Revlon ColorStay Foundation - Normal/Dry Skin Review

I found this foundation to be similar to the MAC Studio Fix Foundation Fluid. The finish is always really nice although it can be quite hard to work with as it dries quite quickly but it can also be mixed with other foundations to get really good coverage. I always love the way my skin looks after using this, it’s a classic foundation that I always have a bottle of :)

I used to use this consistently a few years ago as it's affordable and does a pretty good job. Nowdays I only purchase this when I've run out of my Napoleon foundation and can't make a trip to Auckland to get any more.

Revlon colourstay has a good coverage, esp if you suffer from red veiny cheeks as I do and is very easy to apply, with either fingers, a sponge or a brush. They have a good colour range too.

The main reason I stopped using daily was I found it was rubbing off during the day around my chin and tip of my nose and I just don't have the time for touch ups during the day.

It's a good all rounder foundation, esp for those just starting out. I like that it has a fairly matte finish, as I'm not into the dewy look at all.

I use this foundation everyday and love it. The colour selection is fantastic. 150 buff is the perfect shade for my skin as unlike my other foundations it is not so much yellow based, nor red based... just natural brown skin colour. It gives me good coverage for everyday and is dirt cheap. I buy mine of Trademe for $18. Only con is it does not come with a pump unless you buy instore for double the price. This means I have to clean it off the back of my hand after application. It feels nice on my dry skin and does not go cakey on dry areas.

This is a basic staple for any foundation collection. The product provides great medium to full coverage and has a matte finish to it. The colour range is very good and I have found my perfect match of 110 Ivory. It does set quite quickly but it is not a major issue. This foundation also has good staying power and requires minimal touch ups throughout the day.

I recently switched to this product from Revlon photoready. I have tried this product in both formulas but still unsure I which one I prefer. This foundation is a medium to full coverage and applies nicely. I find that it lasts a full day on my face but don't know if it would last 24 hours like it suggests that it would. I like the colour range of this product I wear the lightest shade and its a good value for money because one bottle will last me at least 6 months of everyday use.

I use this foundation as my backup.... I do like this foundation but I do find it to me very cakey on me and half way through the day it seems to come off.

I find it very hard to work with as it dries quite fast, but it does do a full coverage and leaves a nice finish. Also for the price of it l, which you can get for $22 on sale I find it a must have for a make up collection.

All in all I do like this foundation but I wear it more in the night if I'm going out :)

Defiantly long wearing and non-transferable. I have normal skin and I find that colour stay for normal skin does make my skin quite dry and flakey. I used the combination to oily and it fits me MUCH better!

I love this foundation! And i'm yet to find one i like better. I have heard allot about this foundation being better in the oily/combination formula, but in my experience i don't really see a difference. I have quite dry skin so i don't want anything to matte or drying and this makes my skin dewy looking and not dry at all. I like the way it holds up on my skin as well. I do find it oxidizes a little and becomes slightly darker. So i do recommend blending it thoroughly when applying. Its easy to apply, i use a flat top kabuki brush and it blends out amazingly. Its coverage is great and it doesn't flashback in photos.

I have been using this foundation for the past 4 years and I love it. I will often buy others to test out but always come back to this one. It doesn't dry my skin out and is long lasting. It covers well especially when used with the photoready concealer and powder and the combination on the three is perfect for me. It was discontinued and reformulated and I haven't actually noticed much of a difference in the formula at all. The range of colours is good also I have a summer one and a winter one and blend them in between as I lose my summer tan.

This is one of my backup foundations if I cant afford to splurge on my normal foundation. I like to switch up between mineral and maximum cover but this is a nice go to sometimes. Not sure about 24hours I would never wear my foundation that long lol but it did last a full work day for me. I don’t use a powder or anything to set so I would imagine if I used powder to set it would last a lot longer but it wears the whole work day for me so I’m happy with that. It has a lightweight feel on the skin (doesn’t make me feel cakey and too done up) it evens out my skin tone well. I do need to add extra cover to my dark circles unfortunately these are genetic and require some serious work to get rid of !. Med-full coverage on me, matt finish. It was very easy to apply (im a hands on applier but would be great with a beauty blender). I didn’t get any breakouts or anything from it which is good. All in all this product lasts really well , good colour match for me I would highly recommend it.
