The first one I'm featuring is: Revlon Colorstay Foundation
Swatch of the foundation on my hand:
Using the Product:
- I find that you have to apply this foundation very quickly as it will dry fast. I use a stippling brush to apply and find that's the best method for me.
-The coverage is pretty amazing. I would describe this as a medium/full coverage foundation and I don't have to apply much concealer on trouble spots after applying this foundation.
- The only thing I don't like about the application is that it doesn't have a pump. I sometimes feel like I waste foundation just shaking it out onto my hand/finger.
- The color match, like I said, is pretty incredible for me.
- This foundation reminds me a lot of the Make Up For Ever Mat Velvet + foundation... but, like a million times cheaper.
Thoughts After Using the Product:
- This stuff really stays put on skin! You really need a makeup remover (I use plain Extra Virgin Olive Oil in the shower) to be rid of the product completely at night.
- This hasn't caused me any additional breakouts, which I'm prone to.
- I feel like this stuff doesn't really cake up or oxidize too much on the skin.
- I don't have to do much blotting/touching up with powder during the day.
Revlon Colorstay on Me:

| And that's with a hormonal breakout. |
Bottom Line:
- Definitely worth it if you are at the drugstore and want to pick up something new to try.

Ah, one thing I've tried before you hehehe ;)
I also looked online at makeupalley.com and decided to give it a try! I love it so much and like you said, no breakouts (which I'm prone to) and I don't feel slimy or cakey either.
I've tried this make-up! I loved it! Definitely provided good cover! I just don't use it as part of my everyday makeup!
I've used Bare Escentuals for over 5 years, and while I love the product, its pretty pricey! I wouldnt mind trying this stuff out for the price! Looks like a winner!
i am still trying to figure out what kind of foundation is best for me. i have dry skin that gets SUPER oily by the end of the day. I end up using a powder foundation because the idea of using liquid just has me convinced it's gonna make my face oily, which is a NO!
CupcakesOMG!
Love your makeup recommendations! I'll have to try this!

Thanks for sharing! I'm not real happy with my current foundation (Loreal True Match) even though I've been using it for years. I will have to try to remember to get this kind and try it out!
Love this post!! Thanks for blogging about more wallet-friendly makeups :-) I use Revlon Photo-Ready foundation and really like it too. Revlon seems to have some great products! You look beautiful :-)
It looks great! I just started using the MUFE HD foundation, but this would obviously be so much nicer to my wallet! Glad to hear they have a dry skin version, as that is always my problem. I love your eye makeup!
I recently started using Neutrogena tinted moisturizer and some kind of lipstick lookin cover up user my eyes. I really like it!
I use NW20 too! love it.
The foundation looks fabulous, not too heavy and nice and refined <3

Oohh! Can't wait to try it!
Oh! I cannot wait to try this! I have been on the hunt for new foundation. I'm a no fuss kinda girl: I wanna put it on in the morning and be done but STILL have amazing coverage by the end of the day ... this may work!! YAY! Exited to buy it!!! :)
PS -> See this is why I consider you my makeup guru :)
Great post! I 100% agree with you! This is by far my favorite drug store buy...besides l'oreal voluminous. :-)
The makeup looks really good on you! and if it's only $8 and reminds you of MUFE then i'll really have to try it!
I love how in depth your reviews are. I can't wait to see more!
I'm pretty happy with it, too, but you're right - you have to work with it quickly.
Thanks for the rec! I use Makeup Forever which I love but it is just too pricey!
That's a great post and i think you choose a fantastic product, i hope you find it very useful and like it and it's color stays on you.it suites you.
Revlon is a great cosmetics company and i think you have chosen the best product for your self and it's color is very dark and i think it will suites you.
