First Maybelline debut their full coverage foundation last summer, then Covergirl and now Revlon. We have 3 major drugstore brands offering affordable and accessible full coverage foundation available through your local retailers such as Wal-Mart and Target. 

Revlon is a brand I absolutely love. Some of my friends say it's for the "old" folks and I am not OLD. There have been a few of their products that I trashed but I love the formula used for the ColorStay brand. Since I haven't seen any commercials or many reviews from women of color on YouTube I had to test it out for myself. 

Here's the tea:

This foundation was originally the ColorStay Whipped Crème that was removed from store shelves and repackaged. The original formula was only available in a few shades. 

New Packaging

The foundation arrives in a 1 oz  tube and cost $9-$14 depending on where you buy it.

Color Ranges

The foundation comes in 16 shades with 2 darker shades. The darkest shade is 420 Mahogany. Do not confuse the color range with the original ColorStay foundation because the colors are slightly lighter. I wear 410 Cappuccino in the ColorStay and I choose the darkest share 420 which was perfect match.

Texture

The foundation is creamy, similar to a mousse which blends well, leaving a flawless polished look. I have a lot of acne scars and the foundation hides it very well and it's lightweight.

Tools

I applied the foundation using a stippling brush and a damp beauty blender.  Using both I notice the coverage was the same applies with either tool. 

24 hour wear

Honestly there is not a foundation, no matter the cost, that will provide a flawless look for 24 hours. I have oily skin and the foundation dries semi matte. After wearing for about 5 hours I did notice a little oil in the my t-zone. Using a blot paper helped to refresh the foundation as if it was just applied. I live in Georgia where it gets extremely hot this foundation performed better than I expected. Most foundation can melt off your face and this foundation didn't. That's win for me!

Is it worth cost?

Yes, if you looking for an everyday makeup for the office or school. I would definitely recommend you try it. 

Have your tried any Revlon products?
