Light coverage with a glow.
I wanted a tinted moisturizer. This gives me a glow without the heavy foundation feel, and enough coverage to just even out my skin.

My new middle-age HG foundation
As my skin ages it’s really difficult to find a foundation that doesn’t look cakey, dry my skin out or accent the texture/fine lines. All of my longtime holy grails (Dior Face & Body, Il Makiage) suddenly just look so cakey and fake. I tried Cover Girl’s Simply Ageless line starting with the cream foundation (meh) and then the 3-in-1 liquid foundation (better than the cream, but not life-changing) then I tried the Essence skin tint after seeing all the hype on social media - well the hype is completely justified. It’s truly a wonderful foundation for us middle-aged ladies. It’s not cakey, doesn’t settle into lines, and the satin finish doesn’t accent texture at all - it leaves my skin looking plump and hydrated. No other foundation has been able to do this for me at this stage of my life. Now, this is a skin tint; it is buildable, but I only use a very sheer layer so I can’t tell you if it covers things like blemishes or scars. It evens out my skin tone perfectly and does partially cover melasma patches. I usually wear ‘Classic Ivory’ in drugstore foundations and my skin tone is a light neutral, but here I had to go a shade deeper. Light looked like a mask on me, and Light-Medium ended up being my Goldilocks match. So try a shade deeper if you don’t like what you initially picked out. I apply a small amount with my fingers first, then I work it in with my Rare Beauty foundation brush. But you don’t absolutely need a brush, you could just use your fingers and be fine. One area of improvement - I wish they would remove the Bakuchiol from the formula. I use Tretinoin every night, and the Bakuchiol tends to somewhat irritate my skin as it doesn’t play with tret very well; I’ve had to scale back on the tret to accommodate this foundation but I’m really hoping they’ll take it out, no one in my age group is depending on a useless amount of Bakuchiol in a foundation to be their main skincare. I’m very surprised they thought it was a good idea to have that in their formula. I know Chanel makes a similar foundation hence all the hype around this one, but I don’t want to pay $75 for an ounce when the Cover Girl Essence already looks amazing on my skin. So Cover Girl, please replace the Bakuchiol with something useful like smoothing peptides. That would make it perfect!

8.5 Hours, No Powder, and a Hot Day — Wear Test Approved
Wore this from 2 PM to 10:30 PM with no setting powder while cleaning all day in warm weather and definitely worked up a sweat. The foundation held up surprisingly well and still looked natural by the end of the day. Needless to say, I’m pleasantly surprised. I originally purchased shade 25 Light Neutral (pictured in the white shirt). It was a decent match for my face, but it didn’t match the rest of my body. I later picked up shade 40 Medium (pictured in the green shirt), and it’s a perfect match for both my face and body. Now I use shade 25 under my eyes and in the center of my face for a little brightness. I’ve seen a lot of people recommend applying this with a brush, but I actually prefer using my fingertips. I blend it on the back of my hand and then apply it to my face with tapping motions in small sections. I don’t rub it all over my skin at once. For me, that gives the most natural “your skin but better” finish. Ironically, the photos in this review were taken on a day when I applied it with a brush, and I feel like the brush emphasized my skin texture a little more. I normally use a light dusting of powder under my eyes, around my nose, and through my T-zone, but for this wear test I skipped powder completely. Even so, the finish stayed natural and comfortable throughout the day. I wasn’t planning on writing a review, but after wearing it a few times, I can confidently say this foundation has earned a permanent spot in my routine. I should also mention that I have combo skin on my best days, but most of the time my skin leans dry. Finding an everyday foundation that I can wear comfortably is something I never thought I’d come across, let alone write a review about. That alone says a lot.

Watery consistency but layers well
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not a huge fan of the consistency. Even when shook up the consistency stays runny. Blends decently when used but takes a while to dry down. Even blending though and layers well.

Light weight
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been really liking this skin tint for everyday wear. It feels lightweight on my skin, blends easily, and gives just enough coverage to even things out without looking like I'm wearing a full face of foundation. The finish looks natural and fresh, and I like that it doesn't feel heavy throughout the day. The bottle needs a good shake before using since the formula separates, but once mixed, it applies smoothly. I've only been using it for a little while, so I can't say much about the skincare benefits yet, but as a skin tint, it's been a solid addition to my routine.

Can’t even tell you’re wearing it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this simply ageless, skin protector essence foundation by cover girl. It goes on nice and easy. It doesn’t show all of the wrinkles and pours in my skin. It is very lightweight on your skin. It feels like you’re not even wearing anything.

The consistency is good and applies well but I can’t get pass the smell. It smells like acetone or chemicals I don’t if I feel comfortable putting that on my face

I don't like that I have to mix it on my hand
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Packaging is nice and compact, the pump works very well. I don't like that. I have to mix it on my own. I feel this could lead to inconsistency. I'm not sure how many color options there are to choose from, but the one that was closest to my skin tone was still too light. (Or maybe it's the summer sun versus when I ordered the product ) After mixing it seems to go on fine, but I feel like I still have to rub it in a little extra to even it out.

Little beads of color to refresh your skin.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love how smooth this goes on the skin. There is no greasy or sticky residue. The little beads provide a light tint to the skin leaving my face ready for the day.

I've been using this for about a week and I like that it's very moisturizing. I pump it on the back of my hand and use the special blending brush to apply to my face. I am 76 And this product bends well and does not settle in wrinkles.

Great coverage
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gives great coverage without caking or being too heavy. I love how it evens out my skin tone without being super obvious. It lasts all day and doesn’t melt off in heat and humidity.

Fresh, hydrated, natural finish
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love how lightweight and hydrating this feels. The under eye area looks smoother, brighter, and more refreshing within minutes. The serum like formula melts right into the skin for a natural finish. The packaging is also great The Hydro beads keeps the products fresh and from drying out. Pictures really say it all. I received this product for honest with you and I would definitely buy it again. The last picture is without the make up.

Love it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my new five minutes routine. It gives you that full coverage without feeling heavy. It doesn’t dry out and it lasts all day. At first glance you might think it can’t stand, but don’t let that full you. It’s now my go to when I don’t want to do too much.

I didn’t like it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was not a fan of the serum acid foundation. It just was not my vibe when it was very patchy. After blending it separated the little vessel things I guess would burst into this. The color was not fried. The consistency was weird. I just overall did not like this.

I don’t know
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The tint looks nice at first, it feels lightweight but the finish just isn’t even unless I work way too much for it. It’s tricky to blend and it settles in uneven patches specially around dry areas

Lightweight, natural glow , smooth finish ✨
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried Covergirl Simply Ageless Skin Perfector Essence Foundation and really liked it how lightweight it feels on my skin. Foundation has unique gel texture with tiny pigmented beads that blend and create a smooth, natural looking tone. It feels very light and gives a soft glow. It gives light coverage but is buildable , so you can easy add more without it feeling heavy. The scent is very faint and barely doesn’t feel on the face. Great for everyday natural look.

Decent Summer Foundation
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried this foundation in exchange for my honest review. I liked how it applied but I was initially very put off by the appearance. When I pumped it onto the back of my hand, it almost looked like droplets of foundation were mixed with a serum. Luckily, once I dabbed it with a brush or sponge, it looked like a normal foundation and actually seemed to work pretty well. It was really lightweight and didn’t feel super drying, but the coverage didn’t seem impacted that that. It covered the smaller blemishes without any special care and only a single pass of foundation needed. Overall, seems like a decent choice for the summer months.
