Most Helpful Positive Review Best Medium Coverage Foundation for the Money! I absolutely adore this foundation. The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is because there are other products out there at this price point that are actually full coverage. This one is more of a medium coverage foundation and that is not a bad thing at all. It lays nice on the skin and once it is dry, it gives a nice matte look to the skin without crease lines. I did find that the best application method that works for me is with my bare clean hands. I tried a beauty blender, a foundation brush and an Artis Brush, all of which gave the foundation a streaky look or swiped the product right off my face. Using the tips of my fingers, I only needed one or two pumps and basically just applied it like a moisturizer all over and let it sit to dry. Speaking of drying, I think this is a big step that most people fail to take and decide too soon that it is greasy or oily. It is still a liquid foundation so give it a few minutes to settle and dry to see the actual color and texture. I use this everyday and I have very naturally oily skin. I have noticed that the foundation does seem to control the oil a bit more than usual. Bonus, there is an SPF 15 in the product! So many of us either forget or ignore applying SPF to our faces daily so this is an awesome feature for me. There is a very wide selection of colors to choose from as well. However, it would be nice if they could come out with some more cooler shades. I currently use the shade True Beige and once it dries and settles, it blends well with my medium skin tone. As far as rub off...of course it rubs off a little. Honestly, they're aren't many foundations under $10 that don't have some sort of rub off throughout the day. Overall, I am very happy I decided to give this foundation a try and recommend it to anyone with oily-medium skin looking for a light weight medium coverage foundation.
Most Helpful Critical Review Is this the same shade and formula? I?m Brazilian and normally I buy the Revlon Colorstay here in my country that is imported by a national company; I use this foundation by 3 years or more, and it was always perfect to my skin that is oily, and I love that I found the perfect shade for me (320 - true beige), but the last one that I buy came in a different shade that supposed to be and a little bit more liquid than I remembered it was... So I guess the formula has changed, but without any advice to the costumers. I?m feeling very disappointed by my favorite brand in makeup just change the product without any announcement...

I have used this foundation for YEARS. I would try other foundations both drugstore and high-end and would ALWAYS come back to this product. I don't know what happened but recently I've been having trouble blending my foundation & concealer. Ive tried different primers, different setting powders, different concealers, different setting sprays (because there was no way possible it could be my tried and true forever foundation). Sadly, it turns out it was this foundation. It would sit on top, look streaky, and eventually dry in patches around my nose and especially around my hairline/eyebrows. So disappointed..

This is the ONLY foundation that works on my oily skin. I've been using it for years and nothing else I've tried compares. This foundation stays on all day and even stays on while swimming. It has never made me break out and doesn't separate on my face. It stays in place all day. Couldn't recommend this foundation enough.
Will no longer be purchasing 2
Mace from Salisbury
Bought this product quite a few times as I seemed to run out quickly when using this everyday. It was okay coverage but definitely separated after a few hours on my T-zone. After getting cystic acne, I went on CosDNA and found this was the reason...the ingredients in this are not acne-friendly!

Marie from US
I wanted to like this and actually did for awhile because the coverage was amazing and didn't feel cakey. I started breaking out a little and it covered it up and I thought "wow this is great no other foundation I've used has covered my breakouts like this" but this foundation was causing me to break out. I didn't realize until it was bad and I mean cystic acne bad. I have scars on both of my cheeks now. I've used the tube version of this and it doesn't break me out so I thought this would be good too but it isn't. I'm so disappointed and wish I never used it.
One of the best!! 5

