I have been using the Covergirl Clean foundation in Medium Light for approximately 11 days on and off. Initially, I had bought it to use at home when I play around with my makeup and perhaps even to go out during the day. After having used it on several occasions I will only be using it to play around with make-up.
Here are my thoughts on the product:
- It’s a little bit difficult to get the product out of the bottle. You have to tap the opening of the bottle hard against your hand or mixing surface.
- Sometimes the product seems to clog up in the bottle.
- Make sure to put on a very thin layer of the product because it can be a bit difficult to blend. I use a MAC 187 SE and it always does a good job of blending my foundation but it took me longer than usual with this foundation in particular.
- The product does not work well underneath the eye area. No matter how thin or thick of a layer I put on, the product would just cake into my under eye area making the lines down there more pronounced than they really are.
Don’t get me wrong, I will keep using the product but only on occasions when I feel like trying out new looks in the privacy of my home or whenever I film my Youtube videos. I would never use this foundation to go out.
Remember, this product may not have done wonders for me but, it could very well work for you!
Drugstore foundations are always a hazzle for me. I think the only decent one I found is the Revlon Color Stay foundation. The only thing is that at the end of the day this foundation sets on my lines and pores. I use it sometimes still because I want to finish the bottle. But then again, lots of people rave about this Revlon one and it's great but like I said on me, it settles after a few hours. :-)
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's the thing about these products; what works for some may not work for others.
ReplyDeleteNow I remember why I stopped buying drugstore foundations. I don't like the whole trial and error process.
Hope you're doing well!:-)
I can't believe I have never thought of having a 'play around' foundation! I am definitely going to buy a cheap drugstore foundation for this purpose! we don't have cover girl here though
ReplyDelete@Nicolacc==> I just didn't want to keep using my MAC foundation if I wasn't going to go out. :-)
ReplyDeleteHope you find a good inexpensive foundation. If you do, let me know :-)
