Revlon Colorstay Foundation

Kind1too — Fri, 18 Jul 2014 07:41:40 GMT

I need help with color selection. I want to get the liquid for normal-dry skin. Since I don't wear foundation I don't know what color to get. I have cool undertones and am between fair and light. I have been wearing Missha Perfect Cover BB cream in color 21, it is a tad too dark but I am quite sure 13 would be too light. I just have to make sure I blend good around jaw line. I think my coloring would be similar to Courtney Cox.

Thanks for your help!

Kind---I loved this foundation. I have your same coloring, and I used the normal-dry formula in 220-Natural Beige. It was a perfect match for me in every month except August and Sept, when I have a tan.

I bought it in Target, and they told me I could bring it back if it did not work for me. I also liked the Estee Lauder Invisible Fluid.

This might not work if you have never worn foundation, but there is website called FINDATION and if you log in the products that have worked for you it will find you foundation matches in other lines. Its pretty awesome.

I am fair/light w/ pink undertones. I tried several shades trying to find my match too. I found Buff to be very yellow & light. The shades look darker in the bottle. I've determined that my shade is Nude, which has cooler undertones. For reference, I can wear Creamy Natural in some foundation shades, Ivory in some, depending on how many are offered. I'm currently mixing Sand Beige (more neutral toned) & Medium Beige (cooler) to use both up. I'd guess you're probably between Sand Beige & Medium Beige depending on how fair you are.

Thank you all! I'm going to RiteAid as soon as I wake up from my nap. I went on the Findnation site and put in some foundation colors that worked for me, except that I didn't like the formulation and it didn't give me any color recommendation for the Colorstay, but it did give me on for another Revlon foundation. Maybe I can color match from that color?

Thanks again!

I went to Sephora at JC Penney today and got color IQ'ed. I'm wearing Boscia bb cream in light. Love the color on me! I wanted to try the Supergoop, but the one at Penney's doesn't have it.

ITA with Buff. I use it & no color difference from my face to neck. I hate that. I used to use it for years & recently went back to it. My sister has been wearing it forever. Can't beat the price.

The Buff was too yellow for me. I got Nude and Ivory. I always seem to fall between shades. I put the Ivory on and it looks good, of coarse I'll have to try again in the morning in the morning sun. I didn't have to blend at the neck line. I'm going to try one half face of each color. The Nude is dry to normal and the Ivory is combo to oily. It was strange that nude was 2 different colors in the different formulas.

I've recently stopped self-tanning, so I'm using my natural shade of Ivory right now. I don't notice any yellow in it at all. I have really pinky undertones to my skin, and the Ivory does a great job of neutralizing them.

No yellow in the Ivory. It makes my skin-tone look like it did when I was a child, before all of the sunburns. It does a good job at hiding all the blotchy skin and broken capillaries. Not too bad on the age spots either.

Agreed! I should have mentioned that I also have mild rosacea and melasma, and both are fairly well concealed with the Colorstay!

I got the whipped variety of this foundation and I'm loving it on my oily skin. However, I do find all of the shades in my end of the shade spectrum to be rather yellow-based. The lightest shade (110?) was too light. The buff (150) sort of works but it's a tad yellow and light. I add my Ready to Wear pressed powder on top (which adds a touch of color) so that my face matches my chest. I just bought the 200 Sand Beige and while it's a tad cooler-toned, it's also too dark for me.

I guess I'll mix some of the 150 in with the 200 to, hopefully, make a shade that works perfectly for me.

It's never easy, is it??

I used the Boscia in light, too...and 220 in the Colorstay is also a great match for me.

The nude and the 220 were almost the same.

I think I am going with the Ivory. It seems to wipe out the redness and capillaries the best. I could easily go with either. I am going to exchange it for the normal skin, the one for oily skin actually felt oilier.

Has anyone use this with BB cream as a primer?

Thanks for all the suggestions.

After experimenting with the Colorstay and different primers, I actually believe it looks better with no primer (shocking, I know), lol! My Elta MD 41 tinted sunscreen acts as a semi-primer anyway.
