Comments:

I was in a rush when I bought this foundation and was surprised that I actually got the right color to match my skin. I've been using it for about a week now and it has AMAZING coverage! I use a beauty blender to apply the foundation, sometimes I don't even have to use a moisturizer. Yesterday I went to an amusement park with my good friend and it was super hot, although i did sweat a bit the foundation still looked pretty decent. You do need to set it with a powder or else you will get oily faster, but other than that i will continue to buy this product.

I absolutely love this foundation! It stays on even through the heat. I used it to six flags in Valencia, CA. It lasted all day and even though I got a little sweaty the coverage never went away! I absolutely love this product. I recommend it to anyone with oily skin. I found it easiest to blend with a beauty blender or flat or round top kabuki brush.

Comments:

I have struggled with hormonal cystic acne since I was 14. My terrible skin is why I became an esthetician/makeup artist. Being someone who cannot take hormonal replacement therapy or antibiotic drugs to treat my breakouts, I've had to turn solely to topical products to help me. I have tried multiple foundations over the years, but this one is my tried and true. It controls my oil levels, gives the fullest coverage I've ever had, and doesn't break me out like other foundations have. Only complaint about this is that I wish their SPF level was higher than just 6.

I have oily skin and have always been afraid of full coverage. I saw this recommended on a blog, so I thought I'd give it a try. I absolutely love it!! It goes on smooth and blends easily. I don't think it feels heavy and it gives full coverage. I like how it gives a subtle dewy look and not cakey. I would highly recommend this foundation!!!

Comments:

I have been experimenting with foundations to find the right coverage for my adult acne and oily skin. I've tried Makeup Forever Velvet Matte (good, but expensive and heavy), Studio Gear Matte (okay coverage, but get oily after a few hours), Bareminerals Matte foundation powder (poor coverage), and read a review about this product so I gave it a try. I've been using it for a week now, and I can't believe the quality for the price. I would definitely give it a shot. There's so many colors to choose from, so you're likely to find the right shade. This product holds up to my very oily skin...literally all day long without having to blot...miracle!!

Comments:

Revlon Colorstay surpasses most high end department store foundations. I'm 50 years old, and need a foundation that doesn't settle into my face lines and gives me natural coverage over blemishes, redness, and age spots. I dip a q-tip in the bottle to remove a small amount of foundation. I put it on the back of my hand, sometimes blending two shades. Then I work quickly to apply a thin layer of foundation using a damp foundation brush. In my experience, using a good damp foundation brush and using a very small amount of foundation will give the best results. Finger application or make-up sponge application looked too heavy. The foundation brush was a great investment and made all the difference. This foundation sets quickly, so work fast, and blend. You can then go back and add another thin layer, or just build up the coverage where needed using a damp concealer brush. Set with powder and forget about it. This is not ready to slide off my nose and chin by the end of the day. A big challenge for me, always, is getting a good skin tone match. I'm very fair in the winter, but brown up quickly and darkly in the summer. With the affordable price, I'm not hesitant to buy several shades. A good color match & applying lightly will result in a great look.

Normally after 4 hours or so my nose is oily. This is day one for me trying this product. I did use a moisturizer and a foundation primer before applying. But little to no oil on my nose I love love love this foundation. I want to see what the heat does to this make up.

This is the best foundation you will ever own. You can sheer it out with primer or moisturizer for light coverage, or apply two coats for super heavy duty coverage. You can use it as concealer. It will not oxidize and change color on oily/combination skin. It will not break you out. It will last ALL DAY. This is better than any high end foundation I own, absolutely love it.

Another recommended budget product for oily skin, especially if adult acne is an issue. I cannot believe the color I bought on the first try was a perfect match! It is not heavy or oily and at this price, I can rest my wallet and my skin from MAC!

I will never by high end foundation again. This product provides as much coverage as you want (light to medium depending how much you layer) and stays on ALL day. It was a little tricky for me to find just the right shade at first, but I'm not going to complain. How many other foundations come in such a wide range of colors? Add that to the pro list.

I've been using this for a few years now and haven't felt the need to stray. The trick to getting the best coverage is to use a brush to apply. It goes on very easily with even coverage and lasts all day.
