Good old faithful Colorstay, the benchmark against which all other long-wearing foundations are judged. I have been using this on and off for years (since it came out in the early 90s) and have...

I got the shade 150 Buff. I usually get this in dry but it was out of stock so I went for the oily one. I am fair with cool undertones. Buff is a fair to light shade. The undertone is a unique...

Shade range is a mess. Complete change. I have worn Colorstay for over a decade. Ivory 110 was the best match for my PPP skin. Maybe a touch too dark and too pink but I made it work with a drop of...

I was on the hunt for a foundation that would work for my oily skin without having to blot. No such luck. Decent coverage and I love the pump. However, this foundation broke me out really badly,...

This is definitely not a matte finish. Immediately after applying, it looks dewy so I set it with loose powder and a big fluffy brush. Even then, by the end of the day, it's once again dewy. I...

Heavy duty full coverage that can look cakey if applied in layers. Has a bad strong paint smell and difficult to use from bottle that has no pump. Will last a very long time.
