  • hi what do you set the colorstay foundation with ?? it gets soooo cakey on me everytime i powder it !

  • @wonderwiwi I don't always set it, because it doesn't really need it. But when I do I use a light translucent powder and make sure to brush off any excess

  • How would u compare it to Revlon photoready foundation?

  • @sqlara the lasting quality is similar but the finish is totally different.

  • i have used both and revlon broke me out really bad and studio fix didn't i been using it ever since

  • Will the mac foundation pump fit on the clinique superbalanced makeup?

  • @MindyHackler I am not sure sorry

  • The normal to dry version definitely runs much darker, I wear natural beige from the normal to dry line, and I am between an NW20 and NW25

  • Nice

  • I don't think I'll ever apply this with a brush or a sponge. I only use my fingers. This stuff dries so fast that I need the heat from my skin to keep it blend-able. I have the oily-combo formula and I have combo skin but I'm thinking of trying the normal-dry formula because this stuff is really drying on my skin.

  • MAC studio fix sucks.Causes break-out and makes the face so orange. Generally the colour range of MAC is pretty bad. Colorstay is better, really long lasting and never oxidizes or causes breakout (which is a big problem for most oily skin). Cons: dries out too fast during application. Can be solve by applying with a damp synthetic flat top bronzer brush.

  • so i really need a foundation and have been using maybelines mouse but i think ive also really wanted to try this one but the only thing im really scared about is how to apply! how do you not get it to be soo caky!? could i use my fingers beacuse i prefer using liquids that way..

  • @aurorasnightsavers It can get cake when applied w fingers- try a damp sponge or some better options if you really want to apply w your fingers are loreal true match or neutrogena healthy skin!

  • @Lisasz09 thankyou!! this was very helpful

  • Thanks I got it and tried it I now look great!

  • Lisa, today I tried with my fingers I watched a video on caking and i realized i was way over powdering and wrongly i am going to try a new primer and lose powder plus i used my fingers today it looks better. I have such big pores can u recommend a good primer? I may try Mac when i have some $ and trybthe monastat method now

  • @djsynnn I would say the monisatat is the best low cost alternative. Too Faced primed and pore less is supposed to be great too!

  • I have watched hundreds of videos on this I really want it to work for me but its not I have the correct color and combination oily skin bottle it looks soo soo caked on me especially around my nose its even rubbing off. I use a rimmel primer and foundation brush. Can anyone help me to why this happens? I powder with rimmel stay matte.

  • @djsynnn unfortunately sometimes a product just doesn't work with our skin type. try applying it with a damp sponge. good luck!

  • i can't believe you wear nw15 and 220 beige. they looks similar on your hand, but when i went to mac to test foundations i was nw15 and in revlon 150 buff is a tiny bit too dark so i have to mix a little 110 ivory or lotion in. if i put on 220 beige i'd look horrible. i have no idea what exactly she put on me, but she said it was nw15 and it was nothing like 220 beige. foundation colors confuse me too much haha.

  • @pinkshamrock18 Sorry to butt in, but I thought you should know that it depends on which Revlon Colorstay you were looking at. The version for Normal/Dry skin runs a LOT darker than the version for Oily/Combination skins... Perhaps this was why it ran too dark for you? Hope this helps!

  • what foundation would u recommend for dry to normal skin that needs coverage and long lasting?! please respond its for my wedding!!!? REVLON COLORSTAY? MAYBELLINE 24 HR SUPSTAY? RIMMEL LASTING FINISH? OR ANY OTHERS PLEASE ANYONE HELP!

  • @beautywithkat I would say guerlain pause extreme. If you are looking for a drugstore option I would say Neautrogena Healthy skin

  • -_- my face is lighter than my hands.

  • @Blueeflueer Mine too! I was just thinking that when she said it :P

  • is it sweatproof and waterproof?

  • @serenejulep I wouldnt say waterproof but reisistant yes

  • What do you apply it with?

