Finally!

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.

Tips: Blend fast! Also moisturize and prime before hand, even for those with oily skin.

Old faithful

This is one of those, always have to have it foundations, colour match its great, its easy to come by, coverage is awesome!

Tips: Be sure to blend quickly as it does dry fast. Recommend only concentrate on one part of the fact at a time to avoid dry cakey spots

Revlon colour stay foundation

I have been using this foundation for many years now:) awesome product looks natural stays and stays and yep you can pull a white top on and it's not covered in foundation. It is a long wearing foundation that doesn't go flakey, I put it on a moisturised face, I sometimes use an light reflection cream underneath and set with a powder. It's an awesome foundation that stays is a slightly matt finish. I don't need to do any touch ups during the day except a we bit of powder on my nose.

Tips: Put it on with a wet sponge, press it into your skin not rub it in and it looks perfect

My foundation of choice

This is pretty much the only foundation I use. Out of everything I have tried (and wasted money on, only to give them away) this is the only foundation that suits my skin tone (very very fair, almost Casper white) and stays on for a reasonable length of time. At around mid day I have to do my first oil control powdering, and maybe another 1-2 times throughout the day. Which is simple & way better than anything else I have used. As long as they keep making my colour & using the same formula- I will be buying it. Worth every cent too!!

Tips: Seal with powder-always. Then keep your powder in your bag. My skin is quite oily & I need the powder to touch up a couple of times during the day

Revlon Colour Stay Foundation - Combination/Oily

I do like this as an everyday foundation. However I do have combo skin but a super dry nose and this clings to it like crazy so may have to go with the normal/dry version. Other than that it is a great foundation with good coverage that is easy to blend

Tips: I have found that the Sigma F80 brush is the best to apply this foundation and then a gentle, wet sponge on any dry patches

Yay! but.. :(

I absolutely love love love this foundation, it is quite affordable ($10 in America) and is a full coverage foundation. It is easy to apply, the consistency is a little but more liquid-y than NARS Sheer Glow. Sadly i wouldnt use this again as the colour selection didnt match me which is such a shame :(

Tips: Do one small pump first, that might be all you need!

Current Favourite foundation

I adore this foundation! Unfortunately NZ stores carry a very limited shade range so I buy mine online. Apart from that though, the coverage is beautiful and has a nice even, yet natural finish. The newer bottles supposedly have a pump, but I own one without a pump so have perfected the art of pouring out a tiny bit onto my hand. A warning - the smell is awful. It smells like bad chemicals so might be offputting to some people. But it does fade away after it's been on your face for a little while.

I've used this with a damp sponge as well as a foundation brush. Both ways work really well. You have to work quite quickly though because this dries fast.

This is one of the most transfer resistant foundations i've ever used. It does rub off a little but no where near as much as most other foundations. Also the oil control is not too bad. I prefer colorstay whipped for amazing oil control. But with this one, I usually blot about twice a day.

Removing this foundation is really really important but also quite difficult. I've used the nutrogena makeup remover and one wash removes most of it but not all. If you don't remove it properly, chances are it will break you out. I now double cleanse with a makeup remover and then with my clarisonic plus another cleanser.

Revlon Colour Stay Foundation

This foundation is great for oily skin types and when your wanting fuller coverage. It is a great drugstore product and I recommend people try it. I tend to use mine at night time when im going out when I want fuller coverage and I want my make up to last all night. During the day I tend to opt for a BB cream or a lighter coverage foundation to give a more natural look. This foundation is though great when im having a horrible skin day and want to cover up as much as possible!

If your skin playing up and you need fuller coverage and your make up to stay put I recommend this to you.

Tips: Only use a little bit when you apply it that all you need and build on that if necessary. Try using a buffing brush with this foundation it makes it look flawless!

Review

I do like this product , it was the one i was using before my current foundation now . it just had kind of pink undertones rather than yellow , which i prefer to pink . its quite thick and you have to work fast when applying it to make it look natural . but overall a quite good foundation , but not amazing

Oily

I found this foundation very oily and thick, it clogged up my pores and made me feel self conscious all day. It sat on my skin like an extra 3 layers and rubbed off on everything, afterwards I broke out as well. All in all a horrible experience.
