Good quality but just didn't work for me

For a start, the glass bottle is really inconvenient. You have to pour the foundation onto your hands, which is really time-consuming and usually ends up with wasting product. This didn't make my skin break-out, and most foundations do, so that was an up-side for me. The colour was a good match and the colour really did stay, so much so that it is difficult to get off. But that's where the pro's for me ended. I couldn't blend this stuff into my skin with my fingers or a brush, it always ended up looking caked on, no matter how hard I tried. I had to resort to using sponges which made it slightly better, but it still looked cakey. The colour also oxidised throughout the day to have a slight orange look. I would not repurchase this, as it didn't really suit me, but other people seem to love it, so it might just be my oily skin. IMO there are other Revlon foundations that are much better than this.

Tips: Apply using make-up sponges for a more even and less cakey texture.

Best foundation!!

This is the best foundation I have ever used. I use it most days and it gives me great coverage for everyday use. I also use it when I'm going out and I can build it up for more coverage. I keep buying this foundation now. The pump bottle is so convenient too. With this product I find that a little bit goes a long way too.

Revlon colour stay foundation normal /dry skin

I received my revlon colour stay in the mail as it was a online purchase,I first did not like at the bottle was glass instead of plastic as I can be clumsy and would hate to drop it to little glass pieces and there was no pump on the bbottle,to apply the foundation I tipped the bottle up and placed some on the back of my hand,I put little spots of it over my face and started blending it into my skin,it was a great coverage,went on like silk and as I did my second layer the coverage was so good I really did not need a second layer,after setting with powder,I never had to touch it up until I took it off 10 hours later,I love it and it's not my favourite product from revlon,

Tips: Do not tip the bottle up to much to get the product outcome times it comes out fast

Revlon Colorstay Combination/Oily

I've always wanted to try this foundation as I've heard so many amazing reviews on it. My favorite foundation is Estee Lauder Double Wear and this is said to be a good dupe.

So I got this thinking it may be a cheaper alternative to my normal foundation. Firstly I decided to check findation.com to get my color match then bought it off Trade Me as its half the price.

The foundation itself is really great. It has good coverage (not as good as double wear but buildable) and is a nice matte finish. It applies very well and is easy to blend. It honestly looks so gorgeous on the skin and settles beautifully. It also lasts pretty much an entire day. I was quiet impressed.

Unfortunately the color is totally off! I thought i would just go in and get matched properly and it should solve all my problems. I asked a lady at Priceline (australian pharmacy) to match me. She was the so called beauty expert professional in the store. After trying a couple out on my skin she pretty much said "well I have one that is going to be too pink for you or one that is going to be too dark for you. Which would you prefer?" I was so disappointed! There was no way i was going to spend more money on this if it wasnt a perfect match.

Overall i think it is a good product but didn't work for me. Every shade option pretty much had a pink under-tone even when it was supposed to be yellow. Unfortunately I experience this with most drugstore foundations. I really wish this did work for me though :(

My new foundation staple!

I got this foundation in Sand Beige (Perfect match for me!) as an early birthday present from my sister. I'd been on the search for the perfect foundation that didn't cost an arm and a leg and I'd watched a number of you-tubers who highly recommended Revlon Colorstay as a drugstore alternative to the pricer brands like MAC. Unlike a number of the reviews I've read in relation to this foundation, my colorstay came with a pump which means I don't have to worry about spilling it everywhere. A lot of people also mentioned their dislike of the glass packaging, howver, I feel the packaging itself is pretty sturdy and unless you're throwing it across the room or dropping it on the concrete it should hold out just fine.

The foundation claims to last 24 hours, unfortunately I have yet to test this out as I generally only wear foundation for around 12 hours. In saying that, the foundation definitely holds firm for the majority of the day, especially if you use a setting powder. I did use this foundation in conjunction with my Garnier Blur, however, I found that the two didn't really go together and I actually prefer the overall look of the foundation when I don't wear a primer or blur cream. I also love the fact that the foundation is build-able and can therefore be used for a medium or heavy coverage.

I will definitely be repurchasing this product once I run out and I have a feeling it is going to be my go-to foundation for many years to come.

Incredible Coverage

This foundation I don't use as a everyday foundation as I prefer something that is light for an everyday foundation. I love this foundation for when I go out and want to wear something with a little more coverage. I have a naturally red skin tone so I love the coverage this foundation provides and feel like I don't have to use much concealer. It looks great in photos and gives me a lot of confidence.

My Most Trustworthy Foundation

I find I keep returning to Revolon Colourstay Foundation no matter what other foundations I try. The fact the range has two options, depending on your skin type is an added bonus. I use the Oily/combination type and I rarely get an Oily T zone with this long lasting foudation that provides great coverage. The only thing I would change about this product is having it produced in a bottle with a pump so that a measured amount was dispensed.

Holygrail foundation!

This is my absolute holy grail foundation. I love the fact that there is the combo/oily option aswell as the normal skin. It has such great coverage and so many shades to match everyone. I use this foundation everyday and it has never failed to impress me

One of my all time faves!

I definitely recommend this foundation for someone wanting a drugstore, full coverage liquid foundation.

The lasting power is pretty good, it has a nice matte finish, and it comes with a pump so you can control how much you use. It has buildable coverage which is perfect for me as I have redness on my cheeks, so one layer on my face plus a lil extra on my cheeks is perfect for me. I find you do have to work quite fast when applying though as it does dry quickly.

Pretty good range of shades from pale to dark, I do find it a little on the pricey side when store-bought but can be found cheaper online.

Tips: Applies best with a flat top brush or a beauty blender.

Good but not great

This product isn't good for medium skin tones I always seem to look orange when it's applied I don't know if its just me but yeah. I don't really like it but its okay it doesn't do that much coverage it feels like your wearing foundation so that was a let down. To me it wasn't light it was heavy on my face.
