ColorStay Foundation For Normal/Dry Skin
Reviews
Not sure how to put this lightly, but I'll never use this product on a client or myself ever again. I truly tried to fall in love with it. I mixed it with illuminating drops, white mixer, etc. to attempt to get it right. Something about the formulation allows your skin to suck the color right up. It doesn't sit / melt gracefully on the skin, it sinks down into your pores. No matter how much you try to build that coverage, it just keeps getting worse. Not to mention, it oxidizes before I'm even done with my routine. It's just plain depressing.
Love this foundation!
My skin typically gets really oily when it's super hot and my skin gets dry when it's cold. My first time trying out this foundation, so I decided to get the normal to dry skin since it's almost winter. This foundation is great. Makes my skin look flawless, stays put all day long, and you don't really need to set the foundation with powder. The only reason I didn't give five stars is that it had pink tones to it, and I have an olive/yellow skin tone. In a review I read that the normal to dry foundation has pink tones and the oily to combo foundation has yellow tones. I didn't really take that into consideration when I bought the foundation, but now I wish I did. My face looks a little too pink when I wear it, but I mix it with my Urban decay naked foundation so my face doesn't look too pink. Other than that I love this foundation. Maybe I'll try the oily to combo foundation next.
Awesome!
I'm in love with this foundation! I'm in shade 110 Ivory, which is slightly pinkier than my skin, but it's not that bad. I have the normal/dry skin formula and it's amazing. 1. Applies beautifully - I do prefer to apply this with my fingers, as I find it gives me the most natural results. But I've applied this with a sponge (both a normal one and a beauty blender) and a fluffy foundation brush and it applies very easily and it blends without too much work. You do need to work in small sections, especially with a sponge or brush, because it dries fast. 2. Stays on like a dream - it is definitely a long lasting foundation. I've worn this on a day when I applied it at 4am and took it off at 11pm and it was 95% intact and looking good. It is water resistant, I've worn it with no worried on rainy days and it stayed put. 3. It offers any kind of coverage you want - it can be sheered out to give a very subtle coverage, just to even out the skin tone, and it can be applied to give full coverage, if you need it. It is buildable and I don't find it to look cakey. You might want to avoid applying too many layers on areas where you don't need them, especially if you have very dry skin. It is pretty difficult to get off your makeup brushes, though. Be aware of that. Since it is quite water resistand, you need extra measures to clean it off. I find that the sponge is easier to clean, just with plain old soap.
I really like this foundation , it goes on really well however when I apply a powder over the top I think it looks strange. It's easy to buy as its from the drugstore. It covers really well so if you have bad skin then it's great coverage. I'm still waiting for that perfect foundation because this may be good but I'm sure there must be a better one
Best Makeup
I've been wearing this makeup for like 6 years now and I absolutely love it! I like to try new things and I always go back to this makeup! It doesn't make me break out, it looks great in the day and night. Great coverage, stays on all day, goes great with the revlon colorstay powder. It doesn't look cakey or oily.
don't get the hype
I really don't understand why everyone loves this so much. I've bought it about 3 or 4 different times, thinking that maybe it was the way I was applying or something, but it wasn't. It just sucks. Too thick. Hard to blend. Doesn't have great coverage. Not blendable. This will not get another chance for me.
I use this in the 110 Ivory shade for normal/dry skin and I am finally satisfied HALLELUJAH!! For YEARS I have tried everything from Cover Girl to Maybelline to Almay to Clinique to Mac to Neutrogena and have always been disappointed time and time again. But now that I've found this product, my search is over. I love how it does not clog my pores or break me out. This has a light enough texture to let my skin breathe, all while doing an amazing job at covering my imperfections. And I'm super impressed with the staying power. Please please, Revlon I beg you to never discontinue this foundation. I'm a customer for life!
This is my everyday go to foundation, the color is perfect, it lasts for about 12+ hours on my skin, all i do is moistiurze before i apply it and then it stays, the price is a little high for drugstore foundation but i guess revlon seems to be at the high end of drugstore makeup, i apply this with a flat foundation brush, stippling brush, buffing brush, anything will work.
