Revlon ColorStay Foundation - Combination/Oily Review

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,

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 got this foundation in Sand Beige (Perfect match for me!) as an early birthday present from my sister. I'd been on the search for the perfect foundation that didn't cost an arm and a leg and I'd watched a number of you-tubers who highly recommended Revlon Colorstay as a drugstore alternative to the pricer brands like MAC. Unlike a number of the reviews I've read in relation to this foundation, my colorstay came with a pump which means I don't have to worry about spilling it everywhere. A lot of people also mentioned their dislike of the glass packaging, howver, I feel the packaging itself is pretty sturdy and unless you're throwing it across the room or dropping it on the concrete it should hold out just fine.

The foundation claims to last 24 hours, unfortunately I have yet to test this out as I generally only wear foundation for around 12 hours. In saying that, the foundation definitely holds firm for the majority of the day, especially if you use a setting powder. I did use this foundation in conjunction with my Garnier Blur, however, I found that the two didn't really go together and I actually prefer the overall look of the foundation when I don't wear a primer or blur cream. I also love the fact that the foundation is build-able and can therefore be used for a medium or heavy coverage.

I will definitely be repurchasing this product once I run out and I have a feeling it is going to be my go-to foundation for many years to come.

This foundation I don't use as a everyday foundation as I prefer something that is light for an everyday foundation. I love this foundation for when I go out and want to wear something with a little more coverage. I have a naturally red skin tone so I love the coverage this foundation provides and feel like I don't have to use much concealer. It looks great in photos and gives me a lot of confidence.

I find I keep returning to Revolon Colourstay Foundation no matter what other foundations I try. The fact the range has two options, depending on your skin type is an added bonus. I use the Oily/combination type and I rarely get an Oily T zone with this long lasting foudation that provides great coverage. The only thing I would change about this product is having it produced in a bottle with a pump so that a measured amount was dispensed.

This is my absolute holy grail foundation. I love the fact that there is the combo/oily option aswell as the normal skin. It has such great coverage and so many shades to match everyone. I use this foundation everyday and it has never failed to impress me

I definitely recommend this foundation for someone wanting a drugstore, full coverage liquid foundation.

The lasting power is pretty good, it has a nice matte finish, and it comes with a pump so you can control how much you use. It has buildable coverage which is perfect for me as I have redness on my cheeks, so one layer on my face plus a lil extra on my cheeks is perfect for me. I find you do have to work quite fast when applying though as it does dry quickly.

Pretty good range of shades from pale to dark, I do find it a little on the pricey side when store-bought but can be found cheaper online.

This product isn't good for medium skin tones I always seem to look orange when it's applied I don't know if its just me but yeah. I don't really like it but its okay it doesn't do that much coverage it feels like your wearing foundation so that was a let down. To me it wasn't light it was heavy on my face.

This is by far THE BEST foundation I have ever applied to my skin. I was on holiday in South Africa and thought I would give it a try, with the advice from one of the beauticians on duty. Honestly and without exaggerating, this foundation stays on all day, even without using a powder! Yes..even without a powder because the beautician did the application for me and did not use powder to set it. I got a compliment that my skin looked flawless that day :). I obviously ended up purchasing it but then when I returned home to NZ I could not find it here :(. I wish I bought like 10 bottles! You do not need much but if you want full coverage then do 2 applications and set with powder if you like. My skin has become more oily over the years and this foundation does not smudge, its sweat proof , I can say that with 100% conviction because i wore it in very warm weather, sweated but my foundation still lasted all day. Ive recently discovered the shade Caramel 400 and will be getting it soon. Not sure if its the same as the one I had. Ladies, go and get this now! I prefer this over other well-known brands. Hope this was helpful :)

I bought color stay to try out and I'm hooked, for $40 or under its well worth every penny. It applies on effortlessly with an amazing coverage / finish. It's nice on clean dry moisturized skin and really does last for the day. I love the feeling of light makeup and this product gives you that feeling.
