    I compare this foundation with Make Up Forever HD Foundation, it's thick, pigmented and goes on very smooth. I like that it gives me a matte finish and it doesn't cake on. This one is a bit pricier for a drgustore foundation but I found mine on sale for about half price so I snapped it up! I would definitely buy this one again. It lasts a really long time too. The one thing I hate about it is the packaging. I like to have foundations with a pump or a squeeze bottle but this doesn't have either so it gets a bit messy.

    i've always heard everyone raving about this product so i decided to give it a go myself.
    maybe my expectations were just too high, but i hate it. i've tried everything i can think of: different primers, different tools and techniques, different setting powders, etc. no matter what i do, this foundation is too think and unmanagable. it accentuates my dry areas and oily areas alike, makes my poors look huge and all of my flaws obvious. i'm not so happy with the photoready either (i've reviewed that too). it seems i just keep striking out with revlon foundations. very disappointed.

    Maybe it's because I've gotten older or maybe it's because my "makeup skills" have improved, but I LOVE this stuff now! I reach for it all the time. It's definitely heavy coverage and very thick, but it's long wearing and really fast to apply -- perfect for long school or work days.

    I bought this after reading some of the great reviews here, and so far I'm not disappointed! Usually foundation slides right off my face within a couple of hours. When I got home last night, the only thing I noticed was a little bit of shine on my nose, which is expected with my skin. I'm super impressed! The only concern I have is when the summer weather comes, this does seem a bit heavy.

    I used this foundation before and I didn't really enjoy it. It seemed to run and smear all over my face. It wasn't very good coverage. I wouldn't recommend it:(

    I have been using this foundation for a few years and that says everything about it. I normally have to switch products a couple of times a year due to oily/combination skin. This one has been the best by far. It matches my skin tone well and it doesn't build up when a powder is added on top. It also does not contribute to breakouts or oily skin. It can be found at all drugstores and other retail stores that have a beauty section.

    One of the best drugstore foundations that I have come accross, ever. Full coverage, lasts until you take it off, just that kind of amazing. I have dry skin in the winter, so I picked up the normal/dry skin formulation. Unlike most high end foundations, this does not cling to and emphasise my dry areas - which is basically my entire face. The next day my face was insanely less dry, which I'm not sure comes as a promise with this foundation but by all means is fine by me.
    As far as price goes, it is a little pricey for drugstore foundations, but if it performes better than all high end ones I have tried, so I'll be just fine.
    I have nothing bad to say about this foundation, and I would recomend it to anyone with dry skin in a heart beat.

    I have frustrating skin when it comes to choosing a foundation. My forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin get shiny pretty fast, and all other areas of my face tend to get flaky. No cleanser, astringent, lotion or foundation has been able to help me balance things out and last all day, but Revlon ColorStay comes close. I was able to find a shade that almost perfectly matched my skin tone ( I achieved a perfect match by adding powder), which is a feat in itself for me. Application-wise, it goes on smoothly and blends well. A little bit of this foundation goes a long way, as I discovered with my first use. Too much and it's VERY obvious that you're wearing makeup. As the day wore on, the dreaded shine began to appear, although I must say it was a lot better than usual. My only real complaint was that the makeup felt mask-like to me. It promises to be lightweight and comfortable, but I felt the opposite. The best way I can describe it is that I felt acutely aware of having it on my face. I'm not too crazy about the price at $16 for a bottle, but I suppose it's reasonable compared to higher-end brands. All in all, a pretty decent foundation.

    I purchased this foundation (reluctantly) after all the rave reviews I had read on my fellow blogs.I am a foundation fiend and I wasn't sure if I believed all of the hype surrounding this one, but when I saw Rexall was having a sale and the price was unbeatable, I caved.

    Boy, am I glad I did! This is probably one of the best foundations I have purchased. I'm pretty picky when it comes to feel, coverage and blendability so its hard to impress me with just any foundation (and believe me, I've tried them ALL!). I purchased this in the normal/dry option (even though I would say I'm more of a combo/oily sort of skin type) because it contained more sunscreen - and thats never a bad thing! This foundation is extremely blendable, feels almost weightless on the skin and has an amazing color selection!

    My little tip is that I mix this with Revlon's PhotoReady makeup to give it more dimension and keep it from falling flat. If you're looking for a longwearing, semi-matte and inexpensive foundation - hands down this is the one for you!

    This is my favorite foundation so far! I even prefer this over the pricey MAC Studio Fix Fluid. I love the coverage, I love the smell (though some can't stand it) and I love the long lasting wear. The ONLY thing I can't stand about this foundation is, it doesn't have a pump! *two thumbs down for packaging.*
