Revlon ColorStay Foundation - Combination/Oily Review

I've used this for over a year now and I'm very happy with it. The coverage is great and it doesn't feel heavy on my skin. By the end of the day it's bunching in the oily areas of my face, but it's still the best liquid foundation i've used.

This is easily the best drugstore foundation money can buy (although $45 is a little pricey Revlon). It is perfect for my skin type. It takes away redness from blemishes so there is no need to slather on the concealer. It also keeps me matte the longest out of all of my products. It is a medium coverage with one layer but could very easily be built up to full coverage. This is my go to special occasion foundation.

I've only recently started using this foundation and don't know why I hadn't tried it earlier! I have combination/oily skin and find this had great staying power, good buildable coverage (to full which I like) and doesn't dry out my skin. I apply this foundation with a sigma angled flat top brush. I will be repurchasing this foundation for a while yet!

I've purchased around 8 bottles over this foundation over the last 2-3 years and will continue to do so until I find anything that can top it. It gives great coverage, has good shade selection and has staying power. It lasted me a 13 hour flight! This is one of those products I just keep going back to because it ticks all the right boxes.

Now, I had been looking for a good foundation for ages and I came across this one and since I am very pale, I was going to get the lightest shade which is Ivory but I found that I am a yellow undertone and Ivory is quite pink under toned. So i went with the next one up with is Natural Buff and it was and to this day is still my current foundation. It does exactly what it says, Colorstay... This foundation in my opinion does not budge unless you try to actually wash it off. It stays put for more than 24 hours I am sure. It is easy to blend and doesn't irritate your skin, it is lightweight and offers medium to full coverage.

I have combination skin so it is very stressful to find a foundation that keeps my T-zone matte while at the same time allowing the outer areas of my face to keep from peeling. This foundation settles perfectly into the skin with or without a primer and it stays matte all day. I also find that it does not change colour when it has been worn for a few hours as some foundations do. This foundation settles evenly and flawlessly onto the skin and is very easily blendable. It also has a wide variety of shades, helping it suit all different skin undertones. I will definitely be repurchasing this foundation when it runs out. It is definitely a holy grail product of mine.

I have been using this product for as long as I can remember. I love the coverage and the staying power but to be honest not for 24 hrs haha! I tried something cheaper but have gone straight back to this old fave. A great example of stick with what you know.