  • @purpleparadisex3 my fingers or a damp sponge

  • What kind/color eyeshadow are you wearing in this video. Very pretty!

  • @amber8949 sorry i dont honestly know it was taped over 2 years ago! :o(

  • great review. i really want to check this out; the revlon colorstay foundation!

  • how does it look in photographs? i think i want to use this for prom :]

  • @angellllbaby it can have some flashback with teh spf in it

  • when i heard you talk, i was like, i gotta sub, i must and ooopps, my hand moved on its own and clicked the sub button. LOL. love all your vids.

  • personally, at first i liked this foundation i purchased it in buff, its a good pale colour, and ive got a cool yellowy undertone i guess who it was good for colour as it was still very pale :) but it is definatly very cakey and sets too quickly to work with for my liking :/

    AND ALSO my hands are darker than my face lol, so not all hands are paler than your face, as my hands get sunlight and my face doesnt as it is under foundation majority of the time :P

  • i really lone revlon color stay thank u for the review

  • You are so funny!

  • The irony of it! Left a comment on another video saying you hadn't reviewed Revlon Colourstay! Take that right back! Enjoying your videos. Is it possible to geek out about makeup? The colour selection in this foundation is excellent. I find it hard to get a light enough shade in Mac.

  • I have severe acne scars&blemishes, on my chin &forehead-these certain areas tend to be extremely dry&start to flake so whenever I apply foundation.IF I dont properly moisturize,my chin will start cracking through the cover up&then it starts to look blotchy as well.

    But in reality, by the end of the day, my skin starts to look a bit shiny&by that I mean oily.Which I'm pretty sure I have oily skin.But I have dry parts as well.

    What's my skin type?

    Would this foundation work for me?

  • am I the only person who HATES Revlon colorstay?

  • @NerdSpill no, you are not alone ;-)

  • @visceralanding Thank goodness.

  • you and Pinkiecharm do the best reviews on Youtube!

  • @PinkBlushing absolutely! i enter in youtube every single day do watch both of the!haha!

  • i have really oily skin, and i wear the cover girl trublend, but it doesn't stay for long.

    even at school, i see that by half way, it's rubbing off and showing the redness of my skin.

    i have really bad acne, with acne scars, very bad skin, and i wanted to buy the revlon colorstay but i was just wondering how to choose the right foundation color for your skin.

    i mean you can't go to the store and try on all the products, so how would you know which color you are?

  • @TheJemiPlanet I took a bottle in to the drugstore with me that I knew matched me and I matched it as close as I could through the bottle- good luck!

  • @TheJemiPlanet I always just pop it open and dab a little on my hand in the store, I know thats kind of bad, but its the only way I can find my true color and see if it has the right undertone.

  • Have you tried the Mac Pro Longwear? Is it comparable if you have>

  • @Yajairad no I havent- I dotn buy mac foundations any more they break me out! :O(

  • @Yajairad no I havent- I dotn buy mac foundations any more they break me out! :O(

  • would this work for young, normal skin? and is it full coverage? i would propably want something like light to medium. so after one thin layer is it instantly full coverage? hope you anserw! good review btw :)

  • @Beautyholicc this is full coverage if you want med coverage I woudl suggest neutrogena Healthy skin foundation!

  • @Lisasz09 thanks!

  • i tried the mac studio fix fluid and you like you mentioned, it broke me out. Does the revlon color stay foundation have silicone? since that is what people say breaks people out

  • @89cutedolly I am not sure but the revlon does not break me out

  • @Lisasz09 ok thank you!

  • I'm not sure what formula to get, i have combo skin (sensitive, oily/ dry patches) but i herd the combo oily formula is drying and cakey. I might try the normal/dry formula but will it handle my oily t zone?

  • @ninjahamster25 hmmm that is hard- I would try neutrogena healthy skin instead!

