Ok so on to the foundation! Lancome boasts this foundation to be an oil-free, long wearing liquid foundation with medium to full matte coverage, and should last for up to 24 hours. The shade range is great with 40 to choose from. I purchased the the shade 460 which has a warm/yellow undertone, and it matches perfectly. I found the foundation to be easy to work with and the coverage buildable. I’m not sure how legit the 24 hour claims are because I don’t ever keep foundation on that long, but for a normal day it does great. I do have combination skin (oily in the t-zone) and do have to blot later in the day but not nearly as much as I do with many other foundations. It’s not cakey nor does it separate around my nose or my chin. It doesn’t feel heavy when it’s on either. I would definitely recommend this foundation if you’re on the hunt for something new!
The next foundation I wanted to talk about is the Revlon Colorstay. I’ve used this foundation for years and it’s one I always come back to over and over again. Dare I say it’s my holy grail foundation?! It’s my favorite drugstore foundation and even one I reach for often instead of my higher end foundations. I think everyone who knows me will say I’ve suggested this foundation at least once to them, I love it that much!
I decided to put this foundation in the same post as the Lancome because the Lancome reminds me so much of the Colorstay. So if you’re looking for an alternative to the Lancome, I think this is perfect, and at $9 (Target) it is much more affordable than the Lancome which is $47 (Sephora). This foundation is also medium to full coverage, easy to apply, and oil-free. Like I said earlier, I do tend to get oily in my t-zone, but with this foundation it’s not excessive and just a little blot and I’m right back to normal. I use the shade Caramel (400) and just like the Lancome it’s a perfect match. Unfortunately, the Revlon does not have the shade range like Lancome, so that would be my only con.
With both of these foundations I typically use my Beauty Blender to apply on an everyday basis because it gives it a smooth flawless finish. However, if I want more coverage I will use my foundation brush by MAC (I’ll link both of these tools below).
Have you tried either of these foundations? What do you think? Let me know in the comments!
I have been a fan of Colorstay for a few years now. Great review!
Great review!
I think I'm going to give it a try.
I used to wear Lancome foundation all the time but it was too much for my skin (I have eczema). It is good to know there is a more affordable alternative out there.
I love that you include a dupe! Awesome review!
I haven’t tried land comb but I think that has a good reputation. I just have never really been into it because I always associate it with my grandmother and old people LOL. Now I am the old people !!
Ok first off, You are gorgeous! Second, I love a good dupe. So thanks for sharing.

I love finding a good dupe! I spent so much for years on Giorgio Armani until I found a drugstore brand I loved!

You got me interested in trying this one when you said it helped it controlling oil! Just what I needed. Also good to know that it has a dupe!
Thank you!
You definitely should, I don't think you can wrong with either!
I have heard a few people say it can be a bit much for them. Maybe give the Colorstay a shot if you liked the Lancome, hopefully it will be better on your skin!
lol I love to find a great dupe myself so I wanted to share!! Thanks!
LOL, I definitely understand what you mean, I felt the same way for the longest too….but here I am haha!
Aw you're too sweet, thank you!
Me too! It's great having options!
Yes, it does help me out in the oil department! if you try either, let me know what you think!
Your look amazing in this make up! Perfect pink lipstick shade on you!
I just read that Loreal owns lancome and It cosmetics and Revlon and many others. And the reading read that some of Loreals named drug store brand and lancome high end brand have the same ingredients, basically they are the same products. Amazing
