Revlon ColorStay Foundation - Combination/Oily Review

I have used this foundation quite a few times now, in this time I have still struggled to find a new foundation that tops it. This is definitely my all time fave! The coverage it gives off is amazing and flawless, yet it is so lightweight. I found that I didn't have to touch up every few hours, definitely long wearing!

Such good coverage and does not feel heavy at all. It lasts a really long time and does not separate. Sometimes takes a bit of mattifying powder to dry it properly for really oily skin but it is not a problem.

I have used this foundation for 4 years now and in this time have tried other foundations to, but keep on coming back to Revlon. My skin is oily so I find this stays on nicely not like others that seemed to slide off during the day

This is the first foundation I've owned and I love it. I covers up my redness well and looks somewhat natural on my skin especially when buffed out with my flat top brush. It's easy to blend it and is buildable. It is quite hard to get off and leaves my face feeling rough, needing some moisturiser.

I absolutely love this stuff! I have a very fair complexion so sometimes finding a foundation that will suit my skin can be a bit of a mission but this formula is fantastic. It applies like a dream with either a stippling brush, Beauty Blender or sponge, sets well without appearing caked on and with very minimal to no oxidisation at all. I love how this looks fantastic no matter what my skin is doing though, I would recommend moisturising and using a primer if you do have fairly dry skin but in saying that, I do occasionally get very dry patches but this foundation hasn't seemed any more affected by it than any other foundation I've used. Overall I think this is a fantastic investment for ANY makeup kit- beginner or master :)

I was turned onto this type of foundation by a friend and received excellent help from the sales assistant on the right type of foundation for my skintone. While this product has excellent long lasting coverage and an even tone, I find my skin is very very dry by the end of the day and in need of a very strong night moisturiser.

I am not using this foundation at the moment because I am currently trying out another but this foundation was my go to for years and years! It was great at keeping my oily skin at bay and at the time of using it I didnt find it too cakey. It is definately a foundation that looks best if applied in a full coverage which was great because thats the look I go for every time. One thing I found with this foundation is that they do come with a red undertone to them (correct me if Im wrong) so for someone who has more of a yellow undertone or someone who is wanting to cover their redness it may not suit their skintone. Also now that I am currently using another foundation which does have similar benefits as Revlon Colorstay I do find Colorstay to be a bit on the thick side. However I do find this a great foundation as it does provide full coverage, controls oil and stays all day with a matte/semi matte finish. In my eyes it is up there in the "cheap foundation catagory" in the way of quality and quantity. In my personal experience if you are wanting a great foundation unfortunately you do have to pay the money but Colorstay is a good start!

I've repurchased this so many times, I always find myself coming back to it. It lasts all day/night, gives great coverage and lasts for ages - what more could you want really?!

This foundation was my daily foundation for a while, however I have recently decided to try out a few new foundations to see whats out there and change things up a bit.

I like how Revlon Colorstay comes in a variety of shades, has a nice finish and doesn't feel too heavy/cakey.

However I dislike that it doesn't have a pump and it coverage isn't as good as it claims.

I love this foundation! Not 100% coverage but with a powder over top it looks stunning! Doesn't feel too heavy on either.
