I know that most of you have probably already heard about this foundation, but I just wanted to give you my two cents too.
This is a new foundation released from Covergirl, and prior to this I never really paid any attention to foundations from Covergirl. But, I had seen so many reviews on this foundation from Youtube gurus that I follow, so I knew I had to pick it up-especially because I had just run out of my Wet 'n Wild tinted moisturizer earlier this year.
What it claims:
It is a little bit pricey for a drugstore foundation-I picked this up from Target but you can get it anywhere for around $10-12 depending on where you go. I feel like it definitely does do what it claims-it didn't disappoint at all.It does come with a pump, which is great for sanitary purposes. I got the shade Medium Beige, which is honestly a little light for me, but that's okay because I am able to bring back more color to my face with bronzer and blush.
It is a medium to full coverage foundation, which was really a heaven sent because my skin has been so hormonal lately. I have been off of my birth control and my skin just went whack. The tinted moisturizer just wasn't cutting it anymore.
Upon first use, I was amazed at how well it covered. It definitely covered all of my redness, concealed undereye circles, and gave me a matte finish. I have oily-combo skin and so matte finishes are a dream for me. Bam. I was hooked.
I know that it claims to have a built in primer, but I still use my L'Oreal primer underneath anyways, just to be extra safe. I teach all day long, and don't have time to be running to the bathroom to blot and powder. This foundation lives up to the hype.
I use about two pumps for my face, the second pump is what I use to go over any other blemishes and build on problem areas. I have been using my $3 Elf flat top powder brush to apply this and buff it out and I am just in love with the combo. It is going to make it onto my March favorites list, so watch for that post soon.
I have been wearing this foundation every day since I got it and choose it over my Revlon Nearly Naked foundation, which I got at the same time. I don't know if I will continue to use it in the summer months, just because it might be a little bit too heavy but I will continue to use this foundation til then.
Have you tried this foundation yet? What are your thoughts?
Love,
I have heard nothing but good things about this foundation. I'm glad it is working for you. I have such a hard time finding the right shade when it comes to drugstore foundations. I do have a MAC foundation that matches my complexion pretty well though.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...off your bc - does this mean your son will be getting a brother or sister soon? :)

ReplyDeleteDor- I don't own a Mac foundation so I m not sure.
ReplyDeleteCrystal- that was the plan but it doesn't seem to be working yet. :(