  • @ninjahamster25 I'm the same and I got the dry formula and apply with a damp sponge and it works great just fyi

  • Lisa, I am NW 20 in MAC and I was just wondering what color would be best for me? I have pink undertones. Thank you :)

  • @imthatgirlkatexo I'm also NW20 for MAC, and I just purchased the Revlon ColorStay foundation in 150 Buff, and I am SHOCKED at how close they are!! I mean they are identical in color...seriously.  I would definitely recommend trying this out for your skin tone as well :D Hope this helps!

  • thank you that's my color too :)

  • @imthatgirlkatexo I am not sure but it seems like there is a good answer below

  • flawless lisa!<3

  • Hello I'm sorry but I'm not agreed with you revlon color stay is nothing compare with mac studio fluid. Well that is my own experience.

  • What do u think is the best cream concealer. I have a bunch of runny liquid ones. What's your favorite high end and drugstore.

  • @sweetpimpin23 vichy

  • I love your make up here (:

  • i really wanted to like it but it doesnt do anydifference for me than my powder like any liquid it doesnt maybe i just dont know how to put it on? i have big pores and it just brings them out waaaaa id really like to use liquid

  • great... thanks for the tips! But What Powder do u recommend after the makeup..

  • @ckgarcia97 I like MAC Studio Fix powder or BE matte! :o)

  • @Lisasz09 Hi.. i would like to ask you about Pupa powder. i use it after revelon Colorstay foundation, and I always get outstanding and amazing look and result ( day and night ). what do you think?? is Pupa a good product?

  • @Annadrama1 I have never heard of Pupa- sorry

  • great... thanks for the tips!

  • I love this foundation I just wish there was a pump for it :(

  • i love your makeup here!

  • Your the best reveiwer out here.

  • I love the revlon color stay foundation, ive been wanted to try the revlon color stay concealer but im not sure if its any good. What is a good drug store concealer for under the eyes? and also the face as well?

  • @Astghik143 I have not tried the concealer yet- I like loreal true match and neutorgena concelaer!

  • @Astghik143 i have tryed the concealer, it works quit well but to be honest i would buy a mac one instead :)

  • love the highlight you used on your eyes! it goes great with your skin tone. what was it?

  • @Somantha21 sorry I am not sure ths was a vdeo before started putting in the info what I am wearing!

  • @Lisasz09 lol that's ok. whatever it was, it looked amazing

  • so i have a big problem with finding a good foundation for my skin because i do have oily skin and i breakout very easily so i want to make sure from your point of view if this foundation wont make my skin look so oily and most importantly wont break me out. plz help!

  • @anna63rubio this will not make you look oily- it is a very matte foundation. However for breakouts- everyones skin reacts different- you will have to try and see how t works foryou!

  • Aww, ur goodbye was cute.

    "Thanks so much; have a great day; bye!"

  • is it oil free?

  • @onlinegirl55 The one dedicated to Combo/Oily skinned people is oil-free :]

  • @onlinegirl55 the onle for combo oily is

  • @reinaalano everyones skin is different yu would have to try it to see. It can be thick and clog large pore

  • Does it have SPF?

  • @happylivingirl I am not sure- I dont have it anymore- sorry!

  • @happylivingirl yh it nly has spf 6 though

  • @happylivingirl yes it does i think about spf 9 so not much, i would still use sunscreen :)

  • @happylivingirl It has SPF 15

  • @happylivingirl yes, SPF 15.

  • I know you said it would stay on all day, but would that include if I went to a concert, was jumping, sweating, crying & dancing a lot? I would wear an oil control gel & a setting powder too. Do you think it will hold up? Thanks! Nice review!

  • @TheCanadianEuro I think it would stay except in water and even then it stays pretty well! :o)

  • Is fix fluid easier to blend?

  • @HerCandySh0p yes a little bit!

  • do you know if the revlon colorstay for normal to dry skin is good for oily skin too..the combination skin one is too mate and since the dry skin one has moisturizers on it do you think it would be better??

