Pros:

-Flawless and not-thick-looking coverage (I apply with clean fingers)
-All day wear
-Mostly sweatproof
-Matches my super light skin tone yet covers redness

Cons:

More expensive than other drugstore brands, but still cheaper than most designer lines!

GREAT product, my sister has severe acne and much oilier skin than I do and it works well for her too! I use this under BareMinerals Matte for a super-flawless look (one foundation is never going to cover everything evenly when you have extremely light skin like I do).

Pros:

-Long lasting (24 hours)
-Does not clog skin
-If used right, it won't kit
-Amazing coverage
-Great for all skin shades

Cons:

- You need to take off with make up remover or a strong facial wash
-Must apply with a makeup brush for it to look best so don't use a sponge.

I am a Professional makeup artist for MAC. And I prefer this over Mac cosmetics any day. It is worth the 14 dollars. USE A MAKE UP BRUSH TO PUT IT ON! Do not use a sponge. Sponges soak up all of the liquid make up. I have dark skin and works amazing for me. It is one of my favorite foundations of all time. You will clog up from this make up if YOU GET THE COMBINATION/OILy bottle. Seriously try it. You wont be disappointed.

Pros:

Good coverage
Long-lasting
Does not worsen acne
Good colour selection

Cons:

No-pump bottle wastes product
Does not control oil

I have tried nearly every foundation out there, and this is my favourite. I don't think I could ever buy another product now. I used to use DiorSkin Forever (which I recommend if you have the budget for it), but it was too expensive and the coverage wasn't enough for my acne scarred skin. I tried this just over a year ago on a whim and was immediately extremely happy with it. It isn't perfect (as I still have to use a powder to control oil), but I've accepted that there's no such thing as a flawless product. I highly recommend Revlon ColorStay Foundation.

Pros:

Great full coverage
Does not rub off
Natural look
Many compliments received
I can wear this all day long, stays on great

Cons:

Weird smell
Does not make me breakout
Not that good color selection
Some shades are too red or orange (so I am used to mix them to get a perfect tone)
Difficult to remove it

I have been using this for about 9 years or more. I love it - it does not break me out as many many other foundations do. I mix a lighter shade with darker to get a perfect tone for my skin as many of Revlon shades are too orange. This foundation is the only one that stays on naturally looking and does not come off at the end of day, it doe snot became oily looking and my face is not shiny. I love it, will continue using this. Its expensive in Canada - $22.00 but in US I got this only for $6 (half price off).

Pros:

- Great Coverage
- Buff perfectly matches my pale skin with yellow undertones.
- Applies easily with wet sponge
- Finally found a foundation that has everything I'm looking for.

Cons:

- Haven't had a break out yet, but I'm worried I might eventually based on others experiences.
- Hard to blend if you dont use the wet sponge application.
- Gets too oily if I apply my sunscreen immediately before
- Bottle is terrible for Bacteria

This is a great foundation for heavy coverage for scars. I havent had a bad experience with it yet, but I do wonder if it will happen eventually. If you apply it with a damp sponge and use a stippling motion the coverage is easy to concentrate in areas. Over-all I love this foundation, my acne is finally clearing up on retin-a and now my texture is getting back to normal but I needed something wth heavy coverage to colour my hyper pigmentation and scars since Im so pale they tend to show VERY dark. This method has worked well for me. Overall very happy!! My solution to the bottle problem is that I emptied out a covergirl trublend bottle with pump and poured my clour stay into the clean bottle so now it is air tight ( to prevent oxidation and has a convenient pump! Problem solved.

Pros:

Fantastic coverage - however some acne scars may benefit with use of concealer
No shine!
Long lasting

Cons:

Limited colours to choose from
You may breakout if you don't wash it all off - its difficult to get off, i'd recommend cleanser and a good toner after (biore - astringent works great)

GET IT! - very worth it :-)

Pros:

Available everywhere!
Cheap!
Great Coverage
Stays put, no transfer onto your clothes
Matte Finish controls shine

Cons:

Smells like latex paint...buy hey, it covers like it too, so I can live with that!

It's hard to get off, so you'll need to use a tissue with jojoba oil prior to washing.

I discovered this one day when I was brousing UTube videos for Marlena, the Makeup Geek. She was raving about this stuff. I used the Foundation Matrix by Temptalia to find my shade. I use both 180 Sand Beige and 200 Nude. Marlena says the key to this is to use a primer to help the stuff glide on. She recommends Monistat Anti-chafing Gel (that's kinda weird). It is good, reminds me of the Makeup Artist's Choice Velvet Veil, but way cheaper. If I am going to be outside a lot that day, I use the Oil of Olay Dan recommends, but the foundation doesn't glide as well, and I get really oily later. I apply with Everyday Minerals Flat-Top Brush, set with a tiny amount of Makeup Artists Choice Waterproof Setting Powder and finish with a setting spray. I am happy with the results, but remember technique is very important with this stuff!
