Review, FOTD - Revlon ColorStay Whipped Creme Makeup

The original Revlon ColorStay liquid foundation is one of my favorites, so naturally I was intrigued by the latest whipped version that supposedly provides more coverage.


Revlon ColorStay Whipped Creme Makeup in Buff



According to Revlon..

Finally, truly decadent makeup offers ultimate performance. The mousse-like texture feels like silk on your skin. And, the time release formula balances skin for a flawless look. All day flexible wear without flaking, caking or feeling heavy.






My experience

- Easy application
- Blends in well and evens out the skin tone effortlessly.
- A little goes a long way. I can achieve light to full coverage very easily depends on how much I use it.
- Very long lasting for sure if not for 24 hours.
- Covers pores nicely and gives a flawless finish
- Doesn't feel masky or too heavy 
- I did not break out from using this foundation. (I usually have no problem with silicone based products, though.)


Basically, I love everything about this foundation (even the jar) except for one thing.
The color match is not perfect for me!
Buff in ColorStay range is the best bet but it still  is a little darker with ashy undertone. :-/

I wish I could get the Vanilla shade from their PhotoReady range in this formula since it is almost a perfect match for my current complexion. (Shell works for me during the warmer months.)

This could totally work as an everyday foundation since I can control the coverage easily, but most importantly, it is lovely to have a drugstore full coverage foundation that performs!




This FOTD was taken a couple of days ago late in the afternoon.
It was a busy day and I also had a haircut. 
You know what can happen after a trip to a salon. A makeup meltdown due to the wash and blowout!
That did not happen with this foundation, I am happy to report to you. 
It photographs quite nicely as well although you can probably see in the picture that my face looks a bit darker than my neck.

I also wore this foundation for this look.

Overall, I am very happy with this foundation and would repurchase if I run out.
