Revlon reminds me that beauty doesn’t always have to come with a luxury price tag. There’s a wide range of makeup and beauty products to explore, which makes it easier to compare options based on your budget and personal style. I’d still be selective about shades and formulas, because not every product works for every person. But I appreciate having accessible choices, especially when I want to experiment with a new look without spending a fortune.
Revlon formulas remain solid budget drugstore staples, especially their primers and foundation lines. However, they need to update their shade range undertones, a lot of the light to medium shades lean way too pink or orange. If you can find your exact shade match, it works just as well as high-end brands.
Revlon is proof that I don’t need every makeup product I own to be expensive. I can spend ages looking at luxury beauty online, then end up reaching for an affordable lipstick I’ve had forever. 😂 What I like about a brand like Revlon is that there’s plenty to explore, from lip color to complexion products, without every purchase feeling like a major financial decision. Shade matching can still be a bit of a mission, especially when shopping online, so I’d check swatches before ordering anything new. But for everyday makeup, I appreciate having options that are accessible and easy to work into my routine.
Revlon is one of those brands I forget about and then randomly rediscover every few months. 😂 I’ll be looking for something completely unrelated, see a Revlon display, and suddenly I’m testing lipstick on my hand like I have somewhere important to be. Some products have been absolute misses for me, but I’ve also found some really dependable everyday makeup. That’s what I like about the brand — I don’t feel like I have to treat every purchase like a major investment. I can experiment. If something doesn’t work, okay, lesson learned. And when something DOES work? I usually end up repurchasing it until they change the formula, which feels like a personal betrayal every time.
Revlon has been in my makeup bag for YEARS, which honestly says a lot because I’m constantly buying random things to try. 😂 I grabbed one of their lip products before a dinner because I wanted something easy, and it ended up becoming one of those products I reach for without thinking. Nothing fancy or complicated. Just good color, easy to use, and I don’t have to baby it. For the price, I really can’t complain.
The skincare line relies way too heavily on old-school formulations filled with denatured alcohol and harsh fragrance. The cleanser left my face feeling tight and squeaky clean in a bad way. It felt like washing my face with dish soap.
I picked up a Revlon lipstick on a random drugstore run and ended up going back for another shade. 😂 The color payoff was better than I expected, and it stayed on through coffee without disappearing completely. It does feel a little drying after a few hours, but for something I bought on a whim, I’ve gotten a lot of use out of it.
Revlon is one of those brands I keep coming back to even after trying more expensive makeup. I recently picked up one of their lip products on a random drugstore trip and ended up wearing it constantly. Sometimes you really don’t need to spend $40 on something to get a good result.
The ColorStay longwear makeup formula has definitely changed. It used to be my holy grail, but the new bottle is super runny, clings heavily to dry patches I didn’t even know I had, and oxidizes to an orange shade after an hour.
I needed a new lipstick five minutes before dinner and grabbed this because it was the easiest option. Somehow it ended up being the product I kept using afterward. The color worked with almost everything I wore, and for the price, I really can’t complain.
Some products worked well while others were just okay. The prices are fair and it’s easy to find in stores. Overall, a decent experience.
Affordable products that performed better than expected. I found them easy to incorporate into my daily routine.
Affordable skincare that performs better than expected. Great option for everyday use.
The makeup products are affordable and surprisingly long-lasting. Great drugstore beauty option.
its mid. not bad not amazing. does what it says kinda but nothing special.
Did absolutely nothing for my skin. Feels like I wasted money.
sister forced me to try this. i said no at first but after a week i actually asked her where to buy more.
the PhotoReady foundation is my go to for work days. Covers redness but still looks natural. Ive tried more expensive stuff and this holds up pretty well. Not super long wear if it gets really hot though.
I’ve used ColorStay Makeup for years. It holds up through my 10 hour restaurant shifts. Doesn’t melt off even when I’m running around. It can look a tiny bit cakey if I over apply. Still my go to foundation.
Revlon ColorStay Foundation has been my go to since high school not even kidding. Survived my college finals tears and still looked ok. Good coverage and cheap. Shade match is decent for drugstore.
The lipstick color is really pretty and smooth going on. It just doesnt last very long once you eat or drink. I had to reapply after lunch. Not bad for casual days but I wouldnt wear it to an event. Still use it though.
Revlon lipstick was okay but not great. The color looked amazing at first but after lunch it faded fast. I liked the selection of shades though and it was cheap. I think for everyday use good but if you want long lasting maybe look for others.
I tried Revlon makeup more than skincare and honestly it was average at best. The foundation wore off early and looked cakey. I know some people like it but I expected better staying power. Its cheap but performance matched the price.
The texture is silky and absorbs instantly.
Love the scent of Revlon’s body lotion! Feels luxurious and leaves my skin soft. A bit on the expensive side, but worth it for a treat.
Picked up a Revlon moisturizer on a whim. It’s decent for the price, keeps my skin hydrated. Nothing groundbreaking, but it does the job.
For a versatile makeup product, consider Revlon’s Super Lustrous Lipstick.It offers a wide range of shades with a creamy formula that provides long-lasting color and hydration.
Affordable and reliable. Their makeup and skincare never disappoint.
This moisturizer is a lifesaver for my dry, sensitive skin! It provides deep hydration without irritation, and I wake up with soft, smooth skin every morning.
It works well as a basic serum, but it doesn’t stand out compared to others I’ve tried.
Love their lipstick choices
I had trouble with a defective product, and their support team replaced it without any issues. Very smooth experience.
My sister gave me the Revlon ColorStay Foundation, and it’s surprisingly good for a drugstore product. It provides great coverage and lasts all day
Their lipstick has a creamy texture
The shade range is impressive, and it’s great for a quick pop of color.
The Super Lustrous Lipstick is creamy and moisturizing, but it doesn’t last long without reapplication.
The ColorStay Foundation has great coverage for a budget option.
the shades don’t last long on the lips.
Not worth it!
I’ve been using Revlon products for years, and they never disappoint. Their foundation provides excellent coverage and lasts all day. Highly recommended!
