Revlon ColorStay Foundation - Normal/Dry Skin Review

After hearing about this foundation from youtube and friends, I decided to try it-I was super impressed that I could actually find a shade light enough for my skin tone and after applying this for the first time and then wearing it all day, I was in love. It goes on super easily and doesn't look to cakey and it lasts ages without so much as going patchy especially around my nose where I find foundation always goes patchy. It's the perfect coverage and is buildable if you want super full coverage. Definitely a must have

This is a great foundation to have for those times you want to have a more classic look.

It has a medium coverage which lasts all day and can be built up to get a fuller cover (but too much can look a bit heavy), although I cant say it would last 24hrs as I only wear this when I go out somewhere special. I like the bottle it comes in but sometimes find it fiddly/messy to use.

I do think the results are a tad dull looking but with good blending it works great and can suit most skin types. Especially because there is a nice range of shades.

The downside is the cost, it just isn't what I call flawless so I expect something better for that price.

It is lightweight and really doesn't rub off which is perfect for me.

I purchased this foundation after considering it for a long time. I was color and skin matched and was given shade 220 natural beige for oily/combination skin. I still can't quite figure out if I'm a fan or not! I have pretty typical combination skin and this foundation seemed to leave me dry on my cheeks and forehead. It does have good buildable coverage and still allows skin to breathe. I think I might try another skin type if I choose to repurchase.

This foundation is great coverage wise (medium I would say) and it is quite build-able which I like. It goes on smoothly and as long as it is buffed in well doesn't look cakey and super unnatural. It also has great staying power, looking great throughout the day like it claims too. I think it is pretty good value for money (especially if you can get it on sale) and a great staple foundation to have in your makeup bag :)

but it left me so dissapointed. First of all the ivory that I usually get in other ranges was too light for me (I did buy it online so was mostly my fault for that!), but I still wanted to try it as bronzer can always be used to perk it up anyway. It looked nice when first applied but then quickly settled into my pores and my lunchtime had caked really badly around my nose. I do have quite dry skin and I have issues with most foundations around my nose but this was really bad. Maybe for more normal skin it may have been ok. I tried it twice and it didn't work either time. I used primer one time and I used a sponge for the first application and brush for the second.

If you are looking for foundation that lasts all day, then this is the product for you! Foundation goes on smoothly and truly does last all day. It comes in a wide range of shades and has a light SPF factor to keep you protected from the sun. You need to work quickly with this foundation as it does set fast. I would defiantly recommend this product.

I Use this for everyday and evening coverage, it has always been my favourite and the colour sand beige fits me perfectly. I Apply it with a brush and use circular motions to blend it in. Would buy again and again as it stays on all day. Only downside is if it accidentally gets on your clothes it is hard to get out. Still a 5/5 for me.

Overall this foundation was okay and I used a whole bottle but do not think I will purchase it again. One of the main issues I have with this is the colour. While it was close enough, I always felt like the lightest shade was too pink for me. I am quite fair and the next shade up was too dark but I managed to make it work with enough blending. I found the best way to apply this is with a wet sponge. This applied a thin layer and could be built up to a medium coverage. I do not think it was a full coverage foundation though, and when I did try to make it have more coverage I found it could become quite heavy. In terms of this being appropriate for dry skin, I do not think it was. When I had dry patches I found it enhanced them - it was certainly not hydrating. As for this foundation being long lasting, I did not wear it for 24 hours to comment on that aspect. On average I would wear it for 8 to 10 hours and for that period of time it did seem to last well enough.

Finally a foundation that does what it says it will! Can wear it thin or add more to go out at night/dinner etc. Such a lovely product to wear, feels light and fresh without rubbing off.
