Revlon Colorstay foundation is a cult favourite. Readers of my blog have regularly suggested I give it a try but to be honest I'm not a massive fan of drugstore foundations. I just feel they never live up to my favourite high end ones. When Revlon contacted me asking me to review this foundation I jumped at the chance so I could see why you guys love it so much.
I got a couple of shades (110 & 150) as I wasn't sure which would be the perfect match for my skin tone. I wore both shades, as seen in the pictures below. The shade 110 matches me perfectly. The shade 150 I found wasn't too far off my skin tone when first applied but within 5 minutes had oxidised quite a lot and looked terrible. (See picture below). The foundation also comes in two formula's depending on your skin type. I chose the normal/dry one as I have extremely dry skin but there is also a Combi/Oily version.
The foundation has a light to medium coverage. It gives just enough coverage to even out my skin tone whilst still looking very natural. If you are someone who likes a full coverage foundation this certainly wont be for you. The foundation applies very Dewy which is exactly what I want in a foundation, but I found once dry it was extremely matte and my skin felt really dry. This is nothing a quick spray of Mac Fix + or something similar cant fix so not a huge problem.
The foundation lasted really well the days I wore it, the only place I found it faded throughout the day was my chin and nose area but this happens with most foundations I use.
Overall, I really enjoyed this foundation. I feel it is very comparable to my holy grain Giorgio Armani Luminous silk foundation. I will definitely be reaching for it often.
