Revlon ColorStay Foundation - Combination/Oily Review

I adore this foundation! Unfortunately NZ stores carry a very limited shade range so I buy mine online. Apart from that though, the coverage is beautiful and has a nice even, yet natural finish. The newer bottles supposedly have a pump, but I own one without a pump so have perfected the art of pouring out a tiny bit onto my hand. A warning - the smell is awful. It smells like bad chemicals so might be offputting to some people. But it does fade away after it's been on your face for a little while.

I've used this with a damp sponge as well as a foundation brush. Both ways work really well. You have to work quite quickly though because this dries fast.

This is one of the most transfer resistant foundations i've ever used. It does rub off a little but no where near as much as most other foundations. Also the oil control is not too bad. I prefer colorstay whipped for amazing oil control. But with this one, I usually blot about twice a day.

Removing this foundation is really really important but also quite difficult. I've used the nutrogena makeup remover and one wash removes most of it but not all. If you don't remove it properly, chances are it will break you out. I now double cleanse with a makeup remover and then with my clarisonic plus another cleanser.

I absolutely love love love this foundation, it is quite affordable ($10 in America) and is a full coverage foundation. It is easy to apply, the consistency is a little but more liquid-y than NARS Sheer Glow. Sadly i wouldnt use this again as the colour selection didnt match me which is such a shame :(

I do like this as an everyday foundation. However I do have combo skin but a super dry nose and this clings to it like crazy so may have to go with the normal/dry version. Other than that it is a great foundation with good coverage that is easy to blend

This is pretty much the only foundation I use. Out of everything I have tried (and wasted money on, only to give them away) this is the only foundation that suits my skin tone (very very fair, almost Casper white) and stays on for a reasonable length of time. At around mid day I have to do my first oil control powdering, and maybe another 1-2 times throughout the day. Which is simple & way better than anything else I have used. As long as they keep making my colour & using the same formula- I will be buying it. Worth every cent too!!

I have been using this foundation for many years now:) awesome product looks natural stays and stays and yep you can pull a white top on and it's not covered in foundation. It is a long wearing foundation that doesn't go flakey, I put it on a moisturised face, I sometimes use an light reflection cream underneath and set with a powder. It's an awesome foundation that stays is a slightly matt finish. I don't need to do any touch ups during the day except a we bit of powder on my nose.

This is one of those, always have to have it foundations, colour match its great, its easy to come by, coverage is awesome!

This is easily the best drugstore foundation money can buy (although $45 is a little pricey Revlon). It is perfect for my skin type. It takes away redness from blemishes so there is no need to slather on the concealer. It also keeps me matte the longest out of all of my products. It is a medium coverage with one layer but could very easily be built up to full coverage. This is my go to special occasion foundation.

This is such a popular foundation and had such positive reviews I decided to try it, it initially was good, when I had smooth normal/combo skin. But since I developed serious sensitivity and dry patches, the formulation just isn't as good at covering my imperfections and is quite irritating for my skin. I will definitely use this again but not until my skin has really settled down. They have a great colour selection and with the pump on the new packaging makes application pretty easy.

This is now my favourite foundation for sure! I tried this the other week for the first time and I'm IN LOVE. I can't get over how full the coverage is, how nice the colouring is, how long it lasts, how great the consistency is. Just WOW.
