My face looks photoready with minimal effort. My skin glows with even toned radiance looking plump and glowing. Revlon works overtime keeping me looking radiant all day, everyday. Smooth coverage that lasts all day.

My biggest issue with this was how heavy and thick it felt on my skin. The foundation is not full coverage as one would expect but defiantly is buildable from something like this and i felt that the concealer was not the right shade to the foundation. Blending it is also not entirely easy. Feel like someone with a dry type skin would appreciate this product.

The best part of this foundation is that it includes a concealer according to your shade so it saves you time and money from finding another concealer. This doesn't provide a lot of coverage. Its recommended to use a powder over the foundation so it lasts longer. Otherwise it is not long lasting throughout the day . it has medium coverage. I use shade : toast

Toast is a lovely match for me but the concealer is a no go.........the concealer is not thick enough and slips.
Its good for travel and normal skins

I came across this at my local revlon counter and was intrigued to try as it was a 2 in 1 product.
I must say it has been a challenge for me with this foundation as finding my color was easy in store due to the fantastic lighting however when I got home it was certainly a different story.
I purchased the color caramel which was slightly too dark for my skin nevertheless at the price I paid for this product I was going to make it work .
The product is a cream to powder foundation with medium coverage in my opinion however it is very easy to build up to a more flawless glam look if that is what you are searching for . The consistency is a creamy thick formula that blends really well when used with a damp sponge or beauty blender.
The concealer is also a creamy texture and was slightly lighter than the foundation and definitely a little bit off for my skin tone but again you have to make it work . The concealer sets well when you set it with a powder however it will crease immediately if you don't set it with something. I found that the application of the concealer worked better when I used my fingers rather than a concealer brush or sponge .
The compact also comes with a black flat sponge which got really dirty after a few uses but like I said this applies really well with a damp sponge or beauty blender.
I'm quite on the fence about this as I feel like it's a good product but doesn't last as long as I would like it to and wears off before the end of the day .
Other than that it served it's purpose for a medium coverage quick and easy foundation for when you on the run .

Imagine waking up after only sneaking in about 3 to 4 hours of sleep because you and your friend planned an impromptu girl’s night. The entire night and morning were spent reminiscing on the memories you guys shared during your high school years, the good the bad and the unspeakable. You rush over to the bathroom trying to conceal those glaring dark circles which are clear evidence that you did not spend your evening completely the work your boss asked you to do. You empty out your makeup bag spilling everything onto the countertop only to realise that you did not pack your brush or concealer. All you have is a tiny drop of foundation that is simply not going to cut it. Well, that’s where Revlon’s Colourstay 2-in-1 Compact makeup swoops in, in hopes to save the day.
At first glance, I was quite intrigued by the packaging. I thought Revlon had cheated us out of a full tray of foundation due to the large trimming around the concealer. Boy oh, boy was I wrong. This compact, in fact, has three tiers. Here’s the load down on each.
The first tier contains a small tray with the concealer pre-picked by Revlon. It is a shade lighter than the foundation but not too light for a complete highlight effect. It is a tad thick when I rubbed it between my fingers. I applied it to a few of my dark spots but it did not seem to conceal them. I tried building up the product but I was still unsuccessful. The product felt rather drying so I decided to avoid using it around my eye area in case they dry them out a tad too much.
The first try lifted up to reveal the magnificent full pan of the foundation. The foundation glared up at me in all its glory and full of potential. I decided to use a damp beauty blender like sponge to apply the foundation because I was a bit sceptic since it was a compact foundation which tends to be think. The foundation transferred onto my sponge effortlessly and applied smoothly onto my face. It blended in well and did not require much effort. The product was buildable and provided a medium to full coverage. Once I set my face I was quite impressed at how natural and matte my face was looking. Everything was working well until I looked into the mirror a few hours later. The product seemed to settle into my fine lines around my nose and emphasized my dry patches on my forehead.
The second tray lifts up to reveal a mirror and a sphere shaped sponge. The pointed tip helps to get into the inner corners of your eye to ensure that the product is applied evenly throughout your face.
An important point to mention is that this product actually applies a shade lighter than what you see at first glance. This was the only pickle I encountered because my face and neck were two different shades. I guess I need to play around with this product and try missing it with something a little darker to get the colour right. This product is rather drying so you really need to layer on your moisturiser and primer, before applying it. I personally think it would work best for those with oily skin to help bring a balance to the shine on their face. I think that a damp sponge with be the most effective tool to use to ensure that it is blended seamlessly.
Overall this product was a hit and a miss for me. I prefer being able to pick my own concealer but I guess it might work better if I got a shade darker. What I do love is the fact that it is an all in one product which is travel-friendly and perfect for impromptu trips and hasty packing. Revlon Colourstay 2-in-1 Compact makeup can be purchased at your nearest Revlon counter for R299.