  • @GiselTY it might be ebtter- you would have to test it to know for sure! it might break you out though from the extra moisturizer

  • @Lisasz09 yeaaa ok thank you :)

  • hi plz reply..what liquid foundation would u recommend if i dont need that much coverage but mineral foundation isnt as much coverage as i want?? like sheer, good coverage, but no full coveerage plz reply i would reallly appreciate it! :)

  • @gymgirl593 I think NARS Sheer glow is great or Neutrogena Healthy skin!

  • Is this a good foundation for taking pictures? Like would I have that white cast effect? If yes can you tell me of a good drugstore and high end foundaion that wont?

  • @23Crysti I agree, can u recommend a drugstore foundation that would work great for taking pictures that wont give me that ghost face look!! :)

  • @00dRivera you need a foundation that does not have SPF in it- SPF is what causes the white cast!

  • @23Crysti you need a foundation that does not have SPF in it- SPF is what causes the white cast!

  • is the revlon colorstay a matte or dewy finish?

  • @bombraleigh pretty matte :) but i have super oily skin so i still set with a powder

  • @bombraleigh I believe it is matte

  • @bombraleigh it is matte!

  • What do you apply REVLON COLORSTAY with? A STIPPLING brush?

  • @LotsofLove06 I use a buffer brush! :o)

  • I like your skin better like this than tan.

    You look amazing with paler toned skin.

  • I have moderate to light acne and some redness. will this give me enough coverage?

  • @AlmightyOwl yes this is full coverage

  • thinking of putting it on my legs for a night out, will it rub off or smudge if i dont set it with any powder?

  • @cravilicious it is supposed to stay but I have never tried it on my legs!

  • I love your makeup

  • you're so pretty!

  • thank you so much!

  • @KynLBin4eva they have a dry skin version!

  • some people say tht it is hard 2 remove ? is it true ?

  • @kimyoobin07 yoiu need to wash your face with a good cleaner but I dont have any issues- it just sometimes is hard to remove with a face cloth cleaner!

  • thanks, this helped me.. I've been thinking about finding a new foundation, and it seemed like a toss up between MAC or Revlon color stay.. I have a white uniform and combination skin so i was wondering if this really stays on so I dont have to re apply and if it will stick to my uniform

  • @laeila08 I would say that when you get hot or rub against your uniform it will still come off- especially if you use a tinted setting powder. It does not usually need to reapply! I hope this helps you!

  • Loved your video. Thanks for the information. I plan to try it:>

  • hey! you're one of my favorite youtube women! so I have a question (: I'm in between this and Studio Fix Fluid. I have money for either one. My skin LOVES MAC & Revlon products. But, I don't know which one would be more worth it! :| I have kind of a pinky tint to some of my skin but majority of my skin is all natural tan. I don't have much discoloration. Help me? (:

  • @samquiambao honestly they are about the same- Revlon can be a bit thicker and MAC can tend to oxidise and turn a bit orange after the day! I like both but I actually think NARS Sheer glow is better than eitehr of these! :o)

  • ive heard here on youtube that it can be hard to work with and blend..... what do you use to apply it ???

  • @dollymix33 I actually just do small areas at a time on my face and use a buffer brush! If you put it all on at once it is very hard to blend- so just do one area at a time!

  • @Lisasz09 Thanks so much !

  • over time or after using the colorstay did it ever make you break out??

  • @purplehearts23 no but I used the one for combo oily skin- so that might have helped- but the MAC does break me out after a while!

  • @purplehearts23 - it shouldn't. I used to use Mac. It made me breakout and it was sooo orange. I tried rimmel london 16hr and i found it.... less than satisfactory. but revlon evens out redness, hides my acne, scars and pores. light creamy texture and the smell is heaveanly.

  • does this feel heavy or cakey ? and does it dry out your skin?

