Revlon ColorStay Foundation - Normal/Dry Skin Review

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.

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 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 really love this foundation for a full matte coverage. They have a wide range of colors which was awesome for me as I found this was the first ever foundation that match my skin tone. If you apply it right it looks just flawless on the skin. This will be one foundation I will always have in my collection.

This really is a great foundation for a 'drugstore' foundation. The coverage is medium to full depending on how much you use, it definitely buildable but you have to work quickly as it dries/sets in no time!

I found this lasts quite well on my skin during the day, I tend to wear this over a BB cream and use my fingers to blend it out - a damp sponge also does a great job.

Since discovering this foundation it is the only one I use! Light weight and smooth, when applying this foundation never looks cakey! I like that you can build up to the amount of coverage you want and the product doesn't settle in to your fine lines/wrinkles. I like to pump a small amount of product on to my fingers, stipple this on to my face and then use a flat top brush to buff out. Although the bottle is small, you dont need a large amount of product so this foundation will last you quiet a while, which is a bonus for the price!

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.

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.

I use reckon colour stay everyday! Most amazing foundation I have ever used. Blends amazing, dry to touch, Easily build-able without caking up. Perfect foundation all round. It hides all my blemishes without concealer.

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.
