Battle of the Foundations-Revlon Colourstay vs Bourjois Healthy Mix

Hey guys its Geraldine back with another blog post today I'm going to be comparing two cult favourites and making them fight it out to be called Geraldine's favourite foundation. Let the battle begin!

Revlon Colourstay                             vs                        Bourjois Healthy Mix

Round One-Price 

Revlon Colourstay currently                                   Bourjois Healthy Mix Currently
      retails for £12.49                                                         retails for £9.99        
         (boots online)                                                            (boots online)

                                                            Healthy Mix Wins!

Round Two-Shade Range 

Revlon Colourstay comes in 20 different shades with a mix of cool warm and neutral undertones so your sure to find something for everyone. As a girl with pale skin I find it extremely difficult to find a shade to match but with Revlon Colourstay its so easy with the lightest shade been even to pale for me which  I didn't think that was possible! It also comes in two different formulas for dry and oily skin so I think it deserves bonus points.

Shade range is a huge let down for the healthy mix  foundation with it only having 5 or 6 shades, I can not find a foundation that matches me perfectly and all are warm toned.

                                                               Colourstay wins!
Round Three-Packaging

This ones easy as my only packaging requirement in a foundation I want is a pump but sadly revlon colourstay lets me down, unlike healthy mix, otherwise both foundations have nice glass packaging.

                                                             Healthy Mix Wins!


Round Four-Staying power

This is easy as it is simply a matter of fact revlon colourstay stays on all day and I mean all day without fail, the healthy mix has an ok staying power but you will find yourself needing to touch up by mid day.

                                                             Colourstay Wins!

Round Five- Coverage, texture, finish

Here it is the big one the one that really matters, and the truth is they are both excellent and in the end it really comes down to preference, healthy mix gives a medium coverage with a definite dewy finish perfect for those with dry skin or spring summer looks . Revlon colourstay gives a matte finish and a very full coverage, the thought of a matte finish might scare those with dry skin but with the two different formulas there is nothing to be worried about. However my personal favourite is the healthy mix as it feels so light on my face whilst the revlon colourstay can  feel like a little too much.

                                                              Healthy Mix Wins!

So putting all those rounds together my favourite foundation is ....Healthy Mix!
