Revlon ColorStay Pressed Powder with SoftFlex, Medium Deep 850, 0.3 Ounces (Pack of 2)

I absolutely love the Revlon ColorStay Pressed Powder! It gives a smooth, matte finish that keeps my skin shine-free throughout the day without feeling heavy or cakey. The shade 820 Light matches my skin tone perfectly and blends beautifully over foundation or even on its own. It’s fragrance-free and noncomedogenic, so it doesn’t irritate my skin or cause breakouts — a big plus for sensitive skin. The compact is sleek, easy to carry, and the mirror makes touch-ups super convenient. Overall, it’s a long-lasting, high-quality powder that performs like a high-end brand at an affordable price. Highly recommend!

Best powder! I’ve tried a lot of foundation and powders, the color is perfect and so is the coverage! I will be using this from now one!

My go to powder I continuously buy. High quality with excellent coverage for my flaws. Great application pad and container closes well and is not cheap at all. Great and would recommend.

This powder does a really good job for everyday use. The texture is smooth, easy to apply, and it helps set makeup without making my skin look heavy or cakey. It blends well into the skin and gives a natural finish, which I really appreciate, especially for quick daily makeup looks. That said, it’s not completely perfect. On longer days, I do notice that it wears off a bit and needs some touch ups, especially if you have oily areas. It also doesn’t offer a lot of coverage on its own, so it works best as a setting powder rather than a standalone product. Overall, it’s a solid powder that does what it promises and works well for normal to combination skin. I would definitely repurchase it, but I wouldn’t call it holy grail level.

Revlon's ColorStay pressed powder stands out as one of the dwindling affordable talc-based options, especially now that drugstore brands are switching over en masse to "clean" formulations that are predominantly mica. For those of us with oily skin, this industry shift has led to a real struggle in the search for a shine-eliminating pressed powder. While people with normal or dry skin who prefer to avoid an ultra-matte look might appreciate mica-based powders for their natural glow, for someone battling excess shine, "skin-like" often translates into a pearlescent finish that unfortunately emphasizes pores and wrinkles. This particular powder does include "synthetic mica" (synthetic fluorophlogopite), but thankfully it's listed as one of the last ingredients in the formula. This placement helps prevent the powder from appearing chalky on the skin, which is a definite plus. Under both fluorescent (first photo) and natural (second photo) light, I don't detect any noticeable glitter in this powder. The brand markets this powder with a claim of "lasts up to 16 hours," which hasn't aligned with my experience, particularly in terms of shine control. I typically start to see shine breakthrough and a reduction in coverage after about 2-3 hours of wear. While this might initially sound like a major product letdown, these results are fairly typical for most drugstore pressed powders I've tested. To manage shine that inevitably emerges, I recommend using blotting paper first, and then touching up with powder. Layering more powder directly over oily skin can easily lead to a caked-on appearance, which is something I think we're all trying to avoid. Shade 290 Natural Ochre is a commendable option for light-medium complexions with a slightly yellowish undertone. It manages to be not too warm (leaning orange) and not too neutral/cool (beige-pink), which is a balance surprisingly hard to find in drugstore brands. Often, drugstore ranges include only a single pale yellow shade in their fair-light offerings (or label it as a "translucent" or "banana" shade), completely skip the light-medium range for yellow undertones, and then reintroduce "yellow" undertones again starting in the medium-tan range. Even then, these are frequently golden (olive) shades that are too deep for my light-medium complexion. Regarding application, the included puff is acceptable for quick touch-ups, but a fluffy brush is definitely preferable for building up sheer coverage in more diffused, even layers. To be clear, this powder isn't going to magically erase significant skin texture or look flattering on flaky dry patches, nor will it replace a full-coverage liquid foundation or concealer for effectively covering blemishes. It also won't substitute a dedicated "HD" silica finishing powder in providing intense pore-blurring and shine-control. However, if you're seeking a travel-friendly pressed powder with a relatively smooth texture that offers light coverage without an overly metallic finish, then this Revlon ColorStay pressed powder is a solid and affordable choice.

Perfect for blurting out imperfections. Love the size of the compact. Silky smooth powder.

High quality pressed powder compact. Has 2 compartments, one with powder, one with mirror and applicator. I got the transparent color and it really stops the shine, without looking powdery.

This shade is perfect for my fair to pale skin with pink undertones. It’s like a full coverage powder foundation that you don’t have to spend $50 on with MAC (although I love MAC) it works as well. Great for touch ups through the day or alone or applied with a powder brush over full coverage foundation. This is my second order and I’ll keep ordering this product!
