Revlon Colorstay 24 hr Whipped Creme Foundation Review

Hey galz,

For a perfect look we use makeup and to make your makeup look best we need a very good base.

Me being oily and acne prone  always had the problem of foundation melting , looking supa oily and hiving a very cakey look.

Have been looking for a good foundation for ever.

A month back I was on YouTube and noticed people raving about Revlon color stay foundation for oily skin.

Had no hope from it ( have bought so many products with high hope but they dint work at all)but thought whats the harm in giving it a short. But as my destiny is too good , when I got out to buy it got to know that its discontinued.. :(

Sales girl told me that whipped formula is even better and as usual I got influenced and bought.

I must tell you that this is one of the best makeup decisions I made.

The jars look very classy but wish it had a pump 

Although the shade I got was not matching( I do this mistake all time), but then got a darken shade to mix and use.

I generally like to mix light and dark shades of the foundation to get my exact colour.( I am weird & crazy)

The two colours I have are Natural Ochre( Light shade available) and Natural Tan (Darkest shades available). The two extreme colours allow me to make any colour I want,so I don't have to buy separate foundation for when I get tanned. 

I like to mix these two colours to get my exact shade

Coming back to the product Revlon colour stay wipped , it available in this very classy looking glass jar of 23.7 ml for 800 INR.

I tried to apply it with brush and also with hands.  According to me the best way to apply it is with your hands as it warms up the product and helps spread it evenly and better.

Its consistency is quite thick. When you first dip your finger in it you will feel that it wound spread but its blends very easily.

Pros:

1) Does not look cakey.

2) Very good for oily skin .

3) Does not break me out.

4) Does not melt or anything . I applied it around 11 a.m and was in sun all day. When came back un the evening it looked exact the same ,no melting no oiliness.

5) Little is more. You just need a very small amount and you are done.

6) I tried it without setting it with a powder on a cooler day and it still didn't melt at all. So in winter no need for face powder.

7) Can be used for sheer,medium and full coverage.

8) Covers most if my acne scars.( Sometimes I use it without consealer)

9) Has shelf life of 3 years. Isn't  it great.

10) It is waterproof. I went in rain with this on.

11) The product is easily available. 

Cons:

1) Dries fast . So I apply it in small portions and spread fast.

2) Its just available in 3 shades in India.  So to match exactly is very difficult. ( I bought 2 shades and mix them)

3) Really wish it had a pump . Its quit costly for a drugstore foundation so I definitely expect a pump. Its much more hygienic.

This is how it looks after spending 4-5 hrs in sun..

According to me its one of the best foundations for super oily , oily and normal skin people.

Dry skin people must moisturise well before applying it.

It is so true to its name . The colour really stays. :)

Rating: 4.5
