Revlon Colorstay Whipped Cream Foundation

I found a coupon for $2 off so I thought I'd give it a try. My first try was somewhat a disaster. I applied way to much on accident and had to wash it off. But after that I tried using my fingers for a while to get the feel for how much needed to go on. Since this foundation is a fuller coverage then what I'm used to it was a bit hard for me to get used to.


The front of the foundation.

As I said before It's a fuller coverage. I wouldn't say it's the fullest, but it's pretty great. It also lasts all day. They claim 24 hours on the lid and I've worn it 7am-2am with no wear-n-tear. It still looks great after all that time. As for the finish: it's not matte. It's not dewy. It's just right (says goldilocks.)

It does have a slight smell that I can't explain. It's not that heavy old make up smell that I'm sure we all know. It's just a somewhat chemical smell.


The best part (in my opinion) is the consistency. It really is like whipped cream, or pudding. It's light and fluffy (not like a mousse) but it keeps it's shape. If you turn it upside down for a few seconds nothing would happen. If you store it on it's side over night it would be in the side of the jar in the morning. 

I use this mostly for times I'm running late. The packaging is so easy to use. Theres to tipping and tapping and shaking to get liquid foundation out of the jar. You don't need to use the back of you're hand and somehow, no matter how careful you are, get either way to much or have it pour everywhere. If you wash you're brush often you shouldn't have to worry about bacteria. Simply dip the clean brush into the product, picking up enough to cover you're face. Dot around face, and blend.

Another reason I use it when I'm running low on time is that it's not so drying as a compact. I have a few that I've tried over time to make things quicker on those days but all of them I've tried are so drying and look awful on my normal/combination skin.

The reason I don't wear it every day? It's a fuller coverage foundation. I don't need that much coverage every day. So unless it's a special occasion or a day I need the quick and easy application I don't reach for it.
