Revlon ColorStay Aqua Mineral Makeup.Opens in a new window

What is It?
"Colorstay Aqua Mineral Makeup delivers a burst of hydrating coconut water and an instant cooling sensation upon application. The result: your skin looks luminous and its texture smoother. With a shine-free formula that’s made with water, not oil, this lightweight powder gives you a fresh, flawless finish that lasts all day. Fragrance free and non-irritating. Provides medium coverage in 8 beautiful shades." (Revlon.com Product Description)

Things to Rave About


  • Highlighting Ability: "I love this to use as highlighter when I contour my face. After applying regular foundation, I put this down the bridge of my nose (with darker MAC Studio tech cream on the sides) to make it appear slimmer. I also put it along the corners of my bottom lip, center of my chin, underneath my eyes and a bit above my eyebrows. This makes everything look a bit lifted and lighter." by Lanie805
  • Convenient Packaging"One thing I also loved was the packaging. It's actually the most convenient out of all the others I tried (L'oreal and Maybelline) because you can slide the brush (which was surprisingly really soft and does the job pretty well) in and out the cap for fast application. (I found the L'oreal design a bit of an inconvenience since you had to unscrew the cap several times and trust me, I have had accidents where I'd spill the foundation everywhere)." by msmarielliejellie
  • Hydrating: "This mineral powder nicely hydrates my t-zone without being oily for my other zones. It also feels very refreshing when applying (the cooling effect)." by sankodoma

Things to Rant About

  • Contains Shimmer: "This has glittery bits in it that made me look and feel like a disco ball - awkward anywhere but a party. Just to be clear, I'm not talking about a shimmer, I'm talking about an Edward Cullen all-out-sparkle factor. It exaggerates every pore and wrinkle and makes me look like I'm walking around with a shiny layer of moon dust on my face." by vikibetty
  • Awful Coverage: "I don't know how people can claim that this is medium coverage...seriously? I had to PILE it on at least four times before it was medium coverage. And then of course it just looked like a mask. There was no in between. It was either absolutely zero coverage or mask-like." by ageierl

  1. Hey thanks for the review on this! That is what I dislike about Revlon foundation. I feel like they always seem to like putting shimmer on the product but it makes the pores look huge. Will give this a miss! x

  2. Yeah I hate it when there is an awesome product, but it has shimmer in it :( This especially happens to me with blush.
