Runny, changed formula. Don’t purchase – The formula has changed. Don’t waste your money. It’s very runny. Upon opening my new foundation I thought it was just the start bit being a little runny then it would thicken up but unfortunately not the case. Using 5 pumps of this water has barely got the coverage it used to have. Must be the added hyaluronic acid added. Not happy I now need to find a new foundation and just wasted money on this. Show details

Not what it used to be! – I've used Revlon since I was 13, I'm now 50 and I will never buy Revlon again anymore. Just junk products, quality isn't what it used to be. Show details

Now its runny!! – I have been using Revlon colorstay for over 20 years and I have loved it. However, they have changed their formula and now its runny and watery, it doesn't have the same coverage at all. So disappointed now looking for a new brand that does the job. Such a pity :( Show details

Formular need more work – I purchase this, they don't have a lot in the colour range I'm classed as porcelain rose not a lot of foundations out there has that But I thought I'll give this one a try. Even with excellent skincare and some protection underneath, it is still incredibly dry on the skin. Itid1878 s like your face, has been covered with a lot of talc powder. I… Read more

purchased one that says combination and oil skin. I have combination skin. But I think it's more designed for people with very oily skin. I do not have any wrinkles or dry patches on my skin. But this does look like it creates a lines and dry patches This product does not work for me so I will not repurchase it again

Don’t use this foundation – I have used Revlon Colourstay foundation for over 20 years. Not long ago they changed the formula. I had a severe allergic reaction to it. After a lot of money didn’t at Drs and skin specialists I can now say my skin has recovered. I now use Clinique. Slightly more expensive but worth it. My Mother started using Revlon Colour Stay several months… Read more

(unbeknownst to me) and had a very similar reaction. Scaly, flakey, red, burning skin. Do not use this product, especially if you have sensitive skin!!

Previously amazing, now rubbish – This has been the only foundation I've worn for the last 26 years. It used to have a matte finish, and would stay in place no matter how much I touched my face. My makeup looked as good at the end of the day as it did in the morning. Sadly they have recently changed the formula. No longer a matte finish and doesn't stay on at all. I come home from… Read more

work looking like I don't have any makeup on. So disappointing! Please bring back the old formula Revlon

Caused me to breakout – I've never used this foundation before and won't be using it again after this. I only wore it for two days and it broke me out so bad!!! I got shade Buff, and it has such a bad undertone to it, made me look really pale and sick looking. I wouldn't recommend this foundation. Show details

Crappy – This used to be perfect how ever I noticed they changed the formula and looked it up to confirm . It feels oily and greasy and my skin reacts to it by breaking out. Really disappointed as I’ve loved this product for years Show details

I'll always continue to purchase this foundation – Revlon never disspoints me, great coverage and nice formula that doesn't cause skin sensitivity or breakouts. They have two formulas in this range for oily skin and normal skin, both are very nice and have a nice finish and I would recommend using the formula right for your skin for best results. Show details

I have found the perfect foundation!! – Revlon Colorstay Foundation is the best foundation ever!!! I have tried most high end brands and Revlon Colorstay wins hands down. It feels comfortable on the skin, has great coverage and always looks good. I use the one for normal/dry skin. I dust with a light powder after application and have no need for touchups all day long. I have recommended this product to friends and they are also very happy!!! Show details

Great coverage! Nice forumla – Great coverage! Nice forumla. Natural looking. Feels nice on the skin. Doesn't move much through out the day. Maybe touch up once or twice. The only down side is my skin breaks out from this Foundation. Could be one of the ingredients Show details

Holy Grail for 9 Years – This is my all time favourite foundation. I have been using this foundation almost every day since I was 13 years old. I have dry skin but I use the combination/oily variant, as it works better on my skin. I have tried the dry variant but found it not suitable. The foundation lasts all day and I find it best to pair it with the photo ready compact… Read more

powder. It is easy to apply and provides full coverage. Highly recommend! You can usually buy it for around $17 in a half price sale.

Ok foundation. Not a fan of the fragrance – The coverage of this foundation is fairly good however I can't stand the floral fragrance of it. I get a headache everytime I wear it I also noticed my skin broke out when using it Show details

One of the best foundation – Great product. It's get on smoothly. The cream can be quite thick if you put second layer so make sure your skin been treated and moisturized will go well. I like it! Worth buying. No regreat. Show details

Love it – I have used many foundations, some very expensive and others cheap and I keep going back to Revlon Colourstay. Good coverage, does not block pores and stays in place all day with a setting spray.

Best drugstore foundation I've found – I've wasted quite a lot of money on expensive foundations such as MAC studio sculpt, Estee Lauder and Clinique. I can honestly say Revlon Colourstay for oily/ combination skin is the best. The formula has improved over the years and it's really easy to apply, doesn't stick to dry patches and lasts all day. Looks natural but my skin looks great.… Read more

Has SPF protection as well. I'm 45 and my skin had become oily around the T zone but this doesn't make me look like an oil slick by the end of the day. It's not a totally matte finish, more of a demi matte which I like since I'm older. It doesn't accentuate lines around my eyes either. Would highly recommend!

Amazing – The product stays even when you're sweating and doesn't get cakey, I can wear it to a party without worrying that it will come off at some point, love it! Highly recommend

coverage is what you pay for! – This foundation works just fine and what I love the most is its coverage. I have a few freckles and some acne marks in my face and this foundation covers them with ease. The foundation is not also drying which is great. One thing I find though is its color range. Although here in Australia they sell a great number of shades, I am still failing to… Read more

find the foundations that fits my skin 101%, the shade I found the closest is tad light for my skin tone and the next shade is too dark. I am trying to work it though, I always have setting powders and bronzers that are a little dark than the foundation itself

Foundation for combination skin is brilliant! – I’ve use the Revlon Photoready foundation and found it didn’t work well for me, then I bought the Colourstay in the Sand Beige colour for combination skin. I use it in conjunction with the pressed powder and honestly it’s amazing! I was running late for my training session after work a few days ago, I only had time to change into my workout gear… Read more

and go, so trained with a face full of make up! My trainer was in shock by the end of the session as my make up did move, there was a little sweat on the foundation, but the rest was flawless! Revlon Colourstay is my favourite!

It's Okay! – This foundation is okay. I wish there was more shades for all different tones. The coverage is average. I find that my foundation moves throughout the day & can make my skin look oily. I'd say use a good setting powder. I'm sure this product would look good on others. It's not a bad brand, it's not for my skin time.

Good for the price – As I've said above, if you can buy this product on sale it's well worth a go. There are better long lasting foundations I've found but they are really expensive! This is good, but it doesn't last all day, it needs to be reapplied in the afternoon if you are going to do something after work for example. I would suggest going to a separate… Read more

entry story get them to match your skin tone as I have found that some are to yellow tinted for my colouring.

Disappointed with this product – I like changing foundation every now and then, alternating expensive products with other cheaper options. I have used Revlon Foundations before and I have never had problems with them, until I tried this Colorstay Makeup Foundation For Normal/Dry Skin. Unfortunately it didn't work well for my skin at all, despite several uses throughout the… Read more

year (from summer to winter months): the effect on my face is terrible: cakey and patchy.

This effect is worse in winter or when my skin is particularly dry.

I would not buy it again, however I will definitely buy Revlon products again.
