Review | Revlon Colorstay Foundation

I am always trying out new foundations in the hope of finding one that ticks all the boxes- great coverage and lasting power at the top of my list for good foundations. I love to swap my foundation up on a regular basis anyway, so when I recently received £2 of this particular offering at Boots, I thought I would give it a little whirl.

 

I will start on a slightly negative note and say that the packaging is not ideal, as it doesn't have a pump. Now this doesn't have any effect on the product itself, yet it can make the process of getting the foundation out of the bottle messy, as well as wasteful. However, negatives aside, I absolutely love this foundation. I went for the shade 'Buff', which is the second palest shade I believe, and it suits my skin tone perfectly.

 

It is intended for those with oily/combination skin(there is a normal/dry version too), so doesn't add any extra shine or oil to the face. The coverage of this is also amazing, definitely medium-full coverage, that can easily be built up depending on how much coverage you need. I apply this with my Real Techniques Expert Face Brush on clean moisturised skin and I am good to go. The only slight downside is that it does require a bit of time and effort to buff it into the skin, but once applied it gives a beautiful, flawless finish.

I've also found that the staying power of this foundation is pretty good, lasting for most of the day with just one or two touch ups of powder throughout the day.

 

Overall, this is one of the best foundations I have tried for a long time as it just seems to suit my skin type and tone perfectly. I will definitely repurchase this foundation again as for a drugstore product, it really does an amazing job on giving a flawless finish to the skin.

 

Have you tried this foundation? What do you think of it?
