Colorstay Liquid Foundation Makeup for Combination/Oily Skin SPF 15, Longwear Medium-Full Coverage with Matte Finish, Golden Caramel (360), 30 ml

Its taken me a long while to find a good foundation, this is now the 3rd time i've purchased and ordered 2 as its often out of stock. I like the coverage and great for my skin colour, it don't feel heavy on your face like other foundations ive tried. I don't understand why I had to pay £1.99 del (normally its free) was supposed to be delivered yesterday, now its the 24th dec!!!!!! but if you buy now its free del. 5* for the product, not the service

Excellent product good value

This is water based foundation which is perfect for oily skin! For me I think it goes on better dabbing with my fingers! Brushes just leave it streaky and it doesn’t blend well but that may be the brushes fault! I like the coverage which is medium - full! I use two light layers to get a full coverage effect! It doesn’t dry the skin and so far no breakouts unlike my previous lasting finish rimmel! It does oxidise after a few hours wear but again that could be my powder leaving it looking slightly off colour compared to when first applied! I love the texture and weight of this on my skin! I’d say it lasts 6-8 hours until it looks a bit tired! A little goes a long way!

This product has become my go to foundation for daily use and I have repeated purchases. It has a nice consistency and tends to last all day. I have oily and dry skin and this seems to hide both issues very well especially when matched with other products as part of a routine. This foundation blends and covers well, I tend to use this with a flat makeup brush and I can get good coverage quickly. This foundation can be built on to create a more covered area however I normally only need to do once all over and I’m set for the day. Great value for money and gives a natural look and comes in a good size volume pump bottle. (The bottle can be unscrewed to get the remaining product out towards to end which helps reduce waste allowing you access to all of the product when you think it’s finished)

Good foundation

Pros: Excellent Coverage: This foundation provides full coverage without feeling heavy. It effectively conceals blemishes, redness, and uneven skin tone, giving my skin a smooth and flawless finish. Long-Lasting Wear: It stays put throughout the day, even in hot and humid conditions. I don’t need to touch up frequently, which is a big plus for my busy schedule. Lightweight Formula: Despite its full coverage, the formula is lightweight and breathable. It doesn’t feel cakey or greasy, making it comfortable to wear for long periods. Natural Finish: The foundation has a natural, matte finish that looks great in both natural and artificial light. It blends seamlessly into my skin, providing a flawless look without looking overly made-up.

I have tried and tested just about every foundation going from low end to high being a foundation wearer of 20 years. This is by far the best I have found. I have a typical oily t zone and dry every where else. For people undecided between the dry skin and oily version of this foundation, use the oily/combination type. It has a much better consistency, coverage and staying power. According to a makeup artist this is the nearest you will get to Estee lauder's Double Wear foundation, I've used Double Wear and it didn't last half as long as this foundation. It also lasts longer and covers better than any of the Mac ranges. I have tried and better tried every combination of the high end foundations and simply cannot find one that beats Colourstay. How you apply this and set it makes a difference, don't underestimate what priming, using a blender and setting does for your foundation! I use Max factor primer, apply Colourstay with a beauty blender or brush and set with a translucent setting powder. That will keep the foundation on from 9am until midnight and even then it's a struggle to get off so invest in good face wipes/makeup remover! I wear a lot of foundation, I am not a minimalist makeup wearer, I'm a full coverage, not a bit of skin showing, every make up product possible on my face kind of wearer, so the fact that I can keep so much foundation on shows its staying power! People who cannot 'keep' this foundation on, I would hazard a guess, are not priming or setting their face and are probably rubbing a bit on with their hands. I have made all of my friends and family convert to this foundation and they all swear by it and it's staying power. I also love that it is pretty much water proof. If you get caught in the rain you don't get holes of foundation missing! Also this foundation doesn't oxidize so it won't change colour and get more orange as the day progresses as a lot do. The colour you start with in the morning is the colour it stays. I could go on and on about this foundation. Just buy it, if you cannot find your colour then Buff is a very good colour to buy as a lightest one to mix with a darker one of your choice to get a perfect match.

I was looking for a very long time for a foundation that would not make my face cakey. Since I have combined skin, I was always wearing matte foundation but none of them suited my skin. I tried a lot from NYX and L'Oréal and cheaper ones but they either were bad quality, either they were looking horrible on my skin. My problem was always that the foundation was clogging all my dilated pores and the face was looking very cakey, especially around my nose, mouth and on my forehead. I did not had much hope with this foundation because I was thinking that it will be same as others to be honest... and how wrong was I... I received it today and put it on immediately to test it. It's very liquid but covers good and looks sooo natural on skin. Also it's so good that even if you mess up, it's possible to correct everything very quickly with same layer or with another one on top. It even covered my dilated pores very well without clogging them. For full coverage is needed for 2 layers, but even with only one, it looks so flawless on the skin and so natural that my boyfriend didn't even observed that I'd put foundation on. Also feels light on the skin and first 4-5 hours feels like I wear nothing on my face even with powder on as well. After 5 hour in my case I started to have a little oil on my skin but it was less than I had it with any other foundation, also I put my fingers on the skin to see how it feels and it's not sticky at all, after 5-6h of wearing it - for me that's amazing! This is by far my favourite one and I already threw all the rest of my foundations, will definetely buy more.
