Revlon ColorStay Foundation - Combination/Oily Review

I purchased this foundation after seeing lots of positive reviews on this website. I had previously been using a more expensive foundation and was seeking a more affordable alternative.

It look me a couple of applications to figure out the best way to apply to achieve the look I want and actually am pleasantly surprised. I find this foundation gives good coverage and leaves my skin looking nice and fresh and lasts well throughout the day and that’s without using a primer too. I think I prefer to just apply with my fingers and on the areas I want a little more coverage just pat the foundation into my skin and blend out with my foundation brush to make sure it’s even. As mentioned is other reviews this foundation dries quite quickly so it’s best not to muck around and get it blended fast working on one area of your face at a time. My skin is oily combination and although dry in parts particularly around nose, I find this product works well and hasn’t made my skin breakout like other foundations have done in the past. I don’t use a powder after applying this as I don’t really find I need to as skin isn’t too oily this time of year and I like the slightly dewy finish it provides. I normally just use moisturiser and then apply this foundation but imagine using a primer and concealer/powder would be beneficial depending on your skin type. I look forward to trying out the primer, concealer and powder (especially in summer when skin is oily). Love the glass bottle and pump, nice and practical. At the end of the day I take this off just with a warm face cloth followed by cleanser and find that works well. Will definitely purchase again.

I love this foundation and have been using it everyday for around 4-5 years. Its affordable, and provides the coverage I need for my sensitive acne-prone skin. As I have quite pale skin, I find that the ivory shade in this range perfectly matches my skin. This blends well with no streaks and stays in place over my busy work day, with no need for touch ups! I like that it is affordable, and a bottle lasts me around 6 months with daily use. Love it!

I love this foundation! There are so many shades so it is easy to find the one right for you. (I went to Farmers and got one of the helpful ladies at the kiosk to help)

I use this one everyday! perfect for everyday work or going out at night! long lasting, doesn't feel like you have anything on and doesn't transfer!

I adore this foundation, it is my absolute go to! I love how it is waterproof and stays looking amazing the whole night, great for parties where makeup has to look good the entire night haha! The colour math is perfect for me in 150 Buff <3 Ahhh would totally repurchase!!

Great foundation, plenty of different shades to suit everybody. I use this product everyday! Great coverage and works well with other powders and bronzer. It does not feel greasy and a little bit goes a long way. I have tried heaps and heaps of different foundation but always come back to this one  Great job Revlon!!

This is such full coverage, I can almost get away without using concealer most days. It survives the worst weather and with my oily skin, I don't find myself having to use blot powder later in the afternoon either. It doesn't move, melt or look patchy and a little bit of product really does go a long way! Buff is a perfect match for my skin colour and in photos, it looks flawless. I love to apply this with a sponge to give a truly flawless finish and set with powder.

This was given to me by the Revlon rep because I was saying how much I loved double wear. She said this is Revlons answer to double wear. She gave me the colour sand beige and I was excited to try this. I always use a primer so I went about applying this foundation. I found it went on very smoothly and evenly. There was no shine and it gave a good coverage. I use my fingers to apply foundation. It lasted all day long and was easy to remove with my usual cleanser. I am happy with this foundation and will repurchase.

This foundation is the one that I always come back to. I've tried many but this one is the most consistent. It's great to wear all day long with no touch ups needed, it doesn't cake on the skin and it has really good coverage. It is very similar to Estee Lauder double wear but I actually prefer Revlon because it applies a lot easier - the double wear tends to sink straight into your skin before you've got a chance to blend it around!
