Revlon Colour Stay Foundation Review

I know for me personally, foundation is a product I have to use on a daily basis. I haven't got perfect skin (blemishes and discolouration) so I feel I need a good foundation which is lightweight and stays put! 
I had read a lot of good things about this foundation before I tried it so I thought I'd give it a whirl, I have not looked back since!
Shade 150 Buff

Revlon's website claims that it is lightweight so you will feel like your not wearing makeup. I do slightly disagree with this statement as I do feel like its a heavy foundation which is full coverage, so it doesn't feel lightweight (from my experience-everybody's skin is different and it depends how much you use). Having said this, it's not cakey at all and does stay put all day. 

I use the oily/combination formula as I do have quite oily skin and I do believe this foundation makes a big improvement to how shiny my face is with other foundations. I mean lets be real, I don't think any foundation will make my face completely shine free, but with a little powder I'm good to go!


The only downside is not with the foundation, but rather the packaging. If you're reading Revlon, it needs a pump! Trying to get the product out is messy and I just can't understand why they haven't put a pump on. I have read many reviews of this product and most of them complain about the lack of a pump, so please if you would listen to your consumers.

I have been using this foundation for 10 months, it does not break me out and a bottle lasts me for about 2 months. For £12.49 (Boots) I think this is a bargain for what it does for your skin.


So to sum up...

Pros:
  • Good coverage
  • Isn't cakey
  • Stays put and helps with shine control
  • For how long the bottle lasts it's a good price
  • The smell isn't unpleasant 
Cons:
  • NO PUMP

Thanks for reading!
