CoverGirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 Foundation

CoverGirl Outlast Stay Fabulous

I've been gravitating to the different ranges in CoverGirl for almost 10 years, and am rarely disappointed. This foudation is no different. It has beautiful color for my superpale but olive skin, and I really like the texture. I JUST bought a bottle of Mac, and this came in 3 days later. I put CG on as a 'trial,' and was a little upset that I just bought $30 of foundation when I had this waiting for me. It covers my adult acne pretty well, and doesn't make my eczema skin break out (MAJOR plus). I use a buffing brush to put in on, which creates a smooth surface. At first use, it clung a little in my pores, but after the second or third time, when I figured out the ideal amount, it gave that 'air-brush' look. My so told me he could barely tell I was wearing makeup (ALWAYS a plus). The pump bottle is nice, though I still found myself cleaning out the clear top from residual makeup. It breathed, didn't oxidize, covered, and didn't make me break out. One of the biggest negatives, however, was that it wore off my cheeks near my nose by the end of my workday. Everything else was still there, but my redness and oil was definitely showing through. This happens with all foundations on me, though, so overall not a foundation-killer. A not-so-big negative was that, when it rained hard and I went to pat my face dry, the foundation came off on the tissue and looked 'wet,' and if I hadn't fixed it, it would have been streaky. Overall, this is a nice foundation, though if you have extra-oily skin you might need a mid-day refresher.
