Revlon ColorStay Foundation - Combination/Oily Review

I find this foundation to be like a loyal, reliable friend: it’s affordable, a decent brand, and it adequately hides imperfections - especially redness and/or mild acne. It is a foundation you can use daily. I now feel naked if I leave the house without it on because I have come to rely on it as part of my daily beauty regime.

Stay proof? Absolutely! I was impressed that it didn't transfer when I touched my face. Only my oils transferred. They have a nice selection of shades. The glass bottle has a nice pump. The coverage is medium to buildable and this product was nice and long wearing. It sat a little funny on and around my nose so it did look a little cakey.

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!

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 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 think my absolute favourite foundation would have to be double wear.. unfortunately my wallet doesn’t agree with me. But this is such an affordable alternative.

I have picked this up recently at postie plus for $20 but usually go to life where I get life points and can get this for $30 on sale which I think is totally reasonable.

If you’ve used Estée Lauders double wear you will have a good idea of a good foundation.. I haven’t met anyone that didn’t like it.. but this is such a good alternative you wouldn’t know the difference between the two looking at it on the skin.

Good selection of colours for a start.

A decent sized bottle and you can easily see what’s left.. the bottle of B.B. cream I’m using you can’t see and it’s a bit annoying so I always like to see what I’ve got left.

Easy to dispense pump and the formula spreads like a dream. It’s consistency is nice and gives you a flawless look without caking or streaking. I’ve applied with fingers.. I always revert back to them as brushes and sponges are usually m.i.a and it’s always given me a nice complete look so it’s definitely quite easy to use and blend.

Lasts alll day for me. I don’t look melted or have creases which is amazing. It is a great alternative for me to my favourite. All day to me usually means 9-5 - after the school runs and when I’m settled back home cooking dinner so I would actually feel pretty positive about going out for an evening without too much of a touch up.

Definitely full coverage for me. I can usually get away with a med weight foundation for a full coverage look luckily so this just gives that extra bit of coverage and longevity which I need to ensure I don’t resemble Casper.

I’ve been exercising with is on now I have to try and keep my blood sugars in tact and it’s lasted through that.. it’s not too hard an exercise regime but it’s surviving a mild work out or paced walk.

I have use this Colorstay foundation since it was available on the market. I like a medium-heavy coverage, as I’m very conscious of imperfections on my skin, and this allows for good coverage of blemishes and blotchy skin tone. Being oily, my skin doesn’t mind this foundations - so many cheaper brands just slide off in an oil slick, but I can rely on Revlon Colorstay to stay on my face all day / night, and stay put! If I feel like a lightweight coverage (which is not often)

I use this for my work makeup and have to say it is a great reasonably priced foundation. It lasts the day! It has Mattish coverage that you can build up so great for light day wear and perfect for those heavier night looks too.

The pump is easy to use and reliable with no un need packaging

I loved this foundation but then I tried my make up revolution foundation and this wasn't as good, it has an amazing shade range and goes on lovely, I have normal skin so it just slides on and is nice a full coverage which is a must for me, its an amazing foundation though and one of my favorite Revlon products.
