Revlon ColorStay Foundation - Combination/Oily Review

Stays on for well over 8 hours - I am currently using the Fresh Beige #250 it covers the broken red capillaries on my cheeks really well.

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 love this product as its been the closest colour match ive ever had. Moderate price point makes it an easy staple for everyday wear. It is very easy to apply, i use a brush. It is also easy to do more than one layer if needing a heavier base. It does rub off, so it needs to be set on with powder.

This is the best foundation I have found. It does what it says and lasts a long time. It has great coverage and is not thick so doesn't look caked on. It gives redness and gives a nice even finish. Love it.

I had high hopes for this as a cheaper every day alternative to my usual foundation but ultimately it didnt really work well for me. I get very oily skin especially around my nose and this foundation initially was patchy and melted off. After trialing a few different bases under it, I finally found one that worked and it has been ok as an every day foundation for work but I dont think I'll be buying it again after I run out. I found the coverage medium.

I have used Revlon colour stay many times, the coverage is absolutely amazing and one of the biggest pluses on this product. It doesn’t look to cakey and has a natural looking but also very full coverage. I had problems with my pores with some other foundation which lead my foundation to looking quite funny and seperated but with colour stay I didn’t have this problem. It truly does stay in place and it lasts for the day, when I use this foundation I don’t top up throughout the day. Which is a bonus for this busy Mumas life.

I have been using this for about 2 years now - I was searching for an alternative that would give me the same coverage and length of stay as the amazing Estee Lauder Double Wear. This one ticks all the boxes!!! The coverage is really good, and it literally stays on all day. I get home from work and my skin still looks great. The bottle usually lasts me a few months as well which is great. It has an easy to use pump that dispenses just the right amount as well.

I think my absolute favourite foundation would have to be double wear.. unfortunately my wallet doesn’t agree with me. But this is such an affordable alternative.

I have picked this up recently at postie plus for $20 but usually go to life where I get life points and can get this for $30 on sale which I think is totally reasonable.

If you’ve used Estée Lauders double wear you will have a good idea of a good foundation.. I haven’t met anyone that didn’t like it.. but this is such a good alternative you wouldn’t know the difference between the two looking at it on the skin.

Good selection of colours for a start.

A decent sized bottle and you can easily see what’s left.. the bottle of B.B. cream I’m using you can’t see and it’s a bit annoying so I always like to see what I’ve got left.

Easy to dispense pump and the formula spreads like a dream. It’s consistency is nice and gives you a flawless look without caking or streaking. I’ve applied with fingers.. I always revert back to them as brushes and sponges are usually m.i.a and it’s always given me a nice complete look so it’s definitely quite easy to use and blend.

Lasts alll day for me. I don’t look melted or have creases which is amazing. It is a great alternative for me to my favourite. All day to me usually means 9-5 - after the school runs and when I’m settled back home cooking dinner so I would actually feel pretty positive about going out for an evening without too much of a touch up.

Definitely full coverage for me. I can usually get away with a med weight foundation for a full coverage look luckily so this just gives that extra bit of coverage and longevity which I need to ensure I don’t resemble Casper.

I’ve been exercising with is on now I have to try and keep my blood sugars in tact and it’s lasted through that.. it’s not too hard an exercise regime but it’s surviving a mild work out or paced walk.

I have use this Colorstay foundation since it was available on the market. I like a medium-heavy coverage, as I’m very conscious of imperfections on my skin, and this allows for good coverage of blemishes and blotchy skin tone. Being oily, my skin doesn’t mind this foundations - so many cheaper brands just slide off in an oil slick, but I can rely on Revlon Colorstay to stay on my face all day / night, and stay put! If I feel like a lightweight coverage (which is not often)
