Product Review: Revlon
Colorstay Foundation
 |
Revlon Colorstay cr:Ebay |
I
bought this foundation as an early investment for my makeup kit, because Revlon
Colorstay has lots of great reviews and recommendations from fellow makeup
artists, so if you just start building your kit or you just want a go to drugstore
foundation with good quality, this is one of the best in the market.
For
myself, I’m perfectly matched with shade “Warm Golden”, but since that shade
only available in Revlon Colorstay Whipped, I don’t know why?, but in Jakarta,
I cannot find “warm Golden” in Liquid form, so I have to settle with “Medium Beige” , which is
a match with my face, but a little lighter than my neck.For my case,
fortunately this foundation oxidized within 30 minutes of application, so my
face will be the same shade with my neck.
I
found this foundation best applied with stippling brush or wet sponge for
airbrushed finish, the finish is semi-matte, must be blended fast, because this
foundation set very fast, medium coverage but build-able to full coverage, for
matte finish need to be set with powder.
Pros:
·
Good quality for drugstore price
· Last for a long time, in my case without
primer it can last for 8 to 10 hours, with primer 12 hours.
·
Medium coverage (buildable to full
coverage)
· With the right application, can look subtle
enough, and the semi-matte finish is gorgeous
· Huge range of color choice, too bad not all
color available in Indonesia
· Even tough it has SPF 6, this foundation
will not cause a whitecast in flash photography
Cons:
·
No pump, harder to pour the right amount of
liquid
· The strong foundation smell, it fades once
applied to the skin but for people who sensitive with strong aroma like me, it
could be a problem.
· Oxidizes 20–30 minutes after application,
but barely noticable and only ½ to 1 tone darker than the initial color
·
Good for photography, but for shooting
outdoor in the sun, with hot and humid condition, primer is recommended,
because withour primer the foundation can become blotchy around oily zone. If you
shooting Indoor, this foundation can last long without primer.
