Hi Everyone!
It's halfway through the week, so be excited it's almost the weekend!
WARNING: I had a total blonde, face palming moment... You will see why at the end of my post.
I bought the Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 foundation (heck of a name, right?) a few weeks ago and have given it a fair trial. I bought mine at Walgreens for around $13.
What Covergirl says:
All-in-one foundation with a long-lasting formula that fuses primer, concealer, and foundation in one easy step! The 3-in-1 formula provides a flawless look that lasts all day long.
This foundation has medium-buildable coverage which I tend to look for in a foundation because of acne scarring, hyper-pigmentation, etc. (I applied this foundation with my Real Techniques Buffing Brush)
I absolutely love the packaging of this foundation simply for the fact that is has a pump! Why can't Revlon get on board with that?
This foundation lasted pretty well during the day and I only had to powder my face once during an 8 hour day, which is impressive and something I look for in a foundation.
However,
This foundation looks so cakey on my skin and emphasizes all of my pores! It looks terrible on me! My skin looks 10 times drier than before I put on this product! NOTE: in the winter I have drier skin.
This foundation also feels quite heavy on the skin and I feel like I am wearing makeup and have that "Everyone knows I am wearing foundation" feeling. If you know what I mean...
Not only that, I chose the shade 805, which is the second to lightest shade, because the lightest shade looked to *pink* for me. Initially, when I buffed in this foundation, it looked my shade. About ten minutes later, this foundation totally oxidized and turned orange on me. No, just no.
I don't even want to try the lightest shade because that already looked pink in the bottle, so forget it.
PROS:
- Medium-buildable coverage
- Bottle has a pump
- Good lasting power
- Cakey, emphasizes pores and dryness
- Oxidizes majorly
- Pretty expensive for a drugstore foundation ($13)
- Heavy feeling
VERDICT: I would not recommend this product if you have dry skin, bottom line. Maybe oily skin gals this would work for, but definitely didn't on my dry skin. I may have to try this foundation again during the summer months when my skin isn't as dry.
Now for the blonde moment... Why are there no photos you ask? Well I wrote the post at work (productive, right?) and I told myself that when I got home I was going to take pictures of everything and return the foundation to Walgreens.... Yep, forgot to take pictures and already returned it to Walgreens. Seriously? Such a loser... haha
Have you tried this new foundation from Covergirl?
XOXO Mandy
