Revlon Colorstay foundation is raved about everywhere and for good reason! Lets get into the review:
Available in two different formulas- Normal/Dry, and Combination Oily skin.
You can get this at most retailers such as drugstores, Target, and Walmart. I picked mine up from Target for around $9.49. It is available in 20 shades, I am in 180 sand beige for combo/oily skin. I don't notice any greasiness at all which is a miracle with me due to my super oily skin.
It is a medium to full coverage foundation, but does not feel heavy! I have redness, dark circles, uneven skin tone and freckles- it covers every bit with no problem for a flawless, smooth finish.
This foundation does have a matte finish- Perfect for us oily skinned gals!
If you are looking for sunscreen coverage I would definitely apply that first, as this has an SPF of only 6. It claims to have 24 hour staying power and won't budge, ( I won't be testing that theory, yuck!) I doubt I can argue with that.
I have gone for 10+ hours wearing this foundation without a primer and no touch up needed- still flawless. I do wish it was unscented, (or have a better fragrance for that matter), it tends to have a paint like scent but it does however fade after drying.
When applying, I don't suggest dotting all over the face and then blending, it does dry rather quickly so blend, blend, blend!
If your looking for medium coverage, buff into the skin in circular motions. Looking for full coverage? Stippling is your best technique. This foundation applies flawlessly when buffing it into the skin with a Sigma F80! :)

I do not notice it settling into my fine lines and pores even without primer which is awesome because I do have enlarged pores around my nose/cheek areas.

I can't say I have too much to complain about considering it is a drugstore foundation. I love it and have been a loyal user for over 3 years. The coverage and price makes up for the few flaws found. It is definitely worth the $10 bucks and lasts me for 2+ months. A little goes a long way!
Next time you find yourself roaming the makeup aisle I definitely recommend picking up a bottle and trying it out for yourself. You won't be dissappointed!
