    VERY DISSAPOINTING!!!

    It was great when I first started using it 3 years ago. The quality of the product has dramatically decreased and the product has doubled in price! Very disappointed that I had to quit using it. It had perfect weight coverage but does not VERany longer. Too sheer for aging skin, their target market!!

    Not for Sensitive Skin

    I really wanted to like this. Lovely light texture, blends easily, and great Light shade, since I'm a redhead. But I also have rosacea, and this irritated my face. ☹ Possibly the bakichuol or gylcols, etc. I'm sure it's a great foundation, as long as your skin isn't sensitive.

    A surprising find at the drug store

    I purchased this after reading it was a “dupe” for the Chanel one that I like. So, if you can get a similarly performing product with good ingredients at a better price, why not? First, is it a dupe? Not exactly a carbon copy but very similar in texture and performance. The Chanel has slightly less coverage on me but is a better overall shade match. This one is a bit trickier to blend but has better longevity and, in my opinion, more natural finish. By itself, this foundation is light and fresh feeling on the face but is a bit difficult to blend initially due to the beaded formula. I’d recommend using a brush for application. There could be more shades for inclusion but one shade will likely work for several skin tones due to the sheerness of coverage. It performs as well as a MUCH more expensive formulation, exceeding it in some areas-but neither foundation is 5 star worthy. Is good to very good for mature/normal/dry skin types. (I can’t comment on oily, as I have no information for this.) I would and have repurchased.

    I love this

    I love this! I Chanel originally came out with a product then CoverGirl did they copycat and a very fantastic one at that. This is very light and has little tiny color beads in it that Burst when you apply. It's very hydrating and feels Divine on your face. The coverage is fantastic and it's not a foundation. It's more like a skin tint. Looks very natural and feels weightless. It is a wonderful product and a much more affordable price than the Chanel version at 60 plus dollars, feels like the same exact thing, I will stick with the Cover Girl. I absolutely recommend. Just for contacts, I am 61 years old, I live in Colorado where it's very dry. I do feel like this would be very comfortable though if I wore it to visit home in Houston where it's very humid. Wait what is this

    Wonderful addition to my makeup collection ! I love the slight cover and glowy finish. I do wish the shade range was a little better but because it’s light coverage it’s forgivable ! Perfect for every day wear going to restock soon

    Live the skin finish

    I love this foundation essence. It gives the coverage I need, the longevity, and the skin like finish I want. The shades are limited and the medium olive is a little dark. Please make more shades with expanded undertones, more olive shades. Then I could wears this all year round.

    Lightweight full coverage foundation

    I wear this foundation in the spring and summer as a tinted foundation for its lightness. The coverage is shocking, very impressive. I don't even realize I'm wearing a foundation when wearing it. I will need to get the shade before this one because it tends to make me look darker than I am but overall I love this light-weight foundation. Myself, I haven't noticed a scent. It is more liquidity but not an issue for me, it helps to blend it better.

    Summertime favorite

    I really love this foundation in the summertime as something lightweight but gives a nice even coverage and very minimal. It’s super hydrating and the packaging surprisingly is great for the product. I would say that it gives a natural finish.

    I was so disappointed

    I wanted to love this product but I just can't. It takes a lot of rubbing in to get it to distribute since it's in bead form. By the time you get it even it's extremely dry and cakey. It made my skin look extremely dry and I don't have dry skin so if you have dry skin don't even attempt to try this product. It also had a weird chemical smell. I'm so sad this was definitely not a good product!

    THE ONLY FOUNDATION THAT MATCHES MY SKIN!!

    I just turned 50 & FINALLY found a foundation that actually matches my skin! I have tried more foundations thn I care to admit & they're either too dark, too yellow, or too pale. Then I found it - Simply Ageless Skin Perfector Essence in MEDIUM OLIVE!! I am so excited I no longer have to waste money hoping to find the right shade, just to end up looking more yellow than SpongeBob.

    Makeup and skin care

    Okay, let’s talk about the Covergirl Simply Ageless Skin Perfector Essence Foundation in 30 Light-Medium — because at this stage of life, if a product can make me look rested without asking too much of my skin, I’m listening This is one of those rare finds that sits comfortably between makeup and low-key skincare. It’s infused with bakuchiol, a gentler, plant-based alternative to retinol, and tranexamic acid to help improve the look of dark spots over time. So while it’s evening things out, it’s also quietly doing a little skin-care multitasking in the background, which I fully appreciate. The texture is lightweight and hydrating, almost serum-like, with tiny pigment droplets that blend easily and give a sheer, natural finish. It doesn’t settle into lines, doesn’t feel heavy, and doesn’t scream “foundation.” Instead, it gives that “my skin but better” look — like you slept eight hours and drank enough water (even if you absolutely did not). Coverage is light to light-medium, which makes it perfect for everyday wear. This isn’t for full glam nights; it’s for grocery runs, lunch with friends, and Zoom calls where you want to look awake but not overdone. It wears comfortably throughout the day and keeps skin looking fresh rather than flat or cakey. Honestly, the only thing missing is SPF. If this had sun protection built in, it would be dangerously close to perfect. As it is, just layer it over your favorite sunscreen and you’re good to go. If you’re in your 40s, 50s, or beyond and want something easy, flattering, and skin-friendly, this is a solid addition to your routine — proof that makeup can still be fun and forgiving.
