Review : Colorbar Time Plus Long Stay Make Up

Makeup My Passion's 1st Blog Anniversary Giveaway

Post By Lee (Entry 1)

On my Search For the perfect foundation(within my budget),I decided to check out all the brands. Having had a bad experience with Revlon’s Touch & Glow Foundation  I wasn’t too intent on buying any Revlon variant foundation. But the SA recommended me the Revlon Colorstay foundation. However I found it a little too runny. Plus I wanted to have 1 of those cute dispenser bottles.

So this Colorbar Long Stay Makeup caught my eye. Even though I had a hard time choosing the perfect shade for my skin tone(I eventually bought soft ivory),I decided to give it a try

Price:Rs. 450(I got it for Rs. 400 due to the limited offer)

Quantity:30ml

I was excited to apply my NEW foundation but I was in for a rude shock. I usually like to apply foundation with my fingertips rather than a stippling brush or a sponge. Using my old time method I got on to applying it(after a bit of concealer),but this foundation is sooo hard to blend in..Sooo hard! Even really hard strokes don’t work. The worst part is that it gives you a ghostie look which we all hate.

So I was pretty dejected with it until somebody recommended that I apply it with a sponge. And VOILA!!  It worked

It didn’t require much effort after I tried blending it with a moist sponge & I quite liked  the coverage it gave. No more hard strokes required & no more ghostie glows

Availability:

Easily available at all colorbar counters


After Blending :-

PROs

1) True to its word it stays on for a long time. Pretty much stays in place for 5-6hrs without any touchups required

2)Gives medium to full coverage

2) I don’t break out after using this product like I did with my earlier foundations

3) It gives a matte yet moisturized glow that I totally love

4) It has SPF-15.Shall I say more? For someone like me who hates applying sunscreen, it’s a boon

5) The price is quite reasonable for the quantity provided

6) It has a light flowery scent unlike the overpowering irritating fragrances of other foundations

CONs

1) It is not for women who don’t like to apply their foundations with a sponge(it does waste a lot of product)

2) It does give a ghostie look if you apply it with fingers or a heavy hand

3) You have to work a little fast to blend it in since it dries quickly

4) It comes in a glass bottle & I’m always afraid of breaking it.So its not suitable for carrying it around in your totes,ladies!

5) It’s a bit tricky to choose the shade that best suits you skin tone due to the limited colour shades available
