Twenty fourteen was a whirlwind of a year. I lost everything in an arson fire, and moved across country not once, but twice. Now that the dust has settled I am back with a foundation review on Cover FX Natural finish Oil Free liquid Foundation.
In P40
This water based hydrating foundation was created for dry to normal skin types. Cover FX claims the foundation is suitable for all day wear and is build able to full coverage. It is formulated with vitamins C&E to reduce redness and inflammation and with out parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, gluten, talc and sulfates
BEFORE AFTER
For application I start with my fingers and then buff it in with a stippling brush. For the purpose of truly testing the foundation I did not use a primer or setting powder.
3 hours later
I love the finish, it is natural looking and while the redness in my skin has been subdued my skin still shows through.
5 hours later
Some redness is starting to peak through and I am starting to look greasy, nothing a little powder touch up wouldn't fix. I want to note while this foundation was not formulated for oily skin types like myself it is holding up quite well.
8 hours later
My blush is still standing, but the foundation has become quite patchy and many of the blemishes that were concealed are out to say hello. If I had touched up at hour 5, the foundation would have held up better and for longer.
Pros:
build-able coverage
shade variety
easy to blend
feels light
natural finish
Not scented
Infused with vitamin C&E
gluten, mineral oil & paraben free
Cons:
becomes shiny towards the end of the day
coverage breaks apart with oils
not suitable for oily skin
MAKE UP...
with a good setting powder any way
