I have two favorite foundations. Revlon Colorstay and Graftobian HD foundation.
Coverage and durability: I love this one because it is smudge resistant, lasts all day, had excellent coverage and is buildable. I think it feels lightweight once applied despite its thick liquid consistency and finishes matte or natural. Even if I go swimming it holds up fairly well.
For humid climates this foundation is great because it takes a lot to make it budge. for those prone to breakouts it might be a little too heavy though and maybe a water based foundation is better. If you have exceptionally dry or flaky skin its probably a good idea to scrub and moisturize before using this mascara as it is a matte finish and flakiness can show up under it quite easily (In Winter if its particularly cold I switch to Graftobian as its a creamier, more dry-friendly formula)
Application: Because this is a liquid foundation it dries fairly quickly. I found that applying with clean fingertips works best for me. I tried sponges but they tend to absorb more of the product than it applies to your face and brushes don't spread as evenly and tends to leave brush strokes on your face. I only use brushes with water based liquids or sponges with cream foundation.
Packaging: The packaging is visually pleasing and if you use a spatula its great because you can get all of the product out of the container, but because there is not pump top or squeeze tube it can get a little messy and if you just use your fingers its a bit unhygienic. Wash hands before and after using or use a clean sponge to apply.
Price: I have looked at the prices of this foundation and it varies greatly depending on country I travel to. I bought it for $9 in the states, but i've seen it range from that all the way up $35 in Australia. So if you can find it online (if not in the US) it's probably a lot cheaper than in shops. }

I've heard good things about this makeup for years, but just recently decided to give it a try. I normally wear tinted moisturizer, but I wanted something with a little more coverage. Although I'm in my mid-forties, I still have oily skin so I got the combo/oily formula. I was a little worried that it might be too difficult to spread or that it may settle into fine lines, but my worries were unfounded. It spreads and blends quite easily and evenly with a sponge and it doesn't tend to settle into lines. It looks natural and beautiful - not like a face caked with makeup. It even makes pores appear smaller! I still tend to get a little oily, but that's just the nature of my skin. It has not caused any breakouts at all. This is as close to HG as I've gotten with a foundation and I've tried way too many to list. Most of them have not been drugstore products and have cost at least twice as much as Colorstay.

I have been searching for something like this forever! I was never able to get it because of how it's $12. I will say that it is TOTALLY worth it. I use my NYC translucent powder over top of it and it is so amazing! I even use the Colorstay concealer as well. I was a little ehh with buying Nude because I'm always the second shade in makeup but it was the fourth shade. It works PERFECT and I'm so happy about that! I feel like even if I sweat this stays on. I have gym class at school so I needed something that would really help me stay fresh and amazing looking. I will most definitely repurchase this but I also like to go around and try as many foundations as I possibly can! Thank you, Revlon, for making beauty amazing, affordable, and for being the king of foundations!

I wanted to use this foundation because I've read some reviews and watched several videos on youtube that said it was pretty good and thought I'd give it a try...Really not worth it!It is very thick for me and i can't put it evenly on my face neither with my fingers,nor with my foundation brush..It always seems that I have discolorations and I have a cakey look...Also it is really bad for acne skin and it made my skin to break out...So even it came in a really good price(about 6$ or so) I really don't like it and don't recommend it and I will never purchase it again...

First off let me say that transfer resistant foundations are great for what they are and do. They are a godsend for more oily skin as that skin type literally makes regular base slide off their skin (unless specified for oily/acneic skin.) They're teriffic because they stay put (not getting on clothes, cell phones etc.) However, (and her's my caveat.): I think they tend to take on the texture of skin beneath. I.E. If you have dry, flakey, lined skin it makes this skin type appear moreso. If you have scarred, pot-marked skin it makes this skin type appear moreso underneath. Good news: If you have beautful, poreless normal skin transfer resistant base looks Amazingly Beautiful! Does it make this skin type as pretty as regular fondation (non transfer resistant?) No, it does not. Use a beautiful foundation like Chanel's Vitalumiere Aqua or Dior's DiorSkin Nude and transfer resistant falls very short of these formulas indeed. Why? Transfer resistant base will never give that illusion of light coming from within as in translucency, the very thing young, perfectly flawless skin has. However, that is not to say there is not a time and a place for base like Colorstay: Florida in August while it's 95 degrees with a 99% humidity and you have oily ladden skin. How about just anytime when you don't want to think or be in the mirror worried about touch-ups? Yes, I think there is a place for Colorstay and bases which perform like it. There must be because when you find somone who has been wearing Colorstay for years (and there must be many because I think Revlon makes a killing on this stuff) you will never get them to switch back to a non transfer resistant base EVER!!! My opinions here go double for anything (makeup) which falls into this transfer resistant category: lipstick, blush, powder (pressed), lip liner, eye liner etc. Colorstay started it all and remains the forebearer in this formula/field. I like the more sheer formula of the original Colorstay (Colorstay Active Light Makeup) which comes in a plastic tube.

