Revlon ColorStay Foundation - Normal/Dry Skin Review

Picked this up cheap from the brand outlet in shade nude 200. Love that this foundation has a pump, 2 pumps covers my whole face and neck, I don't need much product as I find the coverage sufficient, but it is definitely buildable without being cakey or heavy. It wears very well, my job involves a lot of lifting and moving about and this holds up well as long as I set it with powder. Medium coverage but buildable, quite a thin consistency but easy to blend out. This is my new holy Grail and I'll be repurchasing once this bottle runs out. My powders layer beautifully on top of this foundation which is great being I have dry skin and this is usually an issue for me.

I like that there are different shades for different skin types. Covers all the blemishes and stays on for up to 12 hours. Easy to apply with it having a pump, so stays nice and tidy and doesnt get messy. Gives a good matte finish.

As I have lighter skin I really enjoyed the colour range of Revlon's foundation but was a bit saddened to find that the coverage was not quite enough. My skin is dry normally and I use a primer before wearing foundation for a few hours however this did not prolong the wear of this foundation as it easily melted down. I would use this foundation in summer or on the odd occasion that I seek a lighter coverage but not for a night out.

I really like this foundation. It feels a bit weird compared to other foundations because it's pretty runny and thin. It's medium coverage and is easy to build up. It blends into my skin nicely and has a good finish when I apply it with a flat top brush

I find that it stays in place really well when I set it with a powder.

I was excited to try this out after reading so many fabulous reviews. I have very pale skin so was stoked when ivory fitted my skintone perfectly.

I prepped my skin and applied using my beauty blender. It is a very runny consistency and a little definately goes a long way. The coverage is great but it just did not sit on my skin well at all. It looked very cakey and obvious which I hate.

I tried applying this several ways and got the same outcome everytime. Any dry patches it seemed to cling too real bad and if I am honest it made it look worse.

So a big thumbs down from me which is a shame but we all know what works for one skin type may not for another.

Revlon Colorstay Foundation is really nice!

I recently decided to buy and try this foundation and I'm glad I did.

It comes in a standard size bottle of 30 mls and now includes a pump for mess free application and no waste.

The formula is nicely pigmented and quite thin, it has a medium buildable coverage, I use 2 pumps for a near full coverage application. It is beautifully blended out with a beauty sponge. This foundation could be used with a foundation brush also.

The wear time is really good and stays nice for 12 hours at least, amazing! There is a great variety of shade option, both cool and warm based.

The finish is quite Matt but not dry looking and it is super comfortable to wear.

Other pros to this foundation is how readily available to is and as Revlon do countless deals you are bound to pick it up for a good price or with a free gift.

I really loved this product. Its quite good but the colour didn't fit me. But I loved how it felt on my skin it was good for my oily skin I will buy if I could find a colour that's for me but even still the light and dark colours are good for contour

I purchased this foundation because I had heard lots of people (including BR members on here) raving about how good it was and that it was a dupe for Estée lauders double wear foundation. And I am happy to say that I am now a fan. I have never tried double wear so I can't compare , but this foundation is high coverage which is buildable. If I set it with powder it lasts me a good 6-8 hours during the day.

The consistency of this foundation is quite thin, whereas most high coverage foundations I've used are quite thick. The thin consistency makes it easy to apply and blend into your skin. It also allows you to build up layers, and if you want a medium coverage you can just put a light layer on. I use a brush to apply this foundation, usually my stipple brush, and I find I get a perfect application that is not blotchy or streaky.

My bottle is the old packaging. It's a glass bottle with a screw lid. The new bottles now have pumps. At first I found the screw on lid annoying, but now I quite like it as I've gotten used to tipping the foundation out on my hand as I can get the right amount of product out. A pump can sometimes be hard to control.

This foundation range has lots of shades too which is good. It's really affordable and about half the price of double wear.

Overall I really like this foundation and the coverage I get from it. I would definitely purchase this again.

I started using this foundation over summer while off work, as I was getting tired of paying MAC and Estee Lauder prices. I was pleasantly surprised with the great quality for such an affordable foundation. This foundation is great, I found that 2 pumps gave me a perfect amount of product and the bottle has lasted me since Boxing Day and is only just struggling to pump now. The consistency is nice and it feels very light on your face when you apply it, it has very buildable coverage too so on break out days I feel good. It also doesn't have that smell that some foundations have.

My only real issue is that I still need to do touch ups fairly regularly on my dry zones , my nose in particular.

I have nothing but good things to say about this product.

This is my go to daily foundation and it is hands down the best that i have tried. It feels as tho this foundation was made for my skin, Its not too oily and not too dry. The coverage it gives my skin makes it look flawless and not cakey! It last really well and has SPF 15 which is perfect for sunny days.

10/10 will continue to buy and use this regularly.
