Revlon Colorstay Foundation

OK, so today I'm going to review Revlon Colorstay foundation.
I got the Combination/Oily Skin formula in medium beige.
It's a very nice drugstore foundation. The color range is alright--the color on my skin is not perfect, but I may play around with the colors (or wait until summer and hope for darker skin). It lives up to its name of Colorstay. It has been a good 10 hours since I applied it, and there is practically no creasing or fading, which is without a primer or powder. It doesn't have much of a fragrance, which is nice. Additionally, my T-zone shows practically no shine, which is impressive because it is not hard for my skin to become extremely shiny, which is not pretty. Many people complain about the foundation breaking them out, but my acne-prone skin has not had a problem. The coverage is medium, but can be worked up to full, for me. I use a sponge for application (I use one from Ulta) and there is no streaking (YAY! I always get streaky applications from other foundations, which is so annoying). One problem I did have was the bottle. It is a liquid foundation, so I'm not the biggest fan of just pouring it onto the back of my hand (it gets all over the edges and into the crevices where the top screws on), which is what I had to do because it didn't have a little pump or anything. Also, my friend had a bad experience with the fact that it's a glass bottle--apparently it breaks easily...
