light medium warm olive stippling foundation brush

I purchased shade 330 Natural Tan I would say it is neutral with yellow undertones. There is a good variety of shades to pick from, and unlike a lot of other foundations, Colourstay has darker shades available. May I also add that it has not given me any additional break outs or irritated any of my acne or my sensitive skin. I am very pleased with how the foundation feels light on the skin yet has a good coverage and does not look ”cakey” or ”fake”. I usually just apply one layer all over my face and then on the troubled areas I would go over them again with a second layer. In regards to covering blemishes and spots, I would say it does a good job. I do not use any sort of primer, serum or powder when using this foundation, as I don’t think I really need it, therefore considering I don’t use anything else underneath or on top, this foundation for me last about 8 hours before I see a bit of fading and about a good 12 hours when the fading is more noticeable, with a touch up it would last a lot longer and bare in mind if you was to wear a primer and powder it will probably live up to its statement and last up to 24hours. The added bonus to this foundation is that it contains SPF 6, but I find this is a low SPF amount compared to many other foundations in the current market, therefore people using this foundation in higher climates will definitely need to use sun screen protection underneath, luckily this has not been a huge issue for me as I live in England so half the year it is raining anyways! When I tried using my fingers I found that it did not spread and blend evenly on my skin this is probably due to the foundation being thick in consistency and this is why I would recommend using a good foundation brush.

I tend to use my Real Techniques stippling brush to apply this foundation, the finishing effects are flawless. The liquid formula is quite thick and can dry up pretty quickly, therefore when applying this foundation I would do a small section at a time, however, despite it being quite thick in consistency it blends very well to my skin. I would say this foundation is medium to full coverage depending on how many layers you do.

I have purchased the formula to suit combination/oily skin types however my skin is now more on the dry side but still works perfectly fine. There are two types of formula’s that they provide which are either for oily/combination skin or for normal/dry skin. This foundation has been on the market for years but it is still one of my favourite foundations, I have been using it for about 2 years now, I have sampled quite a few others but always seem to go back to Revlon Colourstay. Today I would like to share my thoughts on the Revlon Colourstay Foundation for combination/oily skin types in shade Natural Tan. We all know that there are hundreds of foundations to pick from, from your high end to high street brands, with vast variation of the type of foundations whether it is liquid, mousse, cream or powder.
