    Y'all run to get this!!

    Highly impressed!! Y’all need to run to give this foundation a try. Viral for a reason. Saw this drugstore brand foundation being reviewed online. Peaked my interest so decided to try. I don’t wear ton of foundation but worn many brands to know what’s good. I mainly own high end dept store brands. I was blown away on the quality of this foundation. Super light weight and coverage is just enough to give you evenness. Don’t except high coverage. Perfect for no-makeup makeup look. Quite natural. I ended up buying 2 of them! For reference, light medium color works well if you have MAC NC 20-25 or Tirtir red cushion 22W.

    Smooth

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Covergirl Simply Ageless Foundation is very smooth against my skin, the container is spill proof and was easy to carry with me. I picked the wrong shade and it was too dark for me.

    Great Feeling

    I have used this product for yrs and I still love it as much today as the first time I used it… I love how it doesn’t set in my lines/wrinkles on my face. It goes on so smooth and doesn’t leave my face looking like I have makeup that is caked on.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you like light coverage and a dewey shine, this product is for you! It freshens up your face and gives you a nice glow. It’s also easy to build upon to give a nice natural look. The only thing I wasn’t a fan of was the scent of this product.

    Muy Good

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a beauty professional, I'm very impressed with Covergirl Simply Ageless Skin Perfector. The tone looks natural and radiant, the packaging feels elegant and easy to use, and the light fresh scent is very pleasant. The pigmentation is smooth and even, giving the skin a healthy, youthful finish without feeling heavy.

    Light coverage glory finish

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I did receive this product for free from Influenster to review. I like this. It feels super hydrating going on and feels nice because of that when you're applying it. I did use the method of application where you pump some product directly onto the face and blend with a brush. So, here's where I knocked a star off in the review. The problem is that if you use a full pump on each ckeek, it becomes kind of hard to blend. It ends up just feeling like your skin is wet with the product, and you have to really blend a lot with the brush to get it blended and soaked it. On the other hand if you like half a pump per cheek it blends great and feels good, but i'm left wishing for a bit more coverage and end up using concealer to add that coverage that I want in certain places. Speaking of coverage, this is a light coverage product. I can't even imagine how much you'd have to pump out to even get to medium coverage or how wet difficult to blend it would be at that point. Personally, i'm fine with light coverage, but i know some people would be disappointed with the amount of coverage. This product had no scent that I could notice. I do like this product. It gives a glowy natural finish to my skin. I do like the added skincare products in here that somehow make me feel better about putting a product on if it has skincare benefits. I just wish the coverage was a bit easier to get to a point that i'm happy with without feeling like i'm slathering my face in the product. It's a nice product overall as long as you're good with light coverage.

    CoverGirl is a name you can trust.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking forward to using CoverGirl Simply Ageless Skin Perfector Essence. I applied it with a brush which helped it glide on easily but did look cakey on my older skin. It would be ideal for younger skin for their everyday makeup routine.

    Lightweight coverage!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really have mixed feelings about this skin perfector foundation. On one hand it’s kind of hard to blend out. It’s watery, and doesn’t seem to come together very well. The finish is a nice glowy, skin like finish. I found that it also creases throughout the day around the eyes. Settling into fine lines as well. This is the shade medium tan, and it is pretty orange-ish looking. I definitely couldn’t get by just wearing it alone, without adding concealer to combat the orange hue. Perhaps if I tried a different shade, I’d get much better results. I really love that this contains 0.5% Bakuchiol which is really good for your skin, so having some sort of a skin care added into it doesn’t make it a total deal breaker. I’d say this is for those who have dry skin. I do not, so this just made me oily, especially in my t-zone area. This does provide a nice lightweight coverage. So if you’re looking for something this has a natural finish, adds lots of hydration, with skincare, definitely try this. It just wasn’t for me!

    .5% Bakuchiol great for fine lines

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried the Cover Girl simply ageless skin perfector essence in color 20 light/pale. Overall it looks like bare skin and the result is very sheer. I usually buy one of the lightest shades when I buy foundation & this one matched me perfectly. This is the second lightest color. When I looked at the color inside the container it seemed a bit dark but when I put it on my face it was perfect. Also when I saw the little micro droplets it scared me but they blended easily as I applied it to my face. I used two full pumps for my whole face. I hope the .5% Bakuchiol helps my fine lines. I haven’t seen a difference yet but I have only been using it for about a week. It didn’t irritate my skin at all. The fact that it is vegan is a giant plus!

    So good!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tinted skin protector is seriously the best. I was nervous at first because it does come out pretty watery, but it’s like magic once you start to blend it. It blends wonderfully and goes on so smooth. It corrects my blemishes and gives me a nice glow. It does have more of a scent than my usual face makeup, but nothing too harsh.

    Lightweight Glow with a Natural “Your Skin But Better” Finish ✨

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] CoverGirl Simply Ageless Skin Perfector Essence pleasantly surprised me. The texture is very lightweight and feels more like a serum than a foundation. Coverage is definitely sheer, so it won’t hide strong redness or breakouts, but it does a really nice job evening out the skin tone and making the face look fresher and more healthy-looking. The finish is glowy and natural, without that heavy makeup effect. I especially liked that it feels comfortable on the skin throughout the day and doesn’t feel thick or cakey. If you expect full coverage, this probably isn’t the product for you, but for an everyday “your skin but better” look it works beautifully. From what I’ve seen in other reviews, many people also love it for mature or dry skin because it doesn’t emphasize fine lines as much as traditional foundations. On my combination skin it wears pretty well too, although not for the entire day. After several hours I noticed it starts fading a bit, especially in oilier areas, but overall it still looks natural and fresh. I also really liked the packaging. The dispenser is convenient and easy to control, so it’s simple to use just the right amount of product without wasting it. The design itself looks modern and interesting, and it definitely stands out compared to typical drugstore foundations.

    Lightweight foundation with a natural glowy finish and comfortable coverage.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really liked this foundation. It feels light on the skin and blends super easily. The finish looks natural and glowy without being too much, and it lasted pretty well throughout the day. It also didn’t feel heavy or cakey on my face. The packaging is cute and easy to use too. Overall, I think it’s a good everyday foundation if you want something comfortable with nice coverage.

    Superb skin tint

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Covergirl Simply ageless skin perfector really surprised me. I wasn’t expecting such good coverage. It’s a very thin serumy product with little beads that break up and add coverage. It’s super hydrating and layers great with my other makeup. It lasted all day and left my skin so glowy. You can’t really tell it’s makeup, just looks like your skin but better.

    Simply ageless and even tone on skin

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After using Covergirl skin protector tint, the consistency was evenly matched with my skin tone. The texture was very smooth, no residue left behind. No flaking nor caking, it’s simply ageless. It’s moisturizing to my skin.
