This is, by far, the best foundation I've used on my excessively oily skin. I do have one dry spot, where it likes to cling to, but I fix that with moisturizer. This stuff lasts all day, in the humidity and sun, without sliding off of my skin. I do still have to occasionally touch up with powder, but this does at least stay on my face. I had to get a few shades lighter as it oxidizes, but I am obsessed.
Great med to full coverage. Light weight and does not have a greasy feel. Lasts at least a good 8 hours (long wearing)
Would highly recommend this product. Great colour swatches.
Available most drug stores and department stores
This is a really great foundation. It gives FULL matte coverage - as long as you set it. I have a lot of hyper pigmentation from old acne marks and this foundation works like a dream to cover it. The only thing you have to watch out for is if you have larger pores - then you definitely will want to use a pore minimizing product, such as Benefit;s the porefessional, before apply this foundation. Definitely try it!
I bought this foundation in classic ivory. It matched my skin tone really well. It went on nicely, and evenly, no problem at all. I definitely recommend it.
The best foundation I have ever used for such an economic price. I will be eternally faithful. Have found nothing tht compares without adding concealer
i'm picky when it comes to my coverup this one covers up very well my scars that i have on my face as well as some acne
I have had this foundation for about half a year now and it's now my everyday foundation!
It works really well and suprisingly has better coverage than I thought!
Also very affordable and there's alot of product in one bottle!
I recommed this so go out and buy it!
If you have oily skin and are looking for a good drug-store foundation, definitely reach for this one. I have not been impressed with any of the Covergirl foundations until I found this one. I have loved this foundation since the first time I used it.
PROS
Packaging - I have to give props to Covergirl for their packaging. This foundation comes with a pump which makes it easy to control how much product you are using (and believe me a little goes a long way with this product) and is more sanitary. At the same time, there's a lock for the pump so you don't have to worry about leaking if you want to bring this along in your purse.
Sun Protection - This foundation comes with Broad Spectrum SPF 20 which is a major plus in my book. You can never have enough sun protection. This makes this foundation wearable all year round, specially summer.
Texture and Consistency - This foundation is not as thick as other foundations making it very easy to apply and blend. You can use your fingers, a brush, or a sponge to apply it. It feels very light on the skin and you almost forget you're wearing a foundation because you don't get that heavy, suffocating feeling of other foundations. It sets to an almost powder consistency (maybe that's why it feels so light on the skin). There is also a good colour selection to make it easier to choose a shade most suitable for your skin tone.
Coverage and Lasting Power - This is where this foundation truly shines. After the first application, it already has a medium to full coverage. If you want even fuller coverage, you can just as easily build up the foundation without it going cakey. You can apply additional layers and use this as your concealer for your trouble spots. This product really does live up to its claims. For those with oily skin, you will love this foundation because it has a matte finish. I have worn this foundation on its own without a primer and setting powder and it has stayed on all day. I have worn it in various weather conditions and it has never failed me. I have oily skin and this foundation has helped me stay shine-free throughout the day.
CONS
(1) This is not for those with normal to dry skin because it will settle into your dry areas and accentuate them even more. If you have dry areas anywhere on your face, I would suggest using a good moisturizer before applying this foundation.
(2) Because of the SPF, it does give you a white cast when taking photos with flash. I combat this by setting it with a matte (non-SPF) powder matched to my skin tone.
Other than that, I find no fault in this foundation. It has become a staple in my make-up kit and I will continue to repurchase it. I HIGHLY recommend this product.
I was looking for a foundation that had a medium coverage, and was very light on the skin, and once I came across this product it was love at first sight!
I have acne, blemishes, scaring, hyper pigmentation, etc. But i'm not crazy about covering each imperfection completely, so this foundation is literally perfect.
- I am very happy about the pump to keep the rest of the product clean from bacteria.
- Choosing a matching colour is pretty easy with their selection of shades.
- The product is easily worked into the skin to create a flawless face.
All in all, a great product!
I never thought a drugstore foundation could be this good! The quality and quantity you get is great for the price you pay! I have some acne scars and this 3in1 foundation does the trick of hiding them. 1 coat for a medium coverage is more than enough. But some like a more covered up look and 2 coats weill def. do that. They also have a great range of colors. So there'll be one there for you!
