What are the Revlon Colorstay Foundations?
Revlon currently has 4 different kinds of Colorstay foundations:
#1 Revlon Colorstay Longwear foundation for Combination/Oily Skin
This is the foundation we will be basing our shade finder on because it has the widest range of shades.
This is the original Colorstay liquid foundation that everyone raves about and here’s why this foundation is awesome:
- it is oil-free and lasts all day through heat and humidity
- provides medium to full coverage
- it is lightweight and transfer-proof, which makes it great for wearing under a mask
- has SPF 16
- has a natural looking matte finish
- comes in 43 different shades

How to pick the right Revlon Colorstay foundation shade
Step 1: Figure Out Your Undertone
Broadly speaking, skin undertones fall into 4 categories:
Warm skin tones look more yellow.
Cool skin tones look more pink.
Neutral skin tones are somewhere between yellow and pink.
Olive skin tones have green and grey hues.
Step 2: Find Your Skin Tone Depth
When we describe someone as “light-skinned” or “dark-skinned”, we are really describing their skin tone depth.
Therefore, someone with “medium skin tone” would fall somewhere in the middle of the spectrum.
Step 3: Combine Undertone and Skin Tone Depth to Get Your Shade
Now that you’ve figured out your undertone and skin tone depth, you can use the Revlon Colorstay foundation shade matcher below to find your perfect Colorstay shade.