  • @thejoeygenevieve it can feel a bit heavy in the heat of summer- they have a combo and a dry formula- if you are worried about it drying your skin out you can try the formula for dry skin! :o)

  • Comment removed

  • If I am nw20 in mac, what color should I buy for the revlon foundation? Please respond! :)

  • @hypergurl88 I am not sure I actually took my MAC in with me to match it through the bottle! Good Luck!

  • how did you apply it? did you have any trouble blending?

  • @julianosaur I use a buffer brush and I apply it in small areas at a time!

  • @Lisasz09 did you use any concealer? im having trouble finding one that blends well with the colorstay.

  • @julianosaur I use the Costal Scents camo quad! it is very creamy! :o)

  • Your skin is just glowing! Wow! What do you wear except Colorstay?

  • @LemonnSugarr I am not sure this was before I started posting in my sidebar what i was wearing!  Sorry!

  • is this good with acne prone skin?

  • @citbithw yes they have one for oily combination skin that is great for acne skin!

  • does the revlon foundation transfer on clothing because i have been having trouble finding a foundation that doesnt come off on my clothing. please respond!(:

  • @SofsAlot the founadtion doesnt really transfer but any powder you set it with can!

  • Hey doll subscribe to my channel :) globuggy3

  • Is it a good enough product to wear on a hot day? I have my graduation coming up and I'm gonna be taking pictures and I want to have a non-sweaty/oily, matte look.

  • @yoorieluvsyoo yes it stays all day! :o)

  • I've been keeping up with your foundation reviews...do you still like or use the Revlon CS? And here's something I just discovered, but 11709MAVERICK (from 5/09) has a recommendation for an airless pump bottle she bought on ebay to pour the CS foundation into. Seems like a bargain. I've not purchased from the ebayer (yet!), so I cannot recommend them personally...I just thought the bottle was a perfect solution to an irritation (i.e. pouring the stuff out).

  • @sondarah yes I still like it!  Great tip too! :o)

  • I'm planning to buy a mac 187 to use for this foundation. Will I achieve medium to full coverage still?

  • @1awesomepianogirl teh 187 will give you med buildable to full coverage!

  • When i use this foundation it doesn't stay long like when i go to "blow my nose" i notice the foundation on the napkin, it says that it wont rub off on anything but it does can you tell me why or am i putting to much foundation on

  • love ur reviews!!!!!!!!!!

  • umm, my hand is a good 2 to 3 shades darker than my face

  • @chictennisluver LOL, mine too! But I use sunscreen everyday on my face and my hands are washed frequently (the sunscreen on my hands gets washed off), but everyone's different. :)

  • So I'm curious, I went online to find it, and it keeps coming up with Revlon Colorstay with Softflex. Is that the same thing?

  • @KylaraKelley I think they just renamed it!

  • @KylaraKelley yea its dha same thinq ; i just bouqht one today and its says revlon colorstay with softflex.

  • is it long lasting??

    like generally long lasting??

    and is it.. waterproof?

  • @ching962 yes very long lasting- it is not water resistant!

  • I love the smell... It perks me up! =D I love you Revlon!

  • I love this foundation - I am natural beige too - totally use to just had higher end foundation - so it was a step - but totally in love with this foundation - for some reason I like how thick and goopy it is... I stipple it some days or for lighter days I apply it with a wet cosmetic sponge... thanks for sharing your knowledge!

  • I recently purchased colored stay today and idk...i have to say that everything is great but it stinks really bad and i would like to know if anybody had this problem with there colorstay foundation??

  • @Dollieglitz it does have a weird scent to it! :o(

  • what shade am i then if i have yellow tone

  • @chilledXchick unfortunelty I dont know their color line so I cant tell you what would be best! :o( Sorry!

  • @chilledXchick The pharmacies in the U.S. have a liberal return/exchange policy. I would say to look into the return policies and see if you can swap it out if you get a color that's not a good match for you.

    Personally I find that the Revlon colors run more neutral than pink or yellow. HTH.

  • Thank you!
