Revlon ColorStay Foundation - Combination/Oily Review

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.

So I purchased this foundation souly on the many raving reviews and well lets just say It was not what people made it out to be. The colour choices are very limited and have more warm tones than cool tones. I found its not at all long wearing and Its expensive for what the actual product delivers. I was bummbed because they have so much lovely products and I was hoping this would be a hit!! So Unfortunately I am still on the look out for a new go to foundation.

This foundation by Revlon was one of my first and I would it very easy to apply. As a pale gal, I found the colour of this foundation a very good match as well as being easily blended with other to find the perfect match after a tan. While this foundation was quite reasonable for its price I'm not sure how well it lasted 24hrs.

This is such a popular foundation and had such positive reviews I decided to try it, it initially was good, when I had smooth normal/combo skin. But since I developed serious sensitivity and dry patches, the formulation just isn't as good at covering my imperfections and is quite irritating for my skin. I will definitely use this again but not until my skin has really settled down. They have a great colour selection and with the pump on the new packaging makes application pretty easy.

When I first used this product I was like wow it really flawless but after a hour or more it started to get cakey then by the end of the day I had sore pimples all overt face I wouldn't recommend for sensitive skin as it gave me a huge reaction

I use this product when i cant afford to buy Estee Lauder or Mac, I find the coverage great but it doesnt have the lasting power of the two foundations mentioned previously. Would still recommend to anyone with oily skin as it does hide it well.

I found that this product didnt quite work perfectly on me. It was long wearing but patchy. Though it didn't feel cakey. It was drying. Mixed review.

I really loved this product. Its quite good but the colour didn't fit me. But I loved how it felt on my skin it was good for my oily skin I will buy if I could find a colour that's for me but even still the light and dark colours are good for contour
