Revlon Colorstay (liquid foundation)-Breaking Me Out?

15

Sort By

Hey evereyone I was curious if anyone has ever had issues with Revlon Colorstay Liquid Foundation breaking them out? I never had issues with my skin but I have been noticing especially on my forehead and cheeks I have been breaking out in bumps all over, was wondering if *maybe* it could be my foundation.

If you have had problems with your skin breaking out from this, have you found a better alternative full coverage foundation?

(btw) also have been noticing lately my forehead has been really oily, which i NEVER use to have a problem with, most of the time my skintype is dry?? Thanks evryone! xo

I recently just tried out Revlons Colorstay because I'm on vacation and hate bringing my pricier foundations with me. So far, so good with trying it out. Everyone's skin is different though, and what works for me might not work for you. I can recommend MAC match master foundation though, it has about the same coverage and pretty much the same finish. I like my foundations to have a lot of coverage, so that covers up my unevenness pretty well, and doesn't get too cakey either in my opinion.

I am having the same problem! I love the coverage, but I think it stays on so well that it is clogging my pores. I'm going to try Nearly Baked for every day use and reserve the ColorStay for long days out it special occasions. I'm hoping it helps. Nothing worse than finding a great product and not being able to use it :(

I'm actually wearing it right now, I've always had issues with sensitive skin, but now I mix any of my foundations with any of my tinted moisturizers and it has helped me a ton!

I'm having the same problem with the revlon color stay. It made me break out really bad. I've only used it maybe 3 days. I'm now using urban decay naked.

I had the same problem so I stopped using it and my face had calmed down a lot. This foundation is way to hyped up. It made me break out have me cake face and didn't match my skin tone at all.

it never broke me out but it made me look so cakey no matter how little I used

My skin has been broken out more but I'm using the colorstay whipped. I'm not sure if there is a difference but I didn't even think about my foundation breaking me out! Yikes :(

The whipped broke me out, but as long as I wash my face I'm fine.

I only say that due to the fact that if I don't wash it off, all hell breaks loose on my skin. The liquid foundation didnt affect it as much.

Revlon colorstay is HG for me BUT it stays on forever!!! I have to use makeup remover first and then use my cleanser twice followed by toner to make sure I'm not leaving the foundation remnants on my skin to screw my complexion up...once I was OCD about removing it all my face hasn't broken out at all

OMG. I thought my acne was hormonal but I haven't broken out in years like this. They had discontinued my favorite foundation so I tried colorstay and my forehead and cheeks are all broke out in tiny pimples. It's so gross. I am getting rid of this foundation ASAP.
