Revlon ColorStay Foundation - Combination/Oily Review

I bought this version as I heard/was told it didn't oxidise as badly as the other. When you using this because my skin it normal to dry I have to use quite a heavy silicone primer which is fine and the finish is nice I end up with a Demi matte finish but for a heavier coverage foundation it doesn't really do it for me.

I bought this product twice to get the right match. I even when into farmers to get colour matched and when I tried it at home I found that it had a pink undertone. The coverage for this foundation is good and it is very buildable. I found that this foundation is very shiny after applying so I used a powder to set it and it lasted all day. The smell is foundation wasn't too strong either. I don't think I would buy this product again as I couldn't find a yellow undertone colour that would match my skin tone even though when I researched it online it said it did have a yellow undertone.

This foundation is great as in its heavy and covers blemishes well but this product really dried out my skin. It stayed on all day but by the end of the day it began to look pasty and rather cakey. The colour matched my skin well and was amazing at hiding my imperfections but just dried my skin out too much.

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.

I had high hopes for this foundation, its very easy to apply, smooth, but it leaves this powdery finish to my skin and makes it so noticeable that im wearing foundation. It doesnt budge or smudge, I dont use it only for backup, i have friends that love this foundation but its not right for me

this product was abit of a dissapointment for the price it was so funny almost coloured water in a bottle would have to use quite abit to build up a base for my powder as it did not cover any blemishes and made my skin exstremly oily ..

I am 50/50 about this foundation. It has very nice coverage, nice range of colours. But for me this foundation does not sit well on my skin and looks very obvious. This foundation I also find doen't last as well as I first thought it would, at the end of the day it had worn off where I get oily (t-zone, chin )
