Revlon ColorStay Makeup, Foundation, Bronzer, and Mineral Finishing Powder Review and Swatches

Revlon ColorStay Makeup, Foundation, and Finishing Powder Review and Swatches. Lately I've been on the hunt for my HG winter / fall foundation. Normally for spring and summer I go with Bare minerals and last winter I had terrible Acne which I'm pretty sure was linked to Mac Foundation. So in order for me to be acne free this fall and winter season I'll be trying many different foundations and sharing them with my lovely readers. First up is Revlon ColorStay line!

What I Say It does: About 4 0r 5 years ago when I first got into wearing makeup this was my HG foundation without a doubt. I'm not sure If my skin has changed, or if the formula is different but I found this foundation to just be okay. I would recommended it if you are on a budget and you want great coverage that stays pretty matte ( keeps you shine free for pretty long) but it doesn't give me that flawless ompt look I was going for. Bottom line it gets 2 or 3 stars out of 4 in my book. As far as the Finishing Powder it looks great on the skin, but it doesn't keep you matte for very long so If you plan on purchasing this be sure to carry it with your for touchups. The bronzer/ blush was pretty long lasting and it gave me a nice glow to the cheeks.
