Revlon ColorStay Foundation - Combination/Oily Review

I have used Revlon colour stay many times, the coverage is absolutely amazing and one of the biggest pluses on this product. It doesn’t look to cakey and has a natural looking but also very full coverage. I had problems with my pores with some other foundation which lead my foundation to looking quite funny and seperated but with colour stay I didn’t have this problem. It truly does stay in place and it lasts for the day, when I use this foundation I don’t top up throughout the day. Which is a bonus for this busy Mumas life.

I had high hopes for this as a cheaper every day alternative to my usual foundation but ultimately it didnt really work well for me. I get very oily skin especially around my nose and this foundation initially was patchy and melted off. After trialing a few different bases under it, I finally found one that worked and it has been ok as an every day foundation for work but I dont think I'll be buying it again after I run out. I found the coverage medium.

This is the best foundation I have found. It does what it says and lasts a long time. It has great coverage and is not thick so doesn't look caked on. It gives redness and gives a nice even finish. Love it.

I love this product as its been the closest colour match ive ever had. Moderate price point makes it an easy staple for everyday wear. It is very easy to apply, i use a brush. It is also easy to do more than one layer if needing a heavier base. It does rub off, so it needs to be set on with powder.

This foundation by Revlon was one of my first and I would it very easy to apply. As a pale gal, I found the colour of this foundation a very good match as well as being easily blended with other to find the perfect match after a tan. While this foundation was quite reasonable for its price I'm not sure how well it lasted 24hrs.

Stays on for well over 8 hours - I am currently using the Fresh Beige #250 it covers the broken red capillaries on my cheeks really well.

So I purchased this foundation souly on the many raving reviews and well lets just say It was not what people made it out to be. The colour choices are very limited and have more warm tones than cool tones. I found its not at all long wearing and Its expensive for what the actual product delivers. I was bummbed because they have so much lovely products and I was hoping this would be a hit!! So Unfortunately I am still on the look out for a new go to foundation.

I used this foundation for years and thought it was time to change it up and used another for about 6 months before I realized nothing beats this one for cover and longevity. I have combination skin and this goes on well over it all and given my skin a great overall cover without looking like it is caked on like some foundations do. I have a bad habit of running my hands over my face during the day when i get stressed at work and even after doing that at the end of the day a touch up with a little powder and I am good to go without having to reapply my whole face again!
