REVIEW: COVEGIRL trublend foundation



I used the covergirl foundation today(shade: 5-460-classic tan). I wore it all day long (since 9 am and its 7:00 pm now). Before applying it I put on some pur~lisse essential daily moisturizer and a pea sized amount of the Sephora anti-shine primer. It blended out nicely but i did notice that it was a tiny bit dark for me but not enough for it to look weird. I had high hopes for this foundation. I thought it would stay matte all day or at least reduce some oiliness on my face, I was wrong. My face started feeling oily a little bit after noon and by 4 o'clock i knew i needed to get to the bathroom asap to blot it off. Needless to say, it didn't keep my face matte. Since i had to dab it off that took off some of my foundation and my 6:30 pm, the time i took that picture it looked like at least half of the foundation had worn off. It kind of looked like it just melted off my face. It's actually weird that my skin got so oily especially since i put on primer today. Maybe it was the moisturizer, it is a little oily because it has SPF 30 and those tend to be super oily. Oh and i also used some makeup forever setting powder after applying the foundation, so i pretty much did everything i could to prevent the shiny face yet, it still happened almost as if i hadn't applied anything at all. Even though today i had a bad result, i still want to try it again. Tomorrow I'll wear it again but without the oily moisturizer. I hope its better. As for the concealer; it worked fine. Nothing special or out of the ordinary. I did have to re-apply when i got home but that could have been because of how oily my skin got, it just melts away my makeup at the end of the day.

  1. UPDATE: I stopped using this foundation after one or two times. It just wasnt for me, it made my face super oily and it just did not last long. After i stopped using it I left it on top of my dresser for like a month or so and when i went to try it again it had oxidized in the bottle. The colors had seperated and it just looked so gross. I figured that maybe if i pour it out and blended it it would work, well it didnt it just look orange and really oxidized on my hand. So yeah I really dont recommend this foundation, specially if you have oily skin.
