Not as good oil control as regular Colorstay, but still worthwhile.

My skin has been more oily lately and I have been looking for something lighter than the regular Revlon Colorstay to help keep shine at bay. While this does not work as long the Colorstay, I still like it and will use it. The foundation leaves a beautiful matte but natural finish, provides about light to medium coverage (I never go without concealer so I don't mind lighter coverage) and doesn't fe...read moreel any heavier to me than Maybelline's Dream Liquid Mousse foundation. But unlike the Colorstay, it just doesn't last all day for me, it helps but I still have to blot. This is not as easily transferred as a regular liquid foundation, but again, not as well as regular Colorstay. One thing you should keep in mind if you are choosing a shade from this line is that you may have to go a shade darker than you are, the colors tend to run light. I'm on the lighter side of the medium spectrum and I had to go with medium deep. Also my Walmart didn't have all of the shades, there was maybe one or two shades darker than what I chose so I fear for darker skinned ladies who may have to try pricier drugstores for additional shades.

Takes a bit of getting used to but has its benefits

I used to use the regular colorstay but decided to try this out. The bad thing is there isnt many shades to choose from but the closest to my skin is Medium Deep. I usually don't like mineral makeup but I actually like this. It goes on very smooth & blends beautifully, I love the soft, whipped texture too. It mattfies skin & controls oil better than the regular colorstay. Though it's hard ...read moreto apply it with a brush so I use my fingers. The feeling of it on your skin does take a bit of getting used to & I don't know if it's transfer-resistant or not. Points for the packaging, it's portable & it's basically impossible to waste. To put it short: PROS: Controls oil, good coverage, goes on smoothly & beautiffully, evens out skin tone & skin texture, nice whipped texture, SPF 20, stays on, portable, good packaging CONS: Hard to apply with brush, takes getting used to on your face, not sure if it's transfer-resistant, not enough shades, can excentuate some lines, can look somewhat mask-like & powdery when first applying (once bronzer is applied, it looks amazing though)

Great drugstore find!

This really is a great foundation and is long-lasting with good coverage. My skin is really oily and this product stays put all day without settling into fine lines or getting globby.

AMAZING- a must have

This is the best drugstore foundation. It has the coverage of a full foundation but feels like a moisturizer. It covers my dark circles pretty well, and evens out my complexion. It is really good, and the color selection is really varied. I would recoment this to anyone. It also leaves a matte finish. I bought it on buy one get one free, and i have normal-dry skin
