I tried this one and the combination/oily and both worked great. I found that different days my skin needed a different make up. I liked the feel and look and the fact I didn't break out using it.

Right off the bat, when I opened the bottle, I noticed it had an extremely powerful smell! I wouldn't go as far and say that it was unpleasant however I would have preferred that it didn't have a smell at all. Once you apply the foundation and let it sit on your face for a while, I noticed that it (the scent) seemed to simmer down then almost disappear after a while.
The foundation was very watery in the bottle and, like many foundations, a little cold when first applied on the face. I got the shade 'Caramel' and slightly regret it as it was way too red-toned for my face and made me look not great, to say the least. I guess that's what I get for buying online!
I like the consistency and the coverage. The foundation has reasonably good coverage and conceals any pimple scarring I may have attained.
I do wish I had the perfect shade for me then I would call this foundation a winner! Maybe I might attempt to put a powder to mattify it a bit slightly - I need to invest in some Stay Matte!
Tips: Blend blend blend! You don't want the foundation to just sit on the skin. Buff it in your skin so it looks like SKIN rather than a full-on mask.
This is my favourite foundation that lasts all day (judging from my facial cleansing wipes) and is not greasy and I've found the perfect colour for winter and I change the shade slightly in summer. I try and buy when it is on sale but the price is on a par with other well known brands.
The reason why I love this foundation is because it comes in a great range of shades! it comes in numerous shades that would suit most skin colours. It has really good staying power, and is very hydrating on the skin. it is super buildable coverage too. i would definitely set it with a powder in the summer because it can get quite hot and sweaty. It has a very flawless finish and erases redness and scarring really well. would repurchase, it is worth the $40. it also lasts very well because you don't need to use much product to get a great coverage
Tips: powder it on hot days if using a full coverage.
This was my go to foundation it has good coverage, I do find it does wash me out and u look very mono-toned so if you don't contour/blush you may look very washed out.
It is great for its staying power without needing to be set which is a great advantage, I barely need to use concealer either with this product as does have the full coverage effect and hides blemishes well.
Tips: You may need to mix up applications of this sometimes it does tend to sit on parts of my face mostly around my nose so you may need to use beauty blender, buff it in, or even just the Ol finger application just because it does like to play up if it doesn't agree with your skin on that day which is a shame
I really like this foundation. It feels a bit weird compared to other foundations because it's pretty runny and thin. It's medium coverage and is easy to build up. It blends into my skin nicely and has a good finish when I apply it with a flat top brush
I find that it stays in place really well when I set it with a powder.
I purchase the colourstay in normal/dry sand beige 180 tint. This is my go to ever since they changed the formula of the photoready foundation. It’s a light formulation which is fantastic for everyday. Applying a second layer gives you more coverage for evening wear. I apply using my fingers as I find it easier to make sure I get it everywhere. No smell as far as I can tell. And it doesn’t make my face oily. I’d like it to last a bit more throughout the day though. Great for the price.
I bought this by accident as I was meant to buy the combination/oily it was just the same but I needed to touch up with powder during the day, and it's slightly heavier and more matte for some reason. The colours blend really well, I always go a shade lighter in these colorstay foundations to blend into the jaw, or it leaves marks. It lasts the distance and would be great for dry skin that doesn't get oily like mine. I don't recommend touching up this foundation with more foundation after it sets as it seems to flake off or go very cakey.
Tips: I'd apply light handedly and it sets quickly
I use this foundation when I want a lasting full coverage look that lasts all day without breaking the bank! Easy to apply and easy to build.
love revlon have used it for years. great coverage, I didn’t get any breakouts or anything from it. its not to heavy on your skin. lasts all day. love love love it!
