My HG Department Store Liquid Foundation

This was a great foundation for me to start out and experiment with. I wore this in the shade 'Ivory' but unfortunately it's a little too light for me, and the next colour up 'Buff' is too dark. I'd say it's the best department store foundation you can buy, its staying power is incredible. It provides medium-high coverage and is buildable.

The downside? If applied too heavily can look unnatural and cakey. The biggest negative for me - it clogs my pores and tends to break me out a little. If you were to buy it from Walmart it would be worth its $12USD price tag, but it's not worth its more than double price in NZ.

Tips: Spend a little extra and go for MAC liquid foundation, (I go for NW13) it matches perfectly, is higher coverage and lasts just as long. The quality is superior and it doesn't irritate my skin.

Ole reliable

Ive been using revlon colour stay (buff) for 5 years now and just keep repurchasing it! Its a good reliable foundation with decent coverage for day to day wear. I find it difficult to colour match foundations for myself so stick to this one , even mixing it wiith a darker shade can do the trick to get the colour just right. The negative.... it starts to wear off around my chin and nose towards the end of the day and I am not one for touching up foundation in the afternoon.

Revlon Colorstay Foundation - Normal/Dry Skin Revi

This is my favourite foundation that lasts all day (judging from my facial cleansing wipes) and is not greasy and I've found the perfect colour for winter and I change the shade slightly in summer. I try and buy when it is on sale but the price is on a par with other well known brands.

Holy grail foundation

I have quite a light complexion and have always struggled to find a medium-full coverage foundation that matches my skin tone until I discovered this foundation. I am in the shade 150-Buff and have found it matches me perfectly. This shade is also a great match for me as it has cool undertones.

I got this foundation when Farmers was having a sale as I don't like paying full price for items I am unfamiliar with. I was not disappointed with this foundation as it actually did give me the coverage I was expecting/wanting from it.

I have found that the formula isn't too thick and isn't too runny and it blends out without much effort and it doesn't look cakey. I have found that this foundation is great for looking flawless without much effort. I have found that it lasts on my skin on night without bunging.

I will definitely keep purchasing this foundation as its amazing and I love it.

Tips: I would recommend putting on a primer first as it will help to make the foundation last longer. Also, I would set your foundation with powder so it doesn't move around while you are doing the rest of your makeup and also, the powder will help to make your foundation last longer. Also, try to dab the powder and use as little as possible as you don't wanna look too cakey.

meh

I didn't like it at all really. I found that it clung to parts on my skin and was hard to blend. it didn't look very nice and it was a weird matte finish but came across as really chalky and cakey. It didn't look natural. it cracked on my nose a lot even though it was supposed to stop the dryness. The colour is good when first applied but after a while it seems to oxidize on my skin and goes all gross. It can be worked with and i still use it on my sister but i think there is many better foundations out there.

Ok for around the house!

When i first started wearing makeup, i swore by this! it could be a case of my skin changing, but this product is no longer a go to. For the price range you are better off going for loreal! I do have a couple that i got for really cheap from priceline in australia, so i do wear it occasionally, however i find its my go to when i just want to throw something on if im going to the gym or something (I know im one of those people- my skin doesent see the light of day). Its a product I use when i dont care if its going to be washed off an hour later, essentially getting wasted. It does last reasonably well though, although be careful with application as it can be a bit "liney"

AMAZING

I have very fair skin and have difficulties finding a perfect match when it comes to foundation. After much money spent and break outs galore, I stumbled across the Revlon Colourstay (Ivory) and have never looked back. The foundation is easy to apply, is medium to full coverage while still remaining light and non-cakey AND it stays on all night. For best results, I prime my skin and once the foundation is applied, I would use a translucent powder to set my face. Overall, the Revlon Colourstay foundation is my go to and can be found online for half the price of it's RRP so I recommend it to everyone!

fabulous foundation, stays reasonaby well

The reason why I love this foundation is because it comes in a great range of shades! it comes in numerous shades that would suit most skin colours. It has really good staying power, and is very hydrating on the skin. it is super buildable coverage too. i would definitely set it with a powder in the summer because it can get quite hot and sweaty. It has a very flawless finish and erases redness and scarring really well. would repurchase, it is worth the $40. it also lasts very well because you don't need to use much product to get a great coverage

Tips: powder it on hot days if using a full coverage.

Good fair skin colours!

I have used this foundation for quite a while in 'Buff' for dry/normal skin, which is PERFECT for my natural pale skin.

The packaging is simple and sleek and I am so happy it comes with a pump! The formula its self is great and can be buildable with a great consistency (not too thick but not watery either), I prefer to apply with a damp beauty blender. I find one layer creates a flawless base to any makeup look. It is very long wearing and is perfect for long work shifts.

The only downside for myself is that Revlon is quite pink based with their undertones and whilst buff (neutral base - to slightly more yellow toned) is perfect for my natural skin, I cannot get one to match when I am tanned which put me on an adventure to find another holy grail. Apart from that I still own it and will repurchase it again as its perfect for my non-tan days!

Great coverage

The shades for these foundations are perfect for me, I'm very pale and cool undertone, this foundation isn't orange or cakey and hides my pink cheeks and any imperfections very well. iits very lightweight and stays put for a long day, reasonably priced and can get it cheaper online.

Tips: Use a setting powder, make sure you get colour matched, exfoliate before application
