ColorStay Full Cover Foundation

I have never used a primer before applying foundation. This was a new experience for me. I was little leary to how this goes hand & hand. Well to my suprise, the foundation stayed nicely on my skin, Not seeping into pores and not absorbing into my skin. It has a very light feeling, not weighing down my face. Feels like I have no foundation on with a very natural look. I have oily to dry skin depending on time of the day and when I did apply this, it was mid afternoon with oily skin & to my suprise once again, it doesn't look oily now and my skin feels refreshed. Also when I rub my skin, the applied foundation stays on. I will definitely be buying a primer/foundation set again. I highly recommend anyone to try this at least once in hopes you take away a great experience as I have. Thank you Revlon! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

The Revlon ColorStay Full Cover Foundation in the shade Buff offers me full-coverage for up to 24 hours, without caking, fading, or sweating off. It wears incredibly well on my longest, busiest days and is a great shade match. The formula blends in seamlessly with just my fingers, but also applies nicely with a brush or blender. It feels lightweight on my skin, allowing it to “breathe,” and has a slip to it, likely from the silicones it contains. The product label says it dries down to a matte finish, but I’d describe it as more of a satin finish, since there’s still the slightest hint of glow to it. I actually prefer a satin finish, because it appears the most “skin-like” and doesn’t exacerbate dry patches or oily-ness. The foundation washes off easily with cleanser and hasn’t irritated my skin, thus far. It even has salicylic acid to ward off potential blemishes or clogged pores! #sponsored « less

This foundation is neither matte, full coverage, nor is it long wearing. I honestly thought I must have bought the wrong product. The product is a mousse-like, fluffy formula that is very blendable. I will say that the application is easy and even, and the color is beautiful....but those are the only positives. This foundation does not set or dry down, whatsoever. I applied with a flat top foundation brush from It cosmetics. Even after setting it with mattifying powder, I still felt that it would wipe right off. On top of the wet feel, it never gave a matte finish like it claims. I wore this for two days (applied at 7 am, removed at 9 pm) and found that it never set. The product smudged and transferred onto my clothing unlike I'd ever experienced. Upon looking at the ingredients, I think that there is too much dimethicone (1st ingredient) causing it to have a slippery, silicone feel. Most foundations have aqua/water as 1st ingredient.I have very oily skin that is NOT acne prone (I don't suffer from breakouts at all). I don't need much coverage but I do need a matte finish. I use several skin care products to manage the oil, and SWEAR by Estée Lauder Double Wear and LOreal Infallible Pro-Matte. Those are TRUE longwearing and matte foundations that do not budge. Both set to an airbrushed powder finish and do not transfer/smudge whatsoever. This honestly felt like a thick BB cream. I felt like my face was melting all day, in December no less!!! I couldn't be more disappointed in this product. « less

The shade I purchased was a perfect match! It’s a medium to full coverage that doesn’t look cakey which is what I’ve been looking for! It’s also smooth, almost like a whipped formula, so it goes on amazing and looks natural. I finally found a perfect drugstore foundation!

The original colorstay whipped was one of my all time favorite foundations including both drugstore and high end. But unfortunately I could never find a perfect shade match and I hated the glass jar packaging (can't tell you how many times I've dropped the jar itself or the little plastic seal it came with). I'm so happy they revamped/repackaged this formula in a squeezy tube with more shades (still not a big enough variety but I've been able to find a better match for my light medium olive toned skin)! I don't know what it is, but the whipped formulation of this foundation just melts into my skin. Not streaky. Long lasting. Matte - natural matte throughout the day on my oily t-zone. I would say medium - full coverage. Feels very comfortable on the skin, like a moisturizer. But doesn't feel heavy or look cakey. Sad there isn't more positive reviews! Because I never want this foundation to be discontinued! And I hope they continue to expand their shade range! « less
