Revlon : Colorstay

I'm an NC35-37 in MAC when I use this foundation in Natural Tan. Its an average color match, I have a very yellow undertone and the Revlon is more neutral. Doesnt make me break out, has a medium coverage but can be layered to be full coverage. Can be cakey but you need to know how to apply it. I used a wet sponge for lighter coverage and a RT brush for a heavier application. The smell bothers me a lot but I suck it up because the OIly/Combo controls my oily skin for around 2 hours before my oils breaking through and my foundation usually gets oily after an hour. Wish it came with a pump but its a good foundation for a good price, and you can always use coupons and such. My blush and bronzer lasts all day with this foundation. Try it if you want to try a medium-full coverage cheap foundation. This does break out some of my friends, but luckily my sensitive skin takes it very very well. (: I do wish the color selection was better :( Natural Tan would be my perfect NC35-37 shade if it wasn't so neutral. And Golden Caramel is like NC42-45 and I have another foundation for when I get that color :/ I think Revlon caters a lot to pink/cool skin tones which is a downside.

I brought this foundation about a month ago now after hearing that it was great for covering pimples, ect. Unfortunately this foundation almost lies on top of my skin and I feel as though it'll rub off. Sure enough after about 2 hours you can see my acne again and I look awful and patchy. I think it might just not agree with my skin type but I honestly think this foundation isn't the best for acne prone skin. I also found after buying it and using it I have broken out the worst I ever have. I can't promise it is the foundation that did it but I can't seem to find any other reason for my brake out.

I used to use this product when i was at school but later discovered the joys of estee lauder double wear, which basically delivers what colourstay fails to - long lasting matte coverage. If i was broke colourstay is not a bad back up though. Just have to refresh it often.

This would have been perfect if it didn't break me out so badly... If you have acne-prone skin, stay away!! I thought I had found my HG foundation because the whole finish was just so nice. It didn't sink into my pores and coverage was great. On the 3rd day of using this, my skin freaked out. I broke out all over my face which took so long to finally clear up. I was hoping to just cover the acne scars I had left on my face but this just got me back to square one. I put it under my eyes for concealing and I even broke out in tiny red pimples under there as well. So cheaply made... no foundation has ever broken me out so bad. So disappointed and angry... ughh.

i found out about this product from these review and it was the best makeup i have ever used! if u have scars this thing is for you! it covers everything! I would still be using it but after almost a year of use, and almost accomplishing clear skin, it gave me cystic acne :( however this may not effect others so would recommend to those looking for coverage.

I did a lot of research and testing on store brand foundations REVLON 24 COLOR STAY for Combination/Oily Skin about (9-10 bucks) is far the best store brand I have found . It has GREAT coverage and its very comparable to MAC Studio Fix Fluid foundations (27-30 bucks) FOR ACNE skin I recommend Neutrogena blemish control foundation or Clinique acne solutions liquid make up

I use this everyday because I have scarring on my right cheek and other places. If used with concealer, your skin will be flawless. I don't think it's heavy if you use the right primer and apply it right. I use my finger, (after I wash my hands of course!) and put a thin layer all over. Then, I go in and add more foundation to spots that need it. The smell is weird, but it'll go away after a few minutes. It really does last all day. I use the normal/dry skin version and it makes me look hydrated and not gross and flaky.

I have searched for a product that works this well, I feel like i have tried everything while spending a small fortune. This stuff is the real deal, I highly recommend it.

Great for spots!

I wouldn't use it again. Although it's great coverage, it's almost impossible to wash off with "gentle" cleansers, when you sweat it's almost like the sweat doesn't get out. It's almost like stage makeup, and seemed to plug every pore I have.
