Revlon ColorStay Foundation - Normal/Dry Skin Review

I have been using this foundation for years now, I started of with the one for oily skin and now onto this one for normal to dry skin, as over the years my skin has changed especially in winter. Well it lasts all day no fading doesn't go flakey, non drying a nice matt finish. Lasts for ages. It's a nice lightweight foundation to use. I doesn't rub off on your clothes and blends in very easy, has a good range of colours. Sets beautifully hardly needs a touch up during the day. It's a nice lightweight foundation to wear.

this is the go to foundation its not one of my favorite foundations but its the best for it price i say this as i have been very spoilt for choice in the pass with working in pharmacies and on cosmetic counters but not anymore :(

color stay has a good coverage lasts all day but feels really heavy on

I am forever trying out new foundations, but always come back to this one, simply because it stays on all day, and doesn't oxidise. I have been disappointed over and over again with lower-end foundations such as this one, but this one really stands out from the crowd!

It is creamy, has a nice scent and starts off at a medium coverage. I tend to add a bit more to my freckly areas to cover them up. It is easy enought to build up the coverage of this foundation without having it look cakey.

The old bottles have no pump and are terribly messy, but the newer ones have pumps which makes it a lot easier to apply.

There are tons of shades in this range, so it's easy to get matched to your skin tone. Mine was matched so well it blends invisibly into my neck.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 :)
