Revlon ColorStay Full Cover Foundation Review

I went out and purchased this foundation as i was in desperately needing a new foundation as i was starting work the next day. The bottle is super cute and easy to squeeze out . How ever when i was needing my shade they never had it . So they had a special buy 2 for $60 i got a lighter shade and the darker one up from the colour i used . This was fine i managed to match myself with mixing the two shades . It is very easy to put on but its so creamy that if you wipe it with a beauty blender rather then dab it literally wipes straight off your face. The coverage is great but really really heavy. I now only use this if i really have to .

I was persuaded to try this product when the shade I wanted in the Candid foundation wasn't available at that moment. Even though I use little concealer on my aged skin I was a little dubious about the name Full Cover - recalling gloopy heavy products from my youth. However I have to admit that it feels nice and light though I am not sure that it lasts any longer than any other products I have used. I like the fact that it is packaged in a tube - easier to carry and also easier to access all the product to the last squeeze. However, unlike my preferred Candid it does not have a pump top so the amount used depends on how hard I happen to squeeze - sometimes that is too much.

Blendable coverage without caking and a nice smooth finish. For a full cover I was expecting a really greasy, heavy finish but to my surprise this offered a really lightweight full coverage and I found it to have great skin tone evening properties. Easily applied with a brush without streaking and goes on nicely with a beauty blender or silicon pad. Coverage last for quite a while also which is a bonus. I brought one in a dark and one in light to match my skin colour as one just never seems to fit the bill with changing skin colours and its really nice to mix together which I found a huge bonus. Packaging is a nice squeezable tube and because it remains standing there is no need to try and get the last drops out of a bottle!

I generally avoid 'full cover' foundations, as they tend to cake by being so heavy.

I had an event that was being photographed and needed a full coverage, so I read reviews and chose this one - I wasn't disappointed!

I colour matched in store and was pleasantly surprised by how easily this blended out to my decolletage. There were no obvious tide lines.

I used a beauty sponge / blender to apply this and it went on smoothly and easily.

It lasted all day without sinking into the wrinkles.

I will use this more often than I thought due to the smooth finish and lightness on the skin.

A great Beauty Review find!

I didnt like this. It felt quite sticky and i wasnt a fan. Yes it gave coberage but not enough for my liking. I wouldn't recommend unless you habe great skin!

I picked this up at a makeup sale for $12 - I read a few online reviews first that suggested the colourings didn’t quite match the normal ColorStay Range, so I went for a lighter one (I usually use 200 Nude, but chose this product in 150 Buff). The colour is almost identical to my usual product, so I’m pleased I chose a lighter shade.

I didn’t expect the lighter weight of this foundation compared to my regular ColorStay product - it’s almost mousse-like, very lightweight feel to it - totally unlike the ColorStay foundation I usually use, which is runnier. It goes on smoothly, evenly and gives a reasonable coverage (I prefer a full coverage, which is the main reason I gave this product a go).

It wore reasonably well, however I wouldn’t say as well as my usual foundation. I didn’t think it gave a full coverage, but I didn’t want to lay it on too thick, not knowing how my oily skin would react to it. It did nothing for oil control of my skin, and for me, is probably better suited when I don’t need to wear foundation all day long).

I do like the convenience of the tube packaging, smaller and lighter weight than the bottle, so will probably keep one of these in my makeup bag for trips away / touch ups. If I was on a tighter budget, it would definitely be my go to everyday use foundation.

Honestly this would be the best most easy to use foundation ever. It definitely delivers full coverage hiding all my imperfections completely.

I decided to give this a go after hearing the rave reviews from people that trialed it.

The foundation has an almost mousse-like quality to it that I wasn't expecting, but otherwise is like any normal foundation.

In terms of longevity, it didn't perform as well as I expected, but did still provide a full coverage (maybe for 6 hours max).

The packaging was the tube packaging that I quite like and the foundation didn't appear to have the same chemical nasties as its other ColorStay counterpart.

But I wasn't wowed.