What's good about this foundation: It stays on my oily face very well; does not transfer to clothes/phone; doesn't really need loose powder to set it after applying; color matched my skin tone perfectly.
What's bad about this foundation: The bottle is unhygienic and hard to use (a pump would have been nice); but the true deal breaker is that it made me break out after using it twice. I will be returning this to the store.

I really like this foundation. It blends pretty well, covers VERY nicely, and gives me a completely flawless look- something I have been looking for for years! However, the colors are a bit deceiving. They look deathly pale in their bottles, but they are much darker. I did buy 200 Nude but it is oh so slightly darker than my skin tone! I was so crestfallen because I thought it would be perfect! When I run out of this, I'll buy more :D. And also, it doesn't stay for a full 16 hours. I do end up rubbing some of it off during the day. It does stay well on the oily areas, which is what it is known for, but unless I use blotting paper, I can rub the foundation off my T-zone easily. So my only cons are the color and the oily-skin staying power. Other than that, this is a gorgeous foundation, and I think every woman should have it.

I have been using this foundation for a year now and I absolutely love it! I have oily, acne-prone skin and this foundation wears perfectly and does not break me out. I like that it's a full coverage foundation and has a matte finish. Also, it stays put ALL day long!
It is a bit of a challenge to apply since it dries fast. My recommendation is to work in small areas of your face. I like to use my fingers and then go over the area with a sponge to ensure there is no streaking. I highly recommend using a moisturizer before applying this foundation.
There is a slight scent to the product, that some people aren't fond of. Personally it doesn't bother me.
A little of this foundation goes a long way. It does have a tendency to look a bit cakey if too much is applied. I also don't like using it around my eye area as it appears too dry and flakey there.

At first I love this product because it gives amazing and natural looking coverage.. And no one can say you have a foundation on face but after 3 uses of this . I BROKE OUT.. So bad and it gives me many pimples that I didn't have when I'm not using this..

Overall
I think this foundation is worth trying. I love it in terms of staying power. On Friday, I went to homecoming (trust me things get hot & heavy) && I sweated for 4 straight hours. At the end of the dance, I went to the bathroom to check my makeup and I was still matte. AMAZING. I don't really like it for everyday wear, but for those special occasions-impeccable. continued >>

I like this stuff my I have pretty oily skin and this just doesn't stay. I also have faint age spots and small acne scars. This doesn't quite cover it. For me Color Stay Mineral Mousse is much better.

I have been using this foundation for about 4 years now since my friend put me on to it. I am one of those people who hate trying new/different foundations as the colour numbers and names are always confusing and hard to get right plus you can never guarantee something will be worth the switch. I was quite suprised at how good this was. I normally hate full coverage foundations as they always seem to look as if you have a mask of makeup on. This however, depending on how you use it, can give perfect coverage and not look maskey! I use this foundation with my fingers and either right after moisturising or mixing a little moisturiser in with it. I use Olay moisturiser and it mixes well. It helps the foundation spread more easily and lightens it slightly to blend better with my skin. It also stops the cakey look. I personally have never found an issue with the packaging, it's just something I have gotten used to. With the staying power it also performs well, lasting a whole day.

I love love love the Colorstay foundation with SoftFlex by Revlon! I was a huge fan of mineral makeup and I thought it was the best but then I got tired of my skin always getting oily by mid afternoon and always having makeup residue on my phone after using it. So, I read about this foundation and about how it supposedly lasts a long time so I got some, and let me tell you it is AMAZING! My skin is always oily and I use all sorts of products to help keep that under control, but, with Colorstay SoftFlex, my skin is literally NEVER EVER oily. It is also great because when I get home at the end of the day, my skin looks like how it did when I left (none of the makeup has worn off) and I don't get it smeared all over my phone either. Also, it has excellent coverage and you have to put quite a lot on for it to get cakey. The best part (other than the all-day matte finish) is that it doesn't make my skin break out at all, and I usually have very sensitive skin. As for all the reviews that say it is difficult to apply, blend, and get a consistent amount out of the bottle, I disagree. What works for me is to shake it, then tip it upside down onto a makeup sponge (or my fingers but sponge works best) and then tip it back up with the sponge and there is a perfect circle of foundation. To blend it, I apply the first circle of foundation to my forehead, blending down , and then the second two to each cheek, blending towards my nose and chin. Usually that covers everything although sometimes a little touch up is needed on certain areas.
Overall, it is the best foundation that I have used (even over bare minerals) and I would highly recommend it!!

