Revlon Colorstay Whipped Foundation

OMG! I have found the BEST drug store foundation! On a chance I picked up the Revlon Colorstay Whipped Foundation the last time that I was at Walgreens. I was pleased when I looked through their range of foundation colors. I have an olive skin tone so it can sometimes be hard for me to find the proper foundation color that are not so pink. I found it was easy to select my color match. I had heard that this foundation was really good for dry skin. I thought that I would give it a try as my skin is very dry, especially this time of year. My skin is so dry that I actually use Crisco over a layer of Olive Oil as my moisturizer. However, to properly test this foundation in the way that most people would use it, I applied a light moisturizer underneath the foundation.

The packaging claims that the foundation will last 24 hours. While I find that this foundation is longer wearing that most foundations, I don't think that it will last 24 hours. I do have to use makeup remover to take it off when I get home and there is still a decent amount of coverage. I just don't recommend wearing makeup all day or to bed. You need to let your skin breathe. But back on topic...

When I first applied the foundation I was suprised by how thick the formula was. I was expecting the formula to be very thin and uneven, as it is a whipped product. This was not the case AT ALL! While the formula was thick, it was easy to blend into the skin. I was a little concerned that the foundation would feel heavy, but it actually felt amazing. I found that it was not even necessary to wear a powder over the foundation as it dried almost like a powder (WITHOUT The CAKEY look). It has a beautiful matte finish and makes my skin look smooth, soft and healthy. As I have stated before, I have very sensitive skin (ESPECIALLY on my face!) However, I did NOT have any problems.

I REALLY recommend this product...ESPECIALLY this time of year when most women are looking for a more full coverage foundation. So if you try it out, let me know what you think.

As always
Stay Beautiful :)
