Covergirl Simply Ageless Skin Perfector Essence Foundation 30 Light-Medium with Covergirl+Olay Simply Ageless 3-in-1 Liquid Foundation Natural Beige

Such a versatile product, even as a dupe of the luxury one, this product gives an amazing glow and has the perfect amount of coverage. It blends easily, and can easily be worn as a light foundation. Stays on for hours (with the right skin prep) and feels like nothing. The perfect product.

I rarely use what I call drugstore makeup…I’m a bit of a makeup snob. No idea why I chanced this, but it is a modern marvel. Works great on my dry aging skin, covers surprisingly well, even. I didn’t expect that! Unless I’m going somewhere fancy, this is all the coverage I need. It makes my skin look plumped up and glowy.

First the "con"; this item arrived in a plastic bag, and the cap was not sealed. Unfortunately, because the color was "rich", almost the color of the cap, I could not determine if this had been used before I received it.Now the "pros": The color is truly sheer, and it provided a nice subtle tint. It is definitely at least 71% water and you have to be careful not to pump too much or you will waste the product. You definitely have to mix it with you fingers or a brush before applying to make certain that the product is well blended before applying to your face. At first, the finish did appear to be shiny; however, that settled down and not the finish is very natural. My naturally oily areas are tamed and the overall performance is nice. After a few hours, my skin still feels soft, moisturized and natural. I will continue to buy and use this product.

This foundation is a great option to even out skin tone without putting on a full face of makeup. Although it applies slightly greasy feeling at first, it settles in fine. I would recommend putting a light powder over it to set it.I would not recommend if you are trying to cover up any acne or spots. It is pretty sheer so you don't get thick coverage. It's more for getting that natural, dewy look.

Good everyday moisturizer with decent coverage. I have freckles and it does even out my skin tone. No issues with breakouts or it creasing

This applies beautifully. I don’t usually wear foundation because I can’t get used to that look in the mirror halfway through the day where something looks a little … artificial. Great natural skin has a bit of transparency to it in person which doesn’t show on a video so while an influencer can cover their face with foundation, it’s not quite right for my life. However, this allows me to apply the product very thinly if I choose because it has great “slip,” so that I get a bit of smoothing out variation in color but also get to maintain that element of transparency. I often layer it over (or under, in the dry depths of winter) elf Halo Glo Liquid Filter which also helps with the feeling of light naturally shining off bare skin, but I’m happy that I don’t always have to do that with this foundation.

This product is easy to apply and does add a subtle shine/glow. I had to buy another color tone as I selected a rather light tone. But the product works as describe.

I am 54, and I stopped using any heavy foundation years ago, but even light foundations were starting to feel too heavy and settle into any lines. I have really good skin (thanks to my mom’s genetics :-) and staying out of the sun a lot!), so I wanted to try this with the hopes it would feel more weightless but give me some tint/coverage. I really like it! I use my fingers to apply it, but will try a brush next time I use it to see if there is any difference, but using my fingers works fine. It blends so well and lasts. Feels like I’m not wearing foundation.

This stuff is awesome! I hate the feel of heavy makeup - this product goes on like a dream. Love the liquid and little beads of colour - applies nicely using a damp makeup sponge. Decent coverage even though the product is lightweight and a fraction of the cost of pricey high-end brands.

This was just perfect for my skin. Beautiful coverage with so much glow. Loved it!

I honestly saw an add for this foundation and wanted to try it, and i just love it. It doesn't even feel like i have something on my skin. The shade matches perfectly and gives a dewy look with a smooth finish. Try it on so that u can believe it

I have golden olive light-medium, however when I tan properly (weather is not sunny enough), I am medium/tan. I was afraid with the skin range, it seemed finding the right match impossible. Glad I went with Medium 40, it matches nicely! I am aware that this match is my winter match, it may not match me soon because I tan so quickly. I have a horrible experience with foundations, it what pulled me off out of makeup for a long time. Finding your foundation is a very personnal experience, everyone reacts differently to formulas.The foundation is buildable, covers imperfection beautifully, giving your skin but better. It does not look like you are wearing foundation, you don't feel it. Watery, you need to insure to blend it perfectly and to layer it uniformely to not be streaky. Blend and tap, I used my fingers as tool, do not like brush or sponge.I have slightly oily skin. I have tested both with and without setting powder (Charlotte tilbury airbrush powder), it honestly don't make much of a difference, except at extending the makeup duration... Still looks gorgeous through the day. I think a ''glue'' primer (eg: smashbox photo primer) is what gonna make the difference with this foundation, it will give a better base to stick throughout the day.This reminds me of Chantecaille future skin, except for it bing a more lightweight, watery (not creamy), more glowy foundation version... Obviously, with a huge price tag difference! I cannot compare to Chanel Les Beiges, never bought as it is heavily fragranced... my skin can be sensitive.All and all, I love this foundation. Hope for shade range expansion.P-S: It has a small dose of bakuchiol, be careful with your glycolic acids. Given it is not a very strong photosensitive as retinol, i do not know why they put an AHA ingredient in a foundation because after you have your sunscreen, how does your skin reaps the benefits of bakuchiol?

I have nothing but good things to say about this skin tint. Its a perfect mix of glowy and pigmented particles. Very much of what todays makeup requires/trends. My skin stays glowy throughout the day and it gives just the perfect amount of coverage
