Revlon ColorStay Foundation - Combination/Oily Review

I have used Revlon Colorstay Combo/oily foundation for about 6 months now. I find this foundation easy to blend (referred method being beauty blender). I have found the shade range a little limited but have been able to easy find shades when needed (pale, fake tanning, summer tan). The foundation lasts a full day with primer and does not sink into pores or break down. Revlon colorstay has been my go-to foundation for everyday. I make sure to buy the foundation with a pump!

one of my favourite easily available foundations. they have a pretty small colour range but they do have some good pale shades as i am very pale and they have a shade that is perfect for me. very long lasting and doesnt dry or look oily or anything.

Revlon is great for being easily accessible from local Farmers, even the smaller branches carry at least Revlon so this foundation is my favourite option when I need something to grab quickly, I first found this when shopping in Ashburton whilst visiting and loved it said it was for combi skin and the shade range was quite good, easily found a shade that matched.

The application is good when used with either a brush or damp sponge, it settles nicely, is long lasting, doesn't sink into the pores and gives a nice soft look to the face without being too dewy or too matte, a nice healthy medium. Doesn't break up around the nose or smile lines until well after the 8 hour mark and by then I am ready to be rid of the makeup anyway.

I have this shade in 110 Ivory.

I was colour matched at the revlon counter at my local farmers to this shade, and its a pretty good colour match. I was quiet impressed with this as I find it really hard to find foundation that matches.

I also appreciate that this comes with a pump, lifes too shirt to be messing around with foundation bottles. I use around a pump to a pump and a half for my face depending on how much coverage I want.

This foundation has a pretty liquidy constancy, which I don't mind, it is easy to blend out and whilst it does dry down, it doesn't do it so quickly it is difficult to blend. Powder products apply quiet nicely over the top and I don't find that I need to set this with a powder. I find it is best blended out with a sponge.

The coverage of this foundation is light medium at best. If you had skin that was relatively free from blemishes You would be able to get him medium coverage. I have a lot of blemishes and redness, this does cover most of my uneven skin tone and minor blemishes but I still need concealer. I wouldn't recommend building this foundation up too much as it can look a bit cakey. This also breaks up and separates on me throughout the day. It doesn't look terrible, but if you look closely you can defiantly see it separating and breaking up, especially on my forehead and chin. I typically notice it starting to break up after 4-5 hours.

Despite it breaking up on my skin it does still look nice if you are standing a bit further away. Someone having a conversation with you probably wouldn't be able to notice it. It does also transfer a little bit, but I haven't noticed this rubbing off or anything. This also does nothing to control my oil. Whilst I don't look oily I can defiantly feel it on my skin.

Overall, I am really impressed with the colour match of this foundation, but its nothing amazing. I use this foundation every day at work so I will continue to use it until the bottle is gone, but I wasn't wowed by it so it is unlikely I will repurchase.

Love this foundation I have quite oily skin and I would say its great for my skin doesnt add excess oil to my face however it does need a powder to set, good coverage for an everyday go to and after 6 or so hours its still there and it doesnt give me dry patches.

I have been using this foundation for over 10 years, it is one that is always in my collection. I love this product, it gives such a good full coverage for my acne scarred, textured skin. I do perfer a heavier fuller foundation look, I know that is not for everyone. It does feel heavy on your skin, so I tend to use this foundation in the cooler months of the year.

I first got shown this product about 10yrs ago by my ex partners mum who worked at a pharmacy in the makeup department, iv never stopped using it since , it's blends so well and stays put through swet and tears .it's also very affordable to wich is a bonus . I have fair skin tone and the shade I use it 180 sand beige in combo/oily

This is one of the two of my all time favourite go to foundations. It stays on my skin all day, sometimes I find I need to apply a little powder towards the middle/end of the day as it gets a tad shiny on my skin. I love the coverage of the foundation it has a full coverage and its not super expensive. For me the foundation removes easily with a good cleanser and I like how there is loads of different shades you can pick from.

I love this foundation so much! Best one I've used yet. It has amazing coverage and an awesome range of colours so I found one which matches me perfectly. It isn't cakey or drying. It has amazing staying power, by the end of the day/night it still looks perfect. I also love that they've just come out with a pump for it, it makes it so much easier, as pouring it out meant I would tend to waste heaps.

It does set quite fast so you have to be quick applying it or it'll make application quite difficult, but I can totally get past that for the effect it gives.
