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

#2 Revlon Colorstay Longwear foundation for Normal/Dry Skin

This liquid foundation is the more hydrating version of the Colorstay Longwearing foundation line. Here’s what to know about this foundation:

  • it is also oil-free and fragrance-free, and contains hyaluronic acid for hydration
  • it is transfer-proof and won’t smudge under masks
  • it provides buildable medium to full coverage
  • has a dewy finish that is best for normal/dry skin
  • comes in 24 different shades

#3 Revlon Colorstay Full Cover Longwear foundation

This is the souped-up version of the original Revlon Colorstay liquid foundation. Here’s what you need to know about this formula:

  • it is more pigmented than the original Revlon Colorstay foundation so a little goes a long way
  • covers like a concealer, so you can skip concealer and just use this to cover age spots and blemishes
  • has a mousse-like texture that is surprisingly great for dry/mature skin
  • feels lightweight and lasts all day
  • has a matte finish
  • suitable for all skin types
  • comes in 15 different shades

#4 Revlon Colorstay Light Cover foundation

This foundation is Revlon’s answer to MAC Face & Body. Here’s what to know about this foundation:

  • provides light to medium coverage that is undetectable
  • feels lightweight and lasts all day
  • has SPF34
  • “clean” formula that is free of pthlates, parabens and fragrances
  • Best for normal, combination and oily skin. This is not a hydrating foundation.
  • comes in 12 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.
