Cover Girl All Day Hydrating Makeup
I have tried my fair share of foundations from Cover Girl and other brands but this one have become a favourite. It blends easily with a brush or a sponge. It has minimum coverage at first but can built up with extra layers. The perfect type of foundation for summer weather.
This is a great foundation for the value. You get like 30ml for $7. For a woman that takes the lightest shade though, it needs more coverage. I have very light skin but redness in my cheeks but since the foundation is light, it is sheer.
Not much coverage and doesn't build well but it did help tone down redness and even out my skin. Works well on days I don't want to wear full makeup.Strangely, I have trouble applying it with a sponge. I tried three sponges and they all soaked up most of the liquid before I could get an even coverage so it ended up looking splotchy. I use my fingers now, then buff it out with a buffing brush.
It doesn't last a full day but I can get 8-10 hours out of it without a heavy primer. With a heavy primer, I have got a full 15 hours out of it. I do notice some oxidation after a few hours though. It's not a big shade difference, but on my pale skin, I did notice it. It can be a bit of a pain to remove. It takes a lot of rubbing to get it off with my makeup eraser, so I have to use a remover first to get most of it off.The plus side to that, is it holds up to sweating and transferring well.
The shade selection isn't great but because its somewhat sheer, its easy to make something work.
I did find it more hydrating that other foundations but only for a few hours. I still needed moisturizer underneath.
great makeup. Didnt even feel like I had foundation on. It didnt smudge off everywhere either. Face felt light and hydrated.
