It was Okay

This product didn't really do too much for me. It ended up coming out of the bottle really quick and seemed like a lot of wasted product, I wasn't a fan of the scene and it didn't cover as well as i wanted it too.

The smell

The foundation is fine and all, but I just can't get over the smell. I bought this from a drugstore near my house as an emergency, but everytime I use not matter what other fragrant product I use the smell's still. Other then that its just an average foundation

I used to use cover-girl foundation all through my teen years, it was inexpensive and was great for my acne prone skin, as it didn't cause any breakouts. As an adult, this isn't my foundation of choice. I find it really dries my face out, even when I over moisturize. It does provide an even coverage, thats fairly blendable, but I wouldn't say it 100% full coverage. Also, for me it doesn't build up well when I try to cover dark blemishes, it tends to look dried out and cakey when I apply more than one layer. Lastly, the smell, its got this odd slight medicine smell to it. I saw that someone refereed to it as a Noxzema smell, and ya I can kinda smell it but faintly.
This is not the foundation for me or my skin, but I would recommend it those with younger skin or even fair, blemish free skin.

I purchased this because it was recommended to me from a friend...I did not like this foundation. I have combination/oily skin, and it was a nightmare. My face broke out and I was constantly having to re-apply powder foundation to reduce how oily my skin looked. I like some of CoverGirl's other foundations...just not this one.

This is a really cheap foundation and it almost always goes on sale but this is one of those products that brings truth to the saying "you get what you pay for".
Firstly, this foundation smells TERRIBLE. It has a medicinal scent that I couldn't place but I know I had smelled before.. the best way I can describe it is Noxzema, if you remember that strong menthol-like scent. The worst part is the scent lingers and you can smell it on your face long after you've applied it.
It is water-based and you can tell by the texture .. it is very lightweight and I will admit it feels very nice and moisturizing when applied. It is so light though that it offers little to no coverage, I also felt like it wasn't buildable to create coverage because after a few layers it began to look cakey (although it didn't feel heavy on my skin)
I also do not like the glass container it comes in because I do not like to "pour" out my foundation. This also causes me to accidentally pour too much or even spill some. I would prefer the product much more if it came in a pump or even a tube.

I find this product to come out more orange or red than anything, and its not just the color choice because I tried many different ones. Also it is really cakey on my pores.

I've heard mixed reviews about this product myself, it seems something you either love or you hate - and I am in the latter. I like the idea of the product, something that lets your skin breathe, and is actually good on your skin. What got me right off the bat was the smell of it. Maybe it's because I'm used to using products from MAC and Sephora (but since I'm on an unemployed student's budget right now, it's to the drug store with me), but I this threw me for a loop. It smelt very chemical, similar to a clinic or something similar. A pro is that as it's very liquidy it blends easily into the skin, even if it will take several minutes to dry.

Now for my real problem with this product - it caused me to break out. I haven't had acne in ages, and within a week or so of me regularly using this product I began to break out on my cheeks and my chin. I switched to another foundation to see if this made a difference and it did - the break outs stopped almost instantly.

It may just be my skin type, as I've heard that some people haven't had this problem. However based on the break outs alone I can't recommend this product. It really isn't worth the risk.
