Just meh in my eyes

People say this is a dupe for mac foundation and class it as full coverage However I found this more light to med coverage I apply this with a beauty blender and it takes a good 3 layers to get to a medium coverage The packaging is quite nice in a glass bottle with a black lid I do wish it had a pump as I always get way more than I need and find it unhygienic without a pump

I have dry to normal skin and this is fine with not highlighting dry patches I properly wouldn't use it again unless I had to I think here's far better options out there for half the price of this c

Go to product

I have used this product for at least 10 years. I am still impressed by the finish and how long lasting it is. I have often tried other products but have never been happy so have returned to the Revlon colour stay. Recently I did try max factor lasting performance and really liked it. It lasted well and was slightly lighter that the Revlon brand. I now use Max and my day product and Revlon colour stay when I want a more intense coverage. I think as you age the lighter product can sometime look better and not accentuate the wrinkles as much.

Tips: Put on right after you moisturiser it seems to blend better.

The holy grail

My absolute favourite. I have tried many, many foundations over the years and I always come back to this one. I have heard it is a good dupe of MAC studiofix foundation, although I have never tried it so can't be sure.

Really good for heavy coverage. I have freckles, scars and often acne that needs covering and this does a great job. It's important to make sure you moisturise well before applying though as it will accentuate dry areas.

<333

I have used this product for around 4 years on and off and it is amazing considering how affordable it is! I used to always use the combination/oily foundation and it worked great in my younger years :) But as my skin dried out I switched to normal/dry and I found it actually went on a lot smoother and the appearance of the foundation on my skin was nicer, in my opinion. I definitely recommend this product as I am currently using it everyday and it is very affordable and worth the buy!

Tips: Work quickly with this product because it tends to set quickly <33

Revlon Colourstay Foundation

Love the packaging. Sturdy glass bottle with an easy to use pump. Has a slight but pleasant scent. I would say it is build able, medium to full coverage. I apply in thin layers to build up the coverage, this way it doesn't get cakey. Smooth consistency, blends well with a damp sponge or a flat top kabuki brush. It is very long wearing, drys to a natural matte finish. Covers all my redness, but doesn't exxagerate my pores.Overall a great full coverage foundation

Tips: I use a damp sponge to sheer out the coverage slightly

Great product

This is a good, cheaper option to the Estee Lauder double wear with equally good coverage and consistency. The product is easy to blend and lasts all day when set with a pressed powder. The pump bottle is also perfect for dispensing small amounts. I have oily/acne prone skin and this didn't break me out and also reduced shine.

WOW

Pros: - great full coverage - blends in really well - havent found that it oxidizes - lasts most of the day - good for my oily skin - love the pump - not as heavy as other foundations that ive tried - I tend to touch my face a lot during the day (i know its bad but i do it a lot) and i find that this foundation doesnt come off as easily as the others ive tried.

Cons: - I find towards the end of the day that it hasnt lasted the specified 24 hours... but i dont mind that because its the end of the day and i dont plan on wearing it for 24 hours. - might not be for extremely pale people - my friend said that she didnt find any in her shade because she was too pale for it. - also not sure if the foundation suits darker skin as i have lighter skin and so didnt particularly check out their darker shades.

Would definitely recommend it to others who want full coverage foundation - bought it online for $20 which is great.

Worth my $40 all day everyday!

I found this last year in the local chemist. I asked the retail assistant for her advice on a good coverage foundation for combination skin. I wanted something light weight but still able to hide all my imperfections whilst still looking natural. After noting all my desires she quickly pointed me in the direction of Revlon Colour-Stay. She gave me a small pot of three colours to use so I could find the perfect or closest match. I ended up going with medium beige. After trying them all I found that I have been using a shade or two lighter in every foundation which is why people comment that I look pale. Ah-ha moment!

The price at first made me hold my breath when I swiped my card but it was what I had to do to get my much needed foundation. The bottle is a little less pretty than I am used to with my foundations. But as they say you can't judge a book by its cover. It's what is on the inside that counts. It is cylindrical and simple yet chic.

The foundation itself is very smooth and creamy. It comes out of the pump bottle very easily,with no clogging. I use a brush to apply to my face in dabs then use my beauty blender to give it a flawless look and no streaks.

The foundation blends almost effortlessly. I find that I use far less product than most other foundations because a small bit goes along way. Especially when using a blender. The coverage is exactly as promised. It is medium to full which is what I was after. The best part is it feels as though I have no makeup on, it's just that lightweight.

The true test will be if it lasts a full day in summer when I am walking around and sweating alot. I am pleasantly surprised by just how longwearing this foundation is. Although it has some wear, especially on my cheeks and forehead; it is for the most part in tact. I am impressed. Who knew a brand like Revlon could outlast other higher end brands like this and give better coverage to boot. The combination type foundation is perfect for my dry and oily patches skin. It doesn't make me look like an oil slick but still gives me a glow so my dry parts don't stick out. Gimmie moooore!

Tips: Use a primer to give it a flawless base

best foundation.

I got this product on sale at my local chemist about 3 years ago and I swear by it! the coverage is amazing and it sits SO nicely on the skin. The formula is fantastic, very lightweight and not cakey. It has amazing coverage with just a thin layer but can easily be built up. As a very very pale girl, it's hard to find a pale foundation that doesn't oxidize and this foundation doesn't. The staying power of this foundation is very good, not 24hrs but more like 15hrs.

Tips: there is no pump so be careful when pouring out the product!

Worth my money

This foundation has two packaging, the one with the pump and the one without. It's easy to use because of its new packaging(with pump). I used to have the old one without a pump(yes! thats how long i've been using this product).

This product doesn't actually stay for 24hours. This is long wearing but not to the extent that it stays for a whole day and night. I can say that this product stays on my face for about 10 hours or so. That's why I like it because I hate retouching my makeup whenever I go out.

It's a perfect formula for those who have combination skin type like me, I am actually not sure with those people who have oily skin.

For the price, I really think that it's worth my money because it's really affordable and I don't have to put a primer whenever I use it. Yes! That's how intact the formula is.