I have oily skin and this foundation is one of my favorites!! It will actually stay in place and not melt off my face in a few hours and a little bit goes a long way. Will definitely buy again and again!!
Flakey 2
Louisey from Alaska
I bought this but didn't really use it for the SPF, just for a normal foundation. I put it on using a beauty blender but it made my skin look flakey even though I moisturize often. Not for me, but maybe someone else
Made me breakout 1
Jbella from Windermere, FL
Sadly I'm in the same boat with those who are breaking out after using this foundation. We're talking cystic painful acne too. And now my face is horribly dry as well. It's too bad because I really liked the finish, staying powder, and way it looked on my skin.
THE BEST 5
Paige from Georgia
I have always used Estèe Lauder foundation and powder, but I honestly think that this is a dupe for it. I pair this foundation with the Colorstay powder for oily skin, and my makeup is flawless. My makeup looks the same at the end of the day as it did when I put it on that morning. I highly recommend this, ESPECIALLY since it is less expensive and looks just as good if not better than other high end products.
BEST FOUNDATION! 5
Jazzy from California
This is an amazing product with great coverage! It lasts all day, even in the rain and sometimes water. I have dry skin but this product does not cake. Be sure to use with a light amount because a little goes a long way.
Best thing ever for oily skin! 5
Indigoblu from St Paul, MN
I have been using this product for many years for my very very oily acne prone skin and it is the best foundation- drug store OR high end - that works the longest. Also excellent color match for my neutral dark skin
Possibly caused break outs 2
TC from New York
I saw a ton of good reviews for this product for many years and was running low on my current foundation, so I finally decided to try this. It went on nicely and the coverage was fine but I noticed the next day a huge breakout on my cheek, which has never happened before when using other foundations. Prior to this I haven't worn any type of makeup for weeks and wore ONLY foundation the day before, so I don't think it could've been anything else. Weird.
Simply the best 5

Clarissa from .
I love this foundation! It's affordable and it wears all day!! I've been using this for about 5 years, every now and then I like to buy other brands but I always go back to this one! For sure the best drug store foundations out there.

LOVE IT 5
Devlin from NorCal
I hope they never get rid of this. This is the ONLY foundation that doesn't let all the oil come through and actually stays on. I get a little, which is to be expected, but not much. This is better than ANY high-end foundation I've ever bought, and will continue to buy it.
Favorite foundation ever 5
Lexibrooke1 from DE
I've tried soooo many foundations in my makeup-wearing years, and I always go back to this one. I'm very pale and it's hard to find a shade that's both light enough and matches my warmer/neutral undertones. Buff is a perfect match. I have combination/oily skin and this stuff lasts all day. I prefer a natural no-makeup look and I can't even tell I'm wearing foundation with this. It feels lightweight and doesn't get greasy by the end of the day. It evens out my skin tone without looking heavy or cakey. The pump is also a bonus. I hope Revlon never stops making this.

I have used this product and shade for many years. I consider it one of the best. The foundation wears well and is easy to remove with a cleanser.
Drug store price, High end results 5
Sarah from Massachusetts
I recently ran out of My tried & true fav, (Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation) and found this in the back of one of my makeup draws.
What a wonderful surprise! I have been wearing this foundation, exclusively now for 4 weeks. Revlon Colorstay wears so well on my mostly oily/ combination skin. This make up actually stays put & still looks great at the end of the day...Even with a mask on! I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a high end foundation that covers up (pretty much everything) at a drugstore price.
way better than i expected 5
LB from nashville, TN
I bought this because I'd seen so many people on YouTube wearing it and loving it. It far surpassed my expectations. My skin will always get oily a couple hours into makeup. But not with this stuff. 8-10 hours later, it looked like I'd just applied it.
WAY better than the L'oreal infallible 24hr foundation.

I've used this foundation for YEARS. I'm 45+ years old and have always battled oily skin. This foundation works best for me and I live in Georgia where the summers are miserably hot and grossly humid. It doesn't cake and it stays in place literally all day, even after being outside. The numerous color choices makes it easy to match your skin tone. Paired with L'Oreal Infallible 24 hour waterproof concealer, you will achieve a truly flawless and matte finish all day.
I LOVE Revlon Colorstay 5
I Love Makeup from North GA
I have used Revlon Colorstay foundation for YEARS. It is my all time favorite. I live in Georgia, where the summers are miserably hot and grossly humid and this makeup does not budge. It is sweat proof and humidity proof. The oily/combo one is great because it doesn't make you break out if you are acne-proned with oily skin. I can't say enough good things about this foundation!
