Revlon ColorStay Makeup For Normal/Dry Skin, 29 Jan. 2015

Wow! Apologies for the superlative I just used, but this is indeed a fantastic product and no, it's not because I was given a freebie to review. I've used Revlon ColorStay foundations before and found them to provide excellent coverage without streaks or stripes. I usually use a Superdrug MUA complexion base most days because it's really easy to use and doesn't take too long to apply in the morning when I'm half-asleep, but I'm going to be using this product until the bottle runs out(!) I normally find matching a foundation shade to my light/medium skintone really difficult and didn't use liquid foundations for years because of this reason, but I was given the '150 Buff Chamois' shade (which probably equates to a buff goat in English?') and it's a perfect match for my winter skin tone. I also have normal/dry skin with a slight tendency for oiliness around the T-Zone and I sport a couple of spots during certain times of the month.

I applied it to my face in three...

NOT HAPPY!!!, 29 Mar. 2015

This is my Usual go to Foundation, The Coverage is Amazing and You Don't

Have to Keep Reapplying,- Unlike The Loreal Infallible I Was Using For a Few Years Before I Found This.-

I Suffer With Acne/Scaring and it Blends and Evens Things Out Brilliantly,

Yeah, Well Normally it Does......

I Have a Problem, This Product I Purchased is Completely Different to How it Usually is,

it's Really Runny/Watery in Consistency and Goes on The Skin so Wet and Greasy, it's Gross, and Looks Gross!

I've Been Using This Revlon Product For Over 3 Years Now And I've Never Had a Bottle Like This!

it Has Also a Strange Horrible Smell to it!

The Advertisement Here States it is The 24hr Coverage Product, Which is a Lie.

It Actually Says 16hrs Coverage on The Bottle.

I Purchased 2 of These Whilst I Still Had Some in my Current (Genuine) Bottle.

The Labels Are Totally Different to The One I Already Have.

Upon Futher Inspection I See...

Long lasting, 25 Jan. 2015

This review is for the shade 150 'Buff'. It's an oil-free formula. Its strength lies in its staying power. If this is important to you this may be a good choice. It's good on normal skin but it might not be so great on very dry or mature skin.

Pros:

This foundation applies nicely, whether you use your fingertips or a sponge, and blends in easily.

You get a nice big bottle of 30 mL.

It offers sun factor protection of 20, which is excellent.

It's long-lasting and doesn't wear or rub off easily once it is dry. It passed the pulling of a'white polo neck jumper' test very impressively. Indeed, the sample I put on my forearm did not wash off in the shower. (2nd pic shows after scrubbing it off in the shower!)

Buff is an excellent shade for those with a pale complexion.

It's nice and light - it doesn't feel heavy and doesn't give that horrible pancake look.

Cons:

This colour shade 'Buff' is very pale - it is essentially...
