I've always wanted to try this foundation as I've heard so many amazing reviews on it. My favorite foundation is Estee Lauder Double Wear and this is said to be a good dupe.
So I got this thinking it may be a cheaper alternative to my normal foundation. Firstly I decided to check findation.com to get my color match then bought it off Trade Me as its half the price.
The foundation itself is really great. It has good coverage (not as good as double wear but buildable) and is a nice matte finish. It applies very well and is easy to blend. It honestly looks so gorgeous on the skin and settles beautifully. It also lasts pretty much an entire day. I was quiet impressed.
Unfortunately the color is totally off! I thought i would just go in and get matched properly and it should solve all my problems. I asked a lady at Priceline (australian pharmacy) to match me. She was the so called beauty expert professional in the store. After trying a couple out on my skin she pretty much said "well I have one that is going to be too pink for you or one that is going to be too dark for you. Which would you prefer?" I was so disappointed! There was no way i was going to spend more money on this if it wasnt a perfect match.
Overall i think it is a good product but didn't work for me. Every shade option pretty much had a pink under-tone even when it was supposed to be yellow. Unfortunately I experience this with most drugstore foundations. I really wish this did work for me though :(
I received my revlon colour stay in the mail as it was a online purchase,I first did not like at the bottle was glass instead of plastic as I can be clumsy and would hate to drop it to little glass pieces and there was no pump on the bbottle,to apply the foundation I tipped the bottle up and placed some on the back of my hand,I put little spots of it over my face and started blending it into my skin,it was a great coverage,went on like silk and as I did my second layer the coverage was so good I really did not need a second layer,after setting with powder,I never had to touch it up until I took it off 10 hours later,I love it and it's not my favourite product from revlon,
Tips: Do not tip the bottle up to much to get the product outcome times it comes out fast