I can wear this foundation all day without irritation or loss of quality! It looks great whether I've been wearing it for an hour or 8+. I have not had one blemish since I started using this great foundation, and I've tried many over the years (including the clinique superbalanced line, bare minerals, etc). I use this foundation daily and love how easily it blends and covers, keeps the shine away, and yet you can't tell you're even wearing it!
As for price, a little goes a long way, and drug stores always have great deals on products such as this one. It's well worth it considering what I've paid in the past for disappointing foundations. Packaging quality received a 3 because mine is an open bottle with no pump and I hate having to use a sponge on the rim!

I bought the combination/oily version because the color (Nude) matched my skin perfectly at the time that I bought it. I wanted the dry skin formula but there was no perfect match in color. It dries up quick in under a minute so you have to work quick. Coverage is medium to full, buildable, stays put after drying, sticking to the skin's surface till you remove it. Removal requires strong makeup remover such as Neutrogena Eye Makeup Remover, otherwise the foundation will remain on skin. Has a runny lotion like texture and you do feel like you've got something on your face even if you apply a thin layer of the foundation. But it's not totally unpleasant to the point where you just want to take it off.
Heard from a number of people that they've been put off by smell. Compared to Loreal Tru Match liquid foundation, Revlon's is tolerable and weaker... smells like perfume/powder of some sort. While the Loreal one smells like strong paint chemical to me (which is why I never bought Tru Match liquid).
Packaging could be improved with a pump. Need to shake well b4 use since the formula does break up slightly. Size: 1Fl oz/30ml per bottle. SPF6. Cost: $11CDN b4 taxes when on sale. Regular price b4 tax is about $19CDN.

So I finally decided to purchase this foundation to find out if the raves are true. To my surprised this is the only fondi that did not cause me additional breakouts other than the ones already on my face. I had used MAC, Clinique, Paul & Joe, Maybelline, even Artistry Balancing Foundation and many more, which caused my face to stay matte within an hour but eventually turned into an oil producing machine so that I had to blot with an oil blotting paper and re-touch with my Kanebo Kate pressed powder every now and then. But this kept my face really matte without the cakey dry effect. I just used blotting papers on my T-zone to remove the shiny look and no more re-touchs. I also anticipated my cystic pimples to come out after a week's use - which I experienced after using the the Paul & Joe's and the Clinique - but fortunately they haven't appeared yet. The downside of this fondi, I think, is its packaging but still very manageable. The bottle is a hit or a miss, either you pour too little or too much. So, I just transferred the product into a clean empty lotion bottle pump (with cap) so that every use i just squeeze an ample amount and apply it using my ring finger.
I also checked its hazard meter at cosmeticsdatabase.com and i found out that it is only at moderate level no. 4 (out of 10) which is still safe to be used. continued >>

This product is a great full coverage foundation. It stays put, doesn't rub off and covers blemishes. The finish is an airbrushed look, which I love. There are 2 things I do not like about it though. 1. It doesn't come with a pump! It is messy and I feel like I waste a lot of product. 2. It is also very hard to wash off! I feel like I have to wash my face 5x to get all the product off. Other than those 2 things, it is a great product.

Would u buy this product again??.....1000 time yessssssss.....I love this foundation in every way....it's so good for that price that i couldn't imagine the first time i got it.Now i dyscoverd a new way in applying it....I mixe it with Revlon Photo Ready and....tha daaaaa.....gorgeous....Everybody knows it's the best drugstore foundation ever and i really hope they will not discontinue the triage.....

I had tried Colorstay years ago before Soft Flex and found it to be sticky and hard to blend. When I heard this had been reformulated, I decided to give it a try and boy am I glad I did! It goes on creamy and is easy to blend with a foundation brush and it covers all my imperfections but still looks natural. I have sun spots and broken capillaries and the full coverage of this foundation covers everything with one coat. I have True Beige and it is the exact match for my skin color. The other great thing is that the formula for combo/oily skin really holds back the oilies. I have a horribly oily t-zone and find that I look matte all day and never have to blot, even after over 12 hours of wear. CVS recently had a BOGO 50% on Revlon, so I bought 2 backups. I never want to be without this foundation!

I am beyond impressed with this product! My skin is clear, but I do have some discoloration that I need to even out/cover. This foundation makes my face look absolutely flawless! I was floored when I tried it for the first time two days ago. My mom has rosacea and can actually cover the redness with this formula. I love this Revlon foundation because it leaves my skin looking beautiful, blends easily, holds up in extreme heat and humidity, and comes in a number of shades. The only thing I don't like is that the bottle is glass. As another reviewer noted, it would be a hazard if it fell on the floor. Still, I'm thrilled with the results of the actual product itself and don't think the type of bottle is enough of an issue to take away a lippie. I've tried numerous formulas of foundation from companies such as MAC, Clinique, Origins, Cover Girl, Mary Kay, and Prescriptives. This Revlon foundation is my favorite, hands down!
