Revlon ColorStay Whipped Foundation

I had high hopes of this foundation when it first came out, unfortunately it falls flat.  I picked it up in Ivory 110.  Similar to the regular ColorStay the match is off for me, but more so with this one. I could be crazy but this one seems to have a blue/grey tint to it. I can't get it to blend very well into my skin. Also I've noticed that it turns to water--I took a picture of it.  I haven't had this long at all--about two weeks when this happened.

This was a brand new container, used it once and then put it into the drawer.  Came back to it about two weeks later and there was literally water to pour out.  No idea what happened.  I actually have two of these foundations and both did the same thing (I bought the second one after the first did this, I thought it must have been something I did, I also really wanted to like this foundation).

The with picture shows the discoloration/poor match.  It has a weird grey/beige tint to it.  The coverage isn't bad but match is off for me.

Ignore my crazy hair please.  I finally got it blended in decently but its way too much effort to make it look halfway decent.

Lol.  I look so sad in this picture.  I really did have high hopes for this foundation so the face is pretty accurate.  

Bottom Line

I would not recommend this foundation, aside from the bad match for me it has a weird issue with turning into water.  Hopefully they will re-do it later on.  Or maybe I'm experiencing a freak thing, who knows?  For now I'm going to pass on future whipped line products. 

I would love to hear from others that have tried this foundation.

Revlon ColorStay

I've heard great things about Revlon's ColorStay so I decided to give it a try.  I got Ivory 110 to try.  The foundation has a nice feel but does not match my face exactly.  Its go more of a grey/beige tint to it.  I'm thinking this shade might be better for warm or neutral skin tones?  I'm not sure since I'm still learning about all this. I do agree with everyone that says its long wearing, it does stay on very well.  I have worn it and will continue to wear it (its not as obvious that its not an exact match when I'm not under bright lights) since its a nice wearing foundation.

I'm not sure how well it shows up in the photo but the match is a bit off for me.  Its a bit too greyish or something for me.  With a powder and extra blending its not so bad but its not perfect for me.  The redness on my checks is from a sunburn.

Its not as obvious in this picture but match is off for me. This is the lightest shade so I'm not sure that there is one for me. I run into that a good bit unfortunately.  I will say though, it is a good wearing foundation.  (I figured I'll use the bottle I have since its not horrible but not the blend I'd like).

Bottom Line

I wouldn't recommend this foundation for the extremly fair, like myself, with cool undertones.  Its a nice wearing foundation but the match isn't right.  If you're a bit darker than me you'll probably love it.  I would love to hear other's opinions. Also maybe there is another shade in this I can try?



Thanks for looking, goofy faces and all.
