ColorStay Makeup [Reformulated Early 2013]

I have the Revlon Colorstay foundation in the shade 150 Buff. And it’s for normal to dry skin as I have combination skin, but it’s a bit more towards the drier side than the oilier side. Well, I get oily in my T-zone but what I’m trying to say is that I’m really impressed by the foundation because when I’m applying it, it kind of sets itself! It’s not a completely matte finish, but it dries somehow.

It doesn’t show any dry patches on my skin, it’s just melting beautifully together with my skin, and it’s not too dewy because dewy foundations do not really set themselves and are still moveable. With the Revlon foundation, I have enough time to blend it into the skin (love using a sponge for it), and it’s a fantastic foundation to build up layers.

I would say it …Read more

Rating it on this page too as it is just so great. It lasts doesnt break out my extremely sensitive skin despite being cheap as long as I of course wash it off properly with oil n cleanser n gently no harsh scribbing
(Guerlain Chanel MAC foundations all break me out n i have MULTIPLE types of foundations from these line esp Guerlain)...


i can set with powder but the …Read more

I'm reviewing the Colorstay Foundation for combination/oily skin.

I bought this because I read that this lasts really good on oily skin and keeps you matte all day. However this was too matte for me.

The coverage is quite nice for something so affordable. I bought this in 150 buff, which is a litte darker than 110 Maybelline Matte and Poreless. It did fit my skin tone …Read more

I have this in the normal/dry formula. The pump on the bottle is really nice, but, ehhh I don't love it... I think my closest match still leans a bit too pink for me. It also seems to have a "mind of its own", really does, I'm tellin ya... listen - sometimes I can get it to look reasonably natural and pretty with my beauty blender, and other times it looks cakey and flaky …Read more

This is basically the only foundation I use in my professional kit because it works for all skin types! It doesn't accentuate dry patches and it really lasts well - it still looks perfect after hours of sweating! I wouldn't recommend this for daily use though because it is so matte and so doesn't look 100% natural. It also hasn't broken any of my clients out and is good for …Read more

This foundation is affordable, easy to find, and has great coverage. I got it in shade 150 for my pale olive skin. I'm rating it a 3 because it exacerbated the dryness in my skin. It made my chin look super flakey. It's possible I need to get the one for dry skin. The Colorstay I purchased is for combo/oily skin and has SPF 15. It didn't seem to cause flashback despite the SPF …Read more

This foundation has been used by myself for many years although I use the British version I'm sure its the same formula. When first applying this foundation it glides on amazingly with a brush and beauty blender. I use the Smashbox primer oil underneath as my skin is fairly dry. Using and not using a base, powder or setting spray for this foundation in my opinion can make a big difference so …Read more

This has become my favourite foundation. It is less than half the cost of one Make Up Forever Mat + Velvet foundation and I find it to be lightweight yet full coverage. Though it isn't super mattifying for my oily skin, I still love how it wears. It is the best performing drug store brand and feels like a high quality product. The shade selection is very good. Other foundations melt off in …Read more

This product has really good staying power. The coverage when i used half a pump is really good but considering i dont have scarring i cant tell whether its really full coverage. I have rather normal skin so I cant really tell if it lasts long on combination to oily skin. For reference I am a true olive/ olive beige with little to no yellow tones on my skin and im light skinned. I bought it in …Read more

This stuff is so great! I have the formula made for dry skin and this works really really well at covering and lasting all day. It has a pump now so no problems at all with the packaging. The shade 150 works well for my winter fair neutral skin. If you're even more fair than I, there are actually shades above this which is incredible - I'm always the lightest!

I also love …Read more
