My Favourite

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.

Tips: Use a BB cream base for an even fuller coverage.

Love Colorstay!

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.

Tips: Set you foundation with Colorstay pressed powder to help it last even longer. It also gives your foundation a matte finish and a smooth foundation for the rest of your makeup.

I've been wanting to try this for a while now

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.

Had high expectations

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.

Tips: Definatly better to use a foundation brush to apply this makeup. Would not reccomend using hands as it just doesn't seem to go on smoothly.

Colour stay...all day!

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.

Tips: ~Use a hydrating primer as this can be slightly drying.

One of my faves!

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

My perfect match

I am in love with this stuff. I recently discovered my skin has switched from being oily/combo to being fairly normal with the odd breakout. So Iv started using this and its fantastic. It has a medium coverage that's easily buildable to a full coverage. It spreads and buffs easily (I use my real techniques buffing brush). Colorstay has a broad range of shades, including my PERFECT match. This is now my favourite go-to foundation and I have already re-purchased for when I run out.

Great foundation

Great foundation, a perfect match for my skin which is great! This range has everything. I use 150 Buff which leans towards cooler tones (pink). It is very buildable and goes on a medium coverage.

Tips: For those with dryer skin, apply with a beauty blender/rt sponge and not a brush to avoid dry spots. Make sure to use a hydrating primer.

Revlon Colorstay Foundation First Impression

I haven't changed my foundation in a long time, and i don't know why i suddenly decided to try this one, but i'm glad i did... For the first 3 days of using this foundation, i received an average of 5 comments per day about how great i looked, which is really significant for someone like myself whose efforts usually go completely unnoticed. I'm not sure what it is that is so great about how this product looks on my skin from other peoples perspective just yet, but i am loving it for its lightweight feel and the coverage is better than i expected (somewhat buildable with extra layers if you work fast!) It is a long wearing foundation - i can go about my normal day-to-day routine and activities without worrying about it fading or rubbing off. I tend to rest of head on my hand during boring lectures but i don't get that foundation residue on my fingers that i'm used to! It is a bit pricey for the average makeup-wearer, but you don't have to use much per application, so i'm expecting the bottle to last me a decent length of time. I have the original formula in the original packaging (no pump) so i imagine it is easier with the new pump bottle.

Tips: Pour or pump the product onto a clean, flat surface (bottom of a powder container?) and spread it out into a thin, even layer to ensure that you are applying an even layer to your skin with your brush/sponge. Don't try to use too much at once - if you want to build up the coverage, add another thin layer afterwards, but work fast - if it dries while you're still applying it might start to look cakey!
