WOW! I love this stuff! I bought this after I stopped using Neutrogena's Skin Clearing Compact, which ironically made me break out pretty bad. Before I used that, my acne was pretty mild. Since I used this, my skin has been improving again. Pretty weird. Anyway, the color I use is "Buff" for my fairly light Asian skin, but I think I'm between that shade and the next shade "Nude".//EDIT: I have stopped using this for quite a while. And I'm glad that I have...since it started to break me out =/

THIS IS THE BEST MAKE UP!! I am very suprised that the review isnt as high. Anyways i use to suffer from acne as a teen so i have a few red marks around my cheek area but still feel more confortable wearing a foundation to cover them up plus i have darker eye cirles. This make up does the trick!! It cover s up soooo nicely even on bad days , your gonna see a bump no matter what kind of make up u use , a zit is a bump but seriously iam amazed. When my day is over my foundation is still working. My skin is not that oily when i wear this make up however i use to be on accutane when i was in high school so maybe thats why.Over all this make up doesnt make me break out which i dont need, so if your looking for a long lasting good covering make up at a good price (and i tried department store brands)than i truely recommend this!

I LOVE this product!! Its great coverage for acne marks that i once suffered from. I apply this stuff after i wash my face in the morning and it still looks just as new when i go wash it off before i go to bed. It doesnt make my face very oily which is good however i once was on accutane and maybe that is the reason why my skin isnt very oily now.Also it is mineral oil free which is good cause it clogs pores. I recomend this make up if your looking for something that covers great and stays on all day. This is better than my clinique make up which i paid twice as much for. This is my favorite!!

Overall: Great coverage and pretty close match to my asian yellow tone. I use it under my eyes too. I mix with some moisturizer (Loreal) and it does dry and form lines just a bit but that happens with all products. I just blot a bit here and there during the day. It doesn't come off on clothing . It comes off with any facial wash cleanser & cloth. I have prescriptives custom blend and after 3 tries those girls gave up and said that is the best they can do (still doesnt match up properly -there goes 50+ dollars down the drain) I'm in MA, USA.
Price: could be less but okay.
Package: pump is okay - sometimes it squirts out too much, poor control, i'd like a wand applicator instead.
I got buff color in this Color Stay Stay Natural Revlon Foundation. SPF 15 is a nice addition too.

IF YOU ARE GOING FOR HEAVY COVERAGE TO HIDE BLEMISHES AND DISCOLORATIONS ... this stuff is it! I love it, I have combo, somewhat acne-prone skin; the acne is under control now but over the last 10 years face has acquired lots of scarring, red marks, even some slight pitting, and this foundation covers it all. It dries quickly so blend in fast, and a little goes a long way... if you use too much it will feel cakey. I usually set mine with a little loose powder. This makeup is NOT for people with flawless skin who get three small pimples at a time and think their life is ending...this is for you ladies out there who have been living with BAD acne as well as scarring for your whole adult life and feel the need to hide your real skin from the world everyday before you walk out the door. And you know who you are...so try this, let me know if you feel the same way! (By the way, I am working on improving the skin itself but am not yet brave enough to try a foundation without heavy coverage...baby steps! :)

I have been wearing this foundation for three weeks and am shocked at how much I love it. I have tried nearly every department store foundation (Lancome, Estee Lauder, Origins, Prescriptives, etc.) for my very oily, acne prone skin and have never been happy with the results or the price tag. Well, thanks to MUA I tried this and my skin is loving it. This is a huge because my skin hates everything! I only have to blot a couple of times a day. The price was fab because I waited until it was BOGO. Very pleased with this product. Who knew that a drugstore foundation could actually look great on my skin?! This is looking like HG status for me! UPDATE*** ~ Okay ... my skin quit liking this stuff and I am now breaking out like crazy. Back to the drawing board.

I am having the worst breakout of my life (and I *DO NOT* breakout) right now as a result of this foundation.

To review the product itself. Too thick. Looks way too overdone (not matter how little I use).

Only good thing is that I found a perfect color match. Such a shame that the perfect color match had to be wasted on such a crappy foundation.

I love, love this foundation and have been using it for a year. It's very natural on my skin (I use the buff shade), doesn't break me out and gives me the matte finish that I want. Just a warning -- when you get to the end of the bottle, it tends to 'spurt' a bit. I got some on a shirt of mine and it does not come out of clothing!! I tried dabbing it off with cold water immediately and some of it came off, and then when I washed the shirt and used Spray & Wash, it is still there. It's faint, but it's still there. Be careful not to get it on your clothes! Love it though and will be more careful when towards the end of the bottle and will definately buy again.

