Welcome back! I hope you enjoyed last weeks blog! I am really enjoying doing a series of blogs that are linked together! If you missed it, last week I talked about the NYX HD Concealer, if you'd like to check that out, click here!
Now... onto today's product... I used the Covergirl 3-in-1 foundation in shade 820, creamy natural.. When I am doing a full face routine my foundation is actually my second step ... well, third, if you count primer. I will apply primer, a concealer that matches my skin tone to cover up my dark circles and then I will apply foundation.
The 3-in-1 is a glass bottle with a pump. Can you say YAY! I love products that have a pump. I feel like they are less messy and that it's easier to get to the product.
I will pump about 1.5 to 2 pumps to the back of my hand. I will apply a little more on the days that I skip using concealer under my foundation.
I have applied this foundation both with a brush and a beauty blender and it works well both ways. However, right now I am leaning more towards applying with my beauty blender for one reason. I am struggling with a little bit of dry skin on my nose. When I apply foundation with the beauty blender, my foundation doesn't seem to stick to my dry spots. I just end up with a better finished product.
Now, addressing the picture. The picture on the left I have only applied my moisturizer and primer. The picture on the right is after I've applied the concealer and then my foundation.
Now, what do I think ... you can probably already tell :-)
I LOVE this product and have been using it for a long time. This is probably my 4th or 5th bottle that I've purchased. It's one of those products that when I notice that I'm starting to get a little low, I go buy another bottle! I don't want to run out!
I would say that this a a medium coverage foundation that is definitely build-able. Because I have freckles, I can't really rock a true full coverage foundation because it looks weird if I completely cover up my freckles. However, I do need a good foundation that will even out the way my skin looks and this product does this!
I do notice that I will get a little bit of break down around my chin but I think that's because I am a face toucher. I find myself resting my chin on my hand throughout the day and I think this cause it to break down a bit. I have not noticed a breakdown anywhere else.
Easy to apply, long lasting, and a drug store foundation... SCORE!!
Have you tried this foundation out? ... What do you think?
Make sure to come back next week for a review of Younique Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes Review!! This series will pick up the week after!
Until next time!
