Revlon ColorStay Foundation for Combination/Dry Skin in Buff is crafted to deliver a dependable base for your makeup routine. Once applied, it quickly sets to a natural, demi-matte finish that resists fading, transferring, and rubbing off. Its formula helps to balance the skin, providing hydration to dry patches without exacerbating oiliness in other areas.
Prepare Your Skin: Start with clean, moisturized skin. For best results, consider using a primer suitable for your skin type to create a smooth canvas and extend wear.
Dispense Product: Shake the bottle well. Apply a small amount (one to two pumps or a pea-sized amount) to the back of your hand or directly onto your applicator.
Apply Evenly: Using a foundation brush, makeup sponge, or your fingertips, begin applying the foundation from the center of your face and blend outwards. Focus on areas that need more coverage, like the T-zone or any blemishes.
Build Coverage: For more coverage, apply a second thin layer to specific areas rather than applying a thick layer all at once. This helps maintain a natural look.
Set (Optional): For enhanced longevity, especially in warmer climates or on combination skin, a light dusting of setting powder can be applied, particularly on the T-zone. A setting spray can also lock in your look.
Expect long-lasting wear that withstands daily activities.
Enjoy medium to full buildable coverage that conceals imperfections without feeling heavy.
The 'Buff' shade provides a natural, neutral tone that blends well.
Your skin should feel comfortable and hydrated, avoiding the common dryness associated with some long-wear foundations.
Shake Well: Always shake the bottle vigorously before each use to ensure the formula is properly mixed.
Patch Test: If you have sensitive skin, it's advisable to perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of skin (e.g., behind the ear or on the inner forearm) 24 hours before full application to check for any adverse reactions.
Primers: Compatible with most water-based and silicone-based primers. Choose a primer that complements your skin type (hydrating for dry skin, pore-minimizing for combination skin).
Concealers: Works well with both liquid and cream concealers. Apply concealer after foundation for best results.
Powders & Setting Sprays: Can be used with various setting powders and sprays to extend wear and control shine.
Skincare: Ensure any skincare products (moisturizers, serums) are fully absorbed into the skin before applying foundation to prevent pilling or streaking.
Close Tightly: Always replace the cap securely after each use to prevent the product from drying out or becoming contaminated.
Storage: Store the foundation in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing in humid environments like bathrooms, which can affect product integrity.
Hygiene: To prevent bacterial contamination, avoid directly touching the product inside the bottle. Use clean applicators (brushes, sponges) and wash them regularly.
Expiration: Refer to the PAO (Period After Opening) symbol, usually a small jar icon with a number followed by 'M' (e.g., '12M'), on the packaging. This indicates how many months the product is good for after opening.