Think I'll be going to the store to repurchase this and stock it up before the sale promotion ends. Got this from a friend who got it in a swap. Perfect shade (buff) that matches my fair Asian skintone. I took a lippie off cause I think the price to pay for a drugstore foundation like this one is too high. But still, it's cheaper than my MUFE Mat Velvet. UPDATE **: I've been using this for over a week. I've upgraded this from "4" to "5" A+++++!

Very happy with this foundation. I have oily skin, large pores, and a tendency to breakout. I have been using the regular ColorStay, but decided to give this a try because I liked the pump bottle and the slightly higher SPF. This went on smoothly and evenly, covered my red nicely, didn't make me extra oily, covered my pores, and lasted all day. I had to use a concealer for some old acne marks, as this is sheerer than the regular ColorStay and didn't cover them as well. But with a dusting of powder on top, I looked surprisingly natural. There seems to be a good color range. Buff matched my "warm ivory" skin rather well. It is a yellow-based color, which I like as I have so much red in my face. It helps to tone things down. I would recommend this for combination/oily girls, and will definitely repurchase. UPDATE - I upped my review to 5 lipsticks instead of 4. I've been wearing this foundation for the last few days, and I'm receiving compliments from people about how good my skin looks! Nobody has ever complimented me on my complexion. To me, that says it all! UPDATE #2 - Still very happy with this foundation, but it definitely is causing breakouts. But that may not be a problem for you, and it is still a product that I recommend.

I have this in "buff" (MAC NC20). I've used the original version of Colorstay and that was way too masky, thick and cakey which left me looking like a wrinkled old lady by the end of the day. Now I prefer the Stay Natural version better cause it has a thinner consistency with a sheerer coverage. The shade is superbly matched to my LLL skintone and leaves it looking natural and matte with a touch of loose powder. I had no oilies all day nor new breakouts. This formula kinda reminds me of my Lancome Teint Idole except that it's less than half the price. Great as an everyday makeup foundation for work or casual. It has spf15 which is just nice for me. The packaging of this is way better than the original Colorstay because it comes with a pump. And the bottle is slimmer. Will definitely repurchase!!! 1 lippie off cause I expected better coverage for pimple prone days but for now, it's ok.

I was really expecting something great from this makeup but definetly didnt get anything good. I really hate how thin this stuff is. I also hate that it actually doesnt stay that well!! Im still using my l'oreal true match which works much better.

The only thing I really did'nt like was that it dried way too quick! Other than that i liked how it would stay on for a long time and the smell was pleasant i think.

This is the first foundation I've used and has stayed on my face!!!!
I have combo oily and although it's always hard to combat an oily t-zone, it works pretty damn good with nice even coverage for an even complexion.

I have this in Buff (second lightest shade), which looks a little too dark and yellow for my NC20 skin when I first put it on but the coverage is sheer enough that it still blends in perfectly. I've never tried the original ColorStay foundation so I don't know how this one compares but I've never had any trouble with streaking or uneven coverage and I'm not even very skilled at applying foundation. The coverage is matte with a slightly tacky feeling which grabs powder very well or, if you skip the powder, will give your skin a very slight dewey look. My only complaint is that the oilies eventually break though, expecially around my t-zone, and it takes me three remover-soaked (I use an oil-free dual phase remover) pads (both sides of each pad) to take off all the make-up at the end of the day.

I love this foundation. It goes on ultra smooth and makes your skin look flawless.It has medium coverage and will cover any discoloration or acne scars that you may have. I have tried many foundations and must say this is the nicest oil free foundation that you can find especially for the price. It's consistency is close to Laura Mercier's oil free foundation but the price is way better. I will definately rebuy this product again!!!

this foundation is so heavy! I couldn't wear it in spring, nor in summer, because it was really heavy and greasy. I liked the spf15, but it's too thick for my taste and too heavy to wear every day. I couldn't cleanse my face enough so I had to soak 4 (!!!) cotton pads with a toner to get it off.

Although it stuck to its name of 'colour stay' this meant it was impossible to get off! It dried extremely fast so I could not blend it at all and it ended up being very thick and heavy. It didn't allow my skin to breathe at all and masked my face completely. Because of this I ended up breaking out by the end of the day!
Edit: I found out that I was applying it much too heavily, use very little and it will blend easily and will still cover imperfections. I like it now and I trust revelon a lot more!

The best drug store foundation out there, I have combo skin – oily T zone with regular cheeks etc. I have found that I can wear this over sunblock without powder and I still don’t get shine after 8 hours!!! It’s fantastic. The price is reasonable. My only major complaint is that is does not come in shade light enough for my skin I’m very pale with yellow undertones and buff is only good on my skin when I’m using fake tanner during the spring and summer months. Too bad I would buy it all year long if I could match it too my skin during the winter. (Used to be a MAC C1 before it was discontinued, and tried L’Oreal ColourMatch in W1, also a great match but that caused me to break out :( )
