutral shade which works very well on my very pale yellowy skin'. The pump is a welcome addition and something that Colorstay is only just adding to their bottles. It pumps out the right amount and the formula is smooth, medium coverage and easy to spread. The downfall of this makeup however is how cakey it is - it seems to settle in every line and pore. It does stay on though but it stays on in all the places I wouldn't want it to and seems to emphasize the flaws and makes me feel I would just rather forgo wearing this altogether. No fragrance but a bit of a paint smell. Oxidisation is another problem and the bits of my face that this has settled into turn slightly orangey. Not a fan and I have gone back to Colorstay now that they have re-introduced it with a pump.

I would recommend this as a slightly cheaper alternative to the revlon colourstay as it is from the same company and has the same ingredients (I was told this by a beautician in farmers). The Almay has a few more natural ingredients though which is nice. its great if you like the long lasting foundation especially in summer when your in the surf and sun all day as it has the added bonus of sun protection and it protects your skin from all the elements. It gives a nice finish but a slightly oily shine after 4-6 hours needs a powder top up.
Tips: It looks amazing with the light Almay powder to finish. Almay has great offers with gift bags or two for one deals at farmers if you watch out for them.
