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.

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'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.

Refreshing better look
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been trying this product to replace a full foundation coverage whenever I go to the gym, is perfect for my very dry weather and love the duo functionality of hydrating serum with little coverage for a better refresh look. The texture is just like a serum very smooth and refreshing to wear.

Beautiful glow!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] At first I was skeptical because application runs watery but once you blend the product in, it blends into your skin beautifully! It performs very well and gives a nice glow, enhancing your skin! Great value as well for the size and amount of product needed.

Decent for Evening tone
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is definitely fun and unique with the little color beads in the bottle. It tells uou to blend with fingers or to use a brush to mix, it doesnt give heavy duty coverage but does help cover some redness and make a more even skin tone.

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.

It’s okay
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s clearly my mistake. I didn’t pay attention to the color when choosing. The product itself is normal, it spreads well on the skin. The packaging is also convenient, you can take it with you everywhere
