CoverGirl Clean Liquid Makeup Foundation-Sensitive Skin 260 Classic Tan Review




Claims:


Ingredients:


Packaging:




Swatch:



My experience with the product:

This foundation was gifted to me by my cousin who lives in the U.S. This particular foundation however is not available in India. CoverGirl Clean Liquid Makeup Foundation is available in three variants: Oil Control, Sensitive Skin and Normal Skin. Each variant has a wide range shades to choose from. I own the Sensitive Skin variant in the shade 260 Classic Tan which is a bit dark for my actual skin tone. The beige shade would suit me better. So I do not use this foundation on a regular basis.

The foundation is packaged in a glass bottle having a screw cap. I dislike the packaging as taking out the product from the glass bottle is a pain!

The foundation is not very runny in consistency. It has a mousse type of texture. It takes around two minutes to dry up once it is applied on the face. This foundation gives medium coverage which is decent enough. The finish is somewhat dewy. Unfortunately my face turns oily within two hours on application of this foundation (I have very oily skin). If I use a compact over this foundation then my skin remains oil free for around 3 to 4 hours at the most. A compact is a must in order to control shine.

The best thing about this foundation is that it lasts all day long and does not oxidize. It also did not cause any breakouts. I like the way it evens out my skin tone. This foundation is more suitable for use during winter when my skin tends to get dry and this foundation will moisturize it well. This is a big no if you are oily skinned. The oil control variant will work better for those of you having oily skin. If you have sensitive skin which is not on the oilier side then this sensitive variant will work well.

In conclusion, I would say it is an okay product. I would have used this on a regular basis if the shade was a good match for my skin tone.

Pros:

1. Evens out skin tone
2. Fragrance free
3. Hypoallergenic
4. Lasts all day
5. Does not oxidize

Cons:

1. Packaging is bulky. A pump dispenser would be really helpful.
2. Does not control oil
3. Contains parabens
4. Not yet available in India.

Rating: I would rate this product 3/5.

COVER GIRL AQUA SMOOTHERS MAKEUP REVIEW

COVER GIRL AQUA SMOOTHERS MAKEUP REVIEW


I don't prefer using foundation on a daily basis as I feel it is unhealthy for the skin. A lighter product is better than a heavy foundation. Since the last two years I have been using Cover Girl Aqua Smoother on a daily basis and so here is my take on the product. 

SHADE: 755 Soft Honey

QUANTITY: 30 ml.

CLAIMS:


PACKAGING:


SWATCH:


BLENDED:


MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE PRODUCT:

The smoother has a smooth and soft texture and blends easily. The shade 755 soft honey is a perfect match for my skin tone. I'm impressed with this product. I love the fact that it doesn't clog pores and never gave me breakouts. It does a good job at evening out the skin tone and gives a dewy, medium coverage. It is moisturising and does not feel oily on my skin. This product is ideal for all skin types. There is no chance of a cakey made up look even if you apply layers of this smoother. After using this smoother I finish it off with compact and I'm ready to go out.

The packaging is great. The smoother comes in a squeeze bottle with a screw cap and a nozzle that allows me to dispense the right amount. A dime sized amount is enough for the entire face. One bottle lasted me for more than six months in spite of using it daily.

PROS:

1. Suitable for all skin types.
2. Blends easily.
3. Didn't break me out.
4. Packaging ensures there is no wastage of the product and is thus travel friendly. The slim bottle easily fits into your purse.
5. Fragrance free.
6. A little goes a long way.
7. Perfect for daily use.

CONS:

1. Does not cover up blemishes.
2. Not sure about it's availability in India.

RATING:

I would rate this product 4/5.
