• "Really even and flawless coverage."

Cons:

• "This foundation can look cakey if you don't blend really well."
• "While I liked the feel and the look, it was not full coverage to my liking, even after multiple layers."

• "I find the coverage lasts a firm 12 hours of good coverage."

Cons:

• "By the end of the night, it may be started to wear off a tiny but on my nose."
• "The last 2 bottles have lasted between 4-5 weeks!"
• "While the makeup still technically is on your face the next day, the quality of the coverage itself doesn't last as long as it used to."
• "Now it is really runny and does not stay like it used to."
• "I still have to pad my face dry towards the end of my working day, but that's about 9 hours after I’ve put on the foundation."

• "I feel like the coverage is not as good as it used to be."

Skin Compatibility

Pros:

• "It kept my oil at bay all day long."
• "I found this foundation particularly effective for my combination skin as it isn't oily or greasy but doesn't dry out the skin either."
• "It is great for combination skin."
• "I have oily skin and this product really helps with that."
• "This foundation is great for oily/combination skin."
• "It’s moisturizing but still dries matte so it’s perfect for my combination skin."

Cons:

• "I broke out...not one or 2 little pimples either, 4 huge ones... The kind that sits on your face for a week, like a volcano that won't erupt."
• "If you have acne-prone skin, do not get this."
• "This ColorStay is very drying and enhances all minor wrinkles or crows feet you may have, at least it did on me."
• "This is not for dry skin."
• "I was excited to try this because it is made for my skin type, but it made me break out and the smell is so strong that it messed with my allergies."
• "I have had oily acne prone skin all my life and I've use powder foundations since my early 20's."
• "For some reason it fills my pores a bit on my chin."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "It didn't break the bank either, I think it was like maybe 8.49 at Target?"
• "I can't say enough about this stuff, especially for the price!"
• "Revlon Color Stay makeup is long lasting and still a very good value for the quality of product."
• "It is the prefect shade, great on my super oily skin and very affordable!"

• "Local store price is at least double sometimes triple what I pay here."
• "Definitely will keep purchasing!"

Cons:

• "I think this foundation is a little pricey for a drugstore makeup."
• "The IT CC+ costs more, but I understand why."
• "Being you cannot return it.. Do NOT BUY..."
• "This is the best foundation I have every had."
• "Total waste of money."
• "Do not buy this foundation, it is definitely not medium or as dark as presented in the picture.... this foundation is more of a light ivory, so white!"
• "THIS IS NOT REAL AND IF IT IS THEY POURED SOME OUT AND WATERED IT DOWN!"

Packaging

Pros:

• "I'm a big fan of the pump dispenser."
• "I especially like the fact that it dispenses from a pump rather than the old wide necked bottle which keeps the product fresher and uncontaminated."
• "Once you have poured out some foundation it is easy to apply with long-lasting results."
• "The pump is a great feature."
• "Now I have it on Auto ship, and no longer have to worry about running out!"
• "I swear by my foundation brush for all-over application."
• "Both work beautifully. The only thing is you have to work somewhat quickly to blend it all together because once it dries its not moving."

Cons:

• "Didn't see it immediately because as you can see, it's the bottom of the bottle that is broken."
• "Unfortunately my bottle recently had an issue where the pump became jammed in the cap and I can no longer remove the cap."
• "The only negative about Revlon Colorstay is the limited color selection."
• "The only reason, I did not give 5 stars is because there is no pump."
• "It is also very hard to get the product out of the bottle because it doesn't have a pump or anything."
• "The only complaints with the foundation are that it's a little tricky to get out of the bottle after a while."
• "The pump is probably the most annoying part, because there is so much unused foundation left in the bottle when it 'thinks' it's empty."

Shade Match

Pros:

• "The color is lighter than I expected."
• "I love this product but the shade was a tad bit too dark for me."
• "It’s hard for me to match my complexion with a foundation but this honey beige matched me perfectly as if it was made for me."
• "The color that I chose matches me so perfectly it almost looks like I have nothing on, just perfect skin."
• "Also, the shade range on this is incredible, I was able to find my exact skin tone by using the official shade guide."
• "I tested my shade on findation.com by putting in previous foundations I've used before and this shade fit me PERFECTLY."
• "The colour is accurate for my complexion and it evens out my skin tone well."
