I was recently given the opportunity to trial the new Revlon foundation - Colorstay Whipped Creme Makeup as a member of the Beauty Heaven Trial Team. I thought I would share my review here too.
I have not used a Revlon foundation for a long time though it was one of the first brands I tried. I chose the shade 150 Buff. It is a pretty good match for my skin. Though it is probably a little neutral for my cool skin tone but workable.

When you open this foundation, it looks very thick and heavy – this is not the case though. The texture is very similar to softly whipped cream. I also like that it has no scent and contains SPF20.
When applied onto the skin it instantly blends smoothly into the skin. It is a breeze to apply. It blends very easily. It feels like nothing is on the skin. I have found it best to apply with fingers; it gives the best finish and the lightest application.
This foundation dries down to a matte finish that is still very natural. When first applied it is a medium coverage but definitely buildable to full coverage without looking cakey. I found no primer or powder is needed. On my skin this foundation lasted all day and did not shift, fade or change in any way. It still looked flawless after around 12 hours.

The only letdown with this foundation is the packaging. It is in a very heavy glass pot with a plastic lid. Not very travel friendly and is quite bulky. It is also a little unhygienic as fingers needed to dip into it. Also this foundation only has 23.7ml most foundations are 30ml.
I really love this foundation. It gives a flawless finish and feels like nothing on the skin. I highly recommend it. Personally if I hadn’t known it was Revlon I would have thought it had to be a high end foundation.
The Revlon Colorstay Whipped Creme Makeup is available in 7 shades and retails for $34.95 at all Revlon stockists.

Have you tried this foundation? What did you think?

I really wanna try this foundation! I used to use the colourstay but found it too thick/dense/mask feeling on my face. Sounds like this is the way to go! :) But just so pricey :(
ReplyDelete'Drugstore' foundations seem to be constantly going up in price lately. For another $15 you can buy an Estee Lauder one considering their recent price reduction on some items. :)
DeleteI've been hearing things about this but hadn't seen a good comprehensive review yet. I do love Colorstay so I might try this next. Got to finish 1 bottle of foundation first - they're piling up! Ha ha x
ReplyDeleteHaha I know what you mean! I just did a quick count and I have over 10 open foundations... oops haha
DeleteIm keen to try it, my hg foundation is revlon colorstay liquid foundation and i have heard great things about this!
ReplyDeleteGreat review! I love the idea of whipped/mousse type foundations, but in my experience they're never quite what I'm looking for. This one, however, sounds brilliant! :)
ReplyDeleteThat makes me think of when I tried the Maybelline Dream Mousse foundation when it was first realeased. It applied horribly and just balled up on my skin. This one is completely different though :)
DeleteGreat review. I've been wanting to try it, but the fact that there's no ivory colour scares me.
ReplyDeleteI was interested in trying this until I saw the giant jars and that put me off a little - I've got no room left on my bathroom bench!
ReplyDeleteThe jar is way too big and completely not needed. It is so heavy!
DeleteI have it on my face right now after trying it on in Priceline (on special atm for $24)... I must say that I'm not too impressed by it. I looks a bit one dimensional and provides zero glow. I agree that it feels light on regardless of its heavy look in the jar.
ReplyDeleteIt is quite a matte foundation. Are you more used to a dewy/natural one?
