Revlon ColorStay Full Cover Foundation Review

I was persuaded to try this product when the shade I wanted in the Candid foundation wasn't available at that moment. Even though I use little concealer on my aged skin I was a little dubious about the name Full Cover - recalling gloopy heavy products from my youth. However I have to admit that it feels nice and light though I am not sure that it lasts any longer than any other products I have used. I like the fact that it is packaged in a tube - easier to carry and also easier to access all the product to the last squeeze. However, unlike my preferred Candid it does not have a pump top so the amount used depends on how hard I happen to squeeze - sometimes that is too much.

Thanks BR.. This is a great foundation for staying power but not so much coverage. More of a medium coverage. I apply concealer on areas that need it. It feels light on the skin and doesn't look cakey. Moisturise before applying, blends really nicely with a flat top foundation brush. Has a matte finish. Will purchase if its on special.

I've been using Revlon colorstay in sand beige since for the last 20 odd years- so had my heart set this was going to be incredible.

Sadly, I was really disapppointed. The product claims to be up to 24hr wear, with no caking or fading, lightweight and seamless blending.

The tube is cute, but the texture was almost foamy like a mousse. It applied easily with a sponge but was no means full cover and required concealer and additional application. It seemed to take forever to 'set' and left my face feeling dewy and sticky. It also needed much more blending than my previous Revlon product. Perhaps this is the 'matte' ingredient that doesn't suit me in this formula. I'll be sticking to my original colorstay and wouldn't purchase this in future

Firstly, the I love that it’s in a tube, so you can squeeze every bit out. I choose the shade Ivory. Now I trialed this without a primer and with. I didn’t really notice a difference in the appearance of the application, or longevity. I think the primer may have lasted slightly longer. I used my beauty blender to apply. The first thing I noticed was is the shade was a bit lighter than the Ivory Foundation of another brand I use, so I could’ve gone a shade darker (or even mixed the lighter and darker together). Once applied, It gave a good coverage, could hide the odd blemish. But I could see where my obvious pores on my face were (even when I used a primer). My dry patches were ten times more noticeable, and I felt it looked Cakey. Bonus is, it felt light weight. It didn’t last up to 24hours, it was more like 6 hours, it pretty much wore off before it was bedtime. However in saying that, I never used a setting spray, or powder. It was however easy to apply, and did give a good coverage, and felt light weight. I’m just not a huge fan of the cakey look.

I was excited to try his product because I had just run out of my usual foundation, I tried shade !50 Buff but i feel like it was too dark for my skin tone. It also left my face looking quite shiny, and after using for a few days I had quite a bad breakout. However, I liked the compact nature of the tube and how a little went a long way. I also liked the consistency of the foundation. While i didn’t like how it looked on my skin, it day last a whole day.

I didnt like this. It felt quite sticky and i wasnt a fan. Yes it gave coberage but not enough for my liking. I wouldn't recommend unless you habe great skin!
