Revlon Colorstay Oily/Combination Foundation - Review
Revlon finally made its way to Estonia and the Colorstay foundation has been pretty hyped. Since I've got combination skin right now and I would like the foundation to stay all day, this seemed perfect.
I got the lightest shade Ivory 110 and it was a perfect match for me (finally!!). The first time I applied it with Beautyblender, but that was a big mistake. It got patchy and brought out my skin's texture, didn't look natural at all. By skin's texture I mean that my uneven skin, flakes, acne scars, pores and a few pimples were more defined than without any make-up. Then I put on some powder, made it only worse. But at least it lasted pretty much the entire day on my face.
The second time I used my Real Techniques expert face brush and it blended so much better. But still brought out the texture, stuck to my dry patches and was really sticky. So I let it set for a while and then applied powder. Didn't make it better.
I am disappointed. As this is supposedly one of the best drugstore foundations, it didn't really work for me. It would probably look better when all my blemishes and dry patches are gone. There was less oiliness, but the sticky finish pretty much ruined it for me.
Pros
-long lasting
-many shades
-semi-matte/matte finish
Cons
-stuck to dry patches
-sticky
-emphasizes skin's texture
