The other week i ran out of my L'Oréal infallible matte foundation which I really do love but instead of buying it again I thought I would try something new out.
So I decided to buy the 'Revlon Colourstay foundation for combination/oily skin', i got mine in the shade 'Buff' because it had more of a yellow undertone and because it was it tiny bit too dark, i added a few drops of the body shop foundation lightener.
It was originally £12.99 but there was a deal on in Superdrug so I got it half price which meant I only had to pay £6.49!

To start off with, I think that the packaging looks very professional because it is in a glass bottle and a black top, however the only bad thing about it, is that it doesn't have a pump which means i will probably end up pouring more out than i actually need.
Without powdering or doing my concealer, it gave me a medium coverage and is easily buildable it also left my skin looking quite glowy.
It blended out quite easily and it had quite a thick consistency. I applied the foundation which a damp beauty blender but you could also use a brush.
Once i had done my concealer, I did powder my face because I do tend to get quite oily in my T-zone however my skin still had a slight glow at the same time.
I also felt that, when I applied my bronzer, highlight, contour etc. it went on very smoothly and looked very nice.
Throughout the day it stayed on very well however towards the end of the day I did still get slightly oily on more forehead and nose but you could easily touch up. I had it on for 8 hours and it lasted amazingly apart from like i said getting a bit oily but apart from that everything looked great!
I would definitely recommend this foundation, they also do another formula for people who have normal/dry skin type!
