Review: Revlon Colour Stay Foundation

Hey loves, so about two weeks ago I finally ran out of my Revlon Colour Stay Foundation for oily/combination skin in 110 ivory. Now as we all know, it is a cult favourite on Youtube and is said to be comparable to Makeup Forever's HD foundation. It comes in about 20 shades and is on the higher end of drug-store foundations. Just as a little back story on my skin, I have rosacea which causes rash like affects on my cheeks other than that I do not have problematic skin and do not deal with acne, it just can be a little oily at times.


Product Name: Revlon Colour Stay Makeup 
Price: $14.99-18.00 CAD 
        Initial Impression: The colour selection is great, with different undertones! It goes on very thick but has a nice consistency and is easy to blend.
Pro's: SPF 6, many colour options, packaging, no breakouts   
        Con's: too thick, dried out, very full coverage, hard to blend once dried out
Overall Impression: Although I liked the product I don't think it really was for me. Originally it was easily blend-able but after a couple of uses it seemed like the product dried out a bit making it harder to work with. I also found that it oxidized a tiny bit on my face, but not to the point where it was super noticeable. The price of it makes it seem like I should be getting something super high end where the reality is the cheaper less thick foundations do the job just as good for me. It has really great coverage though and only one my most oily spots I had problems with it not sticking for 8 hours. Although it says "up to 24 hours", just for the record I did use a setting powder. Overall it's a great product and would be ideal for someone whose looking for a full coverage foundation!

    Hey Carly, I was wondering what foundation you usually use. Are there any that are especially good for girls with rosacea? Thanks for sharing!

      Hello! :) Well as of right now, it's summer so my skin is darker than usual. Before summer started I was using Covergirl Continuous Wear foundation (I don't know if they still make this foundation BUT I'm pretty sure the new version of it is the clean makeup line by covergirl because I have used the covergirl clean foundation in the past and they seem very comparable) , it was a lot lighter of a formula which I liked more. As of right now though I am just using this powder to liquid foundation! If you'd like I can deffintly do a review on it. It's the Revlon Colorstay Aqua Mineral Makeup, but it's a powder that has a cooling sensation when you put it on your skin. As well as I am using covergirl and olay's simply age less for my under eye circles! Hope I helped :)
      peace&love
