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.

Heidi Klum

There are times in my life when I want to press “reset”, or wishing life can be like an  RPG game with multiple endings, multiple save slots and chances to save, reload, and heading to different directions. Well, too bad in the path of life, there is no “reset” button, only choices to; abort mission and change direction, continue mission and hoping something exciting will come along, or diversify and multitask your life, like an RPG with countless side quest.

Well, since time always moves forward and there are no save and reload slot in life, I guess the best thing to do is to diversify and you have done so far or added a new thing. Personally, when I’ve done something half way, and in the waiting period to see if that worked or not, I started to wonder, “is this the right thing?”, or “what if….?”. that is the most confusing and depressing period, too much to think about, but there are nothing left to do.

Recently, besides doing the modeling stuff, I branched out to fashion business while learning about makeup. Well, modeling is fun and of course it’s awesome to celebrate your genetic uniqueness through modeling, but as time goes by, a model cannot rely on his/her looks without any additional skills, because you will get old, and every day, tons of new faces will pop-out and compete with you for the same jobs, not an advantage for a business where youth and good looks are highly in demand. 

Eventually, we have to accept the law of fashion business, as Cited by miss. Heidi Klum “One day you’re in and the next day you’re out”, that’s why plan b, c, d, e, and so on are necessary. So, you have to make sure, when you know you gonna give a goodbye kiss to the pages of Vogue, make sure you already got your iron grip on the glossy pages of Forbes..
