Review: Revlon Colorstay Liquid Foundation for Dry/Normal skin

OK, so I wanted to find a nice drugstore foundation for everyday wear since I didn't want to quickly run out of my high end foundations.  I was hesitant to purchase Colorstay but WTH, it was less than $10 at Wal-mart.  Plus, I've heard great reviews on the product.  I own Photoready but I really dislike using it bc of all the shimmers.  Plus the shade is a bit orangey for me.

Anywhoo, back to Colorstay.  I picked up the shade in Fresh Beige from the Dry/Normal formula.  This shade is perfect for my skintone.  My favorite to apply this foundation is with my flat top Sonia Kashuk brush.  I get a nice natural matte finish that doesn't need to be set with powder.

Pros:

• Wide variety of shade selection (10+ shades)
• 2 formulas (dry/normal or combo/oily)
• Coverage is light to medium
• Buildable coverage
• Natural matte finish
• Lasts up to 10+ hours
• Pretty good at being transfer resistant
• Price (about $10 at Wal-Mart/Target)
• Kind to my sensitive skin =)

Cons:

• No pump
• Dries rather quick
• Has a strong "makeup" scent (my husband noticed it...LOL)

Would I repurchase?  Yes, most definitely!

Final thoughts:

This product does indeed even out skin tone and discolorations. The bronzer gives a very natural glow. Coverage is sheer. I'd much rather use the Balance & Brighten as a setting powder. Will use a bit longer before I do a final review.
